RILEY

I breathed hard.

I was too harsh!

I shouldn’t have!

I panted sitting down in my car seat with my head on my steering wheel.

I bit the steering wheel continuously with my fist.

Why does he have to remind me of dancing?

Why?

Its killing me so much!

I scoffed driving off when I saw him coming towards me making a call.

I don’t want to ever see him again!

I really don’t want to!

I drove home…..

I hate songs!

I hate music!

I hate dances!

I hate everything relating to dancing!

I hate them!

And what’s he trying to do?

To make me dance?

I churned in anger!

Is he trying to mock me?

What’s he trying to do?

Is he that a blockhead?

I drove faster to my house and in the next ten minutes,

I was home.

I climbed out of my car after I had parked it inside my garage and turned the car off.

I hurried into my house and straight to my room trying to calm myself down but I can’t!

I just can’t!

I held onto my head and my hair felt so soft in my hands.

I held onto them and ruffled them as it shook until it became unhevelled on my head.

I paced about the whole room,

Calm down.

Just calm down.

He meant no harm!

He was just…

Being what?… My other self flared up.

I closed my eyes briefly and everything passed through my mind like it was repeating itself again.

A tear dropped to my face and I found myself lying on my bed and soon I slept off…

Three hours later,

“Hey! “A tap on my leg,

“Hey! ”

“Riley”a shook on my shoulder,

“Riley wake up”a tugged at my hair.

“Riley, your phone is ringing ”

“Riley”tap continued until I opened my eyes and yawned before sitting up on the bed.

“Riley”the call persisted and I looked around for the caller to see Ella,

“Oh… What’s it? “I asked in sleepy voice rubbing my eyes,

“Your phone had been ringing for the past two hours now “she reported while I reached out for my phone,

Unknown number,

Was written boldly in front of my phone screen,

I looked up to her face,

“Did you pick my call? ”

She nodded.

“And who the hell was that? ”

She chuckled.

“He said… ”

“A he?? “I interrupted looking into my phone screen again before I transferred my gaze to her face,

“Yes…”

“What’s his name? “I asked wondering whom it might be.

“Carson, his name is Carson and am… ”

I scoffed interrupting her by walking out on her with my phone.

How did he get my number?

Why will he call me?

To tell me what?

Is high time he knows his place around me.

Tch!

I went straight to my kitchen where I got a bottle of water from the fridge and poured myself a glass of water.

I drank from the glass and gulped belching softly afterwards.

Ella came in after me sighing,

“Is he the Carson I know?

I mean the one that… ”

“Yes, what’s it? ”

“Whoa? “She exclaimed chuckling while I turned to look at her.

“What? “I asked and she shrugged.

“Everyone kept saying how good he’s at playing guitar and piano….

He’s really good and being Riele’s friend… ”

Chapter closed!

Riele’s friend have soiled the whole nice words.

Krrrr!

I walked out on her going to my living room.

I heard her steps as she followed me from behind.

“What? “I suddenly turned to look at her,

“Can you stop being rude?

At least, towards me and hear me out! ”

“What do you have to say? “I kinda yelled backand she heaved,

“For Christ sake!

Stop being rude?

Okay?

Don’t walk out on me again!

I know… ”

“Ella… Please,

I don’t want to talk about anyone,

Please”I dismissed her coldly and her mouth was open just as she wanted to talk and I stopped her from doing so.

I sighed shaking my head as I went into my room to prepare for the library.

I heaved.

I was harsh again!

To Ella of all people!

I shouldn’t have.

I really shouldn’t have being that angry with her!

She walked into my room standing with her hands crossed under her chest,

“No matter how harsh you’re going to be,

I’m going to tell you what he told me…. ”

“Ella I told you…. “I interrupted but she was quick to snatch the words away from me,

“He said that he’s sorry if he upsets you that much!

And he’s waiting for you at that spot at the bridge where he met you many months ago!

That’s what he said with a please at every end of his words! ”

She yelled or rather snapped hissing and then walked out of my room.

And how’s he sure that I might want to come there?

He’s really $illy!

I’m not going anywhere!

Tch!

But…

He said sorry.

He said that didn’t he?

And he said PLEASE too,

He’s really a blockhead!

Evening

CARSON

Waiting for three hours straight without her coming made me give up hope of her coming.

Maybe I’m really going to go for Riele’s house party.

I don’t want to go.

I really don’t want to but it seems like I’m going after all.

I grumbled and turned to leave after watching most of the beautiful sceneries on my sight.

I suddenly saw her,

My eyes lit up on seeing her,

She walked towards me and stood without speaking to me.

Neither did I have anything to say either,

“I’m sorry “I mumbled and she turned to look at me,

“Its fine “she smiled and looked away,

I loved the way she looks tonight.

Her flayed short gown made her look like a real ballerina.

Her feet clothed in a pair of long boothe made her legs look sxy.

Her hair packed into a pony tail made her neck look so revealing.

She’s really looking beautiful tonight.

“You know… “I began clearing my throat and thinking of something suitable to say to her.

“What? ”

“There’s a popular song… ”

“Don’t talk to me about songs”

“Just hold on and let me finish before you get angry about songs”I assured and she looked at me with ho..rrific eyes,

“Just don’t talk about it”she grinned and looked at the guitar I was carrying all these time.

“You called me out here to sing and… ”

“No! Its not what you think! “I defended shaking my head and dropping the guitar to the floor,

I intentionally let the guitar hit on my leg and I gasped in pain.

“Ouch! “I screamed jumping about in pain,

“What’s wrong? “She asked in fright while I ignored her faking my pain,

With my face all creased up and my limping on one leg,

I saw the fright in her eyes and face,

“Are you okay? “She asked in a worried voice,

I sat down on the ground blowing on my leg while she squatted infront of me.

“You shouldn’t have come with that!

Always carrying that about and you can’t play it! “She fired at me.

“I can! ”

“How?

By hurting yourself with it?

The last time I checked,

You almost disabled my leg with it! ”

“Your leg was already disabled already! ”

“Shut up!!!! “She yelled in a very loud voice and we both fell silent.

Only our breaths were heard.

I know she might be annoying sometimes but she’s kinda cute when she nags.

She touched my leg and I whimpered.

She felt the surface of the spot I wounded and gasped,

“Its getting swollen all because of your carelessness! ”

“I’m better off you who carelessly got into an accident and got your legs damaged! ”

“Shut up!

What do you know?! “She yelled painfully.

I didn’t know the gravity of what I said until I saw the hot pain in her eyes.

“Just shut up! “She yelled the more and I regretted saying that to her.

Silence between us,

A song popped into my head,

The song I wanted to tell her about earlier,

Marshmello’s song—-Happier but she never gave me the chance to talk about it.

“?Baby,
I’ve been… I’ve been thinking… I want you to be happier.

?I want you to be happier….

?When the morning comes, Let me see what we’ve become… “I stopped staring at her,

Her calm face,

“When did you hear that?

Who sang that? ”

“Marshmello”I whispered and she smirked.

“Its really good and you have a good voice “she mumbled and I smiled broadly.

“You like it? “I asked and she scoffed.

“I can sing it if you want me to… ”

Buzz… Buzzz… Buzz… Her phone vibrated,

She checked it and then,

“Carson,

I have to go now! “She said in a terrified voice,

“What’s wrong? ”

She didn’t reply me as she ran away ,

The distressed sound in her voice tormented me that I had to run after her…..
