Unknown Lover

Chapter 5

The thought of having to work with James made Riley's stomach feel sick. She just wanted to go home and talk to her new online friend.

DancerGirl17: Hey is this good timing?

He almost immediately replied.

Breakdancer1: Perfect timing ;)

'Finally'. James thought to himself.

DancerGirl17: So did you have dance today?

Breakdancer1: Yeah but it sucked. I got paired up with this incredibly bratty and obnoxious girl. I can't stand her and she hates me.

DancerGirl17: That's too bad :(

Riley typed back, completely oblivious to the fact that his situation was so similar to hers.

Breakdancer1- Yeah, tell me about it.

Riley was left wondering what to say next. She wanted him to say something so she wouldn't have to, but she didn't want to sound like she didn't care either. But she as she was about to type, another message popped up.

Breakdancer1- So what school to you go to?

Riley knew that giving out personal information to strangers was an obvious no, so, she decided to turn this around on her mystery man.

DancerGirl17- What school do YOU go to?

James stared at the screen, wondering if he should reply. He thought that he shouldn't, but after all, he did ask first.

Breakdancer1- Ridgehill High

Riley's eyes widened.

"He goes to my school." She thought to herself.

DancerGirl17- Oh my God that's my school too.

James heart skipped a beat, and started to think who this girl was. She was a dancer, but there was lots of girls in his school that were dancers. And not all went to the same studio as he did. And then there was the possibility that the girl was just lying. But for now, he decided to go with the flow and see where it takes him.

Breakdancer1- Maybe we'll meet someday ;)

DancerGirl17- Maybe we will :)

James looked at all the girls in school the next day in a new perspective.

Who was his mystery girl? Which one of these girls did he talk with? Did she lie? Was this girl actually living on the other side of the world or something? Was everything she telling him a lie?

Riley, who was standing in the hall, chatting with her friends, noticed James's gawking at all the girls. But then again, that wasn't new.

"What's he doing?" Giselle asks.

"Seeking out his next victim." Riley replied, rolling her eyes.

"When is he going to grow up?" She sighed, shaking her head.

"You will never catch me speaking a kind word to him in this lifetime, that's for sure." Riley stated coldly.
