EIGHT || ALL THE LITTLE THINGS

"How was the baseball game?" I ask Will once we arrive home.

"Good. I'm more of a football fan though." Will answers has he turns on the tv and Girl Meets World pops up. "You watch this show?" He asks checking the other channels.

"No, Auggie was watching before we- I mean before I left." I answer. I find Girl Meets World extremely cheesy, but I guess it was pretty cool that they talked about Batman.

"What'd you do today? You got home at the end of the night." Will questions changing the channel to Friends.

"Nothing, really. Just been around the city." I lie. If Will finds out I went out with Collin I would never hear the end of it.

"Why do you have a Stiles bear?" Will asks wiggling his eyebrows and showing off a grin.

"You know?!" I exclaim. "How in the hell did you find out?"

"You see there's this app called snapchat. Collin has one, he put cute videos of you two eating ice cream with Auggie or wearing sunglasses on his story." He answers.

"Well, we are friends and it was our job to play with Auggie." I say sternly.

"Okay, okay. I won't annoy you with this one. I ship it, though." Will says.

"Will! You ship me with everyone. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not going to date any of you! I told you everything, Will, just shut up with all the damn ships! All the ships have sunk before they have even sailed!" I rage. I run up the stairs with my bear and lock myself in my room. I hug the Stiles bear as I watch Teen Wolf. "You're the only person who understands me." I say to it. I hug the bear as I sleep.

"Hey, Grayson...?" I greet him as he comes up to my locker the next school day.

"Hey, Riles. You wanna work on the project at your place?" He asks.

"Yeah, that's fine. How does five sound?"

"That's perfect. It's a date then." He says his half smirk turning into a grin. I could feel a smile forming on my face and my cheeks turning a deep shade of red.

"It's a date." I say turning back to my locker to avoid showing my flustered face.

"Okay, bye." I could see him wave and disappear to the large crowd out of the corner of my wave.

"Are you guys going to work on the project later?" Ryder asks as he walks up to me a few seconds after Grayson departs. I face him a smile still on my face and my cheeks still red with excitement. "Wow there. A little over on the makeup there, Riles." He jokes.

"It's official, later is a real study date between me and Grayson!" I burst with excitement.

"Wow wow wow. That's exciting... I guess." Ryder congratulates me in a drab voice signaling boredom.

"I know right! Ooh maybe we could double date." I suggest ecstatic. My weird crush on Ryder kind of disappeared.

"No can do, Riles. I'm thinking about cutting it with Maya." Ryder says through gritted teeth.

"You are what? But you guys are like perfect together. There is no one more perfect for you than her," I exclaim. "Rethink what you're thinking."

"I don't know. It's just I don't feel anything. On the first few dates, I did feel something. The something was that, I don't like her that way. I like her as a friend." Ryder explains to me, I get it I guess.
