The Summer Before Senior Year

Seth

Beep! My phone alarm was doing a good job at waking me up. I'd already hit the snooze button like 5 times which was bad because camp checking-in started at 11. My mom was probably going to spit on me if she saw me still in bed because she was taking me and Riley to the camp.

Because I know that Riley won't be up by the time we got to her house to pick her up, I got up, showered and dressed up in my sexiest pair of faded jeans and Riley's favorite V-Neck t-shirt. She had a thing for V-Necks and I was more than happy to make her happy looking at me in my shirt. Just because I'm a guy doesn't mean I don't like to play dress up sometime, I thought to myself. I think I'm the only guy on the football team whose wardrobe is carefully organized. I'm weird like that but Riley loves me anyway.

When I was leaving for Riley's, I texted my mom telling her I was bringing Riley over so she wouldn't have to worry about gas. I was shocked when I texted Riley and she replied instantly which meant she was awake! Hallelujah! She said she was coming down the stairs so I just waited in the living room for her. I heard someone talking on the phone and I saw Riley descending the staircase. I think I even started drooling because she was wearing this white crop top and denim shorts with the aviator shades I got her and some strappy sandals. The crop top was showing some - possibly a lot - of skin which made her look a lot hotter than she normally was. She didn't even pack her red, wild hair, she just put the shades on top and she had her beach bag. Damn, she was hot.

"Seth stop staring at my boobs." she snapped me out of my reverie.

"Hard to miss with that red bra in that white see-through crop top." I winked. Nice comeback Winters. I quickly straightened my face and cleared my throat. She smiled.

"Your text last night Riles," she froze, "What the fuck was that all about?" Nice one Winters. Stupid control freak.

'It was a weak moment. That was the only way to stop crying.' she looked sad avoiding my gaze.

"Why were you even crying?" I sounded more pissed than I should've been.

"Could we talk about it on the way to your place?" she started grabbing her suitcase but I beat her to it and took it to the trunk of my car. She got in with me in the driver's seat and her shotgun. Throughout the ride, we were talking about what happened to her last night. I thought she was done with calling that douchebag, Logan, in her times of need. What pissed me off more was that he was pussy enough to keep on taking advantage of her. Total jerk.

We got to my house just as one of the housekeepers was taking out my suitcase. I put Riley's into my mom's trunk and we got into the back of the car with both of us at the back of the car.

"Did you bring your speakers with you?" she asked as she plugged in her headphones.

"Of course I did." I smiled at her and she shook her head at me and put her headphones on. I followed suit and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

"Okay you guys be good, have fun and do not make me come here prior to my time alright?" my mom was warning us sternly and trust me, you do not want to get on my mum's bad side.

"Yes ma'am." we replied in unison.

"I love you guys so much okay?" my mom hugged us both.

"Seth, would you be a gentleman and take Riley's bags in? She'll meet you up any second." I nodded and smiled as I took both our bags for registration.

There was a really long queue for registration in the camp and it kind of sucked waiting so I started playing with my phone. Riley and I had the iPhone 6S - her mom got her one after a series of straight As. Hers was space gray and mine was rose gold. I did love playing with my iPhone and I was and forever will be addicted to 2048. Riley's always on Two Dots though. I still don't -
