Intervention
"I-its like I don't even know you," she stuttered.
Always a dramatic.
"Mom I'm tired of trying to convince you guys that I'm fine."
Silence consumed the room once again and their eyes were fixed on me, refusing to let me out of their sights.
Their worried glances had irked me further, and before I knew it...
I Cracked

"So what are you going to do, or should I ask what are they going to do?"
"Their confused, maybe shocked...
I feel kind of bad"
He placed his hand on my shoulder giving it a reassuring squeeze, before giving me a knowing look.
"I don't want to do that any more," I breathed, brushing away his hand along with his silent suggestion.
"Then take responsibility,"

Once I entered the class room I felt his eyes instantly fall on me. It was like he didn't realise I allowed myself to be caught by him.
"Just... Just sit down Ms. Mathews," he greeted for the first time that morning.
I gave him a curt nod before sitting next to Farkle, noticing Smackle's absence when I did this. He quirked an eyebrow at me and I simply shrugged.
He went on stiffly with his lesson and I opted to start a long awaited conversation with Farkle. I quickly jotted down something on a piece of paper and handed it to him. He looked up at me with a surprised glance before scribbling his answer down handing me back the note.
-Why do you care?
I glared at him and he simply responded with a shrug.
Class had continued like normal, and just as the bell rang I grabbed Farkle by his shirt and dragged him out of class garnering some confused glances from classmates and my father.
"Riley what the-"
"Don't you dear tell me that again," I practically shouted.
His eyes widened at my outburst and when he saw my shaking fist he placed a hand on my shoulder in an attempt to calm me.
"You're causing a scene, lets go some where and talk"
He led me to an empty classroom and shut the door behind him once we entered.
"How- How could you think I didn't care. That's the entire fucking reason for me doing this," I began barely giving him the chance to start a conversation.
"Those who won't hear will feel," he quoted, "weren't those your words,"
I swiped the newly forming tears from my eyes before looking away from him. "She disappointed me, so what?"
"Riley-"
"I'm allowed to get pissed Farkle, or did you forget that too?"
He let out a long exasperated breath looking me directly in the eye.
"What do you want to hear exactly, that I understand your ignoring her, or that I care people are seeing through your little facade?"
I blinked in surprise and watched him as he walked closer to me. His voice became hushed and it was at that close distance I noticed his blood shot eyes. "What can I say Riley, besides you're manipulative?"
"So?"
"So stop pretending to care about Maya, or anyone else for that matter, because i don't believe you. After all I taught you all know about this kind of thing,"
I watched him leave after that and sat down in a chair when he closed the door.
I still care...

"I still care" I said practically out of breath.
Anthony gave me an amused look, putting His hands up in mock defeat. I glared at that dumb smirk he was wearing as I was venting.
"He just dismissed me, like I wasn't by her side for all those years before. And the one moment of weakness I have they both reject me,"
"Sometimes its just one crappy move to make the entire thing fucked," he said easily with a shrug.
"How eloquent,"
"Thanks,"
I rolled my eyes and then returned my attention to the view below me.
"So you gonna always drag me up here when you want to rant?"
"What's wrong with the roof?"
"...nothing,"
〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜Author's note〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜:
Gah I know it's been a while (sorry), but expect more updates to come. I can't promise a decent update schedule because I'm a trash human being going through university, but I'll do my best. I plan to finish this story though- in maybe a couple more chapters, it's not going to pass twenty chapters that's for sure. The reason for that is because I kinda lost track of what was suppose to happen next in the story and now I'm confused. I mean I know what the end game is suppose to be, but what happens in between? (pff heck if I know).
Any ways thanks to those faithful chaps who are continuing to read this story even with my crappy updating- means a lot to me, and its hella motivating. And for those who didn't know I actually have another gmw fanfic up, it relatively new with longer chapters, and more dramaaaaa. So check it out if you want- it's called Insomnia. Welp that's it thanks for reading this chapter I'll see you when I upload the next one Walk good
