Not Another Cinderella Story

Chapter 2

Shakily I sat myself down in front of a wide eyed Riley, after getting over half my nerves I told myself id finally do it. I saw him sitting at a table half an hour earlier then id said, and here I was. It was a window seat showing off the surroundings of the area and it gave of a perfect view other then Riley sitting at the other end of the table scowling at me.

“uhh this seat is taken” he said quietly after recovering from a little shock, he looked down at his phone as if typing a message

“yeah, sorry I know” I said handing him the booklet of paper which happened to be my science project, better get it over and done with, see unlike others, I got straight to the point I did not dwell otherwise I got even more nervous and never did it.

With a surprised look he didn’t say anything just opened the booklet and started reading. Not even a minute after reading his expression turned as if he was ready to kill, run, run, run. But I stayed his eyes locked with mine and boy was he mad. My hands started trembling but I hide it under the table. I could feel the tension building between us, I needed to distract myself before I ran off. I found myself staring him straight in the eyes, he was adorable but mad as hell and suddenly I regretted everything. Not the part of telling him the truth but the part of actually doing it.

“what the actual f*ck” he hissed leaning in quietly finally cutting of the huge ball of silence that seemed to grow between us.

“I know, I know. Let me explain” I pleaded, now I knew why everyone was so afraid of him, he actually looked as if he could pull out a gun and shoot me a dozen times without flinching.

“how the f*ck are you supposed to explain” he shouted and with that the rest of the café had turned to view the commotion, I gave him a pleading look to hopefully calm him down and seemingly it might’ve worked, Slowly he let out a slow breath and sighed running his fingers through his hair. Just a tad cute.

“im so sorry.” I blurted out “it wasn’t supposed to go that way. I wanna make it up to you please. Im sorry” I repeated

“how can you so easily play with someones feelings like that.” He stated looking me in the eyes, he actually looked hurt, the cold hearted guy I always thought he was looked hurt. And to make me feel worse it was all my fault.

“im sorry” I whispered “if it makes you feel better. I feel horrible” and he chuckled dangerously.

“that’s how you’re supposed to feel” he said simply looking away for a second shaking his head “I cant believe you’d do this” he chuckled again meeting my gaze, Then just as though nothing had happened he leaned back and rested his head on his arms and begun smirking at me.

“what” I found myself blushing.

“this is pathetic.” He chuckled standing up and walking out, just like that.

Wait what.

“Riley” I called up running after him

“Chloe.” He sighed, he knew my name?! how?! “ive got places to be, people to meet” then just like that he was gone. And I was left standing their all alone. Quickly I went to inbox him but retreated telling myself id do it later on MY facebook account.

That went easier then I actually thought. But knowing Riley it wasn’t over. But I was relieved id told him and it was all cleared up but I also hated myself for getting distracted but it helped.

Suddenly I got an inbox on my facebook from Riley himself.

Riley- No-one will know of this.Kapesh.

Me- I promise i wont tell a soul. And again im sorry.

He never replied even though he’d seen the message, I hate when people do that.

I went home feeling a little shaken up and fell straight asleep I know it was only 5 in the afternoon but today had shaken me up soo much id lost all my energy.
