When the two girls arrived at school they greeted by none other than Farkle.
"Ladies," he said
"Farkle." They greeted in unison while walking over to their lockers. The trio then began chat and slowly make their way over to history, Mr. Matthews – Cory's class.
"Huckleberry!" Maya said as he walked towards them.
"Pancakes," he greeted while tipping his imaginary hat.
"Why won't I ever get to you, it's been…" she paused counting on her fingers, "almost three years!" she exclaimed finishing her sentence.
"Keep trying pancakes," he chuckled.
"Farkle." Lucas said they began to do the handshake of awesomeness. nce finished he turned and looked at Riley.
"Hi," he said.
"Hi," she replied smiling slightly. The bell rang and cut their conversation short. The begun to walk to history together.
"Good morning, okay in today's lesson we will be learning about…" he began but Riley wasn't properly paying attention. She was currently looking at her phone. An unknown number just sent her a text that read, 'Riley, who do you think you are? Your just a little b****. Your friends don't even like you. They are only friends with you for pity.' Riley understood that people could be mean, so she let it be for now. She tried so hard to forget about it but the words kept repeating her head 'little bitch' and 'friends with you for pity.' She knew it wasn't true but she couldn't help but wonder…
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The class was already over and she walked to her next class. The next few classes flew by and it was already lunch. Riley just sat at the table and began to move her food around with her fork waiting for the others. Maya was first to arrive and she sat down right next to Riley and gulped down mouthful and mouthful. Farkle and Lucas can together chatting about science homework. Lucas plonked his tray across from Riley and, Farkle across from Maya and they sat down. As all of they continued to talk and eat, Riley kept playing with her food her head looking down and not interacting with the others.
"Riley, are you okay?" Lucas asked concern seeping through his voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just not feeling well." She mumbled as she got up from her seat, chucked her food away and walked out of the cafeteria.
"Guys, something up with Riley." Farkle whispered
"Nah, Sherlock." Maya muttered punching his arm. "I'll go see if she'll talk to me about it." Maya said and stood up to follow Riley.
"Riley! Riley!" she yelled as she ran down the hall. She found Riley at her locker taking out her books for the next class.
"What's up Honey? You didn't eat lunch today?" she asked her best friend.
"Nothing, just feel a little sick." She said slightly sniffling.
"I don't think that's it." She asked her blue eyes softening as she saw Riley on the verge of tears. "Oh, Honey come here." pulling her into a hug.
"It's fine, really, I'll be fine." Riley says after slowly pulling away.
"Okay, but I want you talk about it to me later." Maya replied seriously.
"Alright,"
"Ring power?" Maya said holding up her finger.
Riley couldn't back out of this now, "Ring power." She sighed. They made their way back to the cafeteria, books in hand, but before they could make it back the bell rung and off they went to their last few classes of the day. During one of her classes, Riley got another text, 'Your fat and ugly, Lucas will never like you, neither does Farkle. Why would they ever like a baby like you crying on and on? Maya, she shows you pity because you're just a little wussy. No one like you Riley.' Those last few words repeated in her head over and over 'No one likes you Riley.' A tear slid down her face and she quickly wiped it away, but not before Maya saw it. Something was wrong and Maya didn't like it at all.
