He didn’t want to label them as a couple because he didn’t believe in giving into the ‘social norms set up by a biased society’. In high school, Mark Jameson caught her fancy by his rebel attitude and aloof demeanor. She broke up with him and laughed when he asked for help with math. It was sweet, until he laughed in her face about the thought of her liking computers. She waited for him after basketball practice every Monday and Thursday, and after a week he was her first kiss.
In middle school, Aaron Lewis started writing her ‘love notes’ in class. That relationship came to an abrupt halt when she discovered he called Lucy Harris a ‘ fat pig’, so she took the rest of his lunch and shared with Lucy. That was her first indication that he would make a wonderful boyfriend. In first grade, Michael Rogers slyly unwrapped his cheese sandwich and left half on her desk. Riley’s had boyfriends in the past, but nothing serious. The realization that Billy was her first serious relationship struck her with such finality, her boots stuttered slightly along the pristine floors. I guess this is how I deal with being broken up with. Her confused feelings were squeezed in a knot and buried beneath layers of insecurities that she wasn’t ready to deal with yet. Trapping her hands within the oversized pocket of her hoodie, she scrunched the wire of headphones between her fingers trying to ease the growing anxiety within her stomach. The blaring music traveling from her earphones created a protective bubble from the outside world as Riley moved through the corridors of Phoenix. Post-break up a time when people drown themselves in copious amounts of ice-cream and alcohol to wipe their memory clean of any resemblance of the traumatic event. She should be feeling something at this stage, right?
