A/N-- Hey Guys! So I'm back really fast. This would've been up yesterday as promised, but I finished the chapter late, and I needed my editor to upload first. I would've had it up earlier today also, but I had cheerleading practice. I told you guys that I probably wouldn't upload on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this is the exception! :) Hope you enjoy..

Recap:
“You obviously don't have the mental capacity to think on your toes.” I said matter-of-factly.
“Wow Riley, that's nice.”
“What?” I asked, genuinely confused.
“It's nice to hear what you really think about me.”
“What?” I repeated, starting to sit up on my bed.
“Nothing, I'm just going to head out.”
“Wait, Sterling! I was just joking.” But before I could even leave my bed, he was already out the door.
What did I do?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sterling running out the house left me feeling completely befuddled. He had to know that I was joking! I would never just openly insult him like that. Does he really think I'm that mean? Is that what he thinks of me? That I'm a mean little bitch?!? Trying to sleep was futile; I had too much on my mind to actually indulge in the act.
The next morning I woke up feeling more tired than I did when I went to bed. I had a restless sleep. I kept twisting and turning, because I couldn't get Sterling's accusation out of my mind. Did he really think I would say something like that, AND MEAN IT?!?
When I got to school, I frantically searched the hall for Sterling. After a few minutes of unsuccessful searching, I went to my locker. Ella was already there waiting for me.
“Hey girly, had a rough night?”
“Yeah, how could you tell?”
“You kind of look like the grim reaper.” She said hesitantly
“You’re the second person to tell me that in less than 24 hours, I need to have a self evaluation.”
“Better have one quick, seems like Sterling's coming this way for a little morning sugar!”
“Shut up, Ella. We're just friends.” Even though I said the words, I still opened my locker and proceeded to check myself out. I had dark circles under my eyes, my hair was in a messy ponytail, and I had a pimple approaching my left cheek, but other than that, I didn't look terrible.
“Here are your notes-”
“We need to tal-”
Sterling and I started, simultaneously.
“I came over here to give Ella her notes back. Thanks for letting me borrowing them. It has come to my attention that I'm not smart enough to actually use my own notes, because they were written by me, the idiot. But here's your notebook back, Ella.” Without even a look my way, Sterling turned around and walked away.
“Whoa,” Ella started, as soon as Sterling was out of ear shot, “what was that all about? Did you guys have an argument? Did you call him stupid or something?”
