Sleeping Romance (GxG)

7. You like her

"Get your ass out of the bed..." I hear dad shout.

"Oh." My dad says after he came in my bedroom door. I watch him with a raised eyebrow as he itch the back of his neck.

"I am up." I chuckle as I take the books into my schoolbag.

"You usually don't." He says, sounding a little curious.

"It's a nice day." I shrug as I look out the window watching the sunshine. I feel the warmth as the light hit my face. I think it is going to be a good day.

"Well, I see you later." He smile as she steps out the door and close it behind him.

I hope Riley is going to sit with us today like she did a couple of days ago. She is usually not in the canteen when it's lunch so if she is not there today, then I will look for her.

I can feel the pressure of the time, since it's almost been a month already and I am nowhere near as a friend, but it is not just that. I like being around her, she is very interesting to me.

I have been standing with Hannah and the rest for a while now, listening to them talk as I wait for Riley to show up, but then the bell ring and I have but no choice to go.

I sigh as I walk with Becca to our math class. I wonder why Riley hasn't come yet, maybe she over slept or maybe ill.

I guess I can ask tomorrow if she do not come in today. I have been waiting, since tomorrow to see her, to hear her voice.

"Are you okay?" Becca asks and look at her.

"Yeah, just tired." I answer as we step into our classroom.

"Are you sure? You have been quiet for days." She says. I watch her surprised as I find a seat. I guess I have been lost in my thoughts for a while. I shake my head to Becca and she rolls her eyes.

"Does it has something to do with Riley?" Becca questions.

"No, why?" I ask, but this time she just chuckles as she shake her head.

"What?" I wonder, annoyed that she is just laugh of me.

"You like her." She smiles.

"Of course I like her."

"No, Drew. You really like this one. You look at her as if she is," She seems thoughtful as she look for the right word.

"An angel." She says, snapping her finger, and I laugh lightly.

"Drew you do." She says, but then I notice something about her face. Becca seems a little dreamy as if she is thinking about something or someone. I shrug it off as the teacher comes in.

"No sandwich today?" Hannah ask disappointed, and I wink to her only to get a kick in the leg, but I don't care. Then to my surprise, I see Riley. I get up from my seat right away. God, I have been waiting to see that face all day.

"Hi." I smile before she can strike me with her stick.

"Hi, Drew Lu." She tease and I roll my eyes with amusement. Then she folds the cane and take a step towards me. She reaches out her hand and I take the hint to take it in mine, but she moves it up my arm. 

My body turns to goosebumps of her soft touch. She places her hand right above my elbow. She nods with a smile and I follow her to our seat.

"Hi, Riley." Hannah says as we sit down in front of her.
