"So what did you do at lunch?" Niall asks me, leaning over from his desk. "Or more like who did you do?" He laughs, causing Riley to choke on air.

"What are you talking about? I had detention I already told you."

"Yeah, sure you did. Then explain to me why your t shirt is now ripped and there's a twig in your hair." He leans over removing the stick and throwing it on the floor.

Oh shit.

"Yeah Harry, where were you?" Riley asks biting the inside of her cheek trying to hide her smug smile. "Your jeans look dirty too."

Oh she wants to play games again? She thinks she's funny.

"I don't know what you're talking about either, you disappeared too, I text you to ask if you wanted to get lunch and you never replied."

"Yeah Riley. Where did you go?" I turn towards her, tapping my fingers on the table waiting for an answer.

"I met my mom for lunch, we don't really spend much time together because she's always working."

Wow she's really good at lying. Even I believed that for a second.

"So where were you Styles?" Niall pesters on trying to get any type of information from me, but it's definitely not going to work.

"I'll tell you later." I say just trying to get him off my back. Riley glances at me and I shake my head just to reassure her that I won't actually tell him the truth, she lightly smiles at me before focusing all her attention back to the teacher.

"Why can't you tell me now?" Niall still won't drop it. "You're not doing Vicky again are you? I thought that shipped sailed."

"Fuck no!" I shout a little too loud and everyone turns their heads to look at me.

"Mr Styles and Mr Horan, up-to your usual antics I see. I'm starting to think you like detention so I'll gladly see you back here at the end of the day." Miss Harper goes on.

Great, just my luck. I already have detention anyway so it makes no difference to me. But now I can't be really close to Riley with Niall right up my ass. That's definitely dampened my mood. If only Niall shut up for once then I wouldn't have this problem. Always pushing me for information that I don't want to give. Detention is going to be a nightmare.

...

Me and Niall had our last class of the day together so we walk into the detention room together. So far, we are the only ones here. Niall is trying to make some sort of conversation with me but all I can do is stare at the door waiting for Riley to come in.

I'm pathetic.

I wonder if I take up all of her thoughts as she does mine?

I fucking hope so. Jealously does not do my sanity any justice. I can't deal with that shit.

Miss Harper excuses herself from the room but not before making us take a seat and get out some books to do 'homework'. She does make me laugh that woman. It's like she doesn't know her favourite student at all.

Her favourite being me, clearly.

"Mother fuckers!" Louis yells into the room before taking a seat. "Why are you guys in detention? Were you caught making out with each other again." He laughs hysterically. The only person that finds him funny is himself.

"Why are you here?" Niall asks.

"I might have accidentally hit Pearson with a lacrosse stick." He says using air quotes on the word accidentally. "It was just a little tap on his shin, they are taking it well out of proportion. You know me guys, I'm not a violent guy, unless you piss me off." He grins as if butter wouldn't melt.

He is such an asshole. Why do I even associate myself with him still?

"So it's just us three huh? Just like old fucking times. We should make this a party."

It's detention. What's so great about that? We can hang out together out of detention, I just want this over and done with as fast as fucking possible.

A few minutes later Louis' head darts up to the door when we hear the handle shake. "Well, well well. Look who we have here!" He says grinning as Riley steps through the door.

Fuck, Louis' idiocy made me completely forget Riley was coming.

Fuck my life. This is going to be the detention from hell, I guarantee it.

"You! Seriously? I would never have pictured you in detention. What did you do?" Niall asks her as she takes a seat beside me.

"I was just laughing at something Harry said in math." She shrugs. "No big deal."

"Well that's clearly a lie because Styles never says anything remotely funny." Louis snorts.

"Oh and you do?" I say, sticking up for myself. I'm trying not to say anything stupid because I know he could turn this whole situation around to be awkward for everyone, apart from himself obviously. He would get the biggest kick out of this situation between Niall, Riley and I.

"Just joking Haz, calm down bro. There's no need for the hostility." He smirks and I wanna punch him right in his face.

I've been trying to avoid my parents all day, but now I would rather go home and face them then deal with the shit that could potentially happen here.

"Why don't we play a game?" Louis suggests.

Fuck no. I know his kind of games and I'm definitely not playing.

"What kind of game?" Riley questions as if she's actually interested in playing.

She can't be fucking serious.

I shake my head at her discreetly trying to get her to stop whatever she is doing. This isn't going to end well.

"How about a nice friendly game of truths?"

"We aren't 12 anymore." I declare, hoping he will just drop the idea and we can swiftly move on.

"Lighten up Harry, it's just a bit of fun." Riley says catching me by surprise. "What else are we meant to do in detention?"

What is wrong with her? I would have expected that remark from Louis.

We could have been making out if these two dickheads didn't get themselves into trouble.

I look over to Niall and he looks pale. I know he is shitting himself about this game because the truth could come out about the bet he made. But he is too far up Louis' ass to disagree with him.

Riley is tapping away at her phone and for some reason I just knew she was texting me as I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, pulling it out secretly under the desk to take a look.

Riley:
Nothing he can say will put me off you. You have already told me about the bet you made so you have nothing to worry about. It's just a game rockstar. Just think about me naked if that will help get you through this ;) x

I cough awkwardly, placing the phone back in my pocket. I look up at the clock on the wall. We have an hour and half of detention left. Spending that time picturing Riley naked underneath me doesn't sound like a bad idea.

"Are you in or are you out Styles?" Louis asks.

I glance quickly into Rileys direction and she gives me a sly smile.

"Fine I'm in."

A/N

I feel like I haven't updated this in a while.

Thoughts?

I just want to say a huge thank you to harry1Daf__ for using the character of Riley in her book Brothers Best Friend 2. She wrote her so well, I loved it ♥️♥️ If you haven't read her book yet...what are you waiting for?
