~CHAPTER FOUR~
“Carlos can you hold on a second, there’s someone at the door.” I said into the phone as I starred at the person in front of me.
“Dammit Riley, say something.”
“Why are you at my house?” I said to my ex-boyfriend Derek; you see, we were that couple that dated forever and we were kind of cute but we had that honeymoon phase the entire relationship and eventually, we got tired of each other and things ended pretty badly.
“I needed to talk to you.” He said, ha, never going to happen. “Really, you won’t even let me explain something to you?” wait, I said that out loud? Gah stupid Riley.
“Not right now, I’m a little busy.” I pointed to my phone.
“Whatever, you’re too much of a bitch for me anyways. Take your damn pizza.” He shoved it towards me and walked to his car, I slammed the door and continued talking to Carlos.
“Who was that Riley?” Carlos asked.
“Doesn’t matter, anyways what were we talking about?”
“You coming to visit?”
“Yeah I want too, I really do it’s just-“
“Riley, come on I’ll pay.”
“Carlos, I’m not some little charity, you can’t just give me money, if I want to visit, I’ll pay for it myself.” I said sternly and hung up the phone. You see my parents own some huge law firm or something and so my family does have money, I just chose not take money from my parents; I prefer to earn it on my own. I would’ve had enough except I spent it all on concert tickets.
I sat down on my bed and ate the entire pizza and just messed around on my laptop. I was messing around and trying to make a remix of some songs. I want to be a producer but I do not live in LA, so I have a hard time trying to make it in that business.
I had a great cover going until my phone decided it wanted to blow up with text messages. Ugh I don’t understand what people could possibly want on a school night. I looked at the texts and they were all caps so apparently something was urgent?
From: Maya
GUESS WHO WANTS TO ASK YOU HOMECOMING AND OH MY GOD.
There were more like that but I kinda of got the idea of what my friends were trying to tell me. I totally forgot homecoming was in ya know, two weeks. I was not prepared at all.
To: Maya
Doesn’t matter, im not going.
From: Maya
Cameron Smith.
Oh my god. Cam is actually like my high school crush, I figured since I can’t get close to Carlos in that way, I needed a crush so I wouldn’t fall for Carlos.
To: Maya
How did you get this information?
From: Maya
Cam himself, he’s gonna ask you for your number tomorrow, but act surprised.
After fangirling in my room, I settled down to get ready for bed, I mean it was only 9:30 but “going to bed” meant grab popcorn, a pop and watch movies until I passed out. Right before I put in the movie ‘42’ judge me but I love my sports, my phone had vibrated and it was a text from, Carlos.
From: Los (:
Riley, im so sorry I didn’t know you felt like you were charity, I just thought it would be a friendly gesture and id love to have you out here. I mean you are kind of like my best friend and all, I can’t deal with just skyping you. Im sorry, please don’t let it ruin your night.
*Carlos P.O.V*
I felt so bad about the phone call with Riley. I texted her and she has yet to answer, god, how could I be so stupid about this? My phone vibrated and I opened it, thank god it was her.
From: Riley (: <3
It’s ok, you didn’t know, and no it didn’t ruin my night, I actually found out that my crush wants to ask me to homecoming :D and right now im getting ready to watch a movie, I’ll think about coming out but it might be awhile, I have to save up 700+ dollars and my minimum wage paying job ya know. Haha
“hey los, what’s up with you? You look pissed?” Logan said as he walked into my room. I couldn’t talk; Riley had another crush, Riley didn’t like me. I stood up and threw a punch at the wall.
“CARLOS!” I turned and faced the door, James and Kendall had walked in and they were all looking at me wide eyed.
“I gotta go.” I muttered and shoved past them. I don’t know what came over me. Riley is my best girl-friend, I didn’t think I liked her, but after that reaction, I honestly have no idea. I just sat down on some random park bench and pulled out my phone, put in my headphones and turned on Pandora and of course, the first song that comes on; ‘if You Left Him For Me’ by Cody Simpson.
@TheCarlosPena: I would hold you tighter, make your smile wider, if you just left him for me
It was crazy how this song fit the situation right now, I need to figure out these feelings.
A/N this story will be getting to the plot shortly :) kind of a filler but that's ok, I'll be updating more often because my other story is almost over!

Fanfic"Riley that's not your phone?" My best friend's words replayed in my head. Who's phone is this and why do they have mine? I had no idea what to expect when the phone rang the next day.
