-JOSH-
I pulled away from Ria as soon as I realized what she was doing. She smiled sweetly and blew me a kiss.
"What did you do?!" I nearly yelled, wide-eyed.
"I kissed you, Josh!" She said giddily.
I shook my head in disbelief. "I made it clear that I don't like you in that way! What were you thinking?"
"I thought you'd realize your feelings for me if I kissed you." She said, like this was all my fault.
"I don't even know what to say anymore. Just give me some time to clear my head." I walked off, ignoring her screams of protest.
Just then, I got a message.

oh whatever, the point is that you're in trouble for forgetting about meI groaned internally. I set up the trap for myself. Of course she's reading this over Riley's shoulder, they do everything together.
I'll just deal with it when it comes.
I walked over to the parking lot, running a hand through my hair in frustration.
Girls are so confusing.

I knocked on the door, but it just swung open. I couldn't see anybody.
Weird.
I shrugged to myself and walked in slowly.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a marbles moving, books falling, and then... a bucket falling?
