New Horizons
Class
“What are you guys going to name him?” Ashley asked as we all looked at the little puppy. All the guys were there (Jinxx, Jake, CC, and Ashley) and so were Katelyn and Sammi. The puppy sat in the middle of us chewing contently on a raw hide bone that was twice the size of him.
I shrugged my shoulders, “I don’t know we haven’t figured out yet.”
“I think you should name him Andy just to mess with Andy’s head.” CC said throwing a tennis ball in the air. The puppy looked up from his bone and ran to CC. “See he responds to the name!” CC said excited. “Hello Andy.” He said looking down at the dog.
“We are not calling the dog Andy.” Andy answered.
“And the reason the dog came to you is because you have his tennis ball.” Jake pointed out.
“Oh.” CC answered, tossing the puppy the ball, hitting him in the head. The puppy chased after the ball.
“I would appreciate it if you didn’t hit my dog in the head.” I joked.
“It’s not my fault he didn’t catch it. Isn’t that that what dogs are supposed to do?” CC answered.
“Look at the size of his mouth. It’s impossible!” I replied.
“Why don’t you guys call him Rebel? You know after Rebel Love Song. You guys have it tattooed on your arms; it only makes sense.” Sammi suggested.
“I love it!” I answered. “You’re a frickin genius Sammi!”
She smiled, “I know.”
“Can we name him Rebel?” I asked looking at Andy.
Andy nodded, “Sounds like a good name.”

A few days later it was time for the guys to leave. We all decided to meet up at a restaurant to have breakfast before the guys had to leave.
We had just ordered our food when Sammi stood up calling attention to her. “So me, Riley and Katelyn all got our guys a little present.” She pulled out three wrapped packages and handed one to me, one to Katelyn and kept one. “Just so that you guys won’t miss us too bad when you are on the tour without us.”
She must have been talking about the photos. She handed her’s to Jinxx and Katelyn handed hers to CC. I was kind of nervous to pass it over. I hadn’t seen the photos yet and didn’t know what they looked like. But knowing Sammi, they probably looked awesome. I handed mine to Andy as he looked at me confused.
“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t tell you everything.” I responded.
“Are these the pictures?” CC asked opening up the package.
Sammi and I looked at Katelyn. “You told him!” I exclaimed.
Katelyn shrugged her shoulders, “He promised not to tell the other guys.”
“Well he told me.” Andy answered with a chuckle. He opened up the wrapping paper and inside was a magazine with the pictures of me.
“Let me see that.” I said taking it away from Andy.
“Hey that’s mine.” Andy answered but he didn’t take it away from me he just looked at it with me. Sammi had done a really good job and I had to admit that I looked pretty hot. She even included a page with some fun facts; with everything from our favorite food to when we first started dating the guys to what our favorite memory that we had with them.
“These are hot.” Andy said taking the magazine away from me so he could read the fact page.
“Where’s mine?” Ashley asked, stealing CC’s.
“No you don’t!” Katelyn said taking it from him. “The last thing I want is for you to see me half naked. You already have seen Riley naked, there’s no way you need to see me…even if it’s only half-naked.” She handed it back to CC. Everyone laughed. Just like they said…I was never going to live that down.
I sighed and leaned against Andy. It was going to be weird not having the guys around.
***
A few days after the guys left was the first day of classes. I had gotten a few texts from Andy and a phone call but I still missed him. I didn’t want to go and just wanted to lay in bed all day with Rebel. Katelyn on the other hand didn’t like that option.
“Get out of bed and quit being a baby.” She said barging into the room with Sammi behind her. She took my computer off of my lap and set it on the bedside table.
“Come on it’s the first day of classes.” Sammi said handing me a pack of pop tarts and a glass of milk. Breakfast in bed, Sammi and Katelyn style.
“I have other plans.” I said stubbornly. “I’m going to be lazy and lay in bed with Rebel all day.”
“You are not going to mope the whole time they are gone.” Katelyn answered. “You need to go to class.”
“Wear one of Andy’s shirts. It’ll make you feel better.” Sammi suggested. She sat down on the bed and picked Rebel up. He wagged his tail happily and licked her face.
“If I have to go to class, you have to go to class.” Katelyn pulled my blankets off of me and started pulling me off of the bed by my ankle.
“Fine, jeesh.” I kicked at her playfully, pushing her away and got out of bed.
“Atta, girl.” She said smiling. “Now get dressed. You have half an hour before we leave.”
Her and Sammy left taking the puppy with them. I let out a sigh and turned on some BVB music. How was I going to last another couple of months? Hopefully it would get better.

I walked into my first class, behavioral psychology, and sat down. Low and behold who comes and sits next to me...Will Ryan. I thought the stupid ass would have gotten the clue the last time we were in the near vicinity of each other.
“It’s nice to see you again, Riley. I really enjoyed the stories in the papers. Did you really try to off yourself?” He said with a smirk.
“I’m not in the mood to deal with you today.” I warned him. I crossed my arms across my chest and looked towards the front of the classroom.
“Did you and your boy toy break up or something?” He responded.
I glared at him, “No, me and Andy are perfectly fine. Not that it’s any of your business but we just got a puppy and we’re getting a place together after he returns from his tour in Europe.” I just wanted to rub it in his face that Andy and I were perfectly fine and that everyone was wrong.
“I’m surprised that he didn’t dump your ass after how you treated him during the stupid tour. I heard you even developed a little drinking problem.” He said offhandedly.
How the hell did he know that? The only people who knew about the whole tour ordeal were our friends.
“Where did you hear that?” I asked trying not to confirm what he was saying.
“Well I worked with Katelyn at the law firm over the summer and it’s amazing what she will say when she’s pissed off.” He answered and my stomach dropped.
Why would she do that? She was supposed to be my best friend.
He snickered, “So I’m guessing it’s all true.” My face probably gave it all away. ”Are you even still with Andy or are you just a pathetic girl that is delusional into thinking you’re still with a guy?”
“You fuckin asshole.” I went to get up and leave but he grabbed my arm.
“You didn’t answer my question.”
I looked down at his hand around my arm and punched him in the face. “Keep your fuckin hands off of me.”
“You bitch!” He yelled as he covered his eye.
“That’s my name don’t wear it out.” I smirked and left the room. Everyone’s eyes were on me and I knew that I would be in a lot of trouble. But at that point I really didn’t give a shit because I finally punched that asshole and it felt awesome.
I shrugged my shoulders, “I don’t know we haven’t figured out yet.”
“I think you should name him Andy just to mess with Andy’s head.” CC said throwing a tennis ball in the air. The puppy looked up from his bone and ran to CC. “See he responds to the name!” CC said excited. “Hello Andy.” He said looking down at the dog.
