"You like Amber!" I squealed in joy when Charlie told me his crush.

"SHHH! Riles!" His face held a blanket of pink in embarrassment. "Keep it down; she'll be here any minute."

"Sorry, but it's so cute! How long have you liked her?" I lowered my voice.

"A month or so." His voice was soft, I could tell he didn't want me to catch what he was saying, but I did.

"Charlie you have to tell her! Invite her to the football game and the after party that way there's enough people around so it won't be awkward and if you need any help with small chat Maya and I will be there."

I could see Charlie think about it, "Okay."

"Okay?" I asked excitedly.

He nodded, "Okay."

I squealed, "Hey Guys, what's up?" Maya asked while she and Amber walked over to the table.

"Nothing." I said smoothly, "But Maya, I forgot my phone someplace and need your help."

"But isn't it right-"

"Maya come on." I grabbed her arm and ran out of the cafeteria to leave the two love birds alone.

"What was that about?" Maya asked, "Your phone is in your pocket."

"Charlie likes Amber!"

"AWWWWW!" Maya cooed, "How long do you think it will take him to man up and ask her out?"

"At least five minutes." She nodded.

"Hey girls." My dad greeted.

"Hey dad."

"Riley, it was the funniest thing. Miss. Finn came up to me today and asked if you were feeling better," Oh no, "And I told her that you were fine this morning. Now, why would she tell me that you left class, not returning, because you felt sick? Even though you were perfectly fine this morning?"

I took a deep breath, "Well," I started, "See dad, I had to go see Maya and get something."

"Oh yeah? Like what?" His arms folded, clearly doubting me.

I turned to Maya and she imminently perked up, "I had to give her a tampon!" I bit my lip trying my hardest not to burst out in laughter. Maya totally kept a straight face as my dad's turned bright red.

"I got to go." Just like that my dad left and I was off the hook.

"You're the best." I told Maya.

"Oh I know."

I woke up Friday with a smile on my face, today all classes were shortened from the big pep rally. Charlie greeted Maya and me once we got to school, grinning from ear to ear. "Well hello there." I smiled back, "I'm guessing things went well?"

"Yeah, Amber's going to wear my Leatherman's Jacket to the game!" His smile grew.

"You two are practically married." Maya stated. Every football player at our school picked a girl to give there jacket to; it was a huge honor and kind of like a secret admirer thing. Some boys would make this proposal and ask the girl to wear it, Kind of like a promposal. It was every girls dream to wear there Leatherman's Jacket to the big homecoming game.

"Who did the other freshman pick to wear there Jacket?"

"Um, Yogi picked jess, Zay sent it out to Vanessa, and I'm not sure who Lucas picked seeing how he and Missy broke up."

"What? Lucas and Missy broke up?" I stumbled on my words, shock took over me.

"Yeah didn't you hear?" I shook my head, "Lucas ripped Missy apart yesterday after practice, for the note she gave you and all of the posters, everything. It was actually quiet entertaining."

I could feel a small smile begin to form on my lips; Lucas and Missy were finally done.

"Hey Amber." Charlie waved her over and swung his arm around her shoulder. Amber reacted by putting her arm around his torso.

"You two are so cute." I smiled; both of their faces healed a light blush.

"It's disgusting." Maya faked a gag. Charlie rolled his eyes and Amber laughed

"We have to go, talk to you guys later." Charlie walked away with Amber under his arm.

"So who do you think Lucas's jacket will go to?" Maya asked.

"I don't know," I tried to sound uninterested but I know Maya saw right through my act.

"Come on Riles, I know you're dying to have the old Lucas back. When do you think you'll forgive him?"

"I don't know." I kicked my feet, "I want to forgive him, but I'm still hurt." Maya nodded. The bell rang though out the school and with that we parted ways to our first class.

The gym was filled with screaming teenagers at the end of the day. All of the students were gathered on the bleachers and the football team was gathered in center court. Jon Bark, the quarterback ran from one side of the gym and back waving his arms to get the crowd pumped up.

I looked around at the crowd of football students, trying to find Charlie but instead found emerald green eyes looking at my direction. I looked behind me to see if Missy was there, or anyone else, but no. I was the one he was looking at. When I turned back he gave me a slight wave and smile. I could feel my cheeks heat up and gave him a half smile.

The football team started the pep rally with a ten minute long dance routine that made everyone fall over in laughter.

Then they had a contest where they dressed up the four freshmen in Disney princess costumes and we had to vote who wore it the best, Zay obviously won when he rocked Jasmine. Maya, Amber, and I died of laughter at the sight of Charlie dressed as the lightly mermaid, with a coconut bra and everything. Lucas looked cute as Cinderella, but also a little nervous dressed up in front of the school.

The pep rally was almost over when Lucas was handed the microphone and made his way in front of the school. "Can I have everyone's attention please?" People began to quiet down, "Riley Mathews, can you come down here for a minute?"

OHH! What's going to happen next? I hope you guys weren't too disappointed with Charlie and Amber, I thought Riley Kind of had enough drama to deal with already. Tell me what you think!
