"Nicky! Get me another Shirley Temple!" I slap three dollars on the bar.
"Whoa, Riley! What's your problem?" Nicky says, grabbing the cheery juice from under the bar.
"Just take a wild guess, Nicky."
"Uhh… that time of the month?"
"Last week."
"Didn't wanna know that. Umm… a headache?"
"Nope."
"Well… uhh… Reid?"
"Ding ding ding. BINGO, Nicky. He's being a prick, like always."
Nicky stifles a laugh. "What'd he do this time Riley?"
"Well, you know about this little bet, right?" Nicky nods, handing me my drink. "Well, Reid decided that he's going to cock-block another guy from me. And I'm not liking it one bit. So I told him off, and he got mad and walked outside."
Nicky shakes his head at me. "Riley, I suggest leaving him alone. You know how guys are. Let him cool off, and then talk to him. He's a part of the bet, he should know better."
"You're right Nicky. Thanks, but I gotta get back to the table. In sure the girls are feeling lost without me!"
"Alright Riley! Take care of yourself."
Heading back over to the table, I bump into Keith Biles, the guy Reid was trying to scare away. Hence I said trying.
"Oh, hey Keith. I'm so sorry about Reid. You know how he is."
Keith laughs. "Yeah, he can't scare me away from you. And if I get evil glares, it's definitely worth it."
I bit my lip, smiling up at him. "Well I guess that's always a plus."
He nods. "Hey, do you wanna head out of here? Maybe go to the shore for a little while?"
"Yeah, that'd be great. Just let me get my stuff." I head towards Sarah and Kate at the table. "Hey girls, Keith is taking me to the shore for a little while. Then he's bringing me back to the dorms. So if you see the asshole, tell him not to worry about taking me home cause I found a better ride."
They laugh. "Okay Riley. Be careful! If you need any help, just call!"
I nod and grab Keith's outstretched hand. Leading me outside of the bar, he walks towards his silver 4-runner. "Are you hungry?"
"A little… why are you?"
"Well, I figured we could drive through somewhere and get a little snack for the beach."
"Okay. That's perfectly fine."
He opens the passenger side door, letting me in, and closes it behind me. Well, that was gentleman like. I like him… he plays nice, unlike someone I know.
A pair of blue eyes follows Riley and Keith walking to a 4-runner as he watches from the back porch of Nicky's.
Fine Riley. If you wanna play that game, I can play it twice as mean. I'm sure a threesome counts as two girls… right? Hell yes it does. Now what two girls to get... Hell, maybe I'll have a mother fuckin 4-some. Or maybe an orgy. Why not…
Kicking the porch railing, the blonde hot-head walks into the bar, searching for a slut or two.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The beach is so soothing at night."
Keith and I are sitting on the sand, watching the tide rush in and out.
"Yeah, I come down here every once in a while. It's nice to just sit here and watch the tide."
We're both in History class together. He sits in front of me every day. Recently, I've noticed him glancing at me throughout the class, so it didn't surprise me that he asked me to come here with him at Nicky's.
He's also on Spenser's football team. Which, to me; is fucking hot! The outfit looks so good on him. Those tight pants just cover his ass perfectly. Whew… I could faint watching him set up for ball.
"Riley, what college are you planning to go to?"
"I'm actually not sure. I haven't really thought about it. Most of my friends are going to Harvard, but I was thinking that I might go to Boston College. It's definitely a more laid back atmosphere. I think I would like that better than Harvard."
Keith nods. "Yeah, that's where I'm going. Plus, I heard that BC has some great parties during the year."
"Oh, so that's why you're going there; for the parties." I say, letting out a small giggle. "Hoping to get some free booze and sluts?"
He chuckles at my comment. "Booze, possibly. Sluts, no thanks."
"Aww, why not? Don't you want to give the sluts a chance?"
He shakes his head. "Nah, not into that. I can understand girls dating a lot of guys, but not sleeping with all of them."
"Well, that's good. You don't need to get a STD within your first week of college."
"Exactly. I just like to have fun."
"That's what high school is all about, right?"
"Yeah, and there's something else that's fun too."
"Wha-?" Keith presses his lips to mine. I close my eyes as he moves his hand to cheek.
