This is also told from Maya's POV, I think I'm just going to stick with it from her side.
After the first 4 periods, we had lunch. Charlie didn't sit with us anymore because Farkle told him not to. Farkle was the only one that knew about me and Charlie, Lucas would want to kill Charlie and Riley would just cry. Farkle would understand. He did, and I'm glad that I told him.
"Did we have any homework in math?" Lucas asked our table.
"Yeah, we had two pages in the textbook, I'll text them to you," I said, I had already written down the homework.
"Why don't you come over and we can do it together? I need help on it, I don't understand anything on it," Lucas said while smiling.
"Sorry, I can't. I'm going over to Riley's to babysit. I'm not even that good at math, why don't you ask Farkle? Where is Riley?" I asked now concerned about her whereabouts.
"I don't know, but do you think that I could come? Farkle is way ahead of us and probably doesn't remember it." He said glancing towards Farkle.
"Uh sure Huckleberry, it's at 6," I looked around, she wasn't anywhere in sight. That wasn't good. Riley never missed a class, even lunch. She was usually the first one here.
"Okay," He said, scooting closer to me. Lucas and I were just friends, but we had grown very close since freshmen year. We hung out all of the time.
I observed our table. We looked like an odd bunch. You wouldn't have expected me and Lucas to be so close, or Riley and Zay to be even closer. Just this year they had started to date. They were head over heels for each other, and it made everyone happy. Farkle and Smackle had broken up since Smackle moved to Colorado. It was a hard time for Farkle, but I listened. I was always good at that, being the listener.
"Hey guys," Riley said to the table, extra cheery.
"Hey Riles," I showed the same cheery vibe as her. I knew that she was going to say something exciting.
"Hey," Zay said to Riley and kissed the top of her head. Something felt off, I looked to the right of our table and there Charlie was, glaring at the kiss. He seemed to always be around Riley, or me. It was like an obsession.
"Guess what, no wait don't because you're never going to believe it," She announced obviously to happy for her own good.
"What is it Riley?" Lucas asked seeming a little tired of Riley's enthusiasm.
"We get to go on a class retreat to Maine for my dad's class! Isn't that exciting!"
I looked around, no one seemed excited. But I was. A whole week away from home, where the nightmares were slowly turning into reality. I could've jumped. But then I realized who I would be with. All of my friends, plus Charlie. They were going to find out what happened with Charlie and me. But they'd also find out about the nightmares, and why they were happening.
