R.I.L.E.Y

"Nooooooooooo!" I scream running, running, running someplace I don't know where. "Maya help me, somebody help me!" I'm sobbing, thinking of going insane. "Help me!"

--------------------

I had another bad dream last night, in the middle of the night I sometimes get mini panic attacks. My parents hear me scream and cry they try to calm me down, or wake me up and then calm me down, the thing is it usually takes a few hours.

"Honey!" Maya yells, swiftly running up to me. "Hi, peaches!" I grin, this may sound clešay but I'm so lucky to have her as my bestfriend.

She snaps me out of reality by saying, "So, you never told me how your night with Lucas was." She was smirking and staring at me really harshly, then I told her what happened. "We went over some history notes, he took me to Zay's dads huge gym thing and he taught me how to play basketball and baseball." I finish, I said that all in one heaping, I shouldn't have because I'm now out of breath. Maya laughs at that, and drags me out of the subway.

--------------

"Hey Riley!" I hear, and sharply slash my head to the sound a boys words. "Hi!" I wave, he slowly jogs up to me. "You have a date tonight." He states, I'm about to question what he means, but he starts to speak again. "I figured out that everyday from 7:30 to 8:00 Charlie goes out to the football field to throw the ball around and think, this time he will be thinking with you."

I'm speechless, not because I'm nervous on what he's saying, but also because of the fact he spoke really quick and I still need to process it all. He starts speaking again. "I assume you don't know how to play football, it's not his main sports I didn't think to teach you, but I can after school if you want." Lucas speaks, with a slight hint of hope in his voice.

I surprisingly do know how to play football, I tell him and he laughs and kinda blushes. I assume it's because he was wrong. The kind boy offers to practice anyway, but I refuse and meet Maya at first period.

-------------

I throw on my New York Giants jersey and a little makeup, I know it's not really a date, but it is a "Charlie occasion."

I spin around and meet my gaze with Maya's, "you look great honey." She states and smiles widely. "Now you go have fun with Charlie, and remember to text me if you run out of cool things to say." I laugh and walk out my window 'you can do this Riley.' I tell myself as I make my way to the school field.

--------------

He's running around by himself angelically, smiling at his own presence. Snap out of it Riley! I tell myself, I jog over to the boy with flowey brown hair. "Hi Charlie!" I say, way to enthusiastically. "Hi....Riley?" I laugh, he barely knows me. "So you like football?" I reply, as cooly as I can. He smirks and looks at me with his beautiful devilish eyes that make my heart melt. "Yea, and you?" He questions carefully. "I play a little." I say taking the ball and running to the end zone.

Charlie chases after me gracefully, my god that boy. He grabs me softly around the waist and I laugh as he tickles the ball out of my hands. He runs to the other end zone and screams "TOUCHDOWN!" I run over to him "no fare." I begin "you tickled me!" He laughs and we keep going like that all night.

After a while we lose track of the score and just have fun, I got a few texts from Lucas asking how things were going, but I completely ignored them. The thing about Lucas is that he's a good guy, and everyone thinks he's a good guy, but he doesn't.

Charlie and I walk around the field and talk after 1 hour of playing, soon I tell him that it's almost past my curfew, and I should go. "Goodnight Riley." He says gleefully. "Goodnight." I say walking away slowly, things seem good. Like he knows me. I smile to myself just thinking about it as I walk into my apartment.

------------

I wake up to see someone sitting at my bay window, since I just woke up he or she is a blur so I ask "who is it?" I soon regain my vision and realize it's Lucas. "Hi, why are you hear so early?" He laughs and says "Riley, it's 12:00." I look over to my phone and find out he's right, it's 12:01 in the morning. "Oh, never mind." I give him a genuine smile, Lucas has become a good friend of mine over the last 2 weeks. And I'm glad for that.

"So what am I learning this Saturday?" He asked, I had gotten my breakfast and I was now ready for the day and Lucas was still here. "Oh I have some ideas." I say, trying my best to pull off a smirk. He laughs at that and asks again. "What am I learning this Saturday?" I tell him to go to the store and buy 7 buckets of paint, all different colors. He obeys me and leaves. I wait patiently. Let's do this thing.
