Riley went downstairs to dinner when her mom called them. She sat down as they were being served hamburgers with french fries. "How was your day, hunny?" Mrs. George asked her daughter. "Good- mom, a couple girls wants me to come over... study group, is that alright?" She asked after chewing a bite of her burger up. "Sure, honey. Who is it?" She asked. "Tiffany, Brenda, and Carly. They are the ones I went shopping with earlier." She asked, popping a french fry in her mouth. "Okay, is Alex joining?" She asked curiously. "Oh, um, no. Just us, why?" She asked. "You always study with Alex." She asked with a frown.

"I know, Mom, but he can't be my study partner forever." She asked, shrugging. Her mom narrowed her eyes at her as she stood at the foot of the steps to call for Alex before returning to the dinner table. "Mom, I think I'm done." She said, taking another bite of her burger and taking a gulp of water. Riley went to go upstairs and stopped at Alex's bedroom. She poked her head in. "Dinner is ready- mom's calling you." She said before going into her own bedroom. She picked up her phone and opened her messages and laid back on her bed.

She had a message from Tiffany asking if she was going to school tomorrow.

[i]Riley: Of course- why wouldn't I?
Tiffany: We're skipping, join us?
Riley: IDK...
Tiffany: C'mon, u wanna fit in, rite?
Riley: Ok.. I will..
Tiffany: Great, we will pick you up![/i]

After sending the last message, she rolled over and yawned before going to sleep.
