You're Joking...Right?

RILEY'S POV
We finished school early, so Jack picked Ally and I up, then drove us to his, Quintin's, and Donovan's college.

"Welcome to your boyfriends' campus." Jack said.

"Thanks." We laughed.

When we got out of the car, Quintin jogged up to us and him and Jack did a handshake. He hugged us, then we talked as we walked, but my attention was caught by a conversation that a few girls were having near us.

"Donovan is so hot!" One gushed.

"I know, but I bet he's going after Kristie." The other whined.

Ally elbowed me as if to ask if I heard what they were saying and I nodded.

"You both know that all he ever wants to do is fuck. Everyone knows that Donovan Bowman is not the relationship type." The third said.

I felt anger boiling up towards both the girls and Donovan.

"Didn't you fuck him?" The first sneered.

"Yeah." The girl giggled.

Jack and Quintin had no idea what was going in since they were in their own conversation with a few guys that came up to them. As I continued to listen, we saw Donovan with a group of people on a field and they were talking as they tossed a football around. I watched as the girls there practically drooled over him, then one girl came up, hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Kristie!" One of the guys greeted.

"Hey, boys." She giggled as she remained attached to Donovan.

"Get it, Don." Another guy cheered as Donovan laughed and hugged her back.

Ally and I gave each other a look, then decided not to go up to him. I caught his glance, but ignored it, then he stopped laughing with his friends.

"Riley!" He called with a smile.

I looked away, then kept walking.

"You're a stone-cold bitch." Ally giggled.

"I know." I laughed.

"Yo, Ri, Donovan's trying to get your attention." Jack said.

"I know."

"Aren't you gonna go to him?"

"Why would I?"

"Isn't he your-"

"Jack." Ally said in a warning tone.

"Oops."

We joined in on the conversation, then someone grabbed my shoulder and I turned to see Donovan.

"I was calling you." He said.

I gave him a look, but he seemed confused.

"Go back to Kristie."

"What? Are you serious? She's just a friend, Babe." He said.

"Don't call me that."

"You two go talk. We'll be here waiting." Quintin said.

DONOVAN'S POV
I dragged her off to a more private area and found her attitude amusing.

"Babe, I'm just helping her make her ex jealous." I told her.

"Sure." She sarcastically said with her signature eye roll.

"You don't trust me." I realized.

"Can you blame me?"

"Okay, I deserved that." I admitted.

"You're such a slut." She bit.

"Woah, okay, I admit that I used to sleep around, but not anymore. I'm all yours."

She sucked her teeth and looked away as she folded her arms.

"You brought this on yourself." I sighed.

I picked her up bridal style, then walked her over to my friends.

"What are you-"

"Guys, have you met Riley?" I asked as I put her down.

"Isn't she that girl from that picture with Quin?" Connor asked.

"Yup."

"She's cute." He smiled as he eyed her.

"Don't watch that. She's mine." I said.

"Woah! The wild beast has been tamed!" He laughed.

"Yup. I'll see you guys tomorrow." I laughed.

I had my arm around her shoulders as we walked back to Quin, Jack, Ally, and the others.

"That was completely unnecessary." She huffed.

"Not to me."

She rolled her eyes and shrugged my arm off her her, so I held her waist.

"No matter how much you push me away, I'm just gonna keep coming back." I said before kissing her cheek.
