Riley pov

"Mmmm it's giving scary movie. If you be one of those white people that fall to the ground and start crawling backwards I will literally stop being your friend" I heard Oliver say and looked up to see him looking at my phone

I rolled my eyes and pushed him making him bump into Micheal who quickly caught him

Oliver looked at Micheal and smirked, "I'm falling, please do not help me up"

"I'm straight but it was smooth" Micheal laughed

"They all say that til they see the size of my dick" Oliver retorted

A blush formed on Micheal pale cheeks and I heard Aliyah laughing

I rolled my eyes again.

"Get me something to eat too, I'll be back" I told Aliyah and turned before she could ask any questions

I didn't even both with Oliver since he was flirting with Micheal

I walked out of the cafeteria and opened my phone back up

-Me
Who is this?

-Unknown
Take a guess

I started to type but my phone was swiftly snatched from my hand

"Hey-" I started to yell and looked up

It was Jenny and she started to read the messages

"Secrets? Since when did we have secrets between each other?" She asked with a hurt expression

"It's not like that, Jenny. Can I have my phone back please" I begged, desperate so I can find out who this creep is

"Tell me what the secret is" she said holding my phone to her side

We heard clicking come down the hall and both of our head turned. It was the principal.

"Just give it back" I reached for it but she put it behind her back

"Something wrong ladies?" Mrs. Ainsley asked, pulling her black glasses over her head and settling them in her hair

I looked at Jenny pleading, already knowing the gears were turning in her head

She didn't spear me a glance as she turned to Mrs. Ainsley

"I was just trying to get Riley off her phone as I had caught her texting in the middle of the hallway" she said and held out my phone in front of her

My heart dropped and so did my head

"Oh is that right, Miss Kessler" I could feel Mrs. Ainsley eyeing me. "Well thank you for telling me and you Miss Ford can come get this back from my office at the end of the day. Have a good day ladies." Mrs. Ainsley said while walking away, I could hear her heels fading the further away she got

"Why would you do that?" I asked, finally lifting my head up to face Jenny

"Friends don't keep secrets from each other"

"Friends also don't do that to each other"

I was getting angrier by the second. I get it, friends don't keep secrets especially the secret I have but that text could have been about anything.

I had a couple of bad things in my past and it could've been about those. I don't know but now I had to wait 5 more hours just to fucking find out

Jenny shrugged, "It is what it is"

"What the fuck-" I shouted in her face then took a deep breathe before storming off

I went to my favorite class. Mr. David

Everytime I had gotten mad, sad, or even just lonely I came here and he always made me feel better. He was like a second father to me.

I pushed open his door and let it slam behind me

"Whose is slamming my door- woah whats wrong, Riley" Mr. David asking and stood up from his desk

"It's just- fuck Jenny- why would she-" I stuttered, my anger showing more

"Deep breaths" he put his hands on my shoulder. "Follow me. Inhale, exhale, inhale, yup just like that, exhale"

When I finally calmed down he pulled me into a hug and i broke down into tears

I had never fought with Jenny like that.

I knew keeping secrets was bad but how she acted was out of line.

"Tell me about it" he said when I pulled back

He pulled a seat beside his rolling chair and ushered me to sit down.

I took a deep breath and started telling him what happened- leaving out details of what the secret was but still telling him about the message

"But don't tell the school I'm technically getting threatened" I added after finishing up.

Even though it wasn't a clear threat seeing as the unknown texter didn't say anything along the lines of "Do this or I'll tell everybody your secret" but eventually it would probably come down to that

"Wow" he said shocked. "I do feel that Jenny was in the wrong for reacting like that but you do have to understand she just found out her friend was keeping a secret from her"

"But if I found out she was keeping a secret from me I wouldn't react like that! I'd try to talk it out and if I saw she didn't want to tell me I wouldn't pressure her to. I wouldn't give the principal her phone or tell her mom just because I was mad she didn't want to tell me" I paused, feeling myself getting upset again. "If it's a secret that means it's one for a reason. She should respect that"

"That is true." The 50 year old man stratched his dark gray beard with a concentrated look on his face

The bell rung before he could get a word out of his mouth

"Could you email my drafting teacher, Mr. Bill. I don't want to see Jenny at all since she have all pathway classes with me"

Me and Jenny met in the same pathway classes. We both picked drafting, health care science, and physical education.

I didn't want to see her for the rest of the day.

[Who you think the unknown texter is? Is Riley in the wrong for keeping a secret or is Jenny for reacting that way? I honestly wasn't even gonna add that argument I jus felt like being petty today 🤣]
