Chapter 4 Riley's POV
"Yeah. Yeah, it's me. Listen, I got your number from Zay, I hope you don't mind," he starts.
"Well, seeing how it hasn't changed since 7th grade, nope don't mind at all," I sigh not even feeling like arguing about something so stupid. "What do you want Lucas?"
"Right. Well I was thinking that I could do the upcoming assignment and we switch up every other assignment so that there's no tension or discomfort much like this phone call," he offers, mumbling the last part, which kind of offended me.
"Or we can meet up in the library and get it done together. Nothing has to be awkward unless we make it that way. The sooner we get to work, the sooner it's over okay?" I counter because seriously who is he to suggest such a thing.
"I-I guess. We can meet up tomorrow after baseball practice, say 5:30ish?" he suggest.
"That's fine. Are we done here, I really need to attend to something," I say rocking a still fussy Leyna, who seems to have calmed a little.
"Yeah, I guess. See you tomorrow?"
"Yup," I say before hanging up the phone without another word so I could see to my child. Once I finally get her to sleep, Maya climbs into my window with Farkle not too far behind.
"What's up Sally?" greets Maya which I completely shut down.
"Shhh. Aleyna's sick and I just got her to sleep," I inform falling backward on my bed.
"What's wrong with my munchkin?" Farkle asks, walking over to the crib.
"Fever. Cough. Crying. A lot of crying. If things would have gotten worse, I would have taken her to the E.R." I say feeling completely drained.
"What's wrong Riles? You don't look so good either," says Maya, curling up to my side, where I then lay my head on her shoulder.
"Guess who called."
"Who?"
"Zay? I mean he's the only other close friend we have," guessed Farkle and how I wish it was him who called instead of him.
"Nope. It was his best friend. I CANNOT believe that I have to work with him all year. You know he had the nerve to say we could switch off on every other assignment, so it wouldn't be awkward. I would never do that with any other partner, what makes him so special. And if it's awkward then he will make it that way. I don't give a damn about him or his stupid reasons for straight up abandoning us. And for the likes of her at that, fuck him and her!" I stand up from the bed and began pacing back and forth seriously getting pissed off while ranting endlessly. When I finally shut up to catch my breath, I come eye to eye to a smirking Maya and her smug boyfriend.
"What?"
"Seems a lot like you care Riles. I mean from that long winded rant, I would think you care a lot," Maya looks at me before smiling at Farkle.
"What are you talking about? I don't care about Lucas in anyway. I am completely past the situation of me and Lucas. He is with Missy now, and I have you guys and let's not forget the greatest blessing I could ever ask for. I am not thinking about Lucas and how Aleyna will never know him and how she will grow up without a father and how he's gonna be miserable for the rest of his life because he missed out on knowing and raising an amazingly beautiful girl and-" I stop mid-rant after realizing that I was indeed ranting.. about Lucas. I sit back down between my two best friends and just relive my exhausting day. A day filled with annoyance, hard work, a sick baby, and a douche calling my phone for the first time in over two years.
"Sorry guys. I'm just beyond stressed and being partnered with someone who has caused a great deal of it in my life has got me on edge."
"We get it Riles. We know how tough things have been since the whole Lucas situation, but you are not alone in this and you never will be," says Farkle.
"I love you guys and appreciate everything you do for me and Aleyna, more than you will ever know. And I know you guys love me so I'm asking for a favor here," I say gathering their attention. "Can you guys please go with me tomorrow with your partners? I don't wanna be alone and I have a gut wrenching feeling about this little meet up. I texted Katy and she said she would keep Leyna until Mom or Dad get off in order to bring her home. Please?! Please please please?!" I pout at two of the most important people in my life besides my little girl.
"Fine, but if little miss Missy show up, I might punch her. Just a fair warning for ya," says Maya leaning back on the bed without a care in the world.
"And I'll go to maintain this one," says Farkle smiling fondly at his girlfriend since 6th grade.
"I love it when you maintain me baby," winked Maya which is definitely when I stepped in to stop the grossness.
"There is a child in the room... my child and I don't wanna hear any of that so cool it guys," I tease, but am dead serious about the couple talk.
"Yeah a child that you had to make with the child's father in compromising positions. Besides you're just jealous that Farkle chose me," my best friend says sticking her tongue at me.
"You wish and spare me with the 'where babies come from' jokes," and we all laugh at my expense. I'm not jealous, far from it because I am beyond happy for them. It's just hard sometimes to be in the mist of their adorable mushiness and their raging hormones. After the talking calmed, we all settled in order to complete our homework while baby girl slept. Today has been real suckish, but that was before I knew what tomorrow held.
