"Hey, Riley!'

"Um... who are you?"

"I sit next to you in English?"

"Hmm.. Nope, never noticed."

"Oh, it's OK, people have that all the time."

"What do you want?"

"To be your friend."

"I don't want a friend, go away."

"Oh, cut the bullshit, you want a friend and you know it."

Riley sighed. The girl was pretty likeable. She didn't know anyone who actually wanted to be her friend and she thought she might just give it a try..

"You're creepy."

"Creepily amazing."

Riley laughed. "Not as amazing as me."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Riley found her first and, eventually, best friend.

5:43 p.m

Isn't it lovely, all alone? Heart made of glass, my mind of stone...

Cole

"Cole?"

"Yeah?"

"I made a friend. I don't make usually friends."

"Um... Cookie, I'm offended."

"And I'm Riley."

"Okay, Cookie, whatever you say."

"..."

"Good. I'm happy for you, cookie," he whispered.
