Love or Friendship

Chapter 32

[Riley's POV]

Its already pass 9pm and Di hasn't come back yet. I tried texting and calling her again but as usual, no answer.

"Riley..."

I looked up and saw Tyler with a worried expression on his face.

"What's up?"

He held up a phone. I was a bit confused but when I looked closely to the phone he was holding up I immediately recognized it. I suddenly stood up and looked at him.

"We.... we better look for her."

I nervously, worrily said to Tyler.

As we were about to get out of their house the front door suddenly opened.

"Connor?"

Connor looked to my way and smiled.

"I knew you'd still be here."
"Why are you here?"

He showed me a smirk which got me really confused. He fully opened the door and then I noticed someone behind him.

A girl?

"Who's with you Con?"

I asked him. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Di because the girl has... i don't know... maybe a red hair? I couldn't really tell.

"Why are you hiding behind my back? Show yourself to them."

He softly said to the girl behind his back.

It took her about a minute or two to face us. She smiled at us shyly and couldn't really look at us. I looked at her thinking if I know her. Somehow she looks so familiar to me. Then slowly I thought...

"Ri..."

I slightly faced Tyler.

"She... she looks so familiar."

He whispered.

I again looked at the girl. It's impossible but...

"Diane???"

Tyler suddenly said confusedly.

She smiled and laughed. Then Connor laughed as well.

No...

Way...

"Is it really you Di?"

Tyler asked again.

She nodded.

"Oh my God. Who did this to you?! What have they done to you?!"

He said while approaching Di to hug her.

"Will you stop, Ty. I did this to myself."

She laughingly said.

Tyler looked at her face again then hugged her so tight.

"You colored your hair then changed your eye color by yourself?! Di whyyyyyyyy?!?!?!"

Di pushed him a little and slightly hit him on his arm.

"No, I didn't colored my hair by myself, and these are contact lenses. I didn't change my eye color. Silly."

She started walking towards the living room and Tyler followed her still questioning to what she did to herself.

I looked at Connor and he slightly laughed at me.

"Believe me I was surprised as you when I saw her."
"Why did she..."
"Graded contact lenses and pampered herself."
"She looks like her but not really her."
"I know, I know. *laughs* Anyway, I better get going. I'll just let mom and dad know you're here."
