Riley's POV

"So then I said—"

"Not this joke again Riley, you went on me about it yesterday, for like, a whole hour or so!"

"Well, Alec nor Elisa's never heard of it anyway."

Grodella rolled her eyes and just covered her ears, cause it's gonna bleed for like what, an nth time.

I had classes in a couple of subjects before lunch, and it's really boring. Figured I didn't listen in all the lessons. Really boring.

Welp, interesting, I was telling all sorts of corny jokes. Elisa forced a laugh to not make me feel bad.

Alec said, "Don't force your laugh, she's a retarded comedian."

"Hey, says the guy who stutters a lot! Pfft, Mr. Stutter."

Elisa giggled from the nickname I gave him.

Alec blushed and I smirked, "Welp I'll be right back with our orders, won't take long."

I mumbled, "Hopefully I won't run into shithead badasses again."

I fell in line, when I saw a familiar blond in front of me.

I tapped his shoulder and he faced me.

"Oh hey bro!"

"Hey Riley! Whatcha doing? And who ya hanging out with?

"Just a couple of friends, Grodella, Alec and Elisa. And do I really have to tell you every bit of detail I am doing here right now, like standing, blinking, and breathing? Seriously bro?"

I rolled my eyes and he chuckled, "I was just messing with ya. I was just hanging out with Edward."

It's actually surprising to know that all of the people I know are in Year 1, even my brother. Though he is a year older than me though.

He stepped forward and grabbed two plates, while I grabbed four plates, which wow thank you for not helping me here, Grodella.

Luckily, there was this guy, assumably a freshman too, dark hair, and brown eyes, and has his dark green hood on his face.

He got the other two plates for me, which he is now carrying.

"Uh thanks, dude."

"Name's Bill."

"Riley. Hey wanna sit with us?"

He nodded and accompanied me back to our table, since he was alone anyway.

Grodella's face was bright red though. The heck is wrong with her?

Bill sat next to Grodella, which resulted me sitting at the left, Grodella in the middle, and Bill at the right. And we left Elisa and Alec sitting together from across our seats.

I took a quick glance at Grodella and Bill, who were both blushing and tensed as they both ate their lunches.

I cleared my throat a few times and smirked, "I feel out of place here, I'm being surrounded by couples here."

I faked a cough and stood up to get some orange juice for me.

"Excuse me~!"

I stood up and left, still eyeing those two pairs of couples.

Even though Bill and Grodella just met, they're like people who already knew each other.

I shrugged off the thought and just went to get some juice. When I returned, I could feel the uncomfortable silence on our table. Elisa and Alec, Grodella and Bill? Oh please, this cupid can't do in two at once today!

The bell rang, signaling back to class. Finally, the tensions are over!

I stood up and quickly dashed to my locker and grabbed my gym clothes, and went to the bathroom and changed.

Anyway, I headed towards the gym so we could finally start gym class.

The teacher grabbed a rack of balls and brought it with her.

"Alright, my name is Ms. Helena. Today, you all get to play dodgeball!"

She blew through her whistle for a long period of time.

Oh jeez, that really made me deaf. Nah just kidding!

But on the plus side, MY FAVORITE SPORT! THE DAY WHERE I SWORE TO GET REVENGE ON EVERY BITCHFACE I CAN ENCOUNTER ON THIS PLANET!

I quickly laid my bag down the bleachers and headed down the gym field to start. I luckily had the opportunity to grab a ball, since, you know what they say, first come first serve!

"3..."

I, Riley Redberry, swears to go back from this dreadful war alive...

"2..."

I also thereby swear to have my vengeance on those I despise the most...

"1..."

namely... PEOPLE CALLED BITCHES!!!

"GO!"

I quickly ran and I grinned widely when I spotted THAT ONE GURL! if you're wondering who I'm referring to, it's obviously Zhion's girlfriend.

VENGEANCE!!!

"Heads up dude!"

I turned around and a ball was coming for me. I quickly grabbed with my free hand and tossed both of them towards that girl, who for some reason, I don't know her name. Let's call her "Ms. Little Damsel in Distress" for now.

She got hit, both the balls hitting her directly in the face.

I mentally high-fived myself and I rose my hand up and said, "Sorry!"

She rolled her eyes, "Ugh, whatever. DO YOUR BEST BABE!"

Babe. HER DAMN BADASS IDIOTIC BASTARD BOYFRIEND IS HERE! PERFECT! I CAN DO TWO VENGEANCES IN ONE DAY!

I smacked down all the other students with the ball, so I'd be left to face him.

He looked at me, eyes full of disinterest.

"Go ahead, moron. Give it your best shot."

"OH, YOU BET I WILL, BASTARD!"

I charged at too speed and jumped, releasing the ball from my grip, throwing it at him with all my might.

He smirked and blocked my shot with his ball, making me gasp in surprise. OH. NO. HE. DIDN'T! *please insert sassy tone*

He suddenly dodged me and went from behind me, and took the opportunity to throw me behind my back.

I fell down from the massive force the ball caused to my back, which was also painful.

I was lying down the groun, luckily a pair of girls went in and helped me stand up. One of them had black hair, and the other had white.

"Are you alright?" they both said in unsion. Though, no offense, I guess by looking at them, the one with the white hair is more mature than the one in black hair.

"Yeah, thanks for helping me up, unlike SOMEONE ELSE THERE WHO DIDN'T AT LEAST HELP ME UP HERE!"

Zhion just rolled his eyes and walked over to his girlfriend, who was clapping for him. Ew, gross.

The twins did introduce theirselves though. The one with white hair's Lyra, and black hair's Lyca.

"Hey, wanna walk home together with me, Grodella, Bill, Alec and Elisa? Please say yes, I don't want to be the only ones who doesn't have a couple or something. Well, do you, guys have someone?"

They both shook their head.

"Nope, never have."

"And we'd love to join you!"

"Great, it's settled then! See you guys later after classes."

I took my uniform and smiled to myself as they ran to their lockers.

I just made two friends again, huh?
