Love or Friendship

Chapter 15

[Riley's POV]

"Hey."

I looked up to see who was it.

"Ohh. Hey."

"Seems like you're not in the mood."

She sat down beside me and I took a deep breath.

"You need anything?"

"Wanna eat lunch?"

"Nah. I'm full."

"Oh really?"

She stood up and fiercely grabbed my hand.

"I said I'm not hungry."

"You didn't eat during our break and now you won't eat lunch?! That's not acceptable for me!"

"Oh come on Tiara."

While we were walking down the hallway, I heard voices murmuring around us.

"I can't believe they're together."

"I really thought Riley would end up with Di."

"Me too."

"I still like Di better with Riley."

"It's really sad Di and Riley didn't end up together. I wonder why.."

Tiara stopped walking and let me go. I held her shoulder.

"Hey."

She faced me and said,

"I guess everyone wants you to be with Di ha? Well, you guys seriously do look perfect together. Perfect Couple."

I held her shoulders and sighed.

"Ignore whatever they say. They don't know anything, okay?"

She smiled a bit and gently nodded.

"Come on. Let's eat lunch in the cafeteria."

"Okay."

I showed her a sweet smile, grabbed her hand and started to walk to the cafeteria.

*blaaaah* *blaaaah* *blaaaah*

Class is so boring. I'm getting sleepy. I looked around the room and saw Tiara looking at me. She smiled a bit. I smiled back.

"Okay. Class dismiss."

I got up and fixed my things.

"Riley."

I looked at my side and saw Tiara standing there and ready to go.

"Let's go?"

She nodded and smiled. We went out our classroom and started to walk.

"Rileeeey!!"

"Hey wait for us!!!"

We both stopped from walking and looked around to see who called my name. I saw Connor and Toby running towards us.

"You guys need anything?"

The both of them were not paying attention to me. They were looking at Tiara. Connor raised his eyebrow while Toby gave a serious look.

"So you're with her... AGAIN." - Connor

"Tss." - Toby

"So what do you guys need?"

"Well... We have this traditional thing we always do after dismissal time. GOING HOME TO-GE-THER!" - Connor

"Yeah. You didn't came home with us the past few days. School's gonna end tomorrow." - Toby
