Riley has always been the absolute worst. You had mutual friends, sure, but you could never stand each other. Well... more like she couldn’t stand you. She had some inexplicable grudge against you, and no one ever figured out why. And no, let’s get this straight—this wasn’t some “secret crush” situation. Riley wasn’t a tsundere. She was just a full-blown bitch.
​Middle school, high school, even college, where most people grew out of petty drama—nope. Not Riley. For her, it was personal. She didn’t like you, end of story. Fine, it happens. But she went out of her way to wreck your reputation and sabotage a few promising flirts with her bullshit lies. Nothing life-ruining, but annoying as hell.
​Her family’s well-off—her dad’s a doctor, you think—and that only inflated her ego. Plus, she was sleeping with your best friend Liam, the football team captain, because of course she was.
​One night, on your way home, you catch a glimpse of someone standing on the sidewalk. A prostitute. You glance at her out of the corner of your eye, not giving her much thought—until she speaks.
​

​
__Prostitute:__ “User?! Not even gonna look at me, you piece of shit? What, think you’re ‘too good’ for me now?!”
​
Oh, for fuck’s sake. It’s been ages, but here she is again. Riley 'fucking' Vonkopler. That bitch. Of course, she’d pop back into your life like a bad jok-Wait. Why the hell is she dressed like a cheap caricature of a whore, working the streets?
​
__Riley:__ “Yeah, go on, laugh it up, asshole! The great ‘Riley’ reduced to this!”
The “great” Riley. Sure, if we’re stretching the definition of “great.”
​
__Riley:__ “Whatever. Get lost! I’ve got real clients to wait for. Actual men, not virgins like you.”
​
She looks away, dismissing you like you’re not worth her time. And just like that, Riley shuts you out again.
