Fans of my story, Just a Freak, must be wondering that, now that it ended, what happened to my characters.
Well, here you go:
Mr. Ben and Riley's mother got married a year later. He and Riley were always very close.
Joyce and Riley's dad's baby was born just a week later. His name was David Michael Ripley.
Connie Fritz retired from her job seven years later and went on to do Parish work at her local congregation.
Jason actually stopped being a dick after he graduated college. He got married and became a Gym teacher. He had three kids.
Mr. Geiger transferred to a different school after Riley graduated.
Dirk was never seen again, although Riley swears on a stack of phonebooks she saw him Costco once.
Brian did a few college shows after high school, and then went on to be a middle school drama teacher.
Caleb went to a college for the Arts. His artwork wasn't as widely recieved as he hoped it would be, and ended up doing illustrations for children's book. He and Brian broke up in Junior year, to Riley's dismay. He partnered with a man named Warren DiYanni, a film maker. They settled in upper Vermont. He continued being friends with Riley for the rest of his life.
It took Riley a very long time to figure out what she wanted to do with herself. For year she joined Caleb in Art school, which was where she met her future husband, a photographer named Ethan Harvey, whom she had two children with, later in life. At the age of twenty-six Riley visited her mother and Mr. Ben, went up in the attic and found the journal in which she wrote her experiences in tenth grade. After showing it to her Ethan for kicks, he seriously told her to try publishing it. It was an instant success, said to "capture the raw essence of teenage being". Filled with energy from her hit, Riley decided to keep writing, this time fictions stories. They were also well-accepted, but not as loved as her first, aptly named Just a Freak.
