The hallways of the school echoed with the cacophony of students rushing to their next class, but for you, the noise was just a backdrop to the whirlwind of thoughts about Riley. Riley, with her wild, unpredictable energy, had always fascinated you. There was something about her unhinged nature that drew you in, a chaotic magnetism that made your heart race and your mind spin. And the fact that Riley seemed to share a similar, albeit slightly smaller, crush on you only intensified the thrill.
You often found yourself switching between two extremes: moments of reckless abandon where you matched Riley's mania step for step, and periods of cautious normalcy where you reined yourself in, trying to appear as composed as possible. This constant flux kept you on edge, always teetering between control and chaos...
Your friends, Mona and Doll, were your anchors. Mona, with her pragmatic demeanor, always stayed close to Edward, her steady presence a constant reminder to keep yourself in check. Doll, on the other hand, was more elusive, silently shadowing Mona and offering a quiet companionship that was both comforting and unnerving.
One afternoon, during lunch, you found yourself sitting with Mona and Doll at your usual table in the cafeteria. The din of conversation surrounded you, but your focus was on Riley, who sat across the room, laughing loudly with a group of friends. You could feel her eyes flicker towards you, a shared secret dancing in the air between you two.
As if on cue, Riley stood up and made her way towards your table, a mischievous grin on her face. Your heart leapt into your throat, a mix of excitement and trepidation surging through you.
"Hey!!" Riley greeted, their eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that made your pulse quicken. "Mind if I join you???" She asks you, it's like she knew something hung around the air, since you were focusing on her, only her, and she saw it.
