Disclaimer: I don't own Girl Meets World! It would be awesome but it ain't happening!
The next morning, Farkle, Maya, Riley, and Lucas all met up at Riley's house as they walked to the subway station together. Farkle, Maya, and Riley have noticed Lucas has been more tense lately, could it be about the fight? They wondered what could be on his mind. It isn't like Lucas to be distracted and not smiling. Instead he is on edge and doesn't look impressed on what's been going on lately.
"Hey Lucas, is everything alright?" Farkle asked his best friend standing in front of him
"Farkle, I know you care and you've been there for me but I really don't wanna talk right now!" Lucas said in a not so happy mood moving his head back trying to relax.
"You didn't get enough sleep didn't you?" Riley asked as she looked towards her boyfriend as they sitting beside each other holding hands. Lucas shook his head in disappointment. Riley bit her lip trying to find a few words to say to him.
"Lucas, I know the fight is-" Riley said trying to make a point before she is cut off.
"Riley stop! I don't wanna talk about it! I got a lot on my mind today ok?" Lucas raised his voice at Riley sounding agitated and stressed. Riley put her head down feeling hurt and as if she did something wrong to offend Lucas. Maya was able to pick this up and was the first to break the awkward silence. "So, what's the plan now huckleberry?" Maya asked Lucas.
"I don't know much, but all I need to know is that Zay has some explaining to do!" Lucas answered Maya not pleased.
Maya backed off, she knew she could not mess with Lucas when he's angry or stressed. As the four friends made their way to school, people have already been hearing the rumors that Lucas was going to fight Joseph in a few weeks, Lucas and Riley were hand in hand and noticed that blank stares people were giving them, Riley felt uncomfortable with all those eyes looking at her and her boyfriend like that, Missy Bradford came up to the couple with her arms crossed and not happy to see them stopping them as they were approaching Riley's locked before history class.
"So Lucas, I still can't believe you have the little baby here as your girlfriend!" Missy said insulting Riley by pinching her cheeks.
"Hey stop it Missy, we're not in a tolerable mood right now?" Lucas said trying to get Missy to back off.
"Oh why? Did Riley lose her bottle again?" Missy said keeping up the pressure on Riley mimicking as if she had a baby bottle in her hands.
"Yenno what Missy! I've had enough of your comments get out of our way before things get nasty!" Riley angrily answered back as her eyes opened up, yelling back at Missy and getting in her face.
"Woah woah woah! Ok there Matthews you need to be on a shorter leash…Perhaps Joseph can arrange something!" Missy said as she began to walk away.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" Riley yelled chasing Missy while Lucas follows behind her holing his girlfriend's arm to make sure she doesn't do anything serious.
"Ya, you heard me Oh btw, I'm pretty sure you don't know this but umm… Let me explain it in a way even you can understand! Joseph is my cousin!" Missy said getting in Riley's face before slapping her across the face!
Riley couldn't take it anymore! When Missy said Joseph was her cousin, Riley lost sense of reasoning and began attacking Missy by tackling her and even began to punch her multiple times! The crowd gathered quickly thirsting to see the fight between them some even getting their phones out. But before they could catch a picture or get a video of the two ladies fighting, Lucas got Riley off Missy, Farkle and Maya shewed away the crowd, and even Janitor Harley saw the mess as he held back Missy.
"Wow Zippy I never knew you had it in you!" Janitor Harley commented being surprised with Riley's actions.
"Yes and I am too!" An all too familiar voice called out emerging from a classroom.
The four friends stood completely still knowing who it was and felt a chill run up their spines.
"Is he behind us?" Farkle hoping the familiar voice isn't who he thinks it was.
"I hope not!" Maya said also hoping for the same thing.
The four turned around to see Mr. Matthews, and Mr. Turner who was visiting the school today! Both teachers were shocked to see what they saw.
"Riley! I don't even know what to say! How could you possibly do something like this when you know that I'm not too far away!" Mr. Matthews said as he walked up to his angry daughter trying to get an explanation out of her.
"It's not her fault sir! Missy was the one who kept provoking Riley!" Lucas said getting in front of his girlfriend defending her.
"Friar, Hart, Farkle….Get inside!" Mr. Matthews ordered them as both Maya and Farkle went inside the classroom to prepare for history class with Mr. Turner staying with them.
'Hey Matthews, you got this?" Mr. Turner asked concerned about his former student.
"…I hope so sir." Cory sighed hoping. "Missy you stay here as well. Janitor Harley, thank you you're free to go and resume your duties." Mr. Matthews directed as Janitor Harley went off with his mop and bucket into the second floor of the school. It was Lucas, Riley, and now Missy Cory had to deal with.
"Ok…Someone please explain to me what happened because I don't know how you were able to pull this off!" Cory said pointing to his fragile daughter.
"Sir, Missy provoked Riley multiple times verbally attacking her and myself." Lucas explained to Mr. Matthews.
"Is this true Missy?" Mr. Matthews said as he turned his attention to Missy.
