Chapter 2:

Girl meets World: Part 2

I closed my diary and laid it on my nightstand. Usually after writing I would feel a little better about my day, but today had been insane. Riley was being so unusual. I know she wanted to find herself, heck I wanted to find myself. But acting like Maya was a completely different story, Riley and Maya have two different personalities!

I rolled over onto my side glancing at the clock, 6:40, dinner would be ready in 20 minutes. I guess it was time to have a conversation with Riley.

I walked out the door and into Riley's room, she was sitting alone at the bay window alone. Auggie had just ran out the door screaming for mom.

"Riles?" She looked up. " Can we talk?"

She nodded, so I shut the door and sat at the bay window with her.

"I know you feel like you have to be like Maya." I quickly began. "And if you want to experience what it's like to be like her, that's cool. But I can tell you that's not you. You know it's not you. I know that what I'm saying probably won't affect you right now, but if you want to talk about finding who you are my door is always open… if you knock of course." I stood up and walked to the door opening it. " Riley, I'm still trying to figure out who I am too."

I left her room and walked back to my room. That was enough feelings for tonight.

I fiddled with a long, curly strand of my light brown hair as I sat at the lunch table with Maya and Riley.

"Awe, look at him trying to find a place to sit down and fit in." Maya mocked gushed at Lucas' lost puppy dog face.

"Maybe he could sit with us." I said, shrugging at Riley.

" Can he sit with us?" Riley asked Maya, gushing. So she liked Lucas… that's cool.

Maya shrugged and made a space between her and Riley for Lucas to sit. Lucas saw and moved to sit in the empty seat, but suddenly it was filled with Farkle.

"Ladies…" He greeted in a flirting tone to Maya and Riley. While Maya, Riley, Farkle, and I were all friends we would often split into smaller groups. Maya and Riley. Farkle and I. I could without a doubt tell you, Farkle was my best friend.

"Farkle." They both replied. Looking away from the trio, I noticed Lucas was no longer their. Shame, he was nice.

"Interesting lunch line dilemma," Farkle began. " Sloppy Joe" He glance at Maya, " Or Chicken Pot Pie." He looked at Riley.

I looked at my meal, I had gone with Sloppy Joe. At least I could see all the ingredients.

"That all you got?" Maya asked.

"That's it." Farkle smiled. "See you guys tomorrow." He walked off with his tray.

I laughed as they both rolled their eyes at Farkle's antics.

"It's sweet." I said, in answer to their glares.

"Oh, there he is." Poor Lucas was still looking for a place to sit.

"Ask him to sit down." Maya nudged Riley.

"Words? What do I say?" Poor Riley asked like her whole future depended on the next few moments.

"Just invite him to sit here." Maya said, gently.

"I can't say that."

"Hey Lucas wanna sit?" Maya asked Riley again.

"Can't say that."

"Hey Lucas."

"We're on a first name bases?" Riley asked Maya with excitement.

" Hey." Maya tried again.

"Hey." Maa nodded again.

"Hey." Lucas said from behind Riley, he sat down in the seat beside her.

"Hi." Riley said, smiling nervously at Lucas."You're sitting here."

"Is that okay?" Lucas asked. Riley gave him the thumbs up. I rolled my eyes at her, exasperated.

"Excuse me for just one second." Riley said to Lucas, she turned to Maya and they had a silent squealing moment.

Lucas looked at me and smiled. I grinned back, dimples peeking out.

"How you doing?" Dad asked from behind Lucas, causing everyone to give a slight jump and look at him.

"Dad you have a choice here," Riley said. " You can understand that this is a boy just talking to me-"

"I'm gunna do whatever you say next." Dad interrupted.

"But this is so innocent!" Riley said, gesturing between her and Lucas.

"Honey, fathers don't see anything as innocent. We see it as...what's the opposite of innocent?" Dad asked me.

"Right here." Maya said raising her hand.

"Please don't embarrass me." Riley begged.

"I'm just going to talk to Mr. Friar about geography." Dad turned to Lucas. "You know I've been a lot of places. Never been to Texas, though. What part of Texas is the closest to Mexico?"

I face palmed, knowing where this was going.

"That'd be El Paso, sir." Lucas answered.

" Great! Let's go right now!" He dragged Lucas away who was still in his chair.

We all picked up our trays and started walking to the trash cans.

" So, did you do your homework?" Riley asked Maya.

"No I didn't do my homework! The question on everybody's mind, though, is did you do the homework?" Maya asked Riley.

"No! I'm one of the founding member of the homework rebellion, you think I did my homework?" Riley squeaked.

"Honestly, I think you did mine too." Maya said dumping her tray.

"I did, I did and I really liked it." Riley nodded her head, grinning.

"Riley, don't save me." Maya said, placing a hand on Riley's shoulder.

"What?" Riley asked.

"Let me be me." Farkle walked by. "Oh you got two desserts."

"Angel's Food Cake-" Riley began.

" and Devil's. Let me guess who's who." Maya grinned.

"Hey Farkle's just hungry not everything is about you two." He walked off with his cake.

I snorted and dumped my tray. What an interesting day.

Lucas was still sitting next to me, so guess he found his way back from wherever dad left him.

"Hi, I'm glad your back." Riley smiled at Lucas.

"Hi. Me too." He grinned back.

