FALLING IN LOVE

RILEY'S POV-

I have always been the girl who everyone leave alone, because of my bad girl reputation, but I like it that way. It's funny everyone would think I have the worst grades in the world, but no one ever tries to know the real me.

I am sweet and smart, I also love having people around me, but no one really wants to be my friend people also say I'm a slut, I am still a virgin I want to lose it at the right time.

I have a bad history because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, I actually don't even like to think about it. I am a cutter, I love showing my skin if you aren't insecure about your body then you should. that's just who I am. My family doesn't abuse me it's just things that get me upset and I don't have no one to talk about it to so I just slit my wrists I like the way it feels.

I was in my thoughts this morning having a bad day when this new guy named Jace knocks me off my feet literally I was pissed which is why I behaved rudely to him, but it was worth it because in 5 minutes we will be hanging out I think I'm in love with this guy, no I will not tell him my feelings, but I'll give him theses hints hoping he will ask me out.

"hey, Riley is it?" it was Jace walking towards me. wow time flies when you are thinking.

"hello, are you sure you are ok from this morning?" he asked.

"um yeah I should be, let's go." I wasn't in a hurry I just never really associate with guys that I actually like. the guys I normally talk to are guys who just want inside of my pants not that i would let them, but I can tell this one is different.

"where are we headed?" he was smiling.

"I was going to tell you, but I'd rather surprise you, by the way you have a sexy smile!" I was trying to be flirty I don't know how this works really, but I'll figure it out.

"thanks you have a sexy face." woah did he really just say that?

I didn't know what to say so I just smirked at him it's hard to compete with.

"sorry if that was too much." he was still smiling, but he was confused.

"oh no, I'm just not used to getting compliments like that" ok I lied.

"well that's going to change." we pulled up to the mall.

We aren't shopping, but if he is not from here then that means he has never seen our mall. I had to show him our best sites so he wouldn't be graduating with a bad memory of Rosewood.

"we are here! let's go!" I yelled excitedly as I dragged myself out of my car.

"you are excited huh." he said

"of course I'm Riley Parks and I'll be your mentor guide for the day!" I'm in an unbelievably good mood right now.

"ok let's go Miss.Riley." he grabbed my hand and we started walking.

We walked around a lot this mall is big so we got hungry after a while so we took the elevator to the food court.

"tell me about yourself Riley." I was flattered he wanted to know about me, but I didnt know what to say.

"well I'm 17 I will be graduating this year like you, um I am an honor roll student and I have this big bad girl reputation so I don't like being popular it is just not a choice for me, but I wont complain." that's a lot.

"wow you are very amusing!" he said

"do you have any friends." he asked me I was paused for a long time.

"well I don't have any now, but I used to have this one best friend her name is Noah Porter, we did everything together, but she was jealous of how much attention I get and she didn't. One day she just got really jealous and went off on me. she slapped me. things got out if control and that was the second time that things have gone wrong for me which gives me my bad girl vibe. I am really sweet once you get to know me, Noah knew that, but no one really ever tries to know me. Now I hate Noah with all of myself. it's hard not to when she started a fight and is spreading rumors." I was happy I could get that out.

"I know Noah I met her today she seemed really sweet." he did not just.

"yeah until she gets jealous of you and snaps, she is a true bitch!"I was angry at this point.

"sorry, I just thought I could tell you what I experienced with her today!" he said frustrated he wasn't smiling anymore.

" no I'm sorry, let's just go. i have to get home" I pretended to look down at my phone like I cared what time it was.

He must have seen my cuts because he was staring at my wrist and his jaw was on the floor. I pulled my wrist under the table and he grabbed my hands and watched my eyes as he said-

"why do you punish your body?'

"it's n nothing" I stuttered.

"no, please tell me" he must have really cared because he was getting tears in his eyes

"I go through a lot and there is no one to talk to." I wanted to burst into tears.

"well no more cutting its not good, you have me I will always be there for you ok." this time he leaned it and hugged me after kissing my forehead.

I just nodded. He was really sweet for this.

"hey it's my turn to take you somewhere ok." he said taking my keys. I just nodded and smiled.

He walked over and opened my door for me.

JACE'S POV-

She was way to pretty for that I wanted to make up for her cuts. I was taking her to a tattoo parlor to get those covered. they were old ones all there was was guilt marks. I think I'm falling for her.

"Here we are!" I said all to happy.

"I'm getting a tattoo!" she sounded excited. good because she didn't have a choice right now.

"yes you are"I was being flirty.

When we got inside we waited 10 minute before someone came to assist us.

"hi my names Marie and I'll be your assistant for today who's getting the tattoo?" she asked dryly.

"both of us." I said I didn't want her to get her tattoo without me. it would be my first and by the looks of it, it would be her first too.

She got tattoos covering her cuts (flower bracelets on both and under it says someone out there cares on both wrist)

My tattoo was on my chest it was a chain necklace that said I care in the middle .

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I think I want him to fall for Riley I want things to go bad for him and Noah but they could still be friends

I think I had it too long this chapter but that's what you guys want right?
