Bullied

Chapter 6

Riley's POV

I was getting ready to go "out with James", I decided to not go fancy cause we were just meeting at a café. I chose a pair of skinny jeans and a shirt that wasn't too fancy. I didn't have a lot of money but I had enough to buy new clothes when I wanted. I don't buy clothes much since people don't even care what I look like, no matter what I wear they will always make fun of me. After I got changed I put on a bit of make up, then went downstairs in the living room since there was still 30 minutes until I had to leave.

"Well you look happy!" My dad said.

"Yeah, I guess so...."

"Where exactly are you going again?"

"I'm going to the café..."

"Alright.... Don't be back too late."
I can tell he's kind of worried.

"Don't worry dad, I won't be back to late."

James' POV

I was waiting for Riley at the café, I came a bit early but it's 7:00 now and I texted her to meet me here at 7.

A couple minutes later I saw someone walk in, it was Riley but she looked so happy! She came over to my table and sat down.

"Hey Riles." I say.

"Hi.... When did I tell you that you could call me that?" She asks curiously.

"Uhm... You know what I don't have to call you by a nickname."

"No it's fine call me whatever nickname you want..." She smiles.

"You look happy tonight!"

"That's what my dad said, I guess this will just take my mind off of things." I see her expression change.

"Do you want to go get something?"

"Sure."

We go up to the counter and I order my drink and then she orders hers and we sit back down.

Riley's POV

We continued chatting when I got a text from my dad.

D: When are you going to be home?
R: I guess I'll leave now, cause I'm assuming you want me home.

"James, my dad wants me home now..."

"Alright, we have been here for awhile anyways."

We both got up and left the café but he stopped me in the middle of the parking lot.

"Did you drive here?" He asks.

"No, I don't have my drivers license..."

"Here I'll drive you home then."

"Thanks, but I'm fine."
I start to walk away, but after a few steps he stops me.

"I'm going to drive you, besides its getting kind of cold out."

"Fine...."

I get into his car, it wasn't anything out there but it was a nice vehicle.

"Do you want to eat lunch with me and my friends tomorrow?" James asks me.

We were just pulling up to my house since I didn't live far from the café, so I had to make it quick.

"I don't know James, I mean your nice and all, but I don't know about Michelle and Chloe and all of them."

"Well will this change your mind?"

We were in my driveway and he leaned over and kissed me on the lips for a couple of seconds but I pulled away to talk.

"I guess so." I said and then walked away.
