❤️Riley's POV❤️
New hair, new makeup, new clothes, new me. I look like I'm going to a fancy dinner but I love it, I wore a teal high waisted skirt with black heels that show my toes a little but, with a shirt that shows a little bit of my stomach, not to much but enough. Sarah topped it with a white cardigan, purple clutch which I shove into my bag along with my lunch, headphones and a few other necessities, and a sparkly bracelet. She just finished my makeup and we were just heading downstairs to get some breakfast. "Oh Riley! You look so good but, I've got to go see you after school, hi Sarah!" Mom shouts grabbing her purse and rushing the kids out of the house. Once she leaves the house I walk over to the fridge, "Riles Alec wants to know if he can carpool with us?" Sarah asks, "Ask him if he's got a hook up tonight," I say smiling, I hear Sarah smile with a happy sigh. Giggling, I grab some toast and pop it in the toaster before grabbing the Nutella, and when the toast pops up I spread it out placing the pieces on two plates one in front of me and one in front of Sarah. She nods thankfully biting into it and texting Alec, "Lol he just said is this Sarah?" Sarah laughs, "No it's new Riley," she mutters typing it in, "Yes he can come," I say, smiling these shoes are so comfy I didn't have to buy any new shoes except for a couple the rest are all Sarah's old ones. There is a knock on the door then it opens, "Hey where's the jeans?" Alec says taking in my appearance I step out from behind the island, "Ohhhhhhh actually this looks good, lots of skin that looks better," Alec says, I blush then we head out the door, I lock it as we leave and jump in my car, I can do this I can be confident. I smile as we pull out and driveway dancing along to the music on the radio. Well as well as I can dance while driving they giggle. When we get to school I sigh then climb out of my car, "Confidence, smile," Sarah mutters into my ear as students look at us, I feel a soft warm hand grasp mine and tingles shoot up my arm. "For the new Riley to get on Tiana's nerves," Alec whisper into my arm, I blush but, wipe it away with a light laugh playing it off as something Alec said. We walked into the school Jess met me at my locker she came shopping with us and she knows about my plan she smiles warmly as I get into my locker. Grabbing my books before waiting for Sarah to grab her books. "I'll see you in class," Alec said leaving a kiss on my cheek, before walking off towards his friends, I smiled Jess and Sarah smiled too. I was blushing like crazy right now, why was he doing this? My cheek tingled where he left the kiss, "I'll see you at lunch alright?" Jess asked, I nodded in reply speechless from Alec's game, but in the end that's all it was, just a game, a stubborn little game. The morning flew by super quickly, as many guys came up and gave slips of paper with their numbers on it. I told everyone I'd meet them at the lunch table, I was just grabbing my lunch bag when I heard heels clicking up behind me. Suddenly I was pressed against the locker, "Who the fuck do you think you are? Huh? Stay away from Alec Rinder he's mine, always has been always will be," Tiana said pointing a finger at me, I grabbed her finger and slowly started to pull it away from me, "Well I have a secret Tiana, he knows everything you did to me, he will never come near you again, piece of trash," I said spitting the last word at her, she looked stunned but I turned away from her and walked off, what am I doing? I asked myself, this whole idea is crazy I can't let it go on, yes you can, it has to work Toby won't be able to notice you, I told myself reassuringly. When I walked into the cafeteria I saw him, Toby he glanced my way before going back to his lunch he didn't notice me! Then he took a second glance, "Riley?" He asked as I sat down, shit, I ignored him and dug into my salad. I felt someone tap on my shoulder, I stuck my hand out, "Numbers can go into my hand, otherwise I'm busy so leave me alone," I said, "Oh my god Riley Devin," Toby said, "Yes it's Riley fucking Devin she's changed okay, so screw off," I said, I turned around, "Toby get out of here," I said. I could almost feel the way he felt the victory of me knowing it was him. I would not let him effect me the bell went, it's been one day and I can't do this what the hell was I thinking. Yeah dressing up and all is great but, I need Riley back the real Riley, I'll keep the hair and everything but, I need me back, the Jean in summer girl, "Sarah I need me back," I said, "I knew this would happen," Sarah said, "You couldn't even last one day, "Too much to fast," I say, "Here," Sarah said handing me a plastic bag I look in it confused, jeans a t-shirt, and converse, "Go change quickly," She said pointing me towards the washroom. I hugged her quickly before walking to the washroom, when I finished changing I walked into class and I wasn't that late. "Hey Riles just so you know I like you better," Alec said, in my ear, "What do you mean?" I whispered back not turning around, "The whole Riley taking over Tiana and everything is insane, and all the guys not just me like the girls who don't try so hard, they'll still love you," he said into my ear again, a shiver went down my spine, "Then why do you go for the popular girls?" I asked, "Because they'll give us what we want without a fight," Alec said stopping, "Sex," we said at the same time under our breath, "Im to remind you that next Friday we leave for camping," The teacher says, he's a substitute, "So any forms?" He asks, I stand my form in my hand, "Hey doll mind handing him mine?" Alec asks, I look at him, his elbow is on the desk his head resting in it casually and he has that quirky smile on