WANNA BET

The next day, I went to school and caught a glimpse of Ryder with his friends Dylan and Jacob. He came early. That’s weird. I walked over to my table and didn’t make a move to talk to him. Even if he called, I don’t want to discuss anything that happened yesterday.

I took a seat and waited for Pearl. Whatever happened, whether it’s good or bad, I will share it with Pearl. I can’t keep something about my life out of her knowledge.

“Riley, can you come here a minute?” I heard someone’s voice. To be exact, a boy. There’s no Riley in our class. Who cares?...
