Her True Colors

You've been acting awful tough lately

Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately

But inside, you're just a little baby, oh.

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot

You don't always have to be on top

Better to be hated than loved, loved, loved for what you're not

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable

You are not a robot

You're lovable, so lovable

But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot [2x]

You've been hanging with the unloved kids

Who you never really liked and you never trusted

But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins

Never committing to anything

You don't pick up the phone when it ring-ring-rings

Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing

I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable

I am not a robot

You're lovable, so lovable

But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot [2x]

Can you teach me how to feel real?

Can you turn my power off

And let the drum beat drop?

Guess what? I am not a robot [2x]

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot [4x]

Riley's POV

It felt as if my whole world was crushed when I saw the picture of them kissing. It was a relief when I found out Lucas didn't kiss HER. But it stung really bad to find out she kissed him. It was such a low blow for her to kiss him just because I didn't come to her stupid sleepover that no one remembered. Why she even thought kissing him was the answer, beats me. I'm glad I kicked her out, she didn't deserve my friendship if she was going to take it and throw it right back in my face. I really hope I left a mark on her face. I will not even think about her anymore I will enjoy my life without her.

I would talk Lucas right now but I'm not ready to talk to him yet. Today feels kind of empty, it feels as if all time stop moving, everything and everyone is frozen except for me. I'm the only thing moving in this place where time stands still. I think I need to leave this house. Right now there are too many bad memories here. I need some fresh air. I left the house. I went to a garden, maybe the plants would help lift my spirits.

When I got there I found out that I wouldn't be alone. There was an old woman there, she seemed to be struggling with the hose. I decided to help her. "Here let me help," I said fixing the hose. Water came out of it now. "Thank you dear," She said smiling. I started walking away so she could get back to her work. "Why don't you stay with me for a while?" The woman suggested. I smiled, "Thank you." Gardening was a lot more fun than I had expected it to be. The old woman whose name I found out was Samantha, was really nice. She talked about her grandchildren, although they all varied in ages, they got along really well. At least sometimes. They stayed with her half the time their parents were busy and with their other grandparents the other half. She told me a hilarious story of when all 7 of her grandchildren worked together to make an attic fort, but in the end they couldn't decide what to call it. The ideas they had for the name of the fort were extremely bizarre. Her family honestly sounded amazing. "How old is the oldest one?" I asked her. She smiled, "Ah, Noah, he's 18. But he has had his fair share of childish moments. Sometimes I wonder how he has so many girls charmed." I laughed, he was a year older than me, and he definitely sounded like it. "How about the youngest?" I asked. "Sophie, she's 6. She is such a bright girl. She could make anyone feel better after a horrible day. You kind of remind me of her, dear." I blushed, "Thank you. I think she gets that from you." I smiled meaning every word.
