Chapter 2: Riley Baker

I entered to see two empty sits at the back of the class and took one. I was happy to see that i had a whole desk which was meant for two people for myself and started getting out my stuff with a smile which quickly vanished like it never existed when i saw Riley baker enter the class. I looked around the class franctically to search for any other empty sits but there was known apart from the one next to me so we were going to be desk mates. How cliché

Our families hate each other right so just thinking about the fact that we are house neighbors, locker neighbors and now chair neighbors or whatever they say, makes me so mad and worried at the same time. I wonder if i will be able to successfully ignore him again this year

But then i remembered my horoscope prediction of the day, 'The one you have been avoiding might be the one for you, so don't be scared to give them a chance...'

What am i suppose to do now? Those horoscope predictions was about love and that was the only reason i usually listened to them. Since I broke up with my ex boyfriend i badly wanted to be in a relationship even though all my relationships have been failures. I have not had a lot of boyfriends, just about 3 and all we ever did was make out and my body freaking wanted to experience more. I am 17 and sexually frustrated, like most the teens my age okay. God knew how much i craved someone's touch but that someone can't be a baker, why with a baker? Seriously!?

He sat next to me and the literature teacher entered just after and started the class.

This class was not what i imagined for my first day this year. It was a total mess, i was a total mess! We didn't say a single word to each other, of course. He only read his book and copied the notes given by the teacher, so naturally and calmly as though my presence next to him didn't affect him the least. Main while inside and outside of me was chaos, i couldn't stop looking at his black jeans holding his thick thights and the way his black shirt hugged his broad chest. his slightly tanned skin, dark blonde messy hairs and ocean blue eyes. His defined jawline, massive hands and long fingers, Oh God those hands!. Every part of his body was eye catching which made my eyes difficult to leave his body. And i couldn't care less whether he noticed or caught me staring or not

I couldn't concentrate too much on what the teacher was saying. In fact i wasn't concentrated at all

it was really rare for him to be this close to me. When we were in 6th grade we used to fight all the time, well i used to beat him whenever he stood next to me, looked too much at me or talked to me because we just don't like each other like the rest of our family members. I stopped questioning why and just went with the flow so did he

Through out the years we just ignored each other and he went from a skinny short nerd to a tall hot and sexy guy every girls wanted to date and guys wanted to be, who is also the capitaine of the football team. And that is just fucking annoying beacause through out the years i didn't change that much. I wasn't too ugly nor too beautiful. I wasn't the type of girl to be bullied nor was i bullying. I wasn't that stupid even though Dove keeps on telling me I am. But i was good with not changing. That just means that i am

... How do they say? an authentic person right?.

"Ms Murphy, are you with us? Why aren't you copying the notes?" I heard Mme Price ask me. I was just so lost in my thoughts that I couldn't keep up

"Um, i am sorry Mme, i got lost" I said with the most polite tone i could muster

"Then get found" A voice i knew too well said and everyone laughed. It was greg stewart, a looser

"Calm dowm everyone" Mme price said and they stopped laughing just like that, if it was another teacher no one will have been so obedient

"You can just copy from Mr. Baker's book and next time concentrate. This is the first day of school you have to give a good impression of yourself" She said, a good impression, alright

"Okay ma'am" i said before she started back her lecture. I looked at Riley's book and couldn't see what he was writing because his hand was covering it and i didn't want to ask him to shift his book. My ego was just too high for that. But surprisingly he shifted it himself for me to copy and i wanted to thank him until he said

"Don't thank me, i am not doing this for you" Okay jerk. I said internally trying to ignore his low sexy voice. Anyways what did i expect we were enemies. Short after the bell rang signalling the end of the class, he packed his bag and left me his book

"Give it back to me when you will be done" he said looking directly into my eyes and i almost blushed infront of him. How embarassing

I nodded, he looked at me for seconds more, seconds which weren't needed, seconds who made me ask myself if he was checking me out or waited for me to say something. I was about to speak when he suddenly turned around and left, oh okay

Not giving too much thoughts to it i packed my bag in a rush then went to my next class which was with Dove. Thank god i didn't have to worry about who sat next to me.

During lunch Bryan, Dove and I sat together and started our usual gossip talk which was hard for me to keep up as i couldn't remove my eyes from Riley and his gorgeous smile

He was sitting with his friends. One of the popular groups of the school which were composed of him plus four other guys from the football team and some girls. They were considered the hottest and were role models for younger ones but i couldn't understand what younger ones saw in them. For me they were just a bunch of loosers trapped in hot bodies, even though at eye sight my friends and i were typically what you think of when talking about loosers

"There is t-this guy in my c-class who asked me to do his h-homework" Dove said making me look at her

"And what did you say?" i asked hoping that she didn't say yes but i knew her too well to know she did

"Umm y-yes"

"Why? They are just using you because they know you can't say no" Bryan said frowning

"Why will i? P-plus the homework isn't that h-hard though i am already d-done with mine just have to r-recopy"

"But you never want to help me though" I said because why will she help some other guy and say no to me her own friend?

"Because y-you are my friend. I want you to learn, i will not be a g-good friend if i have good n-notes and you c-can't have them by yourself" Ah yeah, maybe. Whatever. Anyways which insane teacher gives homework on the first day! That is wild. Thank god i am not offering that class

My friends conversation quickly became a background music in my head when i saw Riley and his groupe getting up to leave. I've never checked him out this much, i swear like even never! Because of that stupid horoscope prediction i keep on thinking about what if i actually ask him out? He will probably say no because we are enemies. But i could still try, my horoscope predictions never failed me and if the one i have been avoiding was actually the one for me then it is time i make a move. Right?
