Behind the mask

Chapter 1

Riley's POV

I hear knocking on my door, and Tom enters my room.

"If you're gonna enter without asking, then what's the point in knocking , you idiot." I frown at Tom.

"I don't care. I'm just here to tell you that the Tubs and the Ranbster are coming over tomorrow morning and they are staying here for a week, so stay out of our way."

I stop whatever I'm doing "W-wait Ranboo's coming AND staying here for a whole week?" 

"Didn't you hear me? I know you're a Ranboo stan but don't make it weird alright?" He says, in a threatening voice. 

"Shut the fuck up. I'm not a stan, alright?" I try to sound confident.

"Well, we both know the truth. Just don't be too awkward." He leaves and I have a sudden urge to slap him. 

I make a mental note to put my drawing books, that are filled with Ranboo fanart, away before tomorrow. 

Next day

I wake up at 6:00am the next day, and quickly have a bath and put on my favorite royal blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I clean my room and sprinkle it with my favorite perfume. 

As I go downstairs, I notice that literally no one is awake, so I make myself some pancakes. Betty is chilling in the kitchen, so I sit besides her and pat her.

"Hey Betty. Who's a good girl? You are!" I say in a silly voice, as I give her a treat. I know I'm not supposed to have favorites, but Betty is easily the sweetest dog we've ever had. I believe in Betty supremacy. Just Walter doesn't need to know that.

Its almost 7am and I'm gonna be honest, I thought Toby and Ranboo would be here by now. I hear footsteps and assume that mum is awake by now, but instead Tom comes down the stairs.

"Hey." I say, but he straight up ignores me, so I throw a pillow at him to get his attention. 

"I said 'hey'" I repeat myself. 

"You look all dressed up." He smirks, as he sits on the dining table, and I give him some pancakes.

"I don't know what you mean...I always dress like this. By the way, I wanted to ask you, you haven't told Ranboo that I'm a stan or anything, right?" I ask nervously. 

He snickered, "Not yet. I'm going to tell him in front of you."

"NO! Please no." I beg him.

"Chill, I'm just kidding. I'm not that big of a dick."

I sigh with relief and try to hide a smile. 

I'm about to take a few more pancakes, when I hear a faint honk.

Tom grins, "they're here."
