Riley's POV

I woke up on Monday January 15. Wait,this isnt a diary. Well, I woke up today. My birthday.

"JAKE! STOP JUMPING ON MY BED," I screamed at my little brother. "But it your birthday! I've gotta make it special!"

I sighed. "Well, get off."

He got off of my bed, and left. I stood up and went to my bathroom and took a shower.

I washed my hair and shaved, then got out. I wrapped a towel around my body, then took out my hair dryer. I dried my hair, then brushed it.

I took out my curling wand, and put curls on the tips of my hair. I then took out my makeup bag, and put some foundation on. I put some powder on after that, then my bronzer.

"RI! I NEED HELP," I heard Jake yell. I groaned. "What?"

He opened the door somehow, and motioned towards his pants. "Mom fucking dried them in the drier. Now they're tight. I can't get them off!"

I stifled a laugh. "Oh my god."

I then remembered that I was still in a towel. "Wear them to school, and we'll see after school right now IVE gotta get ready."

He walked out, and I locked the door.

I went back to the sink, and then put on some blush, but you can't really see it. I then put on some brown eyeshadow, light, and eyeliner.

"MOOOOM! I NEED HELP," I heard Jake yell. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

I
Finally put on my mascara, and was done.

I walked out of my bathroom and went to my closet.

I picked out a pink sparkly dress. Ew. No. I grabbed a blue dress with a skull on it, and smiled. Perfect. I grabbed a light blue jean jacket, and a light pink bag. I put on some pearl jewelry, and walked out of my room.

"Jake! The bus'll be here any minute now, let go!"

I ran out of the door, and to the stop. Jake was right behind me. Wow, there are a lot of people here right now..

I saw Connor mobbed by a crowd, and sighed. Fans.

I walked up closer, and he saw me. "RI," He screamed, turning everyone's attention towards me. I got some glares, but a lot of people smiled. I walked up a bit further, and he hugged me.

"Guys! It's her birthday today!"

They all wished me happy birthday, then leaved. "Well.."

"Ignore that," Connor said. I laughed. I looked up the hill, and saw that the bus was
Coming, so I grabbed Jakes and Connors hand, and got onto the bus when it stopped.

I let go of Jakes, but kept Connors.

I looked around. Where to sit... THERE! I walked over to an empty seat and sat down with Connor next to me.

"So, happy birthday Riles," He said to me. I smiled and looked up. "Thanks."

I took out my phone and started playing music. No Control, by One Direction started playing.

I mumbled the lyrics. "Waking up, beside you im a loaded gun, I can't contain this anymore, I'm all yours I've got no control, no, CONTROL!"

I looked up and put the window, and saw that we were here. I turned towards Connor to see him on his phone.

The bus parked, and I pressed play to my other song. American Idiot cover by 5 Seconds of Summer.

I stood up and so did Connor. I looked around and saw Charity waiting at the front entrance to the school. Why is it always her? I mean, I'd rather have an aggressive elephant that hasn't had food and kills people stand there then Charity.

I grabbed Connors hand, and we walked off. I took one headphone out.

"Hey, Con, can we do something later? I don't have anything to do," I told him. "It's your birthday! Why aren't you doing anything?"

I frowned. "My moms sick again, in the hospital, and Jake is over at my dads," I told him. He nodded.

"I'm sorry," He told me. I smiled. "It's fine."

He walked with me to my locker, and waited while I got my stuff to leave. He grabbed onto my hand again, and we walked over to his first class. Today is day B. We have no classes together in B day. Only A and C day.

"Bye," I said, pulling him into a tight hug. "Bye."

He walked in while I walked across the hall to my class.

*^*^*^*

I walked out of my last period and went to my locker. Long long LOOONG day.

I got to my locker and opened it. I took the rag, and wiped off all of those words. 'Ugly' or 'fat' and 'whore'. I teared up, but sucked it in. They're just words.

I heard someone clear their throat, and turned around. Connor.

"Hey!"

He smiled. "I forgot to give you your birthday present," He told me. He was holding his hands right behind his back so I couldn't see them.

"Awe, you didn't have to get me anything," I said turning around to shut my locker. I turned back around to see Connor holding out two slips of paper. I took them, and read what it said.

Oh. My. God. ONE DIRECTION TICKETS!

I screamed so loud, everyone turned towards me. "OH MY GOD, CONNOR! YOU DIDNT HAVE TO," I yelled hugging him tight. "Just look at which row."

I looked down. "FRONT ROW? OH MY GOD IM GOING TO SEE ONE DIRECTION!"

I started to cry, and grabbed onto Connor again. In pretty sure everyone was watching, but I was too happy to care.

He held onto me while walking outside. I was clinging onto his side crying. "You didn't have-have to Con.. I mean-I mean don't take them b..back," I said to him. We went across the street to Jakes school, and went to the office. People gave me looks because I was crying, but some of
The guys were staring at me all thirsty like.

I grabbed onto Connors hand, and waited for Jake to come out.

I heard someone clear their throat. "Hey, my names Will," a guy told me. I cocked an eyebrow. "Umm, hi?"

"I was just wondering if you're free this Saturday?"

"You're in the 8th grade. In a senior on high school. Sorry," I told him. He walked off to his friends who were laughing at him.

I looked back over to the 7th grade hall, and saw Jake coming out.

"Jake," I yelled causing everyone's attention on me. I grabbed onto him and hugged him. "Well you're in a happy mood, what happened," He asked.

I laughed. He looked up at me, and I guess he noticed I was crying. "Connor got me One Direction tickets for my birthday," I told him squealing afterward.

He rolled his eyes. I laughed and grabbed back onto Connors hand, while walking out.
