Monday wasn't as much as a drag; sense it was homecoming week the whole school was dressed up as either cowboys or Indians today. Maya was dressed up in a long brown dress and had a feather sticking out of her hair. I wore the same outfit from when we were in Texas, which seemed ages ago.

Charlie said we both looked cute and wasn't surprised by our chose in outfit. He was dressed up as an Indian; apparently his sisters thought he would look so much better in an Indian outfit then cowboy. Maya and I always loved Charlie's stories about how his sisters torment him.

It was near the end of the day when I was sitting in my dad's class when I felt like I was being watched. I casually looked behind me and met green eyes that looked dull and unfamiliar. He didn't look away, And neither did I. I wanted to ask him about his message from last night.

Lucas- Can you meet me after school? In the whole?

I held my gaze and nodded my head then turned back to my doodles in my notebook.

I flung my bag over my shoulder and started to play with my nails. I was nervous to talk to Lucas, so I took my time getting my stuff out of my locker.

"Hey Riles." Nikki, the senior, smiled up at me. We would wave in the hallways and she frequently checked up on me. She loved walking me to class with linked arms to break the unsaid rule of seniors and freshman being friends. "Whatcha doing."

I took a deep breath, "Lucas asked me to talk to him." I knew she could give me advice on how to handle this.

Her eyes narrowed, "The southern boy that hurt you?" She questioned. I nodded my head and bit my lip. "Are you going to talk to him?"

"Yeah I think I will. I have some bottled up feelings that I think I need to let out." Nikki rubbed my arm and nodded.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

I thought over the offer, "Could you wait in the hallway, or near the lockers? It would be nice to have someone there just in case. I have a feeling that I may need a hug after."

Nikki nodded, "Ofcorce." She slung her arm around me; it was nice to have an older girl like Nikki to help me through things. We made our way down stairs and she waited near the water fountain in the connecting hallway to the whole.

I slowly walked to the whole; Lucas was waiting and seemed as nervous as me. He looked like himself, especially with the cowboy outfit on, not like a mean jock that was intimidating when you saw him in the hallway.

I stepped down and his eyes imminently met mine. I took a deep breath in and paused, for a moment I felt that the text wasn't meant for me and I wasn't wanted here.

"Hi." His voice was barely above a whisper.

I finished walking down the stairs and to the platform. "Hey," My voice was shaky, "What did you want to talk about?"

He pulled out the note, "This."

I filled with panic, "Where did you get that." My voice was raised, filled with anger and worry. The last person I wanted to see that note was him.

"That doesn't matter." His voice became stern, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"What?" I through my arms to my side, "It's your fault I ever got that freaking thing! Your girlfriend wrote it!"

"This is not my fault Riley; you should have come to me!" His eyes were filled with anger, by now we were yelling at each other.

"YOU LEFT ME!" tears were starting to flood my eyes. My voice began to crack and the room stood still, the anger started to leave his eyes. "You left me Lucas, not the other way around. Why on earth would I go to someone that abandoned me when I needed you the most? Everyone left me, but when you left me it hurt in a different way, especially when you started to date the girl that wrote me that note." I was a foot away from Lucas, staring him down. My figure pointed to the note.

He gritted his teeth, "You weren't the only one hurt Riley," he paused, "and you shouldn't care if I date Missy or not, you were the one who moved on first. Where's your boyfriend now? You practically through yourself at Charlie!" His voice became loud again and was harsh.

"I wonder if the Lucas Friar I know still exist 'cause this," I looked at him, "Is a huge jerk that that I can barely recognized."

"At least I'm not a little nothing." Lucas Staired into my eyes, pushed past me, and started to walk up the stairs. That's when the tears created a river down my face.

I was chocking and I knew he could her me, "That was the meanest thing anyone has ever said to me." My voice was soft and broken from yelling.

He turned around and his face softened the tiniest bit, but I still couldn't recognize the teenager looking back at me, "Riley."

"You need to leave." Nikki came out and walked up to Lucas, "Your damage is done, now go." He stepped beside her and walked off, I fell to the floor.

I couldn't see from all the tears. My voice started to hitch and I felt as the walls were closing in on me. "Riley." I heard a voice off in the distance, but felt someone's hand on my back, gently shaking me. The darkness began to swallow me, until that's all I could see.

I had to stop there for some suspense! I hope you enjoy this chapter, I loved writing about it. What do you guys think? Was Lucas to rough? Do you think Riley and Lucas will ever unite?
