The Pain - Rucas

Chapter 5: Those moments

RILEYS POV

Have you ever felt like the whole earth had stopped? Or those times you wished you lasted a life time?

I know this may sound crazy but I experienced that right now and I never wanted it to end. It was like those sick days where you just watched Netflix all day and eat. Lucas and Riley. Not just the back of my notebook. Something more. Something special or different you could say. Maybe extraordinary. Yes extraordinary! Today is the beginning of something new. And I shall never see a dark cloud in my head again. Life is good.

"Well I should be getting home. I hope we can do this again." Lucas says after our silence.

"Yeah see you at school." I say

I walk him to the door and we both say our goodbyes. Ahh school. I am actually excited for! My new life starts here. As people say "new year, new me."

I go upstairs and take a shower. After I get out I wrap up my hair with a towel. I go to my draws and get out some PINK pajamas. Then I get some underwear and I don't even bother to gets bra because who sleeps with one on. Not me, that for sure. Anyway, after that I get dressed and hop in bed. I check my phone and check my social medias. Nothing really interesting. Wait, I forgot to brush my teeth. I do all of the teeth things. After I rinse my mouth I look up in he mirror and notice something. I see myself, but not just that sad, tired, depressed girl. I saw this happy, smiley Riley that I missed.

Finally I get in bed and turn the lights off and just think. Can you believe that one day could change your whole life?

+next day+

I get up and do my usual routine.

Brush my teeth
Get dressed
Eat cereal
Pickup the bowl of cereal I dropped
Run out the door
Hop on the subway

I felt very confident walking into school today. Smiling as if I just won and award. I got to my locker and hear a familiar voice.

"Hey Riley." Farkle says. He kind of startled me at first but then I return with saying "oh hey, what's up." "Not much, you seem different is everything okay?"he replies confused. " why wouldn't I be okay? I mean I'm smiley Riley!" I say smiling. "Never mind, we should get to class."

We walk to history class and my heart shatters into a million pieces. He's with her. Why?!? How?!???! What is life trying to do to me?!?

"What!" I shout out loud.
Oh no! What did I just say. Great now everyone is starting at me.

"Sorry. I just remembered I have a essay do today." I lie. I quickly take my seat and try to focus. Lucas is flirting with Maya. Who could he. She's laughing back at him. They are passing notes.

"Riley!" My dad exclaims

"Yeah" I state.

"What do you think about great disaster."

"Global warming!"

Why did I say that. Now I look crazy.

"Yeah okay." He says scared and sarcastically.

History goes through like a blur. The other classes just make it worse. Finally a period that I like.
"Hey Riley. You will never believe what Lucas just asked me?" Maya tells me

"What?" I say

"He asked me out"

What?!? That jerk did what. Ughh! Why can't u marry a bag of chips. Boys are overrated right. I give up with life.

"Congrats" I say with say with a fake smile.

I feel really dizzy. What's happening. I feel really tired. I collapsed. I hear Maya saying my name over and over .

I wake up in the nurses office with an ice pack on my head. "Umm can I go back to class." Is the first thing that pops out of my head. "Oh honey, your mother is coming to pick up" the nurse says. Sure enough my mom, Topanaga, picks me up. It is quiet the whole car ride.

I get home and run up to my room thinking about what the nurse said. Ahhh those eyes that you could get lost in. And his blue shirts he wears. I wish he could be mine but Maya. I have to think of others peoples happiness before my own. That's right! No Lucas, just my best friend. I can't be selfish. Some how i will have to get him, but how.

A/n: omg I actually updated! Sorry just school is been crazy. It's pretty short I know but anyway enjoy. Please comment/vote for if I should continue. Love you all bye ✌🏻️
