The bad boy and me

Cove's POV
It's the next day and right now we're walking into school. Today I'm wearing a blue jumpsuit with daisies on it, and some white shoes. I left my hair down in its natural waves and put on some mascara.

Once we go to my class, River and I parted ways and I sat down at my desk. It's kinda become a routine now, River walks me to my classes every morning and whenever he has the class before with me.

As I was waiting for the teacher to come in, a girl that I've become pretty good acquaintances with came to my desk. Her name is Riley and she has long pretty black hair.

"Hi Cove!" She greeted a little too enthusiastically. I looked up and smiled
at her, saying a gentle good morning.

"Sooo, rumor has it somebody's birthday is coming up," she beamed while wiggling her eyebrows.

Ahh, here we go. My birthday is on Sunday, which is actually really soon come to think of it. I guess I've just too busy to notice, last time I checked it was still 2 weeks away.

"Yeah, I guess it's only two days away now," I replied nonchalantly, making Riley scowl.

"Oh c'mon girl, it's your SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY! Don't you want to do something special?" She exclaimed.

I once again shrugged it off and looked back down at my desk. I'm not a big birthday kind of gal, I'd rather keep it on the down low and hangout with a few friends, maybe even go out for dinner but that's all.

Riley rolled her eyes, but luckily the teacher came in before she could continue to pester me about it.

The next few classes flew by and it's now time for lunch. I decided to wait for River by his locker, not wanting a repeat of what happened last time.

As I was waiting, Leah came up to me with a huge grin plastered on her face. Oh boy, here we go again.

"Cooovvvee," she leaned against the locker beside me. I gave her a what-the-heck-do-you-want-this-time look, making my disinterest clear.

"Oh don't be like that, can't a girl be exited for your BIRTHDAY?" She practically yelled the last part. I playfully rolled my eyes before turning to face her.

"Leah, you already know that I don't like to do much on my birthday, I just want to-" I was cut off by a different voice.

"Birthday, what birthday? Is it your birthday Cove?" River questioned as he went to stand behind me. Oh lord, now we got River involved.

"Yeah, my birthday is coming this Sunday," I tried to play it off as nonchalantly as possible, but the two beaming humans standing beside me made it nearly impossible.

"What!? Why haven't you told River yet? It's like you don't want anyone to know!" Leah scolded. Umm yeah, the goal was for no one to know. But now that's not going to happen.

"Cove, why didn't you tell me," River gasped. I looked up at him with the most innocent eyes I could muster to cover up all of my guilt.

"I just wanted to keep it on the down low," I "pouted," sticking my lip out for extra effect.

River had a quick inner debate with himself before sighing and gently leading me out to our spot by my hand.

"Baby, how am I supposed to plan anything out now?" He asked as we sat down. I sighed deeply while coming up with a response.

"That's the point, I don't want anything big. I just want to hangout with my parents in the morning, then maybe go birthday shopping with some friends or you," I rambled.
