Riley's POV:
"We've waited so damn long.
We're sick and tired." I sang. Later, about 1 minute of the song, many people started applauding me. I finished up the song and picked up my hat. YES! I had made exactly $60.32! Yeah, I know it's not that much but it'll work for now.
Oh, sorry I haven't formally introduced myself. My name is Riley Burns. I have light blue/periwinkle colored hair and I have big green eyes.
Trust me, it wasn't my plan to perform for tips. It sorta just happened! My mom kicked me out of the house though I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm 17 and I don't really have a good job.
To be honest, I'm doing great and I'm in highschool so I don't have big money problems but, I do kinda live on the streets. No, I'm not poor, just struggling. My dream is to get famous so I can show every person who ever doubted me that even less fortunate people can be cool.
Cliché, I know but I'm serious! My career is my boyfriend. What? That doesn't count? Well, I guess I'm single. For now I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up my friend.
Well, time to go 'home'. I walked over to my pathetic excuse for a house. It's just a big tree. I climbed onto it and laid down on a thick branch.
I usually don't sleep on the tree I usually sleep under the tree. I'm saving up for an apartment.Wow, I'm tired. I slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
I woke up to find a squirrel looking at me square in the face. I screamed and flailed my arms falling out of the tree. This is how I usually wake up in the mornings. I ran down the hill and towards my high school. Here comes hell.
I found my friends talking by the lockers. "Hey guys!" I grinned. They smiled and said hey. They're the only ones who know about my money problem.
We started talking about Graduation when the most bitchy girl in school walked towards us. Laila Bennetts. "Speaking of the devil." I growled.
"Oh how sweet, the Reynolds High Misfits." She teased. My friend, Crystal stopped leaning on the lockers and shoved Laila. "Get lost." Crystal spat. Laila sashayed away. I high-fived Crystal and hugged her.
My friends were the only reason I came to school to be honest. We were like a gang. Crystal was the tough one, Finn was the kind one, I was the leader, Amy was the smart one, and Tyler was the Athletic/Funny one.
The bell rang shortly after our mini celebration. I ran to my first class which was, Drama. Apparently we were gonna have a play soon. Ugh, Romeo and Juliet. "Ok, so who wants to try out for Juliet?" Mrs.Wendall, my teacher, asked. Immediately Laila stood up. I rolled my eyes. "Ok, so does anyone want to go against Laila?" Mrs.Wendall asked.
"Please, no one will go against moi!" Laila smirked. Mrs.Wendall scolded her. Finn raised his hand. "Mrs.Wendall, Riley is too shy to raise her hand but she wants to try out for Juliet!" Finn grinned. I glared at him. "Oh, that's wonderful Riley!!!" Mrs.Wendall gushed. I frowned and stood up to get my script.
After I collected my script I looked over them. Wow, Juliet has a lot of lines. "Laila, you're up first!" Mrs.Wendall commanded. Laila smirked and stood up. "Now Laila, only say the verse you picked out." Mrs.Wendall continued.
"My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late!" Laila breathed dramatically. I rolled my eyes.
"Outstanding choice!" Mrs.Wendall applauded. "So I get the part!" Laila giggled. "Actually, I still have to go." I stated. Laila narrowed her eyes but stayed silent.
I took a deep breath then walked onto stage. "Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins." I recited, every word filled with passion.
Everyone in the auditorium just stared. Then applause exploded from everyone. I pinched myself thinking this was a dream. "Riley....that was beautiful! The part is yours!" Mrs.Wendall smiled. My eyes widened, I got the part of Juliet! Yes!!!! I did it!
The bell rang, signaling it was time to go. I ran out of class. "Wait, um..Riley would you like to come over to my house?" Finn asked catching up to me. I hesitated but nodded. So after school I headed over to his house. It's pretty great.
Who am I kidding? I LOVE IT! We sat down on the couch and started watching TV. Suddenly, a commercial came on. Four guys appeared on the screen and might I say, they are cute. "We're 5 Seconds of Summer!" They said together. "Who are they?" I asked Finn. "Just some Australian band called 5 Seconds of Summer." He replied.
My eyes traveled back to the TV. "We're coming to New York for our tour!" The boy with a lip ring announced. I smiled slightly. I glanced at the clock. 11:00 o'clock! "I gotta go, Finn." I mumbled getting up. "WAIT!" He yelled. I raised an eyebrow and sat back down. Finn blushed and cleared his throat.
"You can stay here tonight." He smiled. I agreed and laid on the couch. Finn shook his head then picked me up bridal style. I giggled and shrieked.
Finn dumped me in his bed then climbed in. As I drifted off to sleep I felt Finn put his arm around me. What?
I awoke to the smell of bacon. BACON!!! I raced out of bed and into Finn's kitchen. "Is that...bacon?!?" I screamed. Finn smirked then nodded. I stared hungrily at the food placed in front of me. "Go ahead and dig in." Finn grinned.
I grabbed a fist full of bacon and gobbled it down. In a matter of minutes all bacon was gone. Finn then placed a stack of pancakes in front of me. Have I landed in food heaven?
I ate pancakes quickly then got up and hugged Finn tightly. "Thank you..." I whispered. Finn smiled sheepishly. "No problem but can you head to the store for me? I still have to eat." He asked. I nodded then got on my shoes then raced out the house.
I bought eggs and bacon and much more food. As I was walking across the street a car came speeding my way. 'Move!' My brain yelled at me but my body didn't listen. The car crashed into my body. I crumpled to the ground and tried to focus my vision on the person climbing out the car.
He had blonde hair and a lip ring. Wait, what?!? His eyes widen and he screamed a bunch of words but I couldn't hear him. I faded into the darkness and passed out.
