Chapter 2

"Peaches, I'll be home around 7." Riley kissed her on the cheek, "I have my Athletics Manager thing, and love you."

"I'll be in your room." Riley sauntered down the athletics hall staring at her planner, writing down the homework she needed to do tonight.

"OW!" She almost hit the tile floor, if it weren't for a pair of strong hands catching her.

"You okay?" The brunette nodded and found her way back to her feet.

"Thank you, sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." Lucas' eyes brightened realizing who he caught. She cringed realizing who it was that caught her, gross.

"Oh no big deal, I just I felt," he turned around and motioned behind him reenacting the scene, "I felt a slam I was just glad," the quarterback cut himself off realizing he was talking to himself. Riley was gone. "That's new." Usually girls couldn't get enough of him, which only intrigued him more.

Riley printed off the schedules for the football season, one copy for each player and a few extras for good measure. Shouldn't they have already had these? She counted 3 times to ensure that all the jerseys, were accounted for and took down messages that were left on the Athletic Department machine. She glanced at the clock, "practice should be ending in 10 minutes. Plenty of time to get to the field." The brown eyed girl hung the lanyard of keys around her neck and after locking the coach's office, hastily moved towards the stadium. "COACH RUTHERFORD!" A downside of being invisible was that no matter how many times you call someone's name, they don't hear you. "COACH RUTHERFORD!" He kept walking the sidelines.

"COACH!" The brunette glanced to her left and saw someone pointing at her, but she couldn't tell who, not with the helmet on.

"Yes Riley?"

"Here are the schedules you asked for, messages from the machine and all the jerseys were accounted for 3 times." The brown eyed girl passed him all of the information and smiled. "Anything else?"

"Oh, food for tomorrow's game?"

"Subway sandwiches, I'm picking it up during my off period and will set it up in the film room. It'll be ready by 5." Coach Rutherford walked away extremely impressed, Lucas kept making glances towards her, and she turned on her heels when the sound of an extremely unfriendly voice rang in her ears.

"Well, well, well. What have we here ladies?" Missy, tall, brunette, blue eyes and every girls dream a cheerleader.

"I'm a person, there are actual human beings at this school with emotions, and a brain. Unlike you." If it wouldn't make me more of an outcast I'd high 5 myself.

Missy scoffed, "why are you even out here?"

"I'm the Athletics Manager. But I was just leaving."

"Everything okay ladies?" Josh stood beside his sister and caused the cheerleaders to blush, slowly retreating back to the rest of the team. "You alright sis?"

Riley nodded, "thanks." She got on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek, "definitely take a shower when you get a chance." Her hair blew in the wind as she walked back towards the school. A pair of green eyes following her a good portion of the way.

Peaches, where are you?

I'm gathering up my stuff now and I'll be home in 15 minutes.

Riley found herself jogging outside. I was about to say, your parents won't let us eat without you and I'm starved.

I'm on my way. Swear, love you bye.
