'Riley get up!!! You are going to be late again!' I heard my brother yell
'Alright!!! I am getting up right now!' I said as I rolled out of bed
I walked over to my dresser pulling out some jeans and a T-shirt, I walked into the bathroom, clothes underneath my arm, I looked in the mirror, my light brown hair all frizzy and a mess, I Set the clothes on the counter, shutting the bathroom door, I pulled off my sweatpants, then pulled on my jeans, and then my cellphone started ringing, I walked into my room pulling the phone off the charger
'Hello?' I said answering the phone
'How are you always running late?! You don't even put makeup on or do anything to your hair!!' Brendon said yelling into my ear
'Goodmorning Brendon!!....and Sorry that I love sleeping!, but why are you calling me anyways?' I said
'So Vic and Naomi broke up.....it's a whole bunch of drama, get your ass here and I'll tell you everything' he said hanging up
They broke up.....what was I supposed to do with this information?
I ran downstairs after slipping my shirt on, I grabbed my sweater off the couch, glancing down at my wrist, the fresh new scars still tingling from a couple hours ago, I pulled the sweater on, pulling the sleeves down
'Bye fag!!!!' I said yelling my brother who was sitting on the couch
'Bye gaylord!!!!' He yelled as I ran out the door
Me and my brother had a love/hate relationship, we had been through a lot, but we only had eachother
I pulled up to the school 5 minutes later, Brendon was waiting in the parking lot, I was anxious for what he was about to tell me
'Finally!' He said as I stepped out of my car slamming the door
'I got here as quickly as I could! Calm down!' I said locking the doors
'Not quick enough!' He said laughing
'Are you going to tell me What's going on?' I said
'So supposedly Naomi cheated on Vic with Oliver!!!!' He said yelling
'And this is supposed to make me happy?' I said confused
'Um Yeah!! Vic is free to be your lover!' He said laughing
'Haven't we gone over this? He will never ever want me' I said
We were in our senior year, and I had liked Vic for almost four Years now.....pathetic I know....but he was so cool and I was so not cool.....
'He will like you!!!....you just have to make him notice you! I am coming over later and giving you a Makeover!' He said
'We need to get to class...' I said
'He will love you!!' Brendon said running down the hall into his class
I walked into class quietly sitting down in the only empty seat, which of course was next to Naomi, the first ten minutes of class she didn't say anything or even glance at me, the teacher passed out a worksheet, leaving the class to work and talk amongst ourselves
'Are you new here or something?' She said out of nowhere
'Nope, been here for three years' I said
'No need to be rude' she said rolling her eyes
'I wasn't trying to be rude' I said finishing a problem on the worksheet causing my sleeve to rolled up
'Wow' she said
'What?' I said pulling my sleeve down
'Hey everyone, emo girl over here likes to mark her skin for attention!' She said laughing
I could feel my eyes start to water as everyone laughed a long with her, I picked up my stuff, throwing it in my bag, running out of the room, tears streaming down my face, as I ran into someone
'Woah!!!! Are you okay?' I heard a guy say as he grabbed my shoulders
I looked up only to see Vic standing before me
'Uh....I'm fine....Naomi just....I'm okay' I said wiping the tears away
'You aren't okay....what did she do?....do you want to talk?' He said
'Sure....' I said
We walked outside and sat on the grass
'I'm Vic by the way' he said smiling
'I know....I mean I'm Riley....' I said blushing
'So what did my bitchy ex do?' he said
'I had to sit next to her cause I came in late...and she saw my self-harm scars.....and she yelled it out to the whole class... I just don't know why.....I don't even know her....' I said
'Hey....I'm here....I used to self-harm, I've been clean for three months, I'm Sorry Naomi is such a bully, I don't even know why I dated her....I don't want you to think I'm just saying all this, I really care, and I want to be your friend' he said smiling
'Why do you care? ,you have never noticed me before today....' I said
'Oh I've noticed you, just didn't have the balls to talk to you and Naomi didn't let me talk to anyone.....' he said
I blushed, just the idea of Vic noticing me made me feel on top of the world, if only he knew how much I liked him
'So we should probably get back to class....' I said nervously
'There is only a few minutes left, so there is no use in going back' he said smiling
Ugh that smile was to die for
My phone vibrated in my pocket, I pulled it out , it was Brendon
"MEET ME BY OUR BENCH, I HEARD WHAT'S GOING ON" -Brendon
'Something wrong?' Vic said
'I just have to good meet my bestfriend' I said standing up and started to walk away
'Wait!' He said running after me
'What?' I said looking at him
'Um....can I have your number....I mean since were friends and all' he said
'Sure' I said pulling out a pen, scribbling it on his hand and walking away
'A bit old fashioned?' He said as I walked away
I just turned and smiled
