Chapter 3

I fumbled for my key in my pocket.

“Shit!” I whispered to myself.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Riley’s number. Ringggggg Ringggggg

“Hello?” He answered.

“Now I remember why I gave you the extra key.” I said

Riley laughed

“I’ll be right over.” 

I sat on my porch and waited for Riley. I kept replaying those words in my head. 

“Could he actually be gay?” I thought to myself

I heard footsteps which kind of brought me back to reality.

“What are you going to do in college Cara?” 

“Shut up.” I said unamused

Riley opened my door dramatically. 

“Anything else?” Riley asked

“I’m good Smartass, Thanks though.” I said jokingly 

I watched Riley walk home... well mainly I just stared at his ass the whole time. I shut the door behind me and ran up stairs. It was about 3:45.

“Was I seriously at the beach for 5 five Hours?!” I questioned myself. I felt the ground underneath me shake. 

“Great.” I mumbled

Noah was home from work. Which meant the sibling rivalry begin. I don’t know why Noah couldn’t just act like a 17 year old. Instead he had to act like a 10 year old who could drive. Which is another thing he rubbed in my face. I walked down stairs to find Noah drinking out of the milk carton. 

“Grow up!” I scoffed

“In your dreams sis.” Noah Replied “Where are you going.”

“To Riley’s.. Why?” I asked

“Just cause Mom isn’t here doesn’t mean you can have a sleepover with your boytoy.”

I hated when he called Riley that, Now more then ever.

“Actually I can.” I replied Confidently. “Remember your party.”

“Shit!” Noah growled. “Have fun with Riley.”

“Thank you!” I replied

“What about his dad though?” Noah Asked

“Business trip.” I replied as I walked out the door. I checked my pockets for my key. For the first time it was actually there. I headed towards Riley’s house. Riley opened the door as if on cue.

“Welcome.” Riley said giggling 

I walked inside slipping off my shoes. Riley wandered off to the kitchen while I headed to the basement. I set my bag down in the corner and plopped down on the bed. I was soon joined by Riley.

“You still seem pretty freaked about the whole gay thing.” Riley pointed out

“Its just so hard to believe.” I admitted “Every girl in the school wants you and you find none of them attractive.”

Riley laughed. “Maybe its just a phase.”

“Who was the last girl you found attractive?” I asked

“I think we have had enough confessions for the day. Riley said

“Whats that supposed to mean?” 

“Well.” He said “It was Sophie Raines.”

“Don’t lie!” I said laughing

He laughed too

“Fine it was you.”

“What?!” 

Riley glared at me.

“Don’t pretend you didn’t know.”

“I didn’t.” I replied

Riley looked at me. There was that damn lip biting again. “He’s Gay!” I kept saying in my mind. Not even that made him unattractive
