Riley's POV
I woke up to my phone ringing. I groaned and searched the bed for it and I finally found it answered it putting it to my ear.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey, it's Corey." The person said. I rubbed my eye.
"Oh, hey, what's up?" I asked sitting up more.
"Not much, I just woke up. What are you up to today?" He asked.
"Not sure. I just woke up myself." I said.
"Wanna hang out?" He asked.
"Sure." I said.
"I should warn you though, the girls will be here." He said. I sighed.
"Okay. I'm gonna get ready and I'll be over." I said.
"We're all going to be in the pool. So, wear a bathing suit." He said.
"You got it." I said and hung up. I groaned and got out of bed and went and brushed my teeth and showered. I dried off and left my hair the way it was. I got dressed in my black bikini and I made sure it looked good. I put on a pair of jean short shorts and a tank top. I put on my flip flops and grabbed my bag, keys and phone. I walked out of my room and out of my apartment to my car and I got in and I started it and drove off.

I got to Corey's house and parked outside the gate and texted Corey.
Riley: Hey, I'm outside the gate. Come open up!
I went through all my texts waiting on Corey. I heard the gate open and I looked up and saw Corey opened it. I drove in and parked behind Corey. I got out and locked my car. He pulled me into a hug and pulled away.
"Before we go in there, I think you should know I spoke to the girls." He said.
"And?" I asked.
"They definitely don't like you." He said. I sighed and we walked in. We walked upstairs to his room and I set my bag and keys on the bed and I stripped to my bikini. "Whoa." Was all that came out of Corey's mouth. He was staring at me.
"Let's go out to the back." I said and we walked out and downstairs and outback. I left my flip flops in the room. Everyone turned to us once Corey shut the door. The guys smiled to me and said hey. The girls were just talking to themselves. We got in the pool and stayed off to the side away from everyone else.
"I'm gonna go inside and get a drink. Want anything?" He asked.
"I'm good, thanks." I said. He nodded and got out. The girls were sitting at the bar that was in the back. I got out and walked over to them. They immediately stopped talking. I assume they were talking about me. "Can I ask y'all something?" I asked, my accent coming out thick.
"What?" Clarissa asked.
"Why do you guys hate me? I didn't do anything wrong." I said.
"Corey and Devyn were close to getting back together and then he met you. Devyn is a chill girl. We just don't simply like you because you stole Devyn from him." Amanda said.
"I didn't steal anyone from anyone. Corey and I are just friends." I said. "What can I do to get y'all to like me?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just not gonna happen." Kat said.
"You don't even know me though." I said.
"And we don't want to know you." Clarissa said. I sighed and walked back over to the chairs on the other side of the pool. I sat on one of the chairs and went onto Snapchat and I snapped a picture of the guys and I posted it with the caption "Hanging with the gang." I locked my phone and sat there. Corey came over to me.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Not really. The girls told me why they don't like me." I said.
"Which is why?" He asked.
"Because I apparently I 'stole' you away from that Devyn girl." I said.
"We're just friends though." He said.
"That's what I'm saying." I said. He sighed.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"I want them to like me." I said. He sighed and rubbed my arm.
"It'll be okay." He said. I got up and jumped into the deep end and when I surfaced I pushed my hair back. Corey jumped in and came over to me. "I mean, even though you didn't steal me from Devyn, it doesn't mean I don't think you're not cute. Because you are definitely cute." He said causing me to blush. He smiled to himself.
"Corey, I have to be honest with you." I said.
"What's up?" He asked wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I never really had a boyfriend before. Everyone just played me." I said.
"I'm surprised by that. You're a beautiful and funny girl." He said and kissed my head. I smiled a little.
"I just never found the right guy for me." I said.
"Hey, you probably already have." He said. I smiled and swam away from him and got out of the pool. I grabbed my towel and dried off.
"I think I've had enough of the pool." I said to Corey. He nodded. I took my towel and laid it in the grass and I laid on top of it and closed my eyes and started to tan.

Corey and I were making dinner for everyone and I gotta say it's fun. Once we finished making dinner we served everyone and took them their plates. I sat on the couch beside Corey and ate as we were all watching a movie. I finished eating and got up and walked into the kitchen and I washed my plate and fork.
"Riley?" I heard someone ask. I looked over and saw Amanda.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Can we talk?" She asked.
"Sure." I said drying off my hands.
"Don't take what we said to heart okay? We didn't mean it." She said.
"You guys said you hated me due to the fact that I stole Corey from Devyn. I never stole him from anyone." I said.
"They're just mad and made me go along with them." She said. "I think you're an awesome person." She said before walking back into the movie room. I walked back in and sat next to Corey and leaned on him and fell asleep. At least Amanda likes me.
