FAR FROM REALITY: A Riker Lynch Fan Fiction

CHAPTER 3

CHAPTER 3:

(Riker's POV)

Rydel was shopping with me. She talked on and on, but I didn't hear most of what she was saying. She said something about a guy she saw, but I didn't pay attention. I was too busy thinking about that girl. The girl who had run into me and simply left. I know we barely spoke, but I wanted to know her. I was drawn to her. But I know I will never see her again. Rydel starts walking in front of me and stopped, but I continued walking. I ran right into her, then snapped back to reality.

"You seem out of it. Are you okay Rik?" she said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little distracted." I told her. But she gave me an almost evil smirk.

"You're thinking about that girl, aren't you? The one that ran into you. It was SO obvious that you liked her!" She practically screamed in the middle of the mall.

"Shh!" I said. But she was already dragging me into Forever 21 to get my "opinion" on outfits.

(Skyler's POV)

I ran into Hollister, and my boss was standing at the entrance giving me the evil eye.

"YOU'RE LATE!" he screamed. I flinched at hearing how angry he was.

"I'm SO sorry! I forgot to set my alarm clock! I wont be late again! I promise!" I spit out those words as fast as I could.

"You BETTER not be late AGAIN!" he half screamed.

I hurried to the counter to start my shift. My boss TERRIFIES me! He is a very large, very muscular man in his 30s. He has a very big temper, and lashes out even in the smallest situations. Once, when Brittany, one my fellow workers, put the wrong shirts on the wrong rack, and he lashed out so harshly, that she ran out of the store crying!

"I can take it from here." I said to Jacob, one of the interns who had taken my spot at the counter.

He walked away, and I took my shift. I watched him as he dreamily walked away. I have a HUGE crush on Jacob. He is so hot! He has dark brown hair with amberish highlights. He is only a few inches taller than me. He has an eight-pack and is so muscular. The only problem is that he is 17. That's three years younger than me. It would technically be illegal for us to date until he is 18. But he never noticed me, so I guess that won't be a problem.

(Riker's POV)

After two hours of watching Rydel strut around in outfits and asking me what I think, even though she decides she doesn't like it anymore, I was done. She had only bought three tops, a dress, and a pair of sandals. I decided we were going home.

"Delly, can we go now?" I whined in the most dramatic way I could.

"B-but, I wanna go to one m-"

"NO!" I cut her off.

 

"But Ri-"

"NO!" I said again. This time stomping my feet like a two-year-old.

"Fineee" she said slowly.

I skip towards the exit of the mall. When I turn around, Rydel rolled her eyes and walked behind me. We got to the car and I decided I was driving. I turned on the radio, and Loud came on. As we drove home, Delly and I sang, more like screamed, the lyrics with the windows down. I was SO much fun!

We walked in the house and I yelled, "RIKER IS HERE!" making my presence known. Rydel followed in my footsteps and screamed, "RYDEL IS HERE TOO!"

I went upstairs to my room and Rydel went to hers. I walked into Rocky and my room and found rocky deep in thought on his phone, so I decided to have some fun. I crawled on the floor and snuck up behind Rocky.

"AAAHHH!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Rocky screamed and fell to the ground dropping his phone.

"WHAT THE HELL!!!" He screamed at me as I laughed hysterically.

(Skyler's POV)

It's almost 5pm and my shift is almost over. It has been a pretty slow day. I've only seen about 20 people come through the store, and only about 13 of them bought anything. My shift ends, and Brittany, my coworker, comes to work at the counter. I leave, and head home. I walk through the door, and Liz screams my name in her cute 5-year-old voice. I kneel down and hold my arms out as she runs towards me. I give her a big hug, then pick her up and bring her to my room. My dad was taking a nap in his room, so it was just Liz and I, as usual. I painted her nails and mine. It was about 8, so she was half asleep. I put her to bed in her room, and headed down to the kitchen. I grabbed a sandwich and went up to my room. I laid in my bed and looked through twitter until I fell asleep.

(next day)

I woke up and got out of bed. I walked down the stairs in a daze. I made a bowl of cereal and sat down to eat my breakfast. I turned on my phone and it said it was 11am. It was Saturday, so I don't have anything to do today.

WAIT, WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

My phone says it is Friday!!! That cant be right! Today is Saturday! Right?

OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!

Today is Friday! I have work today! My shift started an hour ago! I have NEVER been this late! I ran as fast as I could to my room, nearly spilling my cereal. Everyone was asleep, but me. I threw on some random clothes. I didn't bother to put on makeup. I ran into my car. As I drove, I brushed my hair. I parked my car in the parking lot of the mall, and ran to Hollister. As I ran to the entrance, I could feel a tear roll down my cheek. I could see my boss standing at the entrance staring at me as I ran to him. He looked more pissed than I have EVER seen him!!! And that's saying something! As I approached him, I began to explain.

"I thought it was Saturday, and I-" "YOU ARE LATE AGAIN!!! YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER BE LATE AGAIN!!! YOU LIED!!!" He cut me off and screamed at the top of his lungs.

I was terrified. My boss's face was red. I could feel the tears pouring down my face. I began to apologize.

"I'm so-"

And that's when it happened...
