Chapter 9: Jack's Back
I woke up and saw Riley just leaning against the border of the pool and was making something.
"Hey Riley." I said to him while brushing my hair.
"Hey Reef." He said quietly while not looking up.
"Riley, what's wrong?" I asked. He put his thing that he was working on, in the sand. He looked up.
"I'll tell you what's wrong. That you were hanging out with Red." Riley said while giving me a backstabbed look.
"I was trying to be friendly. I'm sorry if that upset you." I said with sincerity. He scoffed.
"Yeah, you practically took my friend away for yourself." He said. Those words slapped me in the face.
"I just showed him around." I defended. He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah you did. You also showed him the Trident!" Riley spat out. How did he know?
"I CAN'T BE KIND TO ANOTHER PERSON THEN!!!" I shouted.
"NO! ESPECIALLY IF THAT USED TO BE ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS!!! YOU ONLY DID THAT BECAUSE YOU LOST YOUR ONLY FRIEND THAT YOU HURT BY RUNNING AWAY AND MADE UP WITH JUST BECAUSE HE WENT TO TAKE CARE OF HIS POD!!!!! YOU ALSO DID THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE DESPERATE!!! DESPERATE FOR FRIENDS!!!!!" Riley shouted back. I felt tears in my eyes. I thought Riley was my friend.
"I..I thought you were my friend." I said quietly.
"You thought wrong! Who would want to be friends with you anyways?! I made the wrong decision of trusting and defending you!" He shot back. I turned around. I couldn't let him see me cry.
"Also you are weak. Very weak." Riley added.
"I thought you were better than this, but I guess I was wrong." I said calmly and quietly. I dived under and swam to Bruce's house.
Once I got there, I walked in and found him, drinking a cup of coffee while reading the newspaper. I sighed and sat down in an empty chair. Then I began to cry. Bruce looked up and saw me.
"What's wrong Reef?" Bruce asked.
"Riley hates m-me!" I said.
"He suddenly blew up on me!" I added. Bruce sighed.
"Riley has a problem. He has a disorder." Bruce said. I raised my eyebrow.
"Disorder?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yeah, bipolar disorder." Bruce added. I gave him a confused look.
"Mood changes." He said.
"Ohhh." I said. That made me feel a little better. I decided to go to the juice bar. I saw Heather hugging Jack. I raised my eyebrow. Then I saw Heather had on a moon ring. I walked over there and pulled on Heather's hair as hard as I can. She yelped in pain. She turned around. I gave her my death stare.
"Why did you do that?" she asked. I roller my eyes. I grabbed her arm and pointed to the moon ring. She raised her eyebrow.
"My ring?" she asked. I nodded.
"Why?" She asked again. I showed her my moon ring. She gasped.
"How?" she asked.
"That doesn't matter. But I told Jack not to give you the ring." I explained. She gave me a confused look.
"Why?" Heather asked. I sighed. Well, here goes my big mouth.
"I'll tell you, but you MUST NOT TELL ANYONE about it." I said. She held out her pinky. I raised my eyebrow.
"Pinky promise?" she said. I held out my pinky.
"Pinky promise." I said. Well, here goes nothing.
