Riley Grace
Ow... Why does everything hurt?
I stand up and I groan walking to my full length mirror seeing bruises running up my arms and a black eye. I slowly lift up my shirt seeing a few bruises on my stomach and sides. I cringe at the sight before walking to my closest grabbing a pair of black jeans and a dark red long sleeve shirt. I brush out my hair and I put on a gray beanie before walking to my bathroom and covering up my eye. I put on black mascara and eyeliner I pair some tinted lip gloss with it before putting on my black combat boots. I grab my phone putting it in my backpocket and I put my earbuds in my front pocket. I walk down stairs seeing some random dude pouring coffee, he sees me and pauses
"Oh uh.. Hi"
He says setting the pot down and I shake my head
"Hi"
I sat shortly grabbing an apple as he watches me he shakes his head and holds up a empty cup
"Want some ?"
I shake my head and grab my keys along with my bag
" No thanks, I'm getting some before school.. Also the Advil is in the third drawer to the left"
He nods before thanking me and I nod walking out of the house to my car, I take a big bite of my apple checking the time.. I have time to stop.  I drive to the Starbucks by the school and I get out and toss out the remains of my apple in the trash by the door before walking in. There's not that much of a line, i order a white chocolate mocha and a bagel before paying and waiting by the counter.
"Your Riley right ?"
I turn around seeing Hazel Gallows, she's the student body president, on every comity in the school and is one of the bitchest girls.
"Yeah Hazel, watcha need ?"
She crosses her arms over her chest and looks me up and down
"You and Miles seem to be getting along.. I mean he did get in your car yesterday "
She says more accusingly then anything
"Well he needed a ride.. It's not like we had sex or anything "
She looks at me again and narrows her eyes as if trying to see into my soul, after a few seconds she flips her hair and picks up her coffee and walks away. My name gets called and I grab my coffee and food walking out to my car seeing Hazel talking to one of her girls using a lot of hand motions before she sees me and she smirks.. Yep I am scared for my life. I quickly get in my car and I take a sip of my coffee before starting to drive to school .

"Yo Riles "
Kyle says taking some of the bagel as he wraps his arm around my shoulder, I head nod to him taking a sip of my coffee.
" Hey Kyle"
He smiles with a mouthful of bagel and cream cheese and I laugh pushing his  shoulder
"Grossss "
He laughs and acts like he's kissing my cheek and I scrunch up my nose pushing him away a little. The hallway seems to be a buzz as per usual, Lilly come running up to me and hits my shoulder
"1. OW!  and 2. Why?"
She shakes her head and continues to hit my shoulder.
" Why didn't you tell me you and Miles went home together last night !"
I shake my head and hold her wrists
"We didn't go home together, I drove him home after he jumped into my Car"
She looks into my eyes before nodding and I let go of her wrists.
"But why is everybody saying t-"
I roll my eyes and look at her
"People make up crazy stuff all the time sweetie "
She nods before grabbing my rest of the bagel from my hand and I groan
"You know I bought that for me right .. You savages "
I tease as they both attack hug me and I squeak.
"You little mouse "
Kyle says pinching my cheeks and I glare at him and Lily laughs. She gets up and helps me up and I straighten out my beanie and I roll my sleeves down.
Kyle gets up a few seconds after and he loops his arm with mine and he drags me down the hall and I laugh.
-------
English is my favorite subject.. But I hate the sub, she's maybe about 45 and she try's to act 19. She wears crop tops and booty short, she tries to use slang but ends up acting like a mom it's just horrible.
"Riley, stop zoning  and like answer the question "
I look up to the sub who's wearing a black fitted crop top with black high waisted shorts and sandals.. She looks maybe a little nor- nope not at all.
"I'm sorry miss what was the question ?"
She scoffs and rolls her eyes
" like I asked what did you think about these chapters of the Great Gatsby you know the homework "
Oh fuck.. I didn't read last night
"Oh um.. I thought they were very revealing "
I say as she looks at me before shaking her head and walking over to me
"Not reading is one thing but lying? Nu uh go to the detention room "
She says before flipping her hair and walking away.
"What! But miss.."
She just holds up a hand and I groan grabbing my stuff and I walk to the detention room.
108 Detention
I sigh and I push the door open seeing a sleeping teacher with a pile of detention slips on his desk, I grab one and I walk to an open desk and I set my stuff down laying my head on my arms. About ten minutes later the door opens and I don't bother looking up, probably just some delinquents.
"Yo Mr. K miss me? Yeah I know you did "
Miles? I look up seeing Miles and his boys.
"Small fry ? You're in detention? Well shit "
Miles laughs and Damon waves as Jason just head nods.
"Yeah, stupid English sub gave me detention for not reading and then lying"
They nod and sit around me and Jason gives me a weird look
"You know it's like going to be 90 today what's with the long sleeves ?"
Oh fuck.. See I've never had to explain because my friends knew already and nobody really talked to me enough to really question it.
"Oh um.. It's laundry day so you know had to do with what I had on hand "
He nods probably not believing me but whatever.
"So small fry what did you do with all that alcohol yesterday? Yes I saw "
I pause and I look at all three boys before shrugging
"Just picking some stuff up for a friend "
Miles looks at me confused before Jason and Damon start having their own conversation.
"So small fry, what are you doing later?"
I give him a confused look
"Nothing.. Why?"
