The Boy That Stole My Heart

Chapter six: The Truth Comes Out Somehow

Chapter six: The Truth Comes Out Somehow

*RYAN’S POV*

“Hello beautiful,” I said smiling. and I could see Riley blush.

“H-hi,” she stuttered back. I smiled at her, and tried to hide my laughter. Her blushing is so cute!

“Jake, please stop tormenting my roomie,” Blaze snapped at me,” Just take a seat, be happy to be back at school for some time.” So I ended up on Riley’s empty side.

“Why are you back bro, not that I don’t mind, but why?” Parker asked me.

“Because I’m aiding Mr. Mlinar this term.” I replied nonchalantly,” it’s the only way I can get in into Julliard in the Americas.”

“That’s cool bro,” Reese said. The rest of the time was just idle chatter until the two girls and Reese went off to class. Parker stayed behind with me, since he has free period first.

“Now, would you like to tell me the real reason you’re here? I know that you don’t need to be a teacher aide to go to Julliard. And I’m sure as hell Riley didn’t buy that. She is from the Americas, ya know.”

“I know, it’s just, I get so tongue tied around her,” I tried to meagerly explain, although I knew I was failing horrendously.

“Yeah, well you better fix that, or our boy Reese will move in on her. You know how he is,” Parker said. And I nodded. We all know how Reese really is. He pretends to be so sweet and kind, but on the inside, he is a real ass. “He just wants her both to prove that he can get her and he wants laid. Both of us could tell that she’s a virgin. I’d tell her how you feel before he can get her.”

“Fine, I’ll see what I can do, but you better not breath a single word to her, or your dead,” I said, giving in. Now I have to find some sort of way to wow her before Reese does. Being in a band does not seem to be working the way it should on Riley. She’s just, she’s different than all the other girls that I’ve met before. She’s naturally kind and levelheaded. She’s even the perfect temperance to my sister’s hot headedness.

“You better. If you don’t by the Valentine’s Dance in three weeks, she’s getting told by me,” Parker threatened. “Got it?” I nodded my head. “Now, we’ve got to get out of here. The staff has to clean up.”

So we left and I began my first day as a teacher’s aide. I didn’t lie about that, but I did lie about the reason I’m doing it.

*RILEY’S POV*

I sighed as I got out of maths class. It was my first class again today, next I have English History. This is the one class I was worried about. Not only will I know absolutely nothing about English History, but I made a fool out of myself this morning at breakfast, I doubted that he would even think of me as a romantic interest anymore.

As I was walking into Mr. Mlinar’s class, I didn’t notice when I ran into somebody since I was so deep into thought.  The guy laughed and turned around to face me. Reese.

“Hey gorgeous,” Then when he saw the look on my face he added,” Why do you look so nervous, sweetheart?”

“I-,”

“You nervous that Ryan’s going to make a move on you during English History aren’t you?” Reese said, and chuckled when I nodded. “Don’t worry; I have that class now too. I’ll walk you.”

So we both ended up walking and laughing as we entered the history room. As soon as we walked in, the first person I saw was Ryan. Heat instantly rushed to my cheeks and I prepared myself for the worst. “Oh Ms. Anderson! How good of you to join us today!” A guy in about maybe his late twenties said as we entered the room. “Come up here so I can introduce you to the class and give you your new book.”

I nodded and walked away from Reese towards Mr. Mlinar. “Alright, here is your new book, and I’ll have Mr. James here catch you up on everything thus far.” I nodded, but internally I groaned. This was my worst fear of the day. “Alright class, this is Riley Anderson, she is our new student from the United States.”

“Hello Riley,” The class chorused.

“Uh, you can go sit back next to Reese for now, Meredith is gone today. You’ll have this class every other day,” I glanced at my schedule and realized he’s right. I have maths everyday then English Literature and English History go back and forth. I walked on back to the seat  next to Reese and he smiled at me.

“Welcome to the back of the class,” He said with a smile. “This is where the class is really interesting.” He leaned over and kissed my cheek. “Sorry about you having to spend so much time with Ryan. But, I’ll make sure that he knows not to make a move on you.”

I opened my mouth to say something, but then Mr. Mlinar started class. It felt like he droned on and on and on. I just sat there pretending to listen for the whoele hour and a half. How could anybody like this class? It disses America so much! But then again, this is England we’re talking about. We did destroy them in the American Revolution. Then why would they still have a little grudge? Aren’t we like allies or whatever with them?

Oh, who the hell cares? It’s just history. All I’ve gotta do is pass, and that’s going to be one of the most difficult thing for me to do. I absolutely hate history.

Finally the bell rang though, and we all shuffled out of there. Reese caught me on the way out, and said,” We should hang out Friday night.”

“Sure,” I said, then walked away. I just wanted to get back to my dorm for my free period. I had a lot to catch up on. We were already in chapter 17 in English History. I had to at least get a basic understanding of all the rest of the book before chapter 17. Not to mention I had several sets of math problems to do.

Being the new girl is just so not fun. Why did you have to move me here mom? Dad? Just why? Apparently they didn’t take into account that I was a teenage American girl, and I was going to be in a school full of hot British guys. I could’ve just as easily got along with Aunt Trish and stayed in Malibu. Why didn’t I think of that then?

Now, here I am in England with several guys making my life more complicated. I like Reese, but maybe just as a friend. I’m not sure, all I know is I can’t help but flirt with him. I really like Ryan, but I don’t think he likes me back. And Parker? Well, I just don’t know if he likes or hates me. He’s quite intriguing honestly. It’s like he tries to be a bad boy, but he’s also kind.

Well, here I go, Chapter 1 of English History. Wish me luck.
