•Riley's POV•
Step 1: make sure he cares.
Step 2: make sure he is reliable
Step 3: test his patience
Step 4: find out how trustworthy he really is
Step 5: slowly open up to him
"Follow me" I said walking out the library, down the steps and to the drama studio. I poked my head in the door, just to check nobody was in there. And there wasn't, so we walked inside and sat down on the edge of the stage.
"So, who are you?" James asked me once we had sat down. What does he mean?
"Like, you said your names gabriella but then you told me to call you Riley?" He explained further. Ohh that.
I shrugged and said quietly "I didn't want to tell you my real name just yet.. so I just made one up".
"Oh okay, fair enough" he smiled a little. Luckily he doesn't seem mad.
"Can you tell me more about yourself?" He asked. "Then I'll tell you about me".
I thought about that then shook my head. "You tell me about you first?"
"Okay fine" he said while laughing a little. "My names James, James Flanagan. I'm 17 And I moved to this school after being moved from my last one after misbehaving. It's kinda a long story so maybe I'll tell you about that later. Anyways, I hate school but surprisingly my grades have started to improve after moving here. Probably because I'm not with my old friends any more and haven't really connected with anyone"
Lie I thought. He connected with Beth...
"I used to Drum, and I like acting and drama. Some people would find this weird but I feel like I can tell you anything so I'll tell you, but I always wanted to learn to dance. I never learnt though and now I'm 17 It's a bit too late" he laughed a little.
"It's never to late to start" I said, while shrugging my shoulders casually. "And that's cool, I like dancin- um dancers too".
"Eh, theres 2 year olds better at dance than I am. I think I might take up drumming again since I should be able to get back into the swing of that easily enough." He smiled.
"Oh and I hate math" James laughed.
I smiled weakly "I think most people do".
"Tell me about yourself?" He asked.
I was about to speak when suddenly a girly, mocked voice said;
"Hi my names riley and I'm a slutty brat who has nothing other than self harm scars and a crappy life".
James and I both snapped our heads to look who it was at the door...
