I Promise (A Connor McDonough Fan Fiction)

 “May I know the reason as to why you're all so Smiley Miley today?” Ashley asked from in front of me. She's seated across me during our Chemistry class.

“Do you really have to ask that?” My lab partner, namely Riley Thomas McDonough, replied to her while he was transferring some chemicals from one flask to another. “Of course she's smiling because my brother's texting her.”

I'll see you later at Music, alright? And I have a surprise for you. ;) xx

Today was a Friday and obviously, we're at Chemistry class; Riley's my lab partner, and Ashley and her lab partner were seated across from us. Ashley already got over her fangirl-ing moments the day after I introduced her to Riley and now they're good friends. Her and her best friend, Jordin, sits with us during lunch sometimes.

I blushed furiously as Ashley and Riley continued to tease me when they were supposed to finish our lab project. I just decided to ignore them and concentrate on my work after replying to Connor. We wouldn't want to leave him hanging, right?

Alright! Can't wait! See ya! ;) xx

I kept my phone and then Riley and I finished our work. We were able to pass it just as the bell rang, signaling that it was already lunch time. We cleaned our work tables then placed our books and other things in our bags and headed out the room.

“Hey guys. I'm sorry but I wouldn't be able to go to lunch with you. I gotta help Jordin with her work.” Ashley smiles apologetically at us as we reached our lockers. So as you all know, my locker is 315 and Ashley's locker is 317. Guess who owns locker 316? Yup, the one and only Riley.

If you're probably wondering why Jordin always needs help with something, it's because she's working on a college scholarship and in order for her to obtain full scholarship, she has to help the faculty or admin with fixing papers or arranging the books at the library. And, Ashley being the good friend that she is, decides to help her best friend.

“It's alright. We'll see you later!” Riley said as he hugged her and I did the same.

Riley and I walked towards the cafeteria and then ordered our food. When I was about to pay my food, the lunch lady said, “No need to pay, sweetie. Your lunch has already been paid for.”

“What?” I asked confused. Who would pay for my food? My parents doesn't even have time to visit me here in school because when they're off work, they would be with Cali, but I am not complaining.

“The young man right there paid for it.” I traced where she was pointing at and I saw someone seated at our table, his back facing us. After a bit of analyzing who the familiar mystery person is, it finally clicked. It's my favorite blonde boy in the whole world.

“And he didn't even bother to pay for my lunch.” Riley muttered, after he realized who the person was, and I giggled as we walked towards our table after saying thank you to the lunch lady. Connor was busy with his phone so he probably didn't sense us come behind him.
