My eyes fluttered open to see I was in a room, but not my own. "Hey there." Nikki was standing over me. There was a warm cloth over my head; I held it there while slowly sitting up on a bed.

"Was that a dream?" I asked after remembering the acts of the day.

Nikki sat beside me, rubbing my back, and shook her head, "No sweetie, I'm sorry."

I closed my eyes and took a shaky breath in and out. When I opened my eyes, I looked at the brunette next to me, "He told me I was nothing. He would have never told me that I was a nothing, and he did. Why did he?"

"Sometimes people don't know how to handle things and push the people that love the most away so they can handle it. But regardless he should have never said anything like that." Tears came back into my sight; Nikki pulled me closer to her and I rested my head on her shoulder, "Riley, one of the hardest things we do in life is grow and realize others are doing the same thing, but without us."

I started to sob, "I really don't want him to change, I want him to still be the guy that I loved." She rubbed my back and let me cry.

I woke up on Wednesday and walked to my closet before remembering that today was pajama day and quickly pulled my pink plaid pants on and a simple white t-shirt. My hair was simply pulled into a side braid.

"RILEY!" Auggie came into my room, "Charlie is here." As if on cue Maya walked in through my window, "And so is Maya." He then walked out of my room.

"Thanks for the update Augster." I said sarcastically and turned to Maya. She had sweatpants on and a sweatshirt.

"Man I love this day; it's easier for me to fall asleep in classes." I laughed at her laziness, picked up my book bag, and we made our way to the kitchen.

I gave Charlie a side hug, "Morning Charlie."

"Morning girls, don't you just love pajama day?" I laughed again; I guess todays the most loved. I grabbed an apple and the three of us made our way towards school.

"So Charlie, are you playing in the game on Friday?" Maya asked.

"Yup! Coach chose me and a few others under class men to play in the game." He gleamed.

"Well we will be cheering you on Charlie!" I added, "This will be our first time actually seeing you play in a game, I've only seen you at practice."

"Well let's hope all goes well." Charlie stated.

The Lunch room seemed rowdier then usual today. I thanked the lunch lady as she handed me a tray and I made my way to get a fork for my mac' n cheese.

As I turned around to go back to my table, I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked around and saw Lucas; he was at the end of the don't-talk-to-me-cause-I'm-cool table with Missy on his lap but facing the other way.

I felt a hand on my back and there was Thor, giving me a look of insurance. "You okay? I heard about Monday."

I nodded; I looked over to see Lucas walking towards us and tensed up with nerves, "Don't leave please." Thor nodded and stayed by my side.

Lucas stopped in front of us, "What's up Friar?" Thor stood in front of me, "She doesn't want to talk to you."

"And I don't want to talk to her; Coach wanted me to tell you that practice was moved to three." Lucas walked off towards the lunch line and Thor turned to face me.

"Man he's-"

"Not him. It doesn't bug me anymore because that's not him. That's a devil in costume." I interrupted him and sighed out with frustration. He rubbed my arm and we parted ways to our separate lunch tables.

I placed my tray down next to Amber and looked over her shoulder at her newest dress design. "Oh Amber I love it!" Amber was a great designer and had such an amazing sense of style. Callie was away in Florida visiting her grandma. I enjoyed becoming friends with them; they would swing by the Café for the last few minutes of my shift every now and then.

"Thanks!" she paused, "Hey what was that thing with Lucas and Thor over there?" Amber pointed with her pencil towards the little kitchen.

"Lucas had to tell Thor that practice was changed to three."

Charlie chirped up, "But he already knew that. Coach has told us that for the past three days."

I knitted my eyebrows together, "Really?" Charlie nodded, "Hu." I looked over to Lucas and saw Missy sucking his face as if there was gold in his throat. I scrunched up my face in disgust and turned back to my friends.

"Yeah, it's actually been kind off humoring. Coach made him run laps on Monday because he looked like he just lost his dog." Charlie laughed, I shifted uncomfortably hoping that Charlie didn't notice but sadly he did. "What?"

"Nothing." I looked down at my food, pushing it around on my fork.

"Riles, your lying. What's up?" I didn't speak. Charlie took his hands and forced my eyes to meet his. "Riley?" he said sternly.

"Sunday night Lucas texted me asking to meet him in the whole so I did and we had a full blown out fight and he called me a nothing and then I had a panic attach and Nikki brought me to her house and nursed me back to an emotionally stable Riley." I spoke fast and casually, let out my breath and looked back to Charlie, his eyes furious.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" He got up and started to march across the lunch room. I gave Maya a look of pure worry and we both stood up and cashed after him. Maya stepped in front of him and I ran to get Thor.

"Charlie is going to kill Lucas!" Thor imminently went over, but we were too late.

"WHAT THE HELL DUDE!" Charlie got into Lucas's face.

Oh the suspense! I hope you enjoyed, it was a little slow but things are heating up!
