"Girls just shouldn't be friends. They just talk about each other behind their back. Just like we're doing now"- Kate

"Good times be the jingle in your pocket, life's hearthstone there to warm you when you rise. For giving and for growing be the way you know your soul, your heart be always open to surprise"

Mr. Santiago tapped his feet in time to beat of the song the girls were singing. He may not always be the nicest person to them, but he did care about the girls, and he honestly did care about them. He just couldn't tell them that, or he'd get fired.

Riley ran around Ms.De's office quickly picking up little pieces of paper, and random things hoping to find her cell phone holder which she knew she left in here.

"Falling down be only London's bridges…"she sang along with her friends to the song by Joe Wise. God knows where Ms.De had found this song from, but she loved it. True it was almost a Catholic song, but who cares, it fit the girls to a T, as it did to every graduating class that had graduated from the all girls school.

"Riley, what are you looking for?" Ms. Jameson asked walking into the room

"My cell phone holder thingy-ma-bob" she answered

"Oh" Mr. Santiago said and reached into one of the draws in the computer desk. "Here" he said tossing it at her

"YES! Thanks you're the best!" she replied and threw her Twix bar at him, which he gladly accepted.

"What time is he coming?" Ms. Jameson asked her

"Uhhhhh any minute now. Ms.De wants to meet the man I'm running off to Puerto Rico with, as she so lovely put it, so he's coming here"

"RILEY! SING!" Ms.De said playing her guitar

Riley quickly joined in with the rest of the girls not noticing John and Randy coming to the door.

"And time will tell your story, we will listen once again, your song will have its moment, leave your sign on the forehead of a friend" sang the girls.

John grinned as Riley hit the high note, and Randy said "Damn" under his breath

"How in God's name did she hit that?" he asked John who shrugged his shoulders. Mr. Santiago and Ms. Jameson looked at each other then at the two men at the door.

"Looks ok to me" the male teacher said to Ms. Jameson

"Looks damn fine to me" Ms. Jameson responded

"Behave"

"I'm trying!"

"Your vision, keep you changing day by day. Your vision, keep you changing, day by day" The girls harmonized the last note, and Ms.De grinned

"Alrighty then ladies, we're good. Riley wanna introduce me?" she motioned towards the door

"Huh? What?" she said lost for a moment. Ms. Jameson gestured towards the door. "OH JOHN YOU'RE HERE" Riley squealed and jumped on him

"Hey Bella" He said and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead as he caught her and then passed her to Randy

"Hey Bella" Randy said and gave her a brief hug

Riley grinned and quickly turned to the other people in the room. "Ok here we go, Everyone this is my best friend/brother Jonathan, and his buddy Randy. John, Randy this is Ms.De, Madison, Crystal, Jenny, Jackie, and Dianne."

"Hey everyone" John grinned and stepped forward, as Randy did the same. He quickly shook Ms.De's hands and did the same to Ms. Jameson. As he approached Mr. Santiago, the teacher stood up to his full 6'2 height and looked John dead in the eye. "Don't even try to do anything stupid with her" he said, ignoring the girls remarks to his statement. He nodded his head at Randy, and said his goodbyes

"Be good Riley"

"I wi…did you just call me Riley?" she said to his back "Okkkkk, whatever. Ready?" She asked John

"If you are" he responded

"Okie dokie, Bye everyone" Riley said leaning over to grab her bag. Randy quickly took it from her and threw it over his shoulder earning an exchange of looks between Dianne and Madison. Riley quickly hugged Ms. De and Ms. Jameson and was out the door.

As they walked down the hall towards the lobby Riley jumped on John's back. "Yay Piggy Back Ride!" She giggled.

John grabbed hold of Riley's legs, and walked down the hall bouncing every now and then as they continued out into the parking lot, where they passed several teachers.
"Bye everyone!" Riley said grinning

"Bye Riley" they all said back, not really paying attention as they were used to Riley doing weird things.

"Bye Santiago" She continued her farewells as she passed Mr. Santiago once again.

"What are you stalking me Smith?"

"Hey you called me Riley in there"

"Never could let anything drop could you Riley?" Randy commented

Riley rolled her eyes and looked at Mr. Santiago. "Hey for once I'm as tall as you are!" she exclaimed

"Bye Ms.Smith" he said and got into his car and left. Riley giggled as John put her down and opened the car door for her.

"Alright Ms.Smith, your plane awaits." Randy said mimicking the male teacher then had just passed.

"Yay!"

"Can you say anything other then yay?" Randy asked her sliding into the passenger seat besides John

Riley grinned as she stretched her legs out in the backseat. "Yes I can. They teach us big words in everything in my school"

"Really? Like what?" Randy raised his eyebrow at her

"Like…uh…well….I'll get back to you" She said. "Oh I didn't say bye to Missy!"

"Where was she?" John asked

"God knows" Riley responded quickly pressing number 21 on her speed dial, and send.

John put on the radio as Riley waited for Missy to answer the phone

"Hello?"

"Hey! Where were you?" Riley said reaching forward into the front of the car to turn the radio down

"Around. Why?" Missy responded

Riley raised her eyebrow. "Cause I didn't get to say bye to you"

"Oh you left already?" Missy said her voice tense

"Yea. Like five minutes ago"

"Oh…whatever. Listen I gotta go." Missy said

"Aight. I'll call you when I get there" Riley responded, trying one last ditch attempt to get her best friend to actually talk to her.

"Nah, it's alright, I'm going shopping with Lorraine"

"Oh, ok then, bye" Riley said and quickly hung up the phone.

"You aight Bella?" John said

"My best friend is being weird to me" She responded

"Maybe she wanted to come with us?" Randy asked

"Maybe. I dunno. Figures"

"What figures?" John asked as he pulled into the airport parking lot

"That drama had to come up" She said getting out of the car. Randy once again took her bags, and John held his arm out to her

"Maybe it isn't drama Bella" John said

"Jonathan. We're teenage girls. We ALWAYS have drama" she said and grinned

"She's got a point" Randy replied.

"As always!" Riley said

"Great, now that that's cleared, lets go damnit!" John said

A few hours later in the plane

Riley shifted in her seat between John and Randy. She pulled her notebook out from her bag and opened it, quickly grabbing a pen. She began to write.

I'm on my way to Puerto Rico. I missed John so much, so its wonderful that I'm here with him. Randy is, as always, a fickle creature. So sweet one moment, so hard the next.

Riley stopped writing for a moment and looked at the two sleeping men, one on either side of her. Any girl would kill to be in her place

I really am lucky. I mean, my guy friends are awesome, my parents are cool, somewhat at least, my teachers are the greatest, even Mr. Santiago, gotta love the over protective stunt he pulled today. Guess he does give a damn. All that stuff bout wanting to see me in pain was a lie! Ha! Take that sucker!

The only cloud in a perfect sky is my relationship with Missy right now. Why is she acting so weird? In the days following Jonathan's phone call she totally changed. I dunno why. She like started clinging to Lorraine, who I know is one of our best friends, but like to totally stop talking to me? And act like I'm bothering her when I try to talk to her? Maybe I am doing the whole woe is me crap but, she's my best friend, my "twin". Guess we gotta wait and see. Maybe this time in PR will help settle crap.

She replaced the book and pen in her bag and slid down in her seat a little. As she adjusted her pillow, she looked at Randy and John again. Giving each of them a kiss on the cheek she rested her head, and quickly fell asleep