Dad walked up from behind Riley

"Hi. Apparently you have a better sense of direction than I anticipated." He gestured around. Riley dropped her head on her gave Lucas the 'I'm watching you' signal.

"You're a really good-looking guy."

"Okay. So, today we're going to find out if anybody here believes in something so strongly they'd fight for it. Maya." He started with her.

"Yes sir."

"Present your homework."

"Can't do that, sir." Maya had a smirk on her face.

"Why not?"

"That's what I'm fighting, sir."

"Oh, this could go on for awhile." I nodded in agreement as Farkle put on a sleep mask and immediately started to snore.

"I didn't do my homework, either." Riley piped up.

"Oh, really?" Dad asked.

"Yeah. We're the same now. I don't believe in homework." Riley stated. I frowned at the back of her head.

"Guess what, Riley? That doesn't make you the same as Maya at all."

Maya raised her hand

"I have something to say." She said.

"Wow, I don't know what to do, I've never seen this before., The floor's yours, ."

"Get up, Farkle." Maya pulled off his sleep mask. "You're going to want to be awake for this."

"Is it our honeymoon?" Farkle asked hopefully.

"No, you missed that. Now it's time to hand in our essays."

"Oh! Farkle goes first! Farkle always goes first!" Farkle disappeared.

"Alright, everybody who did their homework, put it on your desk." Everyone, par myself, started to get out their homework and Maya began to collect them.

"Careful their, ."

"Are you sure about this?" Riley asked Maya, worried.

"I got this." Maya said.

"Okay."

The door opened and Farkle came in holding an extravagant project… with sparklers.

"The branding of Atlanta led to the end of the Civil War, and of peace. I believe that peace is worth fighting for." Maya snatched a sparkler from his project. "Hey! That's a pivotal part of my diorama!" Maya took another sparkler from Farkle's project. "And there goes Virginia!"

"The burning of the homework led to the end of the Homework Rebellion, because their was no more homework." Maya stood on a chair, about to burn the homework. Thank God I hadn't turned mine in,

Dad quickly took homework from Maya. " Alright, that's far enough. I get it, Maya."

The class began to chant 'No homework, more freedom!'. Maya lifted the sparker highe to where she accidently touched it to the fire sprinklers. They immediately went off.

"Okay so those actually work."

" Is this all part of your presentation, or is this actually going on?" Everyone started fleeing the classroom.

Lucas and Riley stood to the side of the classroom, Lucas' jacket over their heads while I was by an infuriated dad.

"Why didn't you stop your friend?" Lucas asked her. I gave Riley a look.

"That's not what I do anymore!" Riley explained.

"Riley, you're better than this!" I yelled at her.

Farkle ran up to dad and started climbing all over him.

"Farkle, what are you doing?"

" ,, you have detention. The principal will determine if it goes far than that." Maya stepped down from the chair. "Ms. Mathews, please leave."

"I deserve detention too!" Maybe not detention, grounding would be a much better punishment.

"No you don't. You didn't do anything. And because you didn't do anything, your best friend is in very big trouble. Alright Farkle, you can get down now." Dad said.

Maya, Riley, Lucas, and I all left.

I stood outside the school with Lucas.

" Why were Riley and Maya acting like that?" Lucas asked. "Is this their normal behavior?"

"It's Maya's. Not Riley's. Riley thinks she has to change for whatever odd reason. And she's trying to change into Maya. Don't get me wrong I love them both, but their should only be one Maya and one Riley. They need each other, and when one's not acting like himself, the other changes and not for the better." I tried to explain as best as I could.

"Makes sense. I gotta go, but I'll see you later." Lucas walked off, leaving me to walk to dad's car. Life was complicated.

I sat at the kitchen table doing my math homework, while mom helped Auggie with his reading.

The door opened flew open, Riley and Maya walking in.

"Where is he?" RIley asked. Mom, Auggie, and I pointed at dad who was at the kitchen sink with a banana in his mouth.

"There is no way I'll let you break up my friendship with Maya." Riley stated strongly.

"Is that what you think I want RIley?" Dad asked.

"No. What you said you really want is for me to make the world my own. And you want me to do my homework. Well, I'm doing it right now. Here's what I think is worth fighting for. This is my best friend. She's gonna get me into trouble, and I' m gonna get us out of it. And I did, because here we are. Look at us, Dad. We're right here. My Civil War is over Dad. And I won, What happens now?"

Mom and Dad smiled at eachother, gesturing for us to follow them.

"Friend, family, and all you other subterranean mole people. We're here today to celebrate Riley being Riley. Now some may call this a New York City subway pass. But, you, Riley can consider it a subway ticket to the world." Dad said, handing Riley the pass.

"You think I'm ready?" Riley asked.

'You showed us you are." Mom answered, smiling.

"Riley, I've already met the world now it's your turn." Dad said, Riley smiled.

"Hey, this isn't so different from Texas. Look there's a pny!" Lucas said pointing at a Rat. I let out a tiny scream and jumped on Dad's back.

"Daddy we need to go right now. There's a rat."

"That's a rat." Farkle told Lucas. Two pretty women walked by. "Ladies."

"Farkle." They purred and kept on walking.

Riley and Maya got on the subway cart.

Mom wrapped an arm around my shoulder and squeezed tight.

"It's your world to you know." She said.

"I know, I'm still just trying to figure it out though." She smiled and kissed my cheek.