"No sir! I didn't do anything of that nature." Missy said as she crossed her arms
"Dad! She's lying to you! Missy came right in front of Lucas and I and kept insulting me and to top it all off, Remember that Joseph guy that attacked Lucas a couple of months ago?" Riley asked standing up and was pissed off.
"Yes?" Mr. Matthews said as he cooled off Riley's temper and sat her down.
"Joseph and Missy are cousins!" Riley finished revealing to her father.
"But Riley, I know you hate Joseph for what he and his friends did to Lucas, but now is not the time to start attacking Missy like this! As for you and Missy, you both have detention today after school as punishment. Lucas, you can go to class. Tell Mr. Turner I'll be there in a few moments." Mr. Matthews ordered Lucas saying down the law to Riley, and Missy.
The two ladies were silent accepting their punishment as Riley and Missy separated going to their respective classrooms with Mr. Matthews not far behind his daughter as they entered Mr. Matthew's history class.
All eyes were on Riley, mostly of shock because Riley was the last person people would think to ever throw a punch. This was not like Riley, she made her seat knowing everyone paying attention to her. "Honey, are you ok?" Maya asked concerned for Riley as Riley placed her head down not wanting to talk to anyone.
"I'll be fine Maya, I just wanna be alone for now ok?" Riley said asking for some privacy.
"Alright sweetie, I'll be here if you need me ok?" Maya re-assured Riley comforting her by rubbing her right hand on her best friend's left shoulder.
Mr. Turner left the classroom to do his rounds and checked the school while Mr. Matthews stayed to begin his lecture. The lecture was about World War Two and about how when Britain was being attacked by Germany, Britain looked to their allies for help (Poland, Canada, and the US) Germany was closing in to attack Britain but with the help of their allies, Britain was safe and the allies fought off an invasion that was planned in August, 1940. Throughout the lecture Lucas kept an eye on his girlfriend who wasn't herself, it seemed the whole fight she had with Missy did a number on her, her tried reaching out to her a few times to comfort her but Riley didn't respond back.
Riley's POV
I can't believe Missy had the nerve to say those things to Lucas and me, I can't even believe I threw a punch at anyone! I don't know what going on with me…Things are changing and I hope I don't rub off on Lucas in terms of having a violent past. I don't want him to think badly about me, I just love him so much to make him leave. I hope he isn't disappointed at me for what happened, I just couldn't take it anymore from Missy OH and to top it all of Joseph was her cousin! That guy hurt Lucas and one of his friends layed his hands on me pushing me to the ground! I never forgot that moment about how a guy could push around a girl like that…Dad I hope detention today goes by quick because I need to talk to Lucas as soon as I can….But then again maybe I can visit Lucas at The Golden Tigers Dojo…I hope today will get better.
Lucas' POV
Wow! Riley seems really upset with what happened between her and Missy and what's with Riley throwing a punch and taking down Missy! I never knew Riley had that in her! A good trip to the dojo after school really sounds like a good idea right now to get all this stress off my shoulders, Mr. Matthews seemed really disappointed with Riley's actions today too but I don't blame Riley, maybe Missy hit those buttons people shouldn't hit especially with Riley's nightmare of the fight last night I think may have made it worse for Riley. Missy crossed the line today, but I'll make Joseph pays in full!
The bell rang as the Farkle, Maya, and Riley, and Lucas made their way to lunch and as they began to eat, Zay pulls up a chair beside them. He wasn't welcomed nicely as he was greeted with a cold stare from Riley, Farkle, and Maya… "What did I do?" Zay asked acknowledging the dirty looks he was being greeted to.
"What did you do?! How bout telling someone I beat up where I was! How bout putting my safety and Riley's safety at risk! Explain that to me Zay and it better be a good one! How did Joseph know where we were?!" Lucas yelled at Zay as whole cafeteria fell silent.
"Are you trying to tell me that I would ever put my best friend in danger?!" Zay argued trying to defend himself as both he and Lucas stood up and went nose to nose.
"Guys stop it! Lucas the last thing you need is to get into a fight! I don't want you to get suspended or worse expelled!" Riley said holding back her boyfriend as his fists were clinched and held by side.
"I wouldn't do anything to get you in danger! You were the guy who always bailed me out when shit hit the fan! C'mon Lucas! I want you to beat Joseph's ass and I want you to and Riley to shut Missy up!" Zay said explaining himself. Cooler heads prevailed, Lucas and Zay sat back down while Farkle and Maya calmed the crowd and things quickly went back to normal.
Lunch was over as the bell rang and school passed by a lot faster for Lucas knowing he had gym next. The game was basketball today and he was able to let out frustration. Eventually the school day was over. Farkle, Maya, Zay, and Lucas went home but not Riley and Missy as they still had to serve detention.
Author's note: Things are just heating up! Missy and Joseph are cousins, Lucas is channeling back his dark side from Texas, and Riley just discovered a dark side within her! What is going on! Farkle and Maya don't really know how to handle this and Zay is on the chopping block! This gets a whole lot interesting in the coming chapters! Tune in next time to see where things go from here! Have a great day everyone! :)
