RILEY
It's been a week since I was told about the whole Lucas situation. I still haven't told Caleb so I decided that today would be a good day to tell him since Lucas is coming in tomorrow.
I'm patiently waiting for Caleb at Topanga's. I go through my Instagram feed for a while and stalk some of my favorite youtubers.
"Hey babe," I hear my boyfriend that I liked a lot greet me.
"Hey Caleb," I smiled. "There's something I need to talk to you about something," I get serious.
"Oh no, you're breaking up with me. Look Riley-"
"Caleb I'm not breaking up with you," I interrupted him and giggle. He lets out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you lord cause I don't know what I would've done if you broke up with me," he laughs. I feel my cheeks heat up a bit.
"Anyways, so before you came to New York, I had this.....friend named Lucas Friar," I started and he nods, "and he went back to his hometown Texas and now he's coming back. Apparently, my parents had decided to have him live with us and I just thought that you should know. He comes in tomorrow." I finished explaining to him.
His eyes go big. "Lucas Friar?" He asked.
"Yes," I answered. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Well I remember hearing from numerous people that you two had a thing for a while and I don't know Riley." He replies.
"Are you okay with this?" I asked
"Not completely, but, I trust you so I'll get over it." He said while placing his hand on top of mine. I smiled.
"Thank you," I hugged him.
"Anything for you," he mumbled.
"If you want, you can come over and we can study," I invited him.
"Sure, but isn't Lucas going to be there?" He asked.
"I don't care if he's going to be there, he isn't my boyfriend, you are" I reassure him.
"Okay so see you tomorrow?" He asked.
"Si señor," I smiled. With that, I left Topanga's and went home.
The rest of the day went by in a blur I could hardly remember anything else. I just sat on my bed looking at my old photo albums and I came across of a photo me at the beach holding hands with the person holding the camera. It didn't take me that long to realize that the person was Lucas Friar.
I continued flipping through the pages of the photo album. I came across a picture my and Lucas's foreheads pressed up against each other. I'm guessing that Farkle took that photo of us. I smile at the photo.
Those were the good days
I think to myself. What am I going to say to Lucas tomorrow? Will I even talk to him tomorrow? With those thoughts in my head, I drift into sleep.
...
Today was the day. The day where I face the first guy I loved. I get out of my bed and do my hair.
I put on a dress that I had bought back when we went to Texas. I surprisingly haven't grown a lot so it still fit.
I then do my make up and go to the kitchen and find my parents getting the house ready.
"Hey guys Caleb is going to come over today so that we can study for one of our classes." I informed them.
"Okay honey, by the way Lucas will be here in about two hours so please try and keep the house clean." My mom tells me.
"Okay okay mom I promise that I won't get the house dirty." I promise her and walk back to my room. I get all my stuff ready for studying until I hear a tapping on my window.
I look over to find my brunette-haired boyfriend there waiting for me to open the window for him.
I walked over to the window and opened it up for him.
"Hey Caleb," I smiled.
"Hey Riley, you ready?" He asked.
"Yeah, let's start." I replied.
"Okay," he grabbed out flash cards "what does the word 'jugar' mean?" He said reading the card.
"It means to play," I answered.
"Correct," flipped over to the next card, "how do you say 'how old are you?'"
"¿Cuantos años tienes?" I say unsure.
"Correct!" He said. We kept on going and going. It was the same until he read one card.
"What does 'te amo' mean?" He asked smirking.
"I don't think that's on the test," I looked down blushing.
"I know, but it's true I do love you," he says while grabbing me hand. I'm just staring at him thinking of what to say. Just as I'm about to say something, my door opens and reveals the first boy I loved.
"Hey Riley I'm here and now I can-" he stops when he sees Caleb and I. "Oh sorry I didn't know you had someone over." He apologizes.
"Um actually Lucas we were just finishing up. Lucas this is Caleb and Caleb this is Lucas Friar. Caleb is my boyfriend." I say looking at him.
"Nice to meet you Caleb," Lucas says holding out a hand for Caleb to shake.
"You too Friar," he says and shakes his hand. "I'll call you later Riley," he says and kisses my cheek.
"Okay," I smiled and he walked out my window. Then there was only Lucas and I in my room now. I take this time to look at him. He has the same green eyes, the same dirty blonde hair that he had in middle school.
"I'm sorry Riley I should've knocked." He apologizes.
"No it's fine Lucas you didn't know." I tell him.
"You look......good," he complements me.
"Uh thanks you don't look bad yourself," I complement him back.
"Thanks," he says.
"So are you going to give me your explanation now?" I ask him.
"Yeah but first can I get a hug? I haven't seen you in a long time and I want to remember what it feels like to have you in my arms," he says. As much as I want to say Yes Lucas and while I'm in your arms we can get back together, I couldn't I'm happy with Caleb.
"Well if I remember correctly, it your choice to leave and not see me in a long time," I said sitting down.
"Okay so I can see that you're still upset about that," he said.
"What do you expect Lucas? You left Zay. You left Farkle. You left Maya. You left me. Did you think that you would just walk in my room and I would just forget everything and forgive you? Well I didn't so yes Lucas, I am still upset about that." I snap.
His face just goes blank. I felt bad for snapping at him like that so I walk up and hugged him.
"Look I'm sorry, but you were the one that left and it just hurt me a lot," I say while hugging him.
"I known princess. I am truly sorry about it, I was stupid." He apologizes. Princess. I've missed that nickname.
"It's okay, it's just it going to take me a while to process all this," I say and break the hug.
"I'm fine with that," he smiled.
