*Marcus' POV*
I was still in shock that I wasn't even listening to the teacher anymore until he called out my name to the whole class.
"Marcus, listen please. I moved you there for a reason." He says before turning back to the board to write down the assignment.
I rub my eyes, making sure this wasn't all a dream.
I open them again.
Nope, it was real life. Riley cuts. I'm dating Christine.
The bell shortly rings after, Riley quickly getting out of the room.
I wanted to catch up to her but, she was gone before I could even grab her. Memories from the past week flash through my mind.
Asking Christine to be my girlfriend, kicking Riley out, Maya getting furious at me, losing some wonderful friends because of my stupidity.
How could I do that to my best friend?
*Riley's POV*
I hurried out of the room as fast as I can, avoiding Marcus completely managing to get to the library without interruption. I didn't bother to tell Maya where I was going, I would just meet her at our spot at lunch. I sit in the back, pull my headphones on, close my eyes and lay my head down on the table.
Luckily, this was my free period and wouldn't really have to stress about much until an hour or so later.
However, my thoughts were interrupted by someone yanking off my headphones gently. I open my eyes and glare at the person who pulled them off. They quickly softened as I found out the person who did them.
"Hey there princess, what are you doing here alone?" Luke says.
I sigh, "Free period." Opening my phone to turn off the music.
He nods, tapping his shoulder for me to lay on. I place my head right where he tapped, and we start talking for awhile.
It turns out, he has this free period too and Maya was in art so he comes here often to help out the old librarian organize the books and what not. He also says you get some volunteer hours to go into your record.
"I heard your teacher moved you and Maya. And Maya has to sit next to Christine and you're sitting with Marcus. How're you holding up?" He asks, gently caressing my hair.
I groan, "Torture, people think I'm annoying and Marcus is being weird." as I take his fingers from my hair and play with them.
Don't get me wrong, Luke was cute and attractive, but I wouldn't do that to Maya, plus, he was more like a big brother to me than anything else.
He gives me an affirming nod, I just lay there, my legs crossed and my head on his shoulder . A silence grew upon us, more comfortable than awkward, a type of friendship we had. If Marcus was busy or I didn't wanna bother him with my life, I went to Luke.
In the silence, I thought over the times I had with Marcus, from when we were little kids to now. Maybe I was being a bad friend, I shouldn't have even liked him in the first place.
"Luke?" I tilt my head up, my eyes already glossy.
"Hm?" He looks down, pulling me closer to him.
"A-am I a bad friend?" I ask, vulnerably.
I close my eyes to keep a tear from falling down my face.
"No, princess, why would you think that?" His voice filled with concern.
"Because," I sniff, "Marcus kicked me out, he's not my friend anymore, like am I that bad that even Marcus had to leave. Why does everyone leave?" I couldn't stop the tears anymore, running down freely, me not giving a care in the world anymore.
"Hey, hey, don't cry. Everyone leaves at some point, Marcus is dumb for letting you go," He starts, wiping the tears of my face with his thumbs, "Princess, you are the best person you could ever be. You are not a bad friend, don't ever believe that. Okay?" He says, pulling me into a hug.
I nod in his chest knowing he could feel it, my crying stopped for a while but, came again as I thought more. We stayed like that for the rest of free period, Luke making sure I was going to be okay soon.
Who knew life was going to be this hard?

A/N: Heyyy! Here's my update, sorry if it's so short, this was like a filler but not at the same time because it adds more into the Riley and Marcus story. I also wanted to add in more Luke and Riley stuff because they need some more friendship background you know?
Hope you guys liked it!
