Purple Moon

"Ring Ring" the bell rung for school to be dismissed.

I got up with my tray and left the room and rushed to go back to the cafeteria in order to put my tray up. As I was walking through the hallway, I seen Riley walking down the same hallway and I shouted his name to get his attention. He looked up from his phone and he meet my eye. He rushed over to me then looked down at my tray and laughed.

"So how was the first day of school? In lunch detention? With Miss Madison?" Riley wiggled his eyes.

I laughed out loud.

"Eww! It's not even like that." I said, truthfully.

He shrugged and we entered the cafeteria. I walked over to the garbage can and dumped my food in the trash and I walked over to the line and put my tray back up with the other stacks. The lunch room was empty besides a few lunch ladies and men, cleaning up after us teenagers.

I turned to Riley who was waiting for me at the doors to the hallway, I caught up to him and we walked to our lockers, mind you lunch is on the first floor and our lockers is on the fourth.

"So how was your first day?" I asked Riley.

He looked at me and smiled.

"Actually it was great besides going over the rules, like we already know them. They act like it's our very first time in school, were not kinder-gardens or in pre-school, we are 17 years old." He rushed out and said.

I laughed at his little rant. We kept walking up the stairs and reached the fourth floor and while we was Riley accidentally bumped into some girl. She had short black hair and her skin tone was like caramel candy, she had hazel eyes and a mole above her eyebrow. Riley looked up at her and it seemed like they was staring for forever. I rolled my eyes at them. Riley seemed to come back to reality.

"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Riley asked the girl.

The girl was way shorter than me and compared to Riley she seems like a little kid. Riley was about 5' 8 and the girl was about 5'2. I was taller than her I was 5'5. She seemed like a midget compared to us.

The girl looks at him and smils shyly.

"No, um I'm okay. How about you?" She asks him.

He stared at her.

"No I'm great." He said.

I coughed. Only to break this little sexual attraction in the air, that I didn't want to be around at all. They both snapped out of their little daze and turns to me. I smiled at the girl and turn back to Riley. I gave him a look. He nods his head and turns to the girl.

"I'm sorry again and bye." He said trying to hide his sadness but failing terribly.

She smiled and waved bye. We continue to walk up the stairs and went through the doors that leads to our lockers.

"Well that was interesting." I chuckled while walking.

Kids was walking our way, rushing to go home to relax and hang with friends.

I seen a ghost smile creep up on Riley's face. I shook my head and rushed to my locker as well as everyone else. I finally reached my locker and grabbed my belongings. Honestly I was ready for school to be over with already. Once I closed my locker, Riley popped up next to me.

"What's up lover boy?" I laughed.

He gave me a look and I laughed even harder. He starts to walk off.

"Oh come on!" I chuckled.

I ran to catch up to him and linked my arms into his. We walked down all 4 flights of stairs to get to the main entrance. It took 5 minutes just to get down to the first level and then another 3 minutes because people want to take all damn day.
We left the school buildings, buses was parked by the curb, while students got inside or they walk out to get in their own cars and pulled off. The sun was out and shining down on us, it was hot as hell though.
