Lucas takes Riley over to some of the batting cages, he grabs a bat, a ball, and a mitt. She gives him a warm smile, as she walks around the beautifully empty building, tracing her fingers over every object she comes apron. "So Riley!" Lucas yells from the batting cage he was in, signaling for her to come over. "You must really like Gardner." He says, making her blush as over. "Well I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't." She replies. Lucas had been fascinated in this girl, who seemed like she would do anything for anyone. "Let's begin."

"First I'll show you how to bat properly." He says, handing me a long metal object that could easily kill a girl like me with one simple swing. 

Lucas pulls back his arm taking the bat with him in both hands, he softly bends his knees and then swings through, having the bat seem as if it's slicing his neck.

He hands me the bat. "Now you try." I lightly take the bat from him, before I helplessly stare into his emerald green eyes. He could sense my fear, I didn't want to hit myself. "You will be fine." He warns, I nod my head as I set up my bat like he did.

I swing. The bat goes flying, so I naturally scream and run to find cover, but of course bump into someone.

"I'm sorry." I say standing up slowly. "Don't worry sugar." I look up, it's Zay. "Hey Zay!" Lucas yells to him, as he walks over to us. "Now who's this fine piece of cake?" Zay asks, I let out a light giggle. "This is Riley, you know her, she goes to our school. I made the deal with her." Zay shakes his head and laughs, I guess Lucas told Zay about our deal.

"Right, right, how's it going to Matthews?" Zay questions me. "Good." I say, he waves then runs over to some kid a distance away. I assume he teaches here.

"Sorry about Zay." Lucas starts, I wave him off. "It's fine." I say, "He seems.... nice." Lucas laughs and grabs the bat. "Let me help this time."

"I don't think I should bat, how about throwing or whatever." I say nerves building up, I know if I swing again something bad will happen. "You'll be fine." Lucas insists. "Pinkie swear." I say looking him in the eye and putting out my pinkie finger. Lucas laughs and says, "Pinkie swear."

Lucas lightly brushes his hand against Riley's soft arm trying to keep her calm, he did not want her to throw the bat again and hurt someone. His arms are wrapped around Riley's delicate body, as if they belonged there. "Here, now pull back and swing." Lucas says softly, Riley does as he says. Perfect swing Lucas thinks as he goes to pick up the bat so Riley could try again and again.

"Now time for basketball." Lucas says leading Riley to the back of the building. "Oh I'm not good at this, I played when I was little and never made a single shot." Riley replies nervously.

They start with dribbling, Lucas explains everything about everything. They share some laughs on stories Riley told him from when she played as a kid. Then Lucas decided to play a one-on-one game with Riley.

"She dribbles up the court, she shoots and.." Lucas starts he quickly picks Riley up so she could reach the told of the net. "- She score! Slam dunk! The crowd goes wild!" Lucas screams lightly setting Riley down and making noises with his hands and mouth. Riley laughs like crazy as she runs to hug him. "Thank you." She mouths, it was getting dark, she would have to go home soon. "Your welcome." Lucas says sweetly, leading her back to the front where his car was.

He checks his watch 12:30, Riley had told him her cerfue was 1:30 so he had plenty of time. They listen to some songs by Beyoncé on the way back, as Riley slowly dozed off to sleep.

Lucas pulls up at the Matthews apartment, he carries Riley carefully to there front door, then he knocks. Mrs. Matthews open as Lucas says, "She fell asleep in the car, I didn't want to wake her." Mrs. Matthews nods and mouths "Thank you." Then she asks him to set her down on her bed.

Lucas does so, softly placing the delicate girl with chocolate brown hair eyes down on her bed. "Goodnight Riley." He says while waking out her bay window into the crystal night.
