(Rucas) our little secret ✅

Chapter 5

Riley POV

"So are you excited for the game next Friday?" My friend Jessica asked me as we were walking the halls heading to our next class. "Uh yeah, I guess." I said with a shrug. "You guess?" Jess said raising her eyebrow. "You're always excited." she said. I sighed, "Well I guess not just for this one." She was about to say something else until the bell rang. "We better head to class." Jess said. I groaned annoyed but agreed. We walked into drama class and I took my usual seat. a few minutes later Lucas walked in. (Of course.) he took the seat next to me, Blah blah blah same old routine. Then our teacher said. "Ok class we will be doing a project." The whole class groaned. But the teacher continued. "The project is Romeo and Juliet." Once again the whole class including me groaned annoyed. "Ok the people who will be playing Romeo and Juliet are... Lucas friar and Riley Matthews." My head literally shot up in shock. "WHAT!" Me and Lucas yelled at the same time. "Yes I'm sorry but the decision is final the teacher said. you will both practice with Scripts at home tonight."

The bell rang meaning class was over. I got up, picked up my bag and walked out of class."so your house or mine?" Lucas's voice said from behind me. I turned around and saw Lucas leaning against the lockers. "Uh your house." I stutter nervously. Lucas walks up to me, I start backing away but the more I back away the closer he gets. I hit the lockers. He puts his lips to my ear and whispers, "here's my address." He gives me a pice of paper with his address on it. And walks away. I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding in. All I know is, this game he's playing with me I'm losing and he's, winning.

<<<At Lucas's house>>>

<<<In his room>>>

"Ok so where should we start?" Lucas asked me while he was siting on his computer chair, taking a sip of his soda. "Uh well we could start with the first scene." I said shrugging. "Ok" he said, getting up from his chair.

(We practiced the first scene)

"Ok well I guess I'll see you tomorrow at school." I said getting up from his bed, getting my bag and heading towards his door. He suddenly grabbed my arm gently stopping me from going any further. "Wait" he said softly. I looked at him wondering what he was doing, then before I knew it he grabbed me and hugged me. I was in shock by his sudden action. But then I hugged back enjoying his embrace. We let go after a minute. "W-why did you hug me?" I asked still shocked by what just happened. "I just thought you just needed a reminder that someone cares and is here for you." He said softly. I was shocked by what he said. How did he know I think no one loves me, or cares for me? I thought. I didn't know how to respond to what he said, I think he knew I didn't know how to respond cause he just pulled me in And hugged me again.

We pulled away, I waved goodbye to him and went home. That night I couldn't sleep at all, I just kept wondering how did he know I don't think no one cares or loves me? Everyday of my life people just love me or hang out with me because I'm popular, a cheerleader, was voted most prettiest girl In school, and I'm kinda rich. Sometimes I wonder if my boyfriend loves me for me or because of all the things I listed. I turned off my light and went to bed thinking about one thing, dose anyone love me for me or for my labels.
