"Remind me again why we are doing this?" West laughed as we pulled up to Messer high
"Where is your school spirit?" Thalia sung
Tonight was the kick off night for the football season, it's Messer against Manor. Meaning for the one occasion, the schools mix
Although it's evident that they don't like mixing, it tends to be one school on each bleacher
"I left that back when I was 3, after that it got a little boring" West teased making Thalia roll her eyes

We started walking through the corridors, it wasn't much different to our school in all honesty. I think it could be an easy duplicate
"Alright, we'll meet you outside" Eldon said as the girls left us to use the bathroom
"where exactly are we meant to be going?" I asked and they all shrugged before 3 girls came running through the corridor all of which laughing more then the last

A small brunette ended up crashing into me but I caught both of us with me arm so neither of us fell
"I'm so sorry" she laughed
"don't ever worry about it" I said making her do a double take at me
"Riley! Let's go! Before Freddie has our ass on a platter!" A tall blonde said
"Alright Aspen!  Christ" Riley said leaving me a little shocked
She looked at me again offering me a smile before running off with the girls again

Could that have been the Riley from the letters? Could I have just unofficially met her?

"Yo man, you look like you've seen a ghost" Eldon said pushing me a little, I rolled my eyes looking out in the direction Riley had just left
We got to the bleachers and I began looking around before I found Riley again she was front row of her schools bleachers, sat with the same girls as before and talking to two of the boys on the team. The only two boys she's mentioned in her letter I'm assuming

I couldn't help but take my phone out of my pocket, surely... There can't be that many Rileys here right?
Like it's not the most common name in the world
As I searched her name on Instagram. I came to one profile in particular and the moment I clicked on it. I knew it was the Riley I was looking for 

If not for the Nana Highlight but also the tags in her pictures matching up with the names she had written beforeIt just merely confirmed the point that I had bumped in My Riley

"I don't know man, I think he's broken" Eldon said making me look up from my phone to see both Eldon and West looking at me
"What are you twits on about" I asked locking my phone
"You, you've been weird ever since you bumped into that girl" Eldon said
"Nice save though" West said nudging me making me laugh

"It was Riley" I said making the all look at me confused
"Riley?" West asked
"The letters!" Eldon said coming to that realisation 
"Oh woah!" West said making me roll my eyes
"she's pretty though" Eldon said making me nod

"Something tells me, this is just the beginning" West said wriggling his brows
"We are not telling this to anyone" I said pointing to them as they held their hands up in surrender
"Hello hello" Michelle said coming to join us with Thalia
"You know, I don't know why this feud is such a problem. The people here are so nice!" Thalia said making us look at her slightly confused

"Thalia met a guyyyyy!" Michele teased making Eldon's ear prick up
"You what?" He asked making both West and I burst out laughing
He's had an unofficial thing with Thalia for god knows how long. But neither of them will admit to it and I mean, who knows.. If he doesn't act soon, maybe he'll miss his window

I glanced back across to see Riley still laughing and smiling with her friends
I've never known this much about a stranger and what can I say. I'm more and more intrigued the more this project continues