him. He's so irresistible, wait what the shit? He's ugly as fuck, I take the paper from his hand and stick my tongue out at him as I turn to give the teacher the forms. As I turn I trip over my desk and land face first on the floor, the class bursts out laughing I blush pushing myself up then wiping myself off before heading to the teacher and handing him mine and Alec's now crinkled papers. I punch him, "Ow what was that for?" He asks, "You put that there," I say sitting down, "Okay I'm sorry," he says holding his hands up I stare at him, he actually did it? I didn't think he did, I punch him in the shoulder harder, then spin around to pay attention at the next lesson. "Today we are going to start on our novel studies," the teacher starts, "As far as I know you have finished a novel of not, this class will be strictly reading so you can finish that up. Get started," he says dismissively I pull out my novel and start to read. "What book you reading?" Alec asks in my ear, "Me Before You," I answer, "Sounds boring," he says, I turn and look at him, "It is a very good romance," I say, he chuckles than sits back in his seat. I continue reading until class is over and then school is finished and I head over to Sarah's house, where she begs me to tell her everything that's going through m mind, and everything with my parents. I do and we talk till five and I head home, getting dinner started for mom. When she gets home I have prepared chicken, beans, and fried rice for us to eat. "Oh Riley what a nice surprise!" She shouts, "Yummy," mom says dropping her stuff off on the island as the kids and everybody grab to the dinner table to eat, "Did d-" "He came and got his stuff at noon, I don't want to talk about it," mom says, I nod and dig in. Mom moans, "This is so good," mom says we finish later, "Riwes guess what day it is tomorrow?!" Ava shouts, "What day?" I ask, "Friday!" Ava's shouts, "Mom have you told her yet?" Mark shouts, I look across to mom accusingly, "No I've not," Mom says, "We are going to gran and gramps!" Mark shouts, "It's a big famiwy fiesta!" Ava shouts, I smile, "This is so awesome, mom," I say, grab and gramps are so cool, they have horses and I miss them so much. "Friday night is a huge party, so you are free to invite your friends," mom says, "I have invited Marie, and Jenny so if you have anybody else you want to invite...." Mom says, "Jessica she's never really known much of my family I think it would be good to bring her," I say, mom nods and I take her dishes and shove all them into the dishwasher and turn it on. After I've wiped the counters, I lean back against it, running a hand through my hair, I like the new hair, "I noticed you changed," mom starts, "I did mom I don't know what I was thinking, but I like the hair," I say pulling at my hair, "I like it too and to be perfectly honest, this morning was way to much grown up for me," mom says, I smile and walk over to her and hug her, "I love you mom," I say, "I've got homework to do so," I say, "Okay oh but Riley can you just gather your siblings clothes and leave them at the top of the stairs?" Mom asks, "Yeah for sure," I say then heading up stairs, I walk into each of my siblings room, Mark who is going to the washroom, and Ava who is pulling all of her clothes out of her closet, I'll deal with that later. I gather their clothes then start on my homework, "Riles just heard about the party," Alec starts, "And?" I ask, "Mind giving me a lift?" He asks, "Can't you just go with your family?" I ask, "Well yeah but that's weird," Alec says, "I feel like this just giving you a ride is more like giving you and your crew a ride," I say, I hear him chuckle and I smile. "Well yeah that's what it is," Alec says, "Why do you think people other than you are aloud to come?" I ask, "Because your mom just said I could invite whoever I wanted," he says, just then mom yells up, "Riles stop pestering your neighbour it's a huge party he's aloud to bring whoever and however many people he wants!!" Mom shouts, I sigh, "How many of you?" I ask, "Five," Alec says, "And you say there's six passenger seats in my car?" I ask, "Yeppers," Alec says, "Fine," I say, sighing loudly. "And Riles thanks for the tutoring it helped a lot," Alec says, I stand and run over to my day bed, "Did I just hear Alec Rinder say thank you? To me?" I ask, acting astonished, "Devin I'm good with manners," Alec says, turning back to his desk, "Wait are you actually doing homework?" I ask, puzzled, "Yeah I am I'm good in school," Alec says, "Barely," I scoff, "Hey!" Alec shouts as I walk back to my desk.
****
I finish two hours later, and decide to get changed for bed then play on tumblr for awhile. "Riles," Alec asks, he's been bugging me for the past two hours, "What?" I groan, "Are you a parking ticket? Because you got fine written all over you," Alec says, I look over he's wiggling his eyebrows, "Don't even try on me Rinder," I say, when I look back at my phone I notice a small TV with a bow on it. "Mom!" I shout, "Mom!" I shout louder, "Riley? What's wrong?" Mom asks frantically coming around the corner, "What's this?" I say pointing to the TV, "Your dad decided to give you kids a tv," Mom says, "Really?" I ask, "I took the kids ones out because they are not old enough yet, but the android is already hooked up so you can thank him." Mom says, "I don't want to," I say sitting up grabbing the bow and note and chucking them in the garbage. "Okay, goodnight Riley," mom says, she exits my room closing my door behind her. "Nice dad," Alec says sarcastically, "Barely," I scoff, turning it on, I decide to watch some TV on it anyways because I've wanted a tv in my room forever. At 9:30 I go to sleep and pass out right away, I am tired very tired.