Damn. He's a good kisser. Almost as good as Reid. Almost. Wait, I'm kissing a gorgeous football player and all I'm thinking about is Reid. What the hell.
Damnit.
Keith moves his hand to the back of my neck, pulling my face closer to his, while his tongue brushes my bottom lip.
Okay, he's a very good kisser. I love it when a guy grabs my neck while kissing. Keith did it just like Reid does.
Shit.
Stop thinking about Reid, Riley. Stop it. Right now.
He's being a dick right now anyways. Stop it, NOW.
I grab Keith's neck, pulling him even closer to me. His hand traces down my back, resting on my hip.
Reid always traces circles on my hip when we're lying down together.
Why God? Why are you doing this to me!? I swear I didn't do anything wrong… I think.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here ladies."
And speaking of the fucking devil himself…
Keith and I break apart, looking up at a semi-trashed Reid, and two, definitely hammered girls. No, scratch that; two, definitely hammered, major sluts.That fits better.
Reid's arms are draped around the two girls' shoulders and I can clearly tell that they've already had a little 'fun', according to Reid's hair.
"What do you want, Reid?"
"Nothing from you. Just trying to find somewhere secluded for us. If you know what I mean." He says, giving each of girls a wink.
"Well, as you can obviously see, that's not here; so you can leave now."
"Girls, I think we can deal with a little company. What do you say?" The girls nod at him, as they sit down beside Keith.
"Reid, no! Don't even think about it!" I say standing up as he begins to sit down.
I am so pissed. This is unbelievable! How can he be so rude and inconsiderate?!
Oh wait, I forgot, this is Reid we're talking about.
The Jerk.
The Dickhead.
The Prick.
The Asshole.
I think that sums him up pretty well. Don't you think?
"Riley, are you going to sit back down?" Keith asks me politely.
"I wasn't planning on it." I say, glaring at Reid.
"Come on, Riles! Don't be such a party pooper!" Reid pipes in.
I bite the inside of my cheek in frustration as I sit down beside Keith, as far away from Reid as possible. Asshole.
"So... what have you two been doing?" Reid asks, glancing roughly at me.
"Talking. You know, that thing you don't do on dates." I glare back at him.
"Didn't look like talking to me."
"Reid, it's none of your business. So stop making comments about what we were and weren't doing."
"Geeze, I was just asking, Riley. Take a fucking chill pill."
"Reid, you need to learn how to fucking respect people's privacy. So don't even tell me to take a chill pill."
He scoffs. "Are you on your fucking period or something!? I don't have to take this shit. Come on girls, let's go."
"Good, cause I don't want you here."
Reid stands up, pulling the trashed blonde with him. The brunette; however, stays sitting down, staring at the sand.
"Come on, Sandy!"
"It's Shandi."
"Whatever, Cindy." He pulls her up, and they all walk off, slowly and drunkenly.
I briefly hear Reid say, "Do you two lovely ladies want to head back to the dorms? We can have a little party of our own."
The girls giggle as they disappear from my view.
"What an ass. I'm so sorry, Keith! I can't believe him."
Keith smiles. "It's okay, Riley. I guess I better get used to it."
My brows furrow. "Why?"
"Well, if I'm going to be around you all the time, I'll be hanging around him all the time."
I smile. "Are you saying that you're going to be around me all the time now?"
"Well, only if we date." He looks into my eyes, daring me to ask the question. Well, I'm gonna ask him, damnit.
"So, are we dating, now?"
"If you wanna be." He says smiling.
"I think I could handle that."
He laughs, pulling my face toward his, kissing me softly. After a few minutes, he pulls away and stands up. Grr, I was enjoying that kiss.
He reaches his hand down to me and pulls me up from the sand. "Let's head back to the dorms. We can go watch a movie."
I nod, smiling up at him. "Okay. But I am not putting out. Remember, I'm not a slut."
He laughs, placing his arm across my shoulders. "Oh, believe me. If you were a slut, I'd already be done with you, Riley."
I smile. I think I can definitely get used to this…
Ladies, this is where the story comes to an end. Well, at least this chapter anyways…
And I haven't gotten that many responses on what to do with the story. Either:
1. Supernatural elements
or
2. Normal high school life.
However, right now, normal high school life is winning. I have a few more chapters before I tie in the supernatural if it's going to happen.
Thanks for reading!!!
