It's A Good Life

Chapter 4

Before I start I changed her name to Riley.

Ok

Lunch came along rather quickly. After history I had found out that I had two classes with the boy who bumped into me this morning; English and math.

After my first three classes I went to my locker then headed to the cafeteria. I sat down at an empty table seeing I had no friends.

Five minutes passed after I'd started eating and I saw movement from the corner of my eye. I turned to my left to see the boy who ran into me earlier.

"Hey... Um..." He said, waiting for me to finish his sentence. "Riley" I said. "And you? What's your name?" I asked then taking another bite of my sandwich. "Matthew" he answered.

I just nodded and finished my lunch in silence with Matthew sitting beside me and staring at the wall.

When I was finished I turned to him, "I'm so sorry, I'm not good at the whole friend thing" I said, making him jump out of his daze. I laughed at his reaction. "Sorry to startle you" I said while still slightly laughing.

"No it's fine" he said and his cheeks flushed red. I laughed again. 'Aww he's so cute when he's shy' I thought.

It felt like we were just staring at each other for hours, saying nothing. But in reality, it was only 30 seconds, and then the bell rang.

I felt my cheeks heat up. How weird would that've looked to anyone else, I thought. I really hope no one saw that, they might think we're more than just two teenagers who just met.
