ANNARILEYS.

“hm. that’s not too unusual, but did you decide to write about bruce lee in particular or something? i mean, could you write about any gravestone– what about just a random gravestone?” she asked, questions bubbling over in curiosity. “that sounds kinda interesting.” she tucked her hair behind her ear as she spoke. “oh, that’s shitty. well, uber’s always my go-to, honestly,” she commented. “what happened?” anna riley wondered, concerned about the vehicle. 

‘’ it’s more about death itself, but i find bruce lee’s sudden cerebral edema death way more inspiring than any cemetery on earth.’’ riley admitted to the girl. ‘’ i don’t deal well with strangers who get paid to drive me.’’ she shrugged. ‘’ it just sounds weird.’’ the brunette added with a small smile. ‘’ to be honest, i don’t know. i was driving home from work and my car stopped working, i had to go to the nearest garage, by foot.’’ she told her small story. ‘’it was quite far, but i made it.’’

FCKATHENAS.

“I just….” Athena trailed off, shaking her head with a small smile on her face. “Well, I mean why Bruce Lee? I’ll totally go with you but just a bit confused.” The blonde girl took out her phone and checked the time, making sure she could spend the day on an adventure. “Want me to drive?”

‘’ bruce lee was one of the smartest and wisest man.’’ riley started it. ‘’and i have a poster of one of his movies on my bedroom wall, so i figured why not. if his poster can give me motivation then his grave will certainly give me some type of inspiration.’’ she explained with a chuckle. ‘’ you can drive or i can drive, whichever you feel more comfortable.’’ the brunette shrugged.

MILOFVCK.

eyeing the small brunette, milo sighed heavily and gave riley a short nod. “riles, i don’t have the time right now.” though his words may be harshly said, his tone held a gentleness.

riley frowned. ‘’ why not? i swear the cemetery isn’t too far.’’ she told the boy. ‘’ and i really need a ride.’’ she dragged out with a small pout. ‘’ pretty please?’’ the brunette asked, there was no way she was taking a taxi and milo was her only hope.

ADRIANSHQ.

“never get caught, huh? are you secretly kim possible?” adrian whispered, unable to stifle a laugh as he did so. “and i am not an undercover cop, don’t worry. i don’t fuck with feds.”

‘’ kim possible is outdated. i’d like to think of myself as a much more feminine version of james bond, since there’s no reliable female spies on television.’’ riley grinned, chuckling along. ‘’ ah, thank god i dodged that bullet. i don’t fuck with feds either, literally though.’’ she smirked.

HVNTNOAH.

“then get a driver, damn. why are you so picky?” he rolled his eyes at her. “or better, you can drive yourself. since it’s ‘not that bad’ and all.” he groaned and started walking toward his car, shaking his head. she was lucky he was actually sober at the moment. he took his keys from his pocket and shook them while looking back at her. as usual, he couldn’t a c t u a l l y say no to her, something he was sure she was betting on when she approached him. “you’d be bored without me, little one, we both know it. and it’s not a fear, it’s a lifestyle choice. why drive myself when i can have other people do it for me? nope, can’t say i’ve wanted to visit his grave, either. there are much more interesting places.”

‘’ yeah, i’m not getting a driver noah.’’ riley shook her head, she always felt like having one was being above everyone else, which she hated. ‘’ you know i do have a car, it just broke down.’’ the girl told her brother, following his to his car. ‘’ the world doesn’t revolve around your big ego.’’ she teased him, taking the keys. ‘’ i’ve never understood that, there’s nothing more relaxing than driving.’’ riley shook her head. ‘’ in seattle? please, there’s nothing that could top bruce lee. nothing.’’

AALIYXH-JFC.

j cole’s newest album blasted through aaliayh’s sleek, matte black beats. she loved the time to herself, the quiet, nobody bothering her moments is what she treasured. unfortunately, she didn’t take lightly to people interrupting that time. she felt the tap on her shoulder. rolling her eyes, she slid one side off to attend to the figure behind her. her eyebrow perked up as the other rambled on about her problems. she eyed the other, scoffing quietly. “first of all, who the fuck are you? second, i’m not driving some stranger anywhere for your stupid assignment. you want to get somewhere? take a bus, call an uber, catch a taxi,” aaliyah responed sharply before sliding the beats back over her exposed ear.

as the girl started talking a frown took over her featured, she despised rude people, but loved to give them a taste of their own medicine. ‘’ well, jeez, don’t go all batshit crazy on me. i was asking for a ride not two hundred bucks,’’ riley rolled her eyes. ‘’ which i bet you don’t have.’’ she muttered. the thing about having money is that you could always pull the i’m rich card. ‘’ if i wanted to take a bus or a taxi, i would have already.’’ the brunette crossed her ams, utterly annoyed. ‘’ fucking hell, don’t walk around with a stick up your ass.’’ she bit her lip.

RUNAWAYGEORGIE.

Georgie shrugged her shoulders. “I’ve heard of graves. Going to visit them for papers? Not so much but whatever floats your boat and shit.” She nodded as a man opened the doors for them of a nearby car. “Never learned to drive. Too busy.”

‘’ eh what can i say, i’m special.’’ riley shrugged. her father used to tell her that so much, for some time, she actually believed it. riley made her way into the car since the driver opened the door for them, not wanting to waste anytime.  ‘’ right, well if you ever have the time, try it. you’ll never get as close to freedom if you never drive yourself.’’

