Regina's POV:
When I woke up Riley was already gone. "How are you feeling?" Cady asked comfortingly. "Fine." I replied sitting up. "Really? You weren't fine yesterday." Janis snorted raising her eyebrows. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just tired." I said rolling my eyes.
I sat down at the table glaring at Gretchen. I couldn't help it. She was just annoying me. Gretchen fidgeted under my harsh gaze. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to get back at Jason, it was stupid." Gretchen said looking down ashamed. I sighed. "It's fine. I would've done the same." I said before I was thinking. Janis laughed. "We know you would, Regina." Janis said smirking. I blushed. "N-no I didn't mean it like that." I protested weakly. "Sure you didn't." Cady replied sarcastically smiling.
"Why did you ever feel sorry for Riley?" Gretchen asked curiously. Everyone turned to me to hear my answer. Oh what the hell. Riley hurt me so I can tell them. "I still do. And this is why." I replied sadly handing them a newspaper cut-out. Cady's eyes went wide, Gretchen gasped and Janis looked oddly guilty.
I decided to go for a walk in the park to have some fresh air. As I walked I heard crying, no sobbing. "Hello?" I called out. The sobs died down. "Who's there?" An oddly familiar voice asked coldly. "Regina George." I replied softly. "Shit." Muttered the voice. I walked closer to the voice cautiously.
I ran over to a person hunched over a pond. I tapped their shoulder. The person turned to me. For a moment I didn't recognise her. Only because when I usually see her she is smirking, winking and making flirty remarks. It was Riley Winters. The person who reduced me to tears just yesterday.
I sat down next to her. "What's wrong?" I asked Riley softly as I rubbed circles into her back. Riley shook her head and stood up. "Why are you being so nice? I'm an asshole, bitch player. The unwanted girl. Why would you want to help me? I'm a mess." Riley whispered confused.
"Because I don't think anyone deserves to suffer through the tears by themselves. Even if it's you Riley Winters." I said also standing up. Riley glared at me. "I don't need your help." She said walking away. I caught up to her. "I think you do." I told her.
Riley snorted. "Please, I'm perfectly fine by myself." Riley protested annoyed. "Well I don't." I whispered. "You don't know me." Riley replied coldly. "I don't but I would love to." I replied calmly. Riley smirked. "You love a lot of things about me, my Queen." Riley replied winking.
I crossed my arms. "Your defence mechanism doesn't work on me." I told her determined. Riley shrugged. "Well sweetheart, I guess you're a challenge then. And I like challenges." Riley smirked. I snorted. "Your tricks won't work on me." I replied determined.
Riley sighed. "Regina, I saw you were perfect and I loved you. I saw you were imperfect I loved you even more." Riley replied looking straight in my eyes. I gaped at her. Wow. I'm falling hard for this girl. She's too hot for her own good...
I shook my head to stop my thoughts. "I don't care." I shrugged trying to act aloof. Riley laughed. "Sure you didn't, my Queen." Riley said sarcastically before walking away.
I told Cady, Gretchen and Janis about me and Riley's odd conversation. Janis rolled her eyes. "Riley Winters is bad news." Janis said. Cady frowned. "I'm not sure. Maybe if you find the real her you'll realize she's just misunderstood?" Cady suggested. "Or maybe she's both?" Gretchen asked trying to prevent Janis and Cady from fighting.
I frowned at Gretchen. "How could Riley be bad news and misunderstood?" I asked confused. "Well she could be a bad person but have some secret insecurities and doubts." Gretchen explained. Maybe. Maybe Gretchen might just be right...
"Do you know what fishy to me?" Cady asked. "What?" Gretchen replied. "That Riley calls Regina her Queen. But with everyone else she doesn't say they're her's. She just calls them muffin, cutie or sweetheart." Cady said frowning. "Whatever Riley confuses everyone." I replied shrugging.
I found myself calling Riley's number. "Why hello, my Queen. Couldn't live another second without my amazing voice?" Riley asked. I could just see her smirking her annoying ass off now. But if I listened closely I could hear the tiredness, regret and sadness in her otherwise playful voice.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." I replied shrugging. "I'm great. Just getting myself ready for bed. Of course we could go to bed together if you want." Riley flirted. I rolled my eyes laughing."No thank you, Riley." I replied shaking my head at her flirty comments. I could see Riley pouting now. "And why not?" Riley challenged.
"Because you're too annoying." I replied. "Oh. I was looking forward to it." Riley pouted. "We could do all sorts. It would be better then all your past boyfriends put together." Riley added probably smirking her hot butt off. I rolled my eyes. I was about to reply.
"YOU BITCH! DID YOU JUST PUT WORMS ON MY BED AND THROW GLITTER ALL OVER LOUIE?" Yelled Riley's stepdad. Riley sighed and I stifled a laugh.
"My darling, Richard keep it down. I'm on the phone. So I can't hear you beautiful right now!" Riley yelled back. "YES YOU CAN-" Richard started. "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" Riley yelled over Richard's voice.
"Sorry about that, my Queen. Techinical difficulties there." Riley said talking to me. "Wow you're stepdad really loves you, huh?" I replied laughing. Riley laughed her beautiful laugh too. "yeah he does. I'm the only one in this house with courage to disobey him." Riley replied.
