I Guess I'm Fallin' For You {A Love Triangle & Rydellington Fanfic}

Chapter 4

Piper's P.O.V.

I'm walking towards the Coca Cola Factory & see Riker. He waves to me & smiles. Let's see, I guess he is KINDA cute... NO! Stop, Piper! No falling in love! You don't even know him anyways!

Riker: Hi, Piper!

Me: *Smiles* Hi, Riker!

He just stares at me.

Me: Uhh.. So do you have the book?

Riker: *Snaps Outta Moment* Oh, yeah, sorry, here! *Hands Book Over*

Me: Yay! Thanks! *Puts It In Backpack* So, what are we doing today?

Riker: Well, I thought we could explore the aquarium & the Coca Cola Factory. If you'd like, that is..

Me: Sure! Where's the rest of band, anyways?

Riker: Oh, they went to the movies. Why?

Me: Uh.. No reason *Smiles*

Riker: Well, okay. *In An Army Captain's Voice* Shall we march onward?

Me: *Army Soldier's Voice* Sir, yes, sir!

We both laugh & walk toward the ticket stand.

I grab my backpack to grab my wallet, when a hand stops me.

Riker: It's okay, I'll pay. *Smiles*

Me: *Looks At Him Worriedly* You sure? I can pay for myself if it's too much!

Riker: Naw, it's okay.

Me: Well, okay, if you say so.

Ticket Person: We have a discount for couples for Christmas week! 30% off!

We blush at each other.

Me: Uh.. We're not really a couple...

Ticket Person: Oh, I'm sorry! I thought.. Nevermind! Umm, wait.... Okay, you guys can go in!

Me & Riker: Thank you!

We walk in & I gasp. I've been here before, but it's BEAUTIFUL with Christmas decorations!

Riker: *Gasps* Beautiful, right?

Me: & it smells sweet!

He laughs, & I raise my eyebrows at him.

Me: But, it does, doesn't it!?

Riker: Totally!

Me: *Laughs* So, where are we going now? m

Riker: Uhh...

I punch him lightly in the shoulder. Then I see a crowd leading to a movie.

Me: Oooo!

I grab his arm & drag him towards the crowd.

Riker: Woah, woah, woah! I'm coming!

I shake my head & laugh.

Riker: Shall we?

Me: *Laughs* I guess we shall!

We go in & look for a seat.

Me: *Mutters* Oh, jeez it's cold... Shoulda brought my jumper..

Riker: *Confused* What's a jumper?

Me: *Raises Eyebrows* You're wearing one right now..

Riker: What?

I tug on his jumper.

Riker: OH! My hoodie! Why do you call it a "jumper"?

Me: Why DON'T you?

Riker: Uhh...

I laugh at his confused look.

Riker: So, Piper... I noticed you have an Aussie accent & speak like an Aussie. *Pauses To Mock Her* Hello I'm Piper & I call hoodies "JUMPERS"! *Fakes A Surprised Look*

I laugh & punch his shoulder... This time harder than before...

Riker: Ouch!

I smirk & wink at him.

Riker: ANYWAYS, did you like just move to the U.S.?

Me: No, actually my parents are divorced--

Riker: I'm sorry..

Me: It's okay, I'm used to it. Anyways, my parents are divorced & my mother lives in the U.S. & my father lives in Australia. I was born in the U.S. & stayed here for 2 years. Then I moved in with my father for 3 years. So during my 3 years there, I learned to talk. & with the Aussie way, but I LIVE with my mother, but visit my father once a year for 2 months.

Riker: That makes sense!

Me: Now if you'll excuse me, all this talking has made me thirsty. I'm gonna go get a drink outside. Be right back.

I leave & go outside. I'm about to walk back when I see Lola, Alyssa, & Ava. I didn't tell them about Riker.. I go slowly to the movie entrance. Yes.. Almost there..

????: Piper!?

I turn around & face my friends...