SAWYERKNIGHT.

“oh, right… of course…” sawyer was still skeptical but tried to go along with it as best he could, “y’need to go like, right now? i mean, okay…” he didn’t know if he was really about to agree with it, but it was intriguing, at least. “why bruce lee, of all people? just curious.”

riley took her phone out to look for the time. ‘’ well–yes know, because later it will get too crowded.’’ she nodded to herself. ‘’ the question is why NOT bruce lee!?’’ the girl exclaimed. ‘’ bruce lee was an actor, martial artist, philosopher and filmmaker. he truly did it all!’’ riley told the other. ‘’ he also said that if you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done. which is why we have to go now.’’

BASILWTF.

Basil shrugged, speechless for a moment. Her reaction was just what he expected, but how was he supposed to react. It’s not like he expected to ever see her again, he liked to pretend that time in his life never happened. Like there was just one big two year black out. “I… well I live here. I moved here a few years ago. Turned over a new leaf or whatever cliche of that fashion you prefer.” He just felt stupider the more he talked. He knew his words meant nothing to her, as they should after the number he pulled on her. “Sorry.” He said softly, his head hanging low.

riley bit her lip, her cheeks were red, it happened when she got frustrated. the brunette let out a snort, yeah right, a new leaf. ‘’ why of course you changed.’’ she said with an eye roll. riley didn’t believe him on bit, why should her. ‘’ sorry?’’ the girl raised her eyebrows, she wasn’t expecting it, but she was sure as hell not accepting it. ‘’ yeah right, save your words for someone who actually cares, or believe them, basil.’’ she scoffed.

HTMLSAV.

“okay still creepy though.” she laughs at the girl and shivers slightly. “either way, I can’t promise you I’m not going to freak the fuck out a cemetery.”

‘’ you’ve never been in a cemetery?’’ riley asked, she had been quite a couple of times and it was nothing scary during daylight. ‘’ i guess today is a day full of adventures.’’ the girl grinned.

BASILWTF.

Fuck Basil thought as he noticed that voice the moment it left the girl’s lips. He closed his eyes to take a moment to breath before the beautiful reminder of all of the mistakes he had made over the years. It wasn’t that Riley was the mistake, but more of how he treated her. Finally he turned to her, offering up the most genuine smile he could manage knowing how much he had hurt one of the most intelligent and intriguing girls he had ever met. “Hey you.” His tone was quite, shying away as he anticipated her reaction. “Yeah, I can take you if you want. I have a car and I mean…” He trailed off not really knowing where he was going. Basil knew giving her a ride was not going to fix anything and he was sure she would retract her question any second now. 

riley bit her lip. not him, she thought. of all people in seattle she had to bump into him. her smile turned into a frown. ‘’ you.’’ the girl’s lips twisted in disgust. ‘’ yeah, thanks but no thanks, i don’t need you of all people driving me around seattle.’’ riley rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. she closed her eyes, hoping it was only a dream and she sighed, sometimes, she had the worst luck. ‘’ what are you doing here?’’ the brunette mumbled, pinching the bridge of her nose.

BCNJIS.

     Benji tugged the towel off of his shoulder before the gentle tap made it fall, turning around to face Riley with a curiously arched brow. “Were you saying something before that?” he asked in confusion, completely lost as to what inspiration she could possibly be needing at work. Of course, as she went on to make her request, things were made a little clearer. “Sorry, Riles. I take the bus to work every morning – you know that, I think?”

‘’ ah fuck.’’ she bit her lip. ‘’ i forgot.’’ riley mumbled, trying to find out another way how to get to bruce lee’s gravestone. ‘’ is your shift over?’’ she asked, looking around the coffee shop. ‘’ i’m sure there’s a way we can get there by bus, but i wouldn’t be caught dead in those. well, not alone anyways.’’

FCKATHENAS.

“Wait Bruce Lee’s gravestone?” Athena asked tilting her head at the side, while not breaking eye contact with the girl. “Why the hell do you need to see his gravestone to write a paper?” the girl found herself not being able to hold back a light laugh.

‘’ bruce lee’s gravestone.’’ riley nodded with a serious expression. ‘’ inspiration,’’ she told the girl. ‘’ you can’t just write a paper on death like that. you need some type of adventure and well, i didn’t want to participate in a near-death experience, so bruce lee’s gravestone is the next best thing.’’

HTMLSAV.

savannah’s eyebrows raised as she listening to her talk, a small scoff coming from her lips. “you need me to drive you to a cemetery? can’t you just get your brother to do that or something?”

‘’ not any cemetery, the one where bruce lee was buried.’’ riley repeated. ‘’ my brother?’’ she frowned, noah was the last thing she was thinking about right now. ‘’ he’s not my babysitter, you know.’’ riley crossed her arms. ‘’ but apparently he doesn’t like driving.’’

AJVHS.

“ bruce lee ? ” ajah rose a brow at the girl, setting the textbook she was reading on her lap. she was intrigued by her question, so she figured whatever she had to say was more interesting than blood analyzing. “ i have a car. keep talking. ”

‘’ yeah, bruce lee, like the actor? he’s–was great.’’ riley nodded, unsure to whether explain more in detail about who he was or if the girl got the gist of it. ‘’ as we all know, he died and i need to see his grave here in seattle.’’ she took off her bracelet. ‘’ but my car broke down, so i need someone to drive me there.’’