He smirks
" Wanna get kicked out of more places ?"
I shake my head
"No way, I can't afford to get kicked out of more places "
I laugh and he smiles like one of those boyish ones and it was kinda adorable.
"Stop flirting you too, don't make us get the hose "
I laugh and I turn to Jason and Damon and they're laughing their asses off and Miles just throws a pencil at them which makes them laugh harder.
"So R.. Yes you name is R now. Do you wanna come party ?"
"I-"
"No she's not coming she'd just kill the mood "
Miles says without looking at me.. Ouch bro
"You know it would better if i didnt, dont want to be a buzz kill "
I say looking at Miles directly before getting up and grabbing my stuff storming out, I walk to my locker and I open it before slamming it and I against it.
" Well that was dramatic "
I turn seeing Miles leaning next to me and he has a hit of a smirk on his face and I roll my eyes and I push myself off the lockers not ready to talk to him.
" Okay, Okay small fry "
I just continue to walk and I hear him following me
" Small fry I didn't mean it like that "
I just shake my head again and I continue to walk, I feel a hand grab my arm and pull me back gently, causing me to crash into Miles chest.
" Riley look I didn't mean it like that, I just meant that I-"
" No don't, I know what you meant, I am too much of a good girl I would ruin your rep. I get it okay! I get that you don't want to be seen with me" 
I'm so sick of everybody assuming that I wouldn't be any fun or a tattle tail. He sighs looking into my eyes before grabbing my arm a little harder and taking me to one of the janitor's closets. He flips the switch and looks at me as he lets go of my arm and I lean against the door
"One this is so cliched I swear I could go on wattpad right now and read this in at least four books and two what do you want?"
He runs his fingers through his hair and he looks like he's trying to find the words.
"You won't be a buzz kill, It's just.. We get really crazy when we're drinking and partying and I don't want to end up leaving you alone and something bad happening to you.. I would never forgive myself, and neither would the guys "
He looks almost, normal. No smirks, no teasing just a normal teenage boy looking out for a girl.
"You could've just said that "
I say finally and he shakes his head and takes a step closer to me
"I really couldn't they would just push and push and push and then.. God i don't want to think about it "
I nod as he takes another step closer until we're inches apart, Oh crap. He looks deep into my eyes and I look back into his, we stay like that for a few moments just staring into eachothers eyes it didn't matter that we were in a janitor's closet or that we're breathing in chemicals its just him and I. I feel a buzz and I take my phone out of my pocket seeing
Kyle the town fool
Flash and I laugh shaking my head putting it up to my ear, Miles still staring into my eyes.
"Hey Ky"
"Bitch where are thou, I waited by your english class but you weren't in there what gives ?"
I laugh again and Miles gives me a confused look and I just mouth Kyle and he nods. " I got detention, it was that stupid sub "
"Ah okay, well meet me at my locker we have some drama we have to get through together. "
I nod forgetting he can't see me
"Yeah I'll be there in 10 "
I say before hanging up and I look back at miles and he already has his hand on the door nob
" Duty calls "
He says before walking out making me almost fall since I was leaning against the door, I make my way back to the detention room seeing it cleared out before I grab my stuff and walk over to Kyle's locker.
-------------------------
I call my girl 'cause I got a problem
Only a curl is gonna solve it
Then I don't really care, just get him out of my hair, yeah
Let's switch it up, get off my shoulder
I've had enough, can't take it no longer
I'm over him I swear, I'm like yeah
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
'Cause he was just a dick and I knew it
Got me going mad sitting in this chair
Like I don't care
Gotta get him out my hair
I tried everything but it's useless
He pushed me so far now I'm on the edge
Make him disappear
Go get him out my hair

I'm dancing around the house singing into my hairbrush/ microphone as I continue to move around the house.  I know what you're thinking, wait isn't your mom home?
Nope she's doing god knows what. There's a loud ding and I walk over to the oven and I take out my freezer pizza and I set it on the counter and I smile as the smell of pepperoni and pineapple fills my nose. I grab the knife and I cut it into slices and I take out a plastic plate from the cabinet and I set a slice a few slices on there and I take a bite letting the tastes of spicy and sweet fill my mouth as I continue to dance around the house. There's a knock on the front door and I groan walking back into the house since I was in the backyard, I open the door revealing Kyle.
"Hey Riles, Oo I smell pizza "
He says walking into my house and straight into my kitchen coming back a few moments later with four slices piled on a plate.
"Is this why you came to my house tonight? To steal my food?"
He shakes his head and finishes chewing before smiling.. Evilly
" Go get ready"
He says and points upstairs and I shake my head
"No, why should I go get ready ?"
"Because we're going to party and you can't go in your cleaning the house/ lazy clothes now go we leave in 20"
I groan knowing I won't be able to talk my way out of it. I run upstairs and I walk to my closest looking at all my clothes I finally decide on dark purple skater skirt with a sweetheart neckline and I put on my usual makeup with just a bit of nude matte lipstick, I put on a black bow and black bootie heels. I put some cash my bra just in case and I walk down stairs seeing Kyle stuffing more pizza in his face before he stops.
" Wow you look.. Like a girl that's new "
I laugh and I toss a pillow at him and he laughs walking over to me and hugging me.
" My best friend is growing up I can't believe it "
I laugh and shake my head pushing him off me before he grabs my wrist gently and he drags me out, I grab my phone before he closes the door completely.
