“Thanks, babe.” I settled opposite her and took the
sandwich she offered. It was our thing. Sometimes, I would
buy her lunch, and other days, she’d return the favor.
“So, what exactly do you need help with in Math?” I
munched on my cold sandwich and watched Riley pout.
“Everything,” she mumbled, pouting even harder. “It
makes no sense to me! The only genius who can help me is
you.”
I raised an eyebrow at her. “Why do I have a feeling this
friendship is only one-sided?”
“Bitch, yes, I’m using you for your abilities to teach me
Math.”
It was a lie; we both knew that. Riley and I stared at
each other for a second before we chuckled.
We became friends during junior year, after Jasper –
another football star of Berkshire Academy -- broke her
heart. That was a tamed way of putting it. They dated for
six months; he was the perfect gentleman at first. When
she finally gave him her virginity, he broke up with her two
days later. She later found out Jasper had been cheating on
her all along, and he only dated her to win a stupid bet. He
spent the rest of the year spreading stupid rumors about
her. She lost her cheerleader friends and sweet Riley…?
She became another outcast. I was there and watched her
crumble – going from Miss Popular to a nobody.
What happens when outcast number one meets outcast
number two? Of course, they became best friends. I was
the new student, and Riley was my first friend. It was a
done deal.
“So… I heard whispers in the hallway,” she started,
eyeing me closely.
“Huh?”
“About a girl who dumped coffee on Maddox Coulter this
morning.” Riley left the sentence hanging before taking
another bite of her sandwich.
