The twins walked over to Rileys bed and stood each side. They grinned at each other as they pulled at a red airhorn each.

They looked at their sleeping sister and only saw the opportunity to mess with her. All of her brother enjoyed messing with her and annoying her. Kyle says the only reason he wanted a sister was to get on her nerves. The annoyed face of their sister triggered some sort of wicked happiness deep inside the boys.

Ryan signalled Shawn to kneel down closer to her ear. Ryan mouthed a count down from 3....2...1. They pushed the button down and a horrible loud screech bleached out of the horn.

Riley jumped up with frightened eyes. The twins laughed as they filmed their sisters hilarious reaction.

"Get out!" Riley screamed at them furious by her rude awakening. They giggled and walked out of the door fist bumping. Shawn stayed in her room and looked at her.

Riley scolded him hoping that he would disintegrate, he didn't. He squeezed the button one last time before leaving her room laughing. Riley crushed her ears with her hands trying to quiet the sound of the loud horn.

She exhaled loudly and turned on her phone, it was 6 am. She was woken up at 6am on a Saturday of her holiday. Riley grunted and lay in her bed staring at her phone.

The twins were always up this early because they went to practice their football. Shawn really wanted a scholarship for football, he worked very hard, he deserved it. Plus that was the only way he was going to college, he wasn't very academic.

But Ryan wasn't really fussed about football. He enjoyed it but no where near as much as Shawn did. Riley thought he only did it to be popular, she rolled her eyes.

Riley decided sleep was overrated and scrolled through her phone. At 6:15 she heard the twins leave, she was thankful, they were getting on her nerves.

The twins walked out of the door with their football kit in their bags.
"You have to tell her." Ryan walked quickly looking at his twin brother.
"I can't...she won't understand." Shawn scratched his arm and walked faster, they were late for the bus.
"Riley deserves to know" Ryan panted as he jogged to the bus stop.
"Just drop it bro" Shawn cursed at him. Ryan shrugged it off and continued to walk to the stop.

The bus was late, half and hour late. The twins sat on the bench staring at the sheep in the fields.
"Coach is going to kill us" Shawn sighed.
"We will just tell him the bus was late" Ryan suggested.
"You know what he will say." Shawn pushed him gently on the shoulder.
"Learn to drive losers." They said in unison quoting the words of their coach, they laughed.

They got on the bus and sat in the back. Ryan placed his bag on the spare chair and looked out the window.

His eyes widened.
"Dude" he called Shawn, who was too busy listening to his music. "Dude!" Ryan repeated and shook him.
"What?" Shawn said irritated he had to pause his music. Ryan pointed at two teenagers.

Shawn focused his eyes and tried to make out the faces. He squinted and gasped looking back at his brother. They continued to stare at the couple in shock.

Riley was down stairs watching teen wolf. She signed in sadness realising there was only one more season left. She scoffed a donut and licked her fingers.

The door unlocked and the twins scrambled in looking uneasy.
"Riley?" Ryan called looking for her. She paused stiles on her screen and walked over to her brothers.
"We have something to tell you" Shawn panted.
"What? Why are you guys so out of breath?" she raised her eyebrows at them hoping it would be worth pausing the tv show.

"We ran here and we saw Matt" Ryan said looking at his sister with sad eyes.
"Cool?" Riley nodded confused why they would bother to tell her.
"He was with someone" Shawn continued Ryan's sentence, they did this a lot, a twin thing she thought.
"A girl" Ryan sighed.

Riley stared at her brothers expecting them to burst out laughing, but they didn't.
"What girl?" She cleared her through still secretly hoping this was a prank.
"She had brown hair, blue eyes I think and..... well I'm not sure but he was with a girl." Ryan looked at her with sorry in his eyes.
"She was quite attractive really" Shawn tilted his head trying to remember what this stranger looked like. Riley and Ryan hit him at the same time.

"He told me he was busy" Riley was looking at her feet embarrassed she found out this way.
"Well he looked busy." Shawn chuckled, Ryan shook his head at his brother in disappointment.

The hallway was silent. "Thanks for telling me guys" Riley smiled weakly at them. They nodded at her in concern.

Riley slowly dragged her feet up the stairs. She looked at herself in the mirror. A girl with dirty blonde hair stood in front of her. Her face was clear, no spots or blemishes, she had some freckle on her nose. She had a little mascara on and a grey top with tight black jeans. She sighed at her appearance.

Would Matt cheat on her? Did he think he could do better? Why would he lie to her?

A tear escaped for her eye. She rubbed them hoping it would stop the tears,it didn't. She sobbed into her hands and looked up.

Riley looked at the girl in the mirror again. The girl had puffy red eyes. Her face damp and she was shaking.

Riley eyes twitched as she looked at this girl realising it was her. Her body straighten and she rubbed her eyes.

"You are not weak Riley Wood!" She pointed at the mirror. " you don't need Matt to make you happy." She knew the girl was lying.

Why would Matt do this to her?
