Riya

Riya, a character in the Ride or Die: A Bad Boy Romance book, is your character's best friend. She is first seen in Chapter 1.

Your Character
Riya is Your Character's best friend and has been since grade school. She helps you with your outfit choices, although she says you look great in everything. Depending on how you talk to Logan when you first meet, she is either awed that you have an iron will to blow him off or that you flirted with a guy that absurdly hot. She also likes it when he ignores Ingrid for you. Riya drives you if you are not taking the bus since you do not know how to drive. If you decide to get ice cream with her in Chapter 5, she talks to you about her uncertainty of a future long distance relationship with Darius as they will be going to different colleges (approximately 360 miles apart). You can either tell her to talk to Darius about her feelings or suggest she needs space for herself.

Darius
Darius is Riya's boyfriend. They have known each other since grade school, and Riya has been crazy about him since before 7th grade. They have a good repartee, although he does object when she calls Logan "hot". At Brent's party, he is all about the food, but will stand against the wall with you if you choose to. They often have completely opposite opinions but do care about each other. When she refuses to take couple photos with him during their Senior Pictures day, he is hurt but shrugs off his feelings. In Chapter 7, she breaks up with him.
