The Ride Home (ON HOLD)

Chapter 31

      Shelby's Point of View

    I don't remember that address meaning anything. So I decided to search it.

LordHill Park...

LordHill Park?

What is at LordHill Park? I can't remember the park being apart of anything... I'll just have to go and find out. Tomorrow is September 26 so if I'm going to go I need to be prepared. I need to be mentally and emotionally prepared just in case the one thing I'm dreading the most, happens. 

I decided to try something new before to get my mind off of tomorrow. I went to a spin class. Like an actual spin class. Bikes that don't go anywhere, extremely fit people everywhere.

I was texting Lola when the spin instructor finally got here. WHo looks very young might I add. His name is Riley. He has blond has that is slicked back and then comes to the front again. Sort of like a wave. He has blue-green eyes that remind me of an iridescent pastel green. I guess you could say.  He was wearing blue gym shorts and a gray muscle tee that said Harvard on it.

He reminded me of an old friend I had in middle school and high school named Brandon. They really do look extremely similar almost like identical twins.

~*~**~*~~*

After the spin class, Riley came up to me before I left.

"Hello," he said after standing there awkwardly for about two minutes.

"Uh, Hi"

"I'm sorry this is stupid. But you like my old friend I had as a kid."

"It might not be stupid because I was actually thinking the same about you"

"Oh, Well I'm...R...Riley Brandon"

"I'm Shelby. I'm a little confused is your name Riley or Brandon?"

"It's Riley Brandon, my last name is Brandon. I used to go by my last name because I thought I didn't look like a Riley. You know?"

"Wait... So your name is Riley. Okay. I have one question."

"Ok, shoot."

"What middle school and high school did you go to?"

"Um... Thompson Middle School"

"And high school?"

"Oh, I think it was called Middletown High School North, I'm not exactly sure."

"ME TOO! I..I mean I went to both of those schools too. I don't think you remember me."

"Wait, Shelby? Like Shelby Grace!?"

"Yeah, that's me."

All of a sudden I was engulfed in a hug by Brandon, I mean Riley. He then lowered me back to the ground after our hug.

"You've shrunk. I swear you've shrunk."

"Or you've gotten taller."

"Right that too," Riley then checked the time "I should really get going, are you going to come back tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow I have plans, but maybe Thursday."

"Okay, I'm going to be teaching a class on Thursday if you want to come."

"Sounds fun I'll have to think about." We exchanged numbers and left.
