My Twisted Love Life

Chapter 7: Gossipin'

I woke up at 7. School. Dang it.

It was the first time Riley and I will actually talk at school.

I had almost forgotten about school these past two days since so much happened.

I did my basic morning routine, and got dressed. I went downstairs and ate a chocolate protein bar.

"Hey mom" I said as I hugged her.

"Hey! How'd yesterday go? You never told me about it!"

"Oh, I went to that new pizza place with Riley and his friends"

Please don't ask anything.

"Ohh, are you two dating now?"

I sighed, "I don't know."

I said goodbye, grabbed my bag and started walking while listening to Imagine Dragons.

I ran to my locker and unpacked. As I shut my locker door, There was Riley's face behind it. "Hey." His smile really made a Monday morning have a good vibe.

"Hello sleepy head." I said messing with his hair.

"Aye, watch it!" He tried to swoosh his hair back to its perfect position.

I laughed, "Here," I opened my locker where I had a small mirror on the inside.

I suddenly noticed tons of people glaring at us. It was kind of an odd feeling. Oh right, I was speaking to Riley Harrison; The cutest, most popular guy in the whole school. "I have to get to class okay?"

"Goodie Goodie much?" he raised his eyebrow.

"Don't call me that!" I said punching his shoulder.

"We still have 10 minutes Tay." he said obviously wanting me to keep talking to him.

"Well... sometimes I like to be early." I confessed.

The real reason I did that was becuase I didn't have many poeple to talk to before class. The faster I got there, the better. Plus, Jewl's first class is band, which is a long walk from the main building.

"Fine, I'll stick around."

"Yay!" he said like a little kid.

"How many classes do we have together?" I asked. I actually didn't really think about it. I always thought I wasn't worthy enough to talk to him.

"Hmm...Geometry, Chemistry, Reading, and History. So four out of eight! Pretty much half the day!"

How had I not noticed we had that many classes? "Oh, awesome!"

"Yeah! Well we better get going. Can I have a hug?" He said holding out his arms.

Yes, Duh.

"Sure." I smiled as I walked into his strong arms. He began squeezing me super hard. "Um, Riley....I can't breathe."

I heard giggling. "Aw, look at this cute view!" It was Danny.

Riley finally let go. "If you think suffocating someone to death is cute." I joked.

Danny put his arm around me, "You know you're who everyone's talking about?"

Being talked about is definitely not one of my life goals, especially if it's pure gossip. If people are going to talk about me, I want it to be for a positive reason or accomplishment, which probably won't happen until years from now. "What? Why? Nobody even notices me." I said half annoyed.
