hatred ➳ rucas [ON HOLD]

Chapter 9

R. I. L. E. Y.

It's Friday and tonights the party. I'm pretty sure it starts at 10 so i have to sneak out. The weeks been okay and i can feel myself starting to actually like Lucas. Snap out of it Riley. I know I'm not going to get attached though.

The bell just rang and it's time for my last class. I walk alone down the halls were everyone is rushing but I don't bother since it's history, and my dad's soft on me.

I hold my books against my chest and think of all the worries about the party. My parents are gonna be pissed if they find out i snuck out.

I look at the floor as i walk, forgetting about everything else. I walk out of the way for people but then i feel the cold floor against my legs.

I look up, flustered of what had just happened. My books are scattered everywhere and i see someone's hand near me for me to hold on to.

I don't look at the person, i just take their hand and brush my self off. He picks up my books and blush. But I don't know why.

"Uh..... I'm sorry about that, im such a klutz." I say to him, while putting a piece of hair behind my ear. He smiles, "it's fine. I'm Charlie by the way. I'm in your english class." He states. He has brown hair and is taller than me.

I feel the rush of embarrassment all over me. I've never even met this guy or seen him but he knows me? I feel like such a jerk.

"Oh right, sorry. It must of slipped my mind." I lie, mentally slapping myself. "It's okay. Hey, are you going to the party tonight?" Charlie asks. I nod.

"Well i hope to see you there, Riles." He says and touches my shoulder while running to his class. How does he know my nickname? Only Maya calls me Riles. I blush at the feeling of my hand in his and him touching my shoulder. I smile to myself.

I walk in to History, my dad isn't here yet. Score, I think.

I sit down where I usually sit and see Maya leaning on Farkle's desk while talking to him. Lucas and Zay are talking.

Zay notices me and nods his head towards me to direct Lucas to look at me. Some how, I'm still thinking about that Charlie guy.

"Hey babe." Lucas says. I fake smile. I don't like being called babe by Lucas. "Hey. " is all i manage to say.

"Im still picking you up tonight, right?" He asks. I nod. Not knowing what to say. I turn around and my dad appears. I'm still slightly mad at him but he is my dad so i have to forgive him sometime...

"Ok we will be learning about the Greek Gods. I apologise for my late appearance." He goes on about the greek gods and some other stuff I'm not listening to. I always seem to get the work done even though I'm never listening. So there is a good thing about being the teacher's daughter.

"I will give you an assignment where you have to write all you know about one specific god. Pretty easy so i expect it due on Monday." Every one groans. I'll get this done in like 30 minutes, I'm sure of it.

"Ok let me read out who you are going to do." He calls out some other names until i heard mine
.......
"Zay: Zeus."
"Maya: Aphrodite"
"Lucas: Ares"
"Farkle: Poseidon"

"And Riley.....: Hades" to be honest i really didn't care who i got.
The bell rings, dismissing class. I have to go to the party. I'm gonna regret this.

I decide to walk home with Farkle and Smackle today, since they asked me too. I don't usually third wheel them so it's quite different.

We walk in silence sometimes, and the other times we're gasping for air because of so much laughter. I like it here, with them. With friends.
