Chapter 2
Later that day in Riley's room her and Maya are sitting at her bay window
"So you actually talked to him?" asked Maya
"Well not exactly, I just said I'm fine and that's pretty much it, then I walked off"
"Riles you've been obsessed with this guy for years and now you finally got your chance and you just walked off?"
"I freaked I didn't know what to say" she sighs "he probably thinks I'm a freak"
maya pats her back "aww sweetie it's ok"
"I just looked at his eyes and my brain just froze"
"well next time just take a breath and remember he's just a guy"
"like I'll ever get a chance" riley goes to lay on the bed with her face in her pillow"
maya sighs and just stares at her poor shy friend.
"hey listen wish I could stay but mom and shawn want me home for dinner"
"Okay bye" riley says with her face still in her pillow
Maya is on her way out the front door when she runs into Josh who is just getting home.
"oh hey Maya" he smiles
"Hey Josh" she gives him a small smile
"you headed home already"
"yea mom and shawn wants me home"
"ok..hey tell shawn Ill see him tomorrow, he's helping me with a photography project"
"ok bye" she walks out
Next Day at school
Lucas and Zay are at their lockers. Lucas looks around the hall and his eyes land on a familiar face. It was the girl he bumped into yesterday. He hadn't been able to get her out of his mind. He was very curious as to who she is and how he had never noticed her before.
"Hey do you who that girl is?' Lucas asks Zay
"Which girl?" his best friend asks
"The one over there" He nods his head the toward Riley
"No idea, I've seen her around school a couple times but I don't know her name or anything" zay answers
"I ran into her yesterday, I've never seen her before stares at her as he closes her locker. As she turns to walk her eyes meet Lucas. He gives her a smile Riley freaks and stops staring and walks off to her class.
Lucas just watches her go, Zay waves a hand in his face to get his attention
"hello anybody home"
"huh oh yea sorry"
they leave to their next class.
Riley is on her free period so she uses that chance to go get her lunch from her dad because they accidently took each others lunches. She goes to to her fathers classroom with the lunch bag in hand. She tries to open the door quietly so she doesn't draw too much attention to herself but she still has the whole class with their eyes on her.
"hey sweetie how can I help you"
she feels her cheeks turning red from her dad calling her sweetie she just points to the brown paper bag and he realizes what shes here for/
"oh yea let me get yours ints in my bag. Class just keep working"
riley stamds by the door with her head down waiting for her dad to give her her lunch.
As she waits she feels eyes on her so she looks up realizes the eyes belong to non other than Lucas Friar. They stare at each other for what feels like forever until she is brought back to reality by her fathers voice
"here you go sweetie" he hands her her lunch
"thanks" she says quietly again
she walks out the door and as Mr. Matthews begins addressing the class Lucas stares at the door that the myserious girl had just walked through.
So shes mr. Matthews daughter he thinks and he realizes that if shes his daughter she must be Josh's sister how had he not known josh had a sister. that meant josh could probably tell him the name of the girl who had occupied most of his thoughts
