who are you really?

Wait What Really?

"Hey Amelia. Wake up. Its Riley" 

What the hell was she doing I was in no mood to speak to her, why was she waking me up?

"What do you want" I mumbled.

"I need to speak to you about what happened yesterday but I have class so I need to tell you now"

"I don't care if you're sleeping with him. You can do whatever you want."

"What? No I'm not sleeping with him." Riley said clearly confused.

"Wait really?" 

"Yeah that's why I was waking you up because I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"I mean I'm fine I just thought- since you were with him in the dark room yesterday."

"He was just helping me with something for film class we don't like each other like that."

"Ohhh ok that makes sense I guess" I said kind of relieved.

So they weren't hooking up. Well this is embarrassing.

"I need to go to class Amelia. I'll see you soon." Riley said as she left the room.

I finished getting ready for class and left my dorm. I wonder what Caleb thought I was thinking. 

"Amelia! Hey Amelia is that you" A voice called from behind me.

Oh my gosh It was him.

"Hey wait up please, just wait."

"Hi Caleb" I said. "You don't need to say anything Amelia already explained everything."

"Oh ok good I didn't want you to think that there was anything weird going on between us"

"Why?" I asked

"Why what." 

"Why is it so important to you that I know you don't like Riley?"

"I don't know" he said.

"Are you sure?" I was determined to get a decent answer from him. I was done with him playing these mind games with me.

"I don't maybe its just-I don't"

"Whatever it doesn't matter to me if you like Riley, you can date her or sleep with I really don't care okay."

Do I care?

"Well fine Amelia I got to get to class. You definitely seemed to care yesterday."

Did he just say that? Had he seen me crying? None of this makes any sense. He was about to say something to me, I could feel it. What was stopping him? What happened yesterday wasn't going to happen again. I'm not gonna get involved with him its not worth it. But I can't help but wonder if there was a reason I cared so much yesterday.

I finally made it to class. As I walked in I saw Candy waving to me. I walked over to her and sat down. She was saving a seat for me.

"How are you feeling today?" She asked.

"I'm doing pretty good how about you?"

"I'm okay, did you speak Caleb again"

Why was she asking me about Caleb I just wanted to forget about him.

"No haven't spoken to him yet" I lied. I knew I shouldn't being lying to my only friend but I really just didn't want to think about him.

After class Candy asked if I wanted to grab lunch. I said yes and we made our way to Chipotle.

 On the way there she told me about how she grew up in a small apartment with her mom and two brothers. She said that because her mom was always working she mainly raised her brothers. She said that she had to work extra hard in school to get a scholarship. I really admire her for that.

We finally got there. You'll never guess who was sitting in the dining room. Riley and Caleb.

"Hi Amelia!" Riley said.

"Do you know her?" Candy asked.

"Yeah she's my roommate, how do you know her?"

"Do you remember that story I told you about in the bathroom?"

"Yeah."

"Thats her"

"Oh wow"

"Hey Riley" said Candy.

"Oh hi I didn't realize that you knew Amelia"

"We take theater together" Candy said clearly annoyed.

"Hey Amelia" said Caleb.

I had forgotten her was there. 

"You guys should eat with us" Riley said.

"I don't know" Me and Candy said to each other at the same time. We looked at each other and smiled.

Riley seemed to notice and said, "Are you guys here together?"

"No" I said and sat down across to Caleb. Candy looked at me confused but then also sat down.
