You Can't Fool Me

What a real badass looks like...

I edited the last part of this book so I suggest that you quickly re-read just so you know what has changed! The above picture it of Toby's bike ;)
Enjoy...

"Riley, just put on the goddamn helmet!"

"No!" She replied scrunching her Face up in disgust.

"Fine then, but you're not getting on the bike!"

"Why can't you wear the stupid helmet?"

"Because I've been riding that bike for years, now put on the helmet before I leave without you!"

"Fine!" she whined grabbing the helmet and shoving it on her head. "Where are we going anyway?" She asked.

"Well I was thinking we could go for a ride around the block and then go to Linda's diner?" Riley shrugged.

"Whatever, I'm not fussed."

"Damn Toby! Your Aunty can cook!" Riley said, her mouth full of grilled cheese sandwich.

"Trust me, I know! I come here almost every day." He told her and Riley smirked.

"That's kinda sad, you know." She said and Toby chuckled.

"Well she only ever charges me half price. In fact sometimes she won't let me pay at all!"

"How come?"

"Because I work for her husband." Toby said in a rush. It wasn't a lie, he was just withholding information, a lot of information. Fortunately Riley didn't seem to pick up on his slip-up.

"You work?"

"Yeah, at Frankie's car repair store and I sometimes help out here." Riley grunted in reply, turning away to look at her phone. Toby sighed inwardly, when will she give up this badass facade?

"Oh shit!" She cussed leaping out of her seat, Toby almost had a heart attack!
"What?!" He questioned and she answered almost immediately.

"We have 3 fucking minutes to get to school, that's what!" Toby burst out laughing. He tried to say something but it came out like this:

"You (ha-ha) crazy (ha-ha) late (ha-ha) call (ha-ha) yourself (ha-ha) badass (ha-ha!)"

"I'm sorry what?" Riley asked and Toby tried again.

"You go crazy about being late-" he stopped to compose himself "yet you still call yourself a badass?" Riley's cheeks reddened.

"Just shut up and take me to school!"

They arrived at school with seconds to spare. Riley breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk into her English class.
"You still coming mine tomorrow?" He asked and she shrugged, her back still to him.

"I already told you, I don't know where you live!"

"And I already told you, I'll text you!"

Then he turned on his heel and walked to his next class.

As he walked in all heads turned his way,
"Is there a reason for your being late, Mr Anderson?"

"No." Toby answered.

"Right, well I suggest you take notice of the school bell in the future."

"Well I suggest you take notice of your balls because they might not be there when you wake up." He muttered, walking away. A few people close enough to hear him sniggered.

Toby took out his phone. He typed in his password and did something he'd been meaning to do for a while now, he took his Instagram account off private...

Okay... Maybe you're wondering why is that a big deal? Well, Toby had always kept his account on private so no one would find out what he was really like but now he figured that since the entire school knew that he owned our motorbike it wouldn't hurt for them to know a little more about him.

Just as he thought it would, by the end of last period, Toby's follower count had gone up from 996 to 1235 and as he left the school grounds he noticed lots of hushed conversations that stopped when he walked by. Toby smirked, he'd show them what a real badass looks like...
