Chapter 3: Blind Spots
Lucas's POV:
My girl and I were enjoying a nice walk around central park. I finally got to call Riley Matthews, my girl again. It was the best feeling in the world. Then I thought about the day, I get to call her Riley Friar. But even though we had a long way to go, I knew I wanted her to be in my future. Then I thought about yesterday, when she got jealous over Eva, speaking of Eva, there was something completely off about her. I just couldn't figure it out.
Eva's POV:
I was sitting in my room, putting up pictures that I took with Riley, Lucas, Maya and Farkle. Then I looked at the photo I took with Riley and Lucas. I took a pair of scissors out of my drawer and start to cut Riley out of the photo, now it was just a photo of me and Lucas. "Amber" my mom called. "Yes?" I said. "Dinner is ready!" she said. "I'll be down in a minute." I said. I threw away Riley's scrap, and I taped the picture of me and Lucas to my mirror. "Pretty soon I'll have you wrapped around my little finger. You'll be mine, Lucas Friar. Just wait and see." I said as I took another look at the photo and walked out of my room. This was already too easy. Riley Matthews, say goodbye to your world.
Riley's POV:
"Hey Riles, remember those cold play tickets we bought a couple months ago when I was dating Brandon?" Maya asked me as she walked up to my locker. "Yes, why?" I said. "Well, they came in the mail today. Remember how we were going to do the whole double date and everything?" she said. "Oh my god! What're we going to do with the extra ticket?" I asked. "We could give it Farkle" she said. "We can't. He's going out of town this weekend." I said. "What about Eva? I mean it wouldn't hurt right?" Maya said. "Oh yeah! We should definitely invite her. Let's go find her." I said as I closed my locker.
Maya and I were walking down the hall and we saw Eva at her locker. "Hey girlies!" she said cheerfully. "Hey, what're you doing this weekend?" I asked. "Nothing, we should definitely hang out!" she said. "Well, we have an extra ticket to see cold play, do you want to tag along?" Maya asked. "I would love to! Who's we?" she asked. "Me, Maya and Lucas." I said. "Lucas?" she said as her face lit up. "Yes." I said as I eyed her suspiciously. "Alright, text me all the details. See you guys in class!" she said as she closed her locker and walked away. All of a sudden, I felt someone kiss my cheek and put me in a headlock. "Give me a kiss and no one will get hurt." The voice teased. I stabbed him in the ribs with my elbow. "Ow!" the voice said. He let go of me and I soon realized it was just Lucas. Maya stood there laughing, "Aww the little cowboy got beat by a girl!" Maya joked. "This is why you don't put me in headlocks babe, I'm so sorry." I said as I gave him a hug. "The only way I'll forgive you is if you give me a kiss." He said. I stood on my tip toes and planted one on him. I heard Maya groan. "Oh gross, I'll just see you guys in class." She said as she walked away. Lucas and I smiled at each other. He took my books and put his free arm around me and we walked to class together.
It was finally Saturday, which meant the Coldplay concert was tonight. Maya, Eva and I were all in my room getting ready. I had on a white flowy tank top with a black skirt, and a red and black plaid tied around my waist. Then I put my hair up in a high bun. Eva was wearing black sequence shorts and a silky tank top and heels, she was sitting on my bed eating a burrito, as soon as she got up she tripped over her heel, and spilled guacamole all over my outfit. "Oh my god, I am so sorry." She said with pity. "It's okay, I'll just change." I said as I walked back to my closet. Maya gave Eva the death glare but she didn't notice. Then I found the perfect outfit. It was a black romper from forever 21, it had thick straps, and it had see-through lace on the back and on both sides of the romper. I put on small gold earrings, and let my natural curls down. I put on the romper and topped it off with ankle boots, and an over the shoulder bag with floral prints on it.
Eva's POV:
I was sitting on Riley's bed, eating and then I saw what she was wearing and if I was going to get Lucas, I couldn't have her look better than me. So I got up and pretended to trip over my heels. Then I spilled the guacamole all over her outfit. I thought I had her. But then she changed and her outfit was way better than the one she had on before. I rolled my eyes and I put my act back on. "Riley, you look so pretty." I said. "Aw, thank you Eva!" she said. As soon as she turned around, I gave her the death glare.
Maya's POV:
There was something definitely going on with Eva and I think I knew exactly what she was up to. Riley only sees the good in people, and lucky for her I don't. It takes a bad one to know a bad one. I knew Eva was up to something. Then it hit me. Eva was after Lucas and she was trying to get rid of Riley. The way her face lit up when Riley said he was coming along to the concert, the way she talked to him. Then when she "spilled" the guacamole on Riley's outfit. Oh this girl was not going to get away with this.
Riley's POV:
Lucas had finally arrived. He looked great. He was wearing a white V-neck, with dark denim jeans and black leather jacket and black Nike shoes. "Hey," I said as I gave him a kiss. My dad cleared his throat and made his way over to us and stood between us. "How you doing?" he said. "Dad." I said as I gave him the look. "Riley." He said. But as soon as he could say anything else, my mom walked over and dragged him away from us. "Topanga!" he said. "Cory, she's going out with her boyfriend and friends. Be nice." She said. "Fine." He said. "Have fun kids and Mr. Friar?" he said. "Yes, sir?" Lucas said. "I'm watching you." Lucas took a step back.
We sang the night away at the concert, we had front row seats so it was definitely a good experience. Also, I was surrounded by my lovely boyfriend, my best friend and my new friend. This was going to be unforgettable night. After the concert ended, we dropped off Eva and Maya and Lucas dropped me off home last. He walked me to my door and gave me a kiss goodnight.
I'm just going to end the chapter here. I promise the next chapter will be so much better. You'll see more of Eva and her evil schemes. Lucas is oblivious about Eva's actions and he doesn't believe them when Riley and Maya tell him what she's trying to do. What do you think is going to happen with Riley and Lucas? Will they stay together and bring Eva down? Or will Eva win?
