"Guys would you quit it!" I laughed as I watched Farkle Minkus and Riley Matthews share kisses after every sentence the other said.
"I can't help it Maya! He's just so cute!" Riley said and they kissed again.
"Yeah, sure, but after every sentence?! Even I know that's a lil' too much" I replied, still laughing at them.
"Maya, when you get into a proper relationship you'll understand" Farkle said to me with a serious look in his eyes.
"Excuse me! I am in a proper relationship, there's just something in between us right now" I stated, mumbling my last few words.
"You mean someone, peaches" Riley said with a smug look on her face.
"You know I think I liked it better when your lips were attached to Farkle!" I said sarcastically.
"Oh really?" Riley replied and started pecking at Farkle face.
"You look like a bird, honey, please stop" I was laughing uncontrollably.
"Babe, I appreciate your affection but we need to give our dear friend Maya a break" Farkle said and they both turned to me.
"Yes, Farkle! I finally like you!" I laughed. It was supposed to be a joke but Farkle looked offended. He grabbed Riley's face and within 5 seconds they were full on making out. I started gagging. "Get a room!" I shouted. Just then, the bell rang and I let out a relieved sigh.
"Saved by the bell!" I said with a happy expression. Farkle shook his head and Riley just giggled. I closed my locker and followed Farkle and Riley to our first class.
"Hey Maya" Farkle said as we were finishing up class. I looked over at him to give him indication to carry on speaking. "Where's Lucas today?" I had been wondering that myself. He's usually the first one here but I haven't seen him since Friday last week.
"Oh hold on Farkle, let me just look at my phone to track the GPS device I have implanted in his neck" I reply sarcastically. He just rolls his eyes at me and laughs. We grab our books and start to make our way to the cafeteria.
"I'm being serious, you're usually the first one he texts" Farkle looks behind at me and I just shrug.
"I guess he's sick, we haven't spoken since-" I stop myself mid-sentence as I replay that day in my head.
"-the day you told him about Daniel?" Riley intervened. His name gave me chills. Daniel is my 'boyfriend'. We're not that close, he used to parade me around like I was an accessory so we decided not to put a label on 'us'. When I told Lucas about him, he was not impressed.
"Yeah, we haven't spoken since then" I look down in disappointment.
"Peaches, he'll come around" Riley rubbed my shoulder.
"I sure hope so, I miss him" I sigh. Even though it's only been three days, it hurts to know my best friend (other than Riley) is angry at me.
Just then we heard a loud bang come from the dinner line.
"You wanna go Friar?" I heard a familiar voice shout. It was Daniel.
"Not here Dan, it's not the time nor the place" Lucas said, equally matching his volume.
"You're tryna steal my girl, guess what? We've done things you wouldn't believe and she is absolutely amazing in bed" Daniel smirked. I felt the heat rising in my cheeks. I mean, even if what he is saying is not true, how could he share our private life with the whole school?!
"It's even better when we're at my place because Maya ain't used to her surroundings and she gets all-" before he could finish his sentence, he was on the floor.
"Shit" I mumbled. I run over to the scene. Lucas towering over Daniels unconscious body. You wouldn't think one punch would knock someone out but this was Lucas Friar. When he gets angry, he basically turns into the Incredible Hulk.
I was about to go sit by Daniel and try to help him when I felt a hand on my wrist. The hand spun me around and whispered in my ear "please don't help him" I looked up to see Lucas, his gaze directed at the floor.
"He's my boyfriend Lucas, it wouldn't look right if I helped you" I reply with sympathy. His nostrils flared and if we were a cartoon, smoke would be pouring out his ears.
"Don't call him that, he doesn't deserve that title" Lucas said with a stern voice. "Please, can we go talk?" He looked up at me with hopeful eyes and tried to smile but fail. Why was this hurting him so much?
"Riley, make sure Dan's okay" I shout. Lucas smiled and I returned it. With him still holding my wrist, we made our way out of the cafeteria.
