"You save your voice and I will come over as soon as school has finished" Riley said with a caring smile gracing her features. She seemed to be thinking over whatever was being said on the other end of the phone call.
"I love you too Farkle, now sleep!" She said with a mocking anger lacing her final words and she laughed as she hang up. She looked up from her phone screen and saw a familiar blonde sitting alone on the bench outside of the history classroom.
She tentatively walked over and sat down next to Maya with a blank expression but her eyes showed worry for her former best friend. Maya moved her head towards the sunshine that kept her alive for so many years and her eyes widen with unshed tears when she saw that the caring, worrying nature Riley had had for her had not faded slightly.
"Peaches" she said brokenly and Riley moved her arm to place it over her shoulders. Maya laid her head on Riley shoulder and breathed in the certain scent Riley carried. It was sort that comforted you in your darkest of hours and placed a small smile when you were in a hug as it made you feel at home. Riley had never told her the name or brand it was, insisting it was cheap typical perfume, but others knew differently.
"Why?" She asked with a small voice and an equally small smile played on her lips. Riley thought over that question and looked down at the blonde.
"Things happen for a reason and this is one of those things. We all changed and the split was a part in that. I have gotten so much closer to Farkle and I am thankful for that. He is an amazing guy. Your feeling towards Lucas drove a small part in it too but you just wanted see where that led" Riley said finally after moments of silence and Maya knew she was speaking small parts of the truth but for some reason anger bubbled up inside of her.
"We all changed huh? Well I still see a insecure Riley, nerdy Farkle, flawed Maya and an imperfect Lucas! I don't see how we have changed Riley! If we haven't changed then why are we fighting? Tell me that!" Maya yelled at Riley but little expression changed on the brunette's face.
"Because you are scared. You are scared that I was going to take away someone that meant a lot to you. So you came up with an excuse to free yourself from me and fed it to whoever listened, Maya. You said I still liked Lucas, that I was going to steal him from you. I am don't and I won't" Riley said in strangely calming voice and Maya was taken back. She had expected at least some yelling to come from the girl.
"What about Farkle at New Year's? He thought you loved Lucas!" Maya retorted thinking she had won the battle but Riley shook her head.
"He thought that because I refused to acknowledge my feelings for Farkle, himself. Gosh Charlie and Smackle saw it before any of us." She said chuckling slightly. Maya looked shocked but quickly covered her face with a look of indifference. Both girls barely heard the bell ring in the background signaling the end of lunch, because of the intense staring match that was happening.
Maya only came out of the eye contact when she felt arms wrap around her and looked up to see the face of Lucas. His stare turned cold towards Riley and the couple slowly walked past the Matthews girl. She leaned against a locker with tears streaming down her face and saw movement from the corner of her eye, in between the blurriness the tears were causing.
Her father stood in the middle of the doorway with a sympathetic face and ran over to his daughter to comfort her. Wrapping his arms around her, she clung onto his jacket while tears poured opening down her cheeks and onto Mr Matthews clothes. He sat them down onto the bench she was sitting on only minutes before and the only sound that could be heard in the hallway were the muffled sobs and quiet comfort words that the father and daughter produced.
There you go! I hope you liked it and please let me know what you think by reviewing! Any ideas for other chapters? Open to any suggestions!
