Title: In the dark*

Character: Nevada Riley*
Face claim: Thomas Doherty

"My mom named me Nevada cause she liked the state,but it's better then the other thing she likes whiskey."

Plot: Nevada Riley was always in the dark,his mother not allowing the boy to get out. Now,once the boy was about to be in high school,his mother let him go. As she could no longer teach him-which he didn't think she thought him anything (other than how to take a punch)-he was happy to get out of the house. And finally away from his mother,even if it was just for a couple of hours.

Summary:

NEVADA RIELY HADN'T HAS EVER BEEN TO SCHOOL. It was something new to him. And he wasn't excited about new things. As new things,he never understood them nor knew what to expect. But,there was one thing he could say,he never expected this.

Nevada walked through the hallways,long-sleeved shirt covering the scars and bruises on his arms. The shirt had been a little bit longer by the end of it,stopping below his waist. He had never been to school,so he never would have guessed what it was like. The closets things he had,was when he'd watch a movie that was set in high school,but even then,he'd not get to really see it,having to quickly shut off the TV and run up the stairs before his mother had burst into the door with a new stranger under her arms.

So,he hadn't expected it when a by was shoved,bumping into Nevada and making him fall while his books tumbled to the ground. He had said nothing,simply rushing to pick up his books when books were placed in front of him.The boy looked up, seeing a red-headed boy and another one, who was much taller than both the redhead and Nevada. "Here. You are new here?"

Nevada looked up,nodding as the taller of the three,offered his hand to the fallen boy. The blue eyed boy had hesitated,before taking the hand. He hadn't expected to basically fly through the air. "Wow! Your super light. -"

He hadn't gotten to finish,when the redhead hit him. the redhead smiled,turning to Nevada and extending his hand. "Archie Andrews."

Nevada nodded,his hand wrapping around the boy's. It had felt weird. To be in the presence of people who hadn't seemed like they were going to hurt him. His eyes slowly drew to the much taller,and much louder boy. Who also extended his hand. "Reggie Mantle."

Nevada forced out a smile. "Nevada Riley."

Reggie had given the boy a smile,hiding the fact that he had wanted to question the name. As did Archie,but Nevada was great with seeing passed people,he hadn't meant to say the next sentence that came from his mouth. Or at least the last part. "My mom named me Nevada cause she liked the state,but it's better then the other thing she likes whiskey."

And even though his voice was low,he was close to the boys,both raising an eyebrow at the boy,who quickly ran away. "umm,thanks for your help. Bye!"

He ran down the halls,knowing that if his mother found out about what he said,he'd probably die. He didn't notice that the two boys were still looking at him. "Did he seem..i don't know,worried and scared to you?"

Reggie turned to Archie,waiting for his answer. "yeah,he was shy." Reggie nodded,in agreement. The saying words that Archie never expected from Reggie. "But,kinda cute."
