Chapter 5: Everything Unfolded

Maya's POV:

"Riley, trust me on this. Lucas will come to his senses, we just have to find evidence that Eva is not who she says she is." I said as I grabbed my jacket. "Where you going?" she asked. "Farkle and I are going to Eva's house, if anyone asks, just say were skiing. We will crack this girl." I said. "But what if Lucas doesn't believe us? Were you not here for the past couple of days? Eva purposely bumped into me and spilled hot chocolate over herself, then Lucas and I got into a fight over it. Then she tripped me and made ride on the cable cars with Lucas while she sat with Martin. I really think she said something to him because he has been acting weird to me all day." She said. "Like I said, we're going to crack this girl.' I said as I walked out of the cabin.

*Cable Cars*

Riley's POV"

Martin and I were waiting to go on the cable cars. Then Lucas and Eva came up behind us. "Hey, you guys made it down faster but we all ended up in the same place." I said. "Riley, we've been down like four times." Lucas said. As I took a step forward, I found myself faced first on the ground. Eva purposely tripped me. "Riley! Are you okay?" Lucas asked as he helped me up. Eva and Martin were already on the cable car and that left me with Lucas. Lucas and I had been weird around each other after the whole hot chocolate incident. So maybe it was time to be almost on solid ground. Even if we were hanging from a cable eight million feet in the air. "Eva and Martin seem to be hitting it off." I said trying to make conversation. "Yeah, she can talk to anyone." Lucas said as he looked at her. "Yeah, she always has so much to talk about." I said sarcastically. "What is that supposed to mean?" Lucas asked. "I didn't mean for it to come out that way. She's just interesting." I said. Lucas rolled his eyes. "Riley, do you have a problem with Eva?" he asked. Lucas and I dated before Eva, so of course he should've known that I had a problem with her.

"Riley, we have been over this, when are you going to stop being paranoid?" Lucas said. "I am not being paranoid, I'm just trying to protect you." I said. "This is why we needed a break." He said. "Last time I checked, we broke up and I started dating someone else and you started dating Eva." I said. Lucas's face dropped. He knew I was right. "It's not that easy. I don't really know what's going on, or what your problem is with her. But I really like her, so can you just do me a favor and back off?" He said. "It looks pretty easy to me and gladly!" I said as I took off.

Maya's POV:

"She's a lying slut and that's where she lives." I said as Brandon and I pulled up in front of Eva's house. "I didn't know I was driving you to a cat fight, I would've charged more." Farkle said as he unbuckled his seatbelt. "Very funny." I said sarcastically. We got out of the car and started walking to the door. "So why are we here?" he asked. "To get some more information about this Eva." I said as I rang the doorbell. A women with green eyes, short mahogany hair and a lot of Botox to her face answered the door. "Can I help you?' she asked. "I'm a friend of Eva Mansfield." I said. "I'm Eva's Mansfield." She said. Farkle and I looked at each other. She invited us in and we told her all about "Eva."

"That explains everything." She said as she pulled out credit card bills. "Thousands and thousands of dollars, the credit card company is still after me, they don't even believe I'm me!" she said as she handed us the papers. "Whoa, that is some criminal behavior." I asked. "My uncle is a cop, so I know," Farkle said. "Why isn't her name on any of these?" I asked. "Because she's a juvenile, her name has been redacted." Farkle and I were shocked. I couldn't wait to tell Riley. We thanked Eva and drove back to the ski lodge. "I can't believe it! For one her name isn't even Eva and she's a criminal!" I said. "We have to get to Lucas, but I doubt he would believe us, he doesn't even believe Riley, RILEY!" Farkle said as we continued to drive.

Riley's POV:

"This is my favorite part of skiing" I said as I snuggled up to Martin in the lounge. "Ugh. Riley and Martin already took the best seats in the lounge." Eva said as her and Lucas walked in. "There's plenty of room." Lucas said. "Not a good idea, plus I feel like she's staring at daggers at me," she said. Lucas looked over at me while I was messing with Martins hair. "Eva, I think you're being a little bit paranoid." Lucas said. "You're right, I'll go get us hot chocolates." She said as she walked away.

Maya's POV:

Farkle and I had one last stop to make and that was Eva's real home. "This girl's cover is about to be blown, she doesn't even live in our district. She is so out of here." I said as we got out of the car. We walked up to the door and knocked. An old women answered the door. "Yes?" she said. "Hi, I'm a friend of Ambers." I said. "I didn't even know she had friends." The women said. "I just love her." I said sarcastically. "Are you her mom?" I asked. "Her grandma, my daughter took off for Vegas years ago, come on in. She's probably in her room." she said as she held the door out for us. "Amber's downstairs?" I asked as we walked in. "She's probably studying, she's always studying." Her grandma said.

We walked downstairs, and it was just filthy, then we opened the door to Amber's room. I opened the door and turned the light on. We were shocked at what we saw. We saw photos of us on her wall, with our descriptions on it. Then she had a photo of Riley that she drew a big X over. There was fake ID's and credit cards everywhere, it looked like a horror film. "What the." Farkle said as we looked around. "This girl is psychotic." I said.

