How I fell for you

Chapter 1

I'm hurting baby, I'm broken down

I need your loving loving

i need it now-

I press the snooze button on my alarm clock as Sugar by Maroon 5 plays. I check the time. It's 5:00 am. Let me explain.

I live with my parents at Shepard's horse ranch. We own three horses- one for each of us. The rest we board. My horse's name is Prince. My parents bought the ranch when I was two and we have lived here ever since. We also live with my uncle Garry. He's pretty cool. I remember when I was younger, my uncle would always sneak me candy or he'd let me stay up late and watch scary movies witch wasn't the best idea. I'm still scared of those.

I go to Crestview high. I'm finally a senior this year. I'm not extremely popular but most people know who I am and I have a bunch of friends. I even have a boyfriend. His name is Ryan. He's perfect. We have been dating for 6 months now. I couldn't be happier. Now back to my morning.

I get up and open the blind. Contrary to most people I love mornings. They just make me fill up with joy. It's weird I know. I pull out a pair of old jean shorts and a baggy red t-shirt. I run a brush threw my hair and go down stairs.

"Riley there's my favorite niece!" Uncle Garry says.

"I'm your only niece." I say laughing. I grab a piece of toast on the table and head to the barn. Time for me to feed all 37 horses.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'm finally done feeding the horses. I pull out my phone from my pocket. It's 6:49 am. I walk back inside to get ready for the day. Since I smell like shit I need to take a shower. I've got an hour until I need to leave for school. I get upstairs and head for the bathroom. I quickly get in. I don't have much time. 

Once I'm done, I rap a towel against myself and brush my hair. I brush my teeth and go to my room to get dressed. I find 3\4 black leggings with simple white tank top and a grey cardigan. I go back to the bathroom to dry my hair. When I'm done, I let my hair loose mid way own my back and start to put my make up on. I put a little bit of eyeliner and some mascara an a touch of lip gloss.

I hear a horn beep. It's my ride. Ryan drives me to school everyday. I grab my bag and put on my dark blue Keds on. I get out of the house and sit shotgun in Ryan's car.

"Hey babe." Ryan says.

"Hey." I say before kissing him.

We continue to make small talk on our way to school. This is one of the many reasons why I like him. He accepts me for who I am and it's never awkward between us.

''So are we still on for Friday night?" Ryan asks me.

"Ya sure pick me up at 7:00"

We pull in to the school parking lot. It's only 7:30 so I have half an hour.

"You know," Ryan says " there is still 30 minutes before class starts and I know a great way to kill time."

I raise my eye brows at him.

"What did you have in mind?"

"It goes a little like this...."

Suddenly a pair of lips were on mine. I respond almost immedialy rapping my arms around his neck. He places one hand to cup my cheek and the other on my waist. We move our lips together never letting each other go. Unfortionatly we have to breathe. Stupid human weakness. We rest our foreheads together. I can't get this goofy look on my face, I just can't help it. Looking at Ryan I can tell he feels the same way.

He leans again for round two but we were rudely interrupted by some guy. We look over to see the school's quarterback Grayson Carter. He was on the ground clutching his head with his hand.

"Oh my god is he okay?" I ask Ryan.

"I don't really care...." Ryan says leaning in again but before he cold make a move I get out of his car and start walking towards Grayson. I hardly even know the kid but he really looks hurt so I just want to make sure he's alright. I hear Ryan saying a few curse words as I walk towards Grayson. Why is he getting so mad. It's not like I'm going to make out with him. Goodness boy you need to chill. I kneel down in front of Grayson and ask,

"Hey are you okay? What happened?"

His face goes a pinkish color when I start talking and he reply's " You saw that?"

I laugh at his impression and say "No I only saw you groaning in pain. But seriously are you alright?"

"Ya I'm fine. Hope I didn't embarrass myself too bad in front of you."

I giggle as I help him get up. He's a lot taller up close than I expected and I'm not exactly that short being 5'6. He's at least 6'3. He has light brown hair bright blue eyes. Wow I never noticed how good looking he is.

Riley you have a boyfriend.

Stupid teenage hormones.

Suddenly his phone starts buzzing like crazy.

"Sorry have to go. See ya around Riley." He flashes me a smile before leaving. Weird. I don't think I ever told him my name.
