Bullied

Chapter 8

James POV

When I got home from school I made sure to text Riley cause I gave her my phone number a couple days ago. A couple minutes later I get a text back from Riley.

R: I think I know where that is... What time do you want me to be there at?

J: Around 1?

R: Sounds good see you then!

Riley's POV

When I got home from school I was really mad about Michelle, I mean I thought I had made some friends but I guess not. I got a text from James and i decided to read it, I had to meet him at his house at 1, and it didn't seem to far to walk there.
•••••

The next day it was 12:30 p.m. And I wanted to give myself sometime to walk there so I told my parents I was going to James' and they were fine with that as long as I was back by 9.
When I'm about halfway I look at the address James gave me again and from my knowledge I think he lives by the lake.

R: You live by the lake right?
I got a response right away.
J: Yeah, See you in a bit.

I finally get to his neighbourhood and there are a ton of big houses, I completely forgot about this area.

I find James' house number and his house was huge! It was a brick house with two levels. I walked up too his door and rang the doorbell. Seconds later a little kid answers the door, probably James' siblings.

"Who are you?" The little girl asks.

"My name is Riley, is James here?"

"Yes he is, one second."
I see her run away into the house and call for James. A couple seconds later James comes.

"Hey." I say

"You can come in." He says.

I step in, and look around a bit.

"Here follow me."

James takes me into the hall and up a set of stairs and takes me to his room.

"My parents just stepped out, you can meet them later."

James' POV

Around dinner me and Riley head downstairs to eat.

"James I'm assuming this is Riley?" My mom asks.

"Yes..."

"Hi... What do you want me to call you?" Riley asks nervously.

"You can call me Kathleen." My mom says.

"And you can call me Jeff." My dad says.

We sit down at the table and start to eat, my mom made a big dinner so we had Turkey, Potatoes, and vegetables.

"So Riley, what grade are you in?" My mom asks.

"12, as James." Riley says.

"That's nice, and how is school?"

"Uhm, could we not talk about school maybe?" Riley says and I could tell she was bothered.

"Well why not?" My mom asks.

"James, where is your washroom? Riley asks me.

"Once your out of here just turn a left down the hallway and it should be your first door on your right."

Once she leaves I yell at my parents but not too loud cause Riley was right around the corner.

"You blew it already." I yelled.

"Well sorry James... Is she failing school or something?" My mom says.

"I can't believe you!" I get out of my chair and what for Riley.

Later in the evening around 7 I check my phone and I notice an alert on my phone for a bad thunder storm.

"Um... Riley?" I ask.

"Yes?"

"I just got an alert on my phone for a bad thunderstorm." I say

"Oh... Well should I leave now before it comes?"

I was just about to talk when I hear a loud sound and I know it's thunder, Riley starts to become nervous and starts pacing around and I know this isn't going to be good.