Riley's POV:

"Martin, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for things to end up like this," I said. "You know, I came here for you, I wanted to spend time with you. I didn't drive to two hours to see some psycho drama between you and your ex-boyfriend." He said as he packed up his stuff. "That is not what it is." I asked. "Then what is it? You know what just call me when you figure it out. In the meantime, I have some studying I have to catch up on since I've been blowing it off and I think you know why." he said as he walked out. It had been an hour since Martin and I fought. He was right. He came here to spend time with me and the only thing I've been doing is fighting with Lucas. I knew I had to make it up to him. So I called him and told him to go on a midnight stroll with me, we were going to meet each other by the bear.

Eva's POV:

After we drank the hot chocolate, I went inside the bathroom and saw Gloria in there. "Hey Glor, what's the matter?" I asked. She held up her pregnancy test, it was positive. I knew exactly what my next scheme was going to be. I took her pregnancy test from her, "Don't worry, you're secret is safe with me." I said as I walked out of the bathroom.

I walked back to the cabin and Lucas was in the shower. I made myself comfy on the bed, all of a sudden his phone rang, It was from Maya. Before I could answer, she already started talking. "Lucas, can you hear me? Eva is a compulsive liar, you have to get away from her!" she said. I quickly hung up and put Lucas's phone in the freezer to freeze it.

Riley's POV:

I was on my way to meet Martin, when Maya called me. "Hello?" I said. "Eva Mansfield is a compulsive, lying psycho path. You have to get to Lucas! Her name isn't even Eva! It's Amber Horton. I know Lucas doesn't believe you, but you need to try again. Also, before she came to John Quincy, she was home school and she's never in stepped foot out of New York. She was kicked out the school when she was nine, for stabbing someone with a fork. She's been homeschooled, by herself." She said. "Oh my god!" I said. "I tried to call Ranger Rick, but she answered. You need to find him now," she said as she hung up. I didn't know what to do at this point. Do I go and rescue Lucas? or Do I try to save my relationship with Martin. I figured I would stop by Lucas's on my way. So as soon as I got there I started to bang on his door. "Lucas! Lucas! Open up!" I yelled. Meanwhile, Martin was literally waiting for me outside in the light blizzard. No one answered the door. I ran to the lounge to use the phone, and Lucas still wasn't picking up. I decided to give up and I went to go meet Martin, but he had already left.

My whole world was crashing down on me. I didn't know what I was doing or where I was going. I didn't even know who to look for anymore, but then Maya came up to me. "Okay, so Lucas and Eva are staying in an isolated cabin, that Eva said she was able to use when really, they broke into it and Lucas has no idea. We have to go!" She said. "You know for someone who always teases him, you seem to care an awful lot." I said eyeing her suspiciously. "Riley, I am doing this for you, because I know that you still love Mr. HeeHaw. I'm helping you help him." She said. We went back to our cabin, I needed my best friend now especially since Martin left me. Eva has officially gotten what she wanted.

The next morning, I woke up feeling numb. Martin was gone, Lucas wasn't even speaking to me. The only friends I had on this trip was Maya and Farkle, but I would take them over anyone else any day, especially since things haven't been so great. All of a sudden, I felt someone jump on my bed. "Wake up honey, and get dressed. We have work to do." Maya said as she got off my bed. I quickly did as she said and we started walking towards Lucas's cabin. "Okay, so here's the deal. Lucas thinks that Eva knows the people that owns the cabin, when really they broke into the cabin while the owners are away. We need to save the kid. Farkle is going to meet us there right now." she said.

Lucas's POV:

My whole world was collapsing around me. How could Eva be pregnant? I used protection every single time. I am not ready to be a father. But I had to shake those thoughts out, it was snowing outside and it was perfect for snowboarding. "Alright, let's go, it's a powder day!" I said as I got out bed. "Oh, no I'm not really used to these conditions, ever since the white out in Vermont. I thought maybe we could stay inside and lay by the fire." Eva suggested. "Hmm. This place is pretty awesome." I said as I leaned in for a kiss. "Yeah, the shapers are pretty cool about letting me use their place, their hardly ever in the states." She said. "We should've just came here in the first place" I said with a grin. "Well, I thought we would stay with the group so that I can try and fit in, but I guess the more I try the more I get ragged on." She said. "Well, don't worry about them because it's just you and me now." I said.

It was time for Eva and I to have a talk about her pregnancy. "So have you taken a test yet? To see if you really are pregnant?" I asked. Eva's eyes widened. "Um, no I haven't. I will soon though." She said. All of a sudden the doorbell rang, it was Maya and Riley. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked. "Blowing that girl's cover. Eva's real name isn't even Eva. It's Amber Horton from San Pedro and she stabbed a guy with a pencil." Riley said as she quickly walked in. "Riles! Too soon." Maya said as she took her place next to Riley. "Okay enough! I know you guys have something against Eva, but you guys need to deal." I said. I was really angry at them right now. Are they ever going to stop? "Do you even know who she really is?" Riley asked. "Yes, I do she told me." I said. "And yet you're still with her?" Maya asked. "But she is my girlfriend, and it really is none of your business. Soon enough, Eva came to my side. "I'm pregnant." She said.
