Matt's POV

God that Felt good. It feels great to Let out all that Anger, and It felt even more better To Kiss Riley In front of all these people, now they can finally see that what I feel for her is real, and they can't do anything about it. Obviously, People Kept Giving us weird looks, why wouldn't they? But they finally stopped talking, and I'm More then glad about that, honestly. I was so close to ripping someone's head off, at least the day Is Over. I walk Riley to the car, and I can't Help but too look at her. She's so beautiful. I open the door for her, and she sends me a smile.

"Thank You."

"No problem."

I walk Over to my side of the car, and get Inside. I let out a sigh.

"Ready to go Home?" I ask her.

"Yes, and No. I have to study for that stupid Math Test we have Next Class." Riley says in a frustrated voice.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"Hey, no no no, your Going to study for this Test too." She tells me pointing her finger at me.

"But I'm too Lazy." I say slumping in my seat.

"Well stop being Lazy, we need to get good passing grades if we ever want to graduate, so study up." She says in a serious voice which I just find extremely adorable.

"You sound so cute when You talk in a serious tone." I say smiling at her and staring at her in awe.

"Shut up." She slaps me on the shoulder, and turns her head towards the window as she shakes her head laughing.

"Wait, I left My Textbook In my locker, I have to go get it, I'll be back in a second." I say opening the door.

"Okay."

I walk out, and head back into the building. I make it to my locker, and search for my text book. I really don't want to study for this test, but I'll do anything for Riley, and I guess she has a point, I have to start getting good grades if I want Graduate this year, and go to college. I don't want to end up living on the streets, or flipping burgers at McDonald's.

"Aha found you." I mutter to myself. I grab it and close my locker. I turn around, and See Chelsea standing there.

"God. What the hell? What are you doing?" I ask her.

"Why Matt? What have I ever done to you? I love you." I see Tears begin To Form In her eyes, and I really Do not want to deal with this.

"Chelsea We've Talked about this."

"Well, We need to talk about it again!" She yells, and begins to grab her hair. "Gosh, what is so good about her, what does she have that I don't?! Tell me!" She grabs My textbook and smacks it right to the floor, and grabs me as she cries into my chest. My eyes widen In Shock, and I'm frozen. What the hell is wrong with her, she's out of control. I grab her and pull her away from me.

"Chelsea, calm down Okay? Please just calm down, your scaring me." I say.

She wipes away Her tears. "No, No Matt how can You Tell me to clam down at a time like this... I lost you, I- I don't know if I can h-handle that!" She cries harder, and I rub the back of my neck.

"I'm sorry Chelsea. You'll find someone better then me, I guarantee it."

"No, Your the Only one I want, I refuse to Lose you to some bitch like her. I'm going to fight for you Matt, no matter what it takes, I don't care.. I would sacrifice anything to be with you, believe every word I say. I'll prove it to you. This isn't over for us. We're meant to be together, we always Have been, and we always will. I promise you that." She Takes a quick Glance at me, and turns around as she heads outside.

What In the world is going on with her? Something is seriously wrong, but what could it be? I grab my textbook from the floor, Then head outside, and the cold breeze hits me, I run to the car, and jump in.

Riley Jumps at the loud noise, and turns her head at me holding her heart.

"You scared the crap out of me!.. Matt? Are you Alright?"

"I don't know."

"What Do you mean? Did something Happen in there?"

"Yeah, yeah something did happen in there."

"What happened?"

"I'm not really sure, but Let's just say Chelsea Has some serious Issues."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Look, can we talk about this at another time?I'm still a little shocked about what Happened."

"Of course, if that's what you want" Riley looks at me with concern, and I can tell she is worried.

"Let's just head home."

Riley's POV
I look Up At Matt, and see Him looking down at his text book. I want to ask him about what Happened In the school building, but I don't want to seem nosy, or desperate, but at the same time I feel Like It's something I should Know. I continue looking at him, and I open my mouth but nothing comes out. Matt looks Up at me, and smiles.

"We're You Gonna say something?" He asks me smiling at me.

"No, I was just uh yawning."

"Yeah, I don't believe you. Come on Spit it out."

"Fine, um, I'm just curious.. What happened today when you went back into the school to grab your textbook? You look really freaked out, and surprised." I'm not sure if this was A mistake, or if it wasn't.

He gets Quiet, and closes his text Book. Yup, a mistake for sure.

"You don't need to tell me, just forget I asked." I say continuing to study.

"No, I want to tell you."

I nod, and give him my full attention.

"It just caught me surprise. Chelsea, she came up to me, and kept crying, and screaming saying that we are meant to be together, and that she still loves me, and then she Just, freaked out. She got out of control. She kept saying that she isn't going to give up on us, whatever that means."

"Well, I mean she just got her heart Broken, do you really expect her to just walk around pretending like nothing happened?"

"I didn't say that, it's just she doesn't usually act out like that, it's weird, I don't know Maybe I'm Over thinking things, but you should have seen it, she was out of control."

"Maybe you are over thinking a little too much, but I guess we won't ever really know now will we?" I say.

"Yeah."

"Let's just get Back to studying, get your mind off some things." I say smiling at him.

"Good Idea."
