How You Meet

Riker-

You walk into the park, sighing happily. Before you moved to California, your parents would take you to the park all the time, even as you got older, as it was something that you’ve always done. You proceed to the duck pond and as you walk along, admiring your surroundings, you’re suddenly pushed. You stumble and brace yourself for the cool water. Instead you feel two arms pull you back onto your feet and let you go.

“Sorry.” You look up and see a cute blonde smiling shyly at you. “My brother and I were messing around. I didn’t mean to push you; it’s just that I didn’t see you. Not that you’re invisible or not noticeable, because you are. And now I’m rambling aren’t I?” He asks and you giggle. “I’m Riker.”

“Y/N.” You smile.

“That’s beautiful.” He smiles. “How about you meet me here later tonight, at like 5? Is that okay? You know, to make up for crashing into you.”

“Yeah, okay. 5 it is then.” You smile and he starts walking backwards. His grin soon falls from his face when he trips over a large rock and tumbles into the water. You can’t contain your giggles as he gets out of the water with a red face.

Rocky-

You walk into the music store and put your sunglasses in your hair, smiling at the cooler temperature. Immediately, you walk towards the records section of the store. Of course you loved older and newer bands, but you loved records too. You started browsing and found a Walk The Moon record. Right before you grab it, a hand comes out of nowhere and takes it.

“Walk The Moon? I prefer R5. Ever heard of them?” You look confusedly at the brunette and before you answer, he starts talking again. “And besides/ This cover is better. I mean, look at that guy shredding that guitar!” You look at the record and notice that the same brunette is in front of you.

“Is that supposed to impress me?” You chuckle as you grab the Walk The Moon record from him.

“Well, that’s what I was banking on actually.” He scratched his neck.

“I’m Y/N.” You smile and he just looks at you. “Hello?” You giggle.

“Sorry, your beauty made me forget my name. It’s Rocky, just in case you were wondering.”

“Smooth.” You laugh. Soon enough, you two started talking about music and hung out until the store had to close. Of course you had each other’s numbers by the end of the day.

Rydel-

You approached the empty dance room and smiled. You were new to The Rage, and didn’t lie to have tons of people bombarding you with questions as to who you were. You put your hair into a ponytail before stretching. You heard the door open and you fell out of your pose and onto the floor.

“Oh my stars! Are you oaky?” A blonde girl ran over as you got off of the floor.

“I’m fine.” You smile.

“I usually practice in here. I didn’t think anyone would be in here. Are you new?” She asked as she dropped her bag.

“Yeah. I’m Y/N.”

“I’m Rydel. It’s nice to meet you! You’ll fit right in here. We can both use this room if you want.”

“Okay.” You smile as she plugs her phone into a stereo system and you both start laughing, chatting, and dancing. After class was over, you and Rydel went out for some froyo and switched numbers to stay in contact.

Ross-

“Rydel!” You giggle as she hits you in the face with a pillow. You were at her house for your first sleepover. “Oh, it is so on!” You exclaim as you start hitting each other with pillows and shrieks of happiness erupt throughout the house.
