Maya POV

I have yet to talk Lucas or anybody really. I just stayed in my room for the rest of the weekend, my mom would pop in and out to check on or if I'm hungry, I never was. I didn't go to Riley's house at all or texted her. I didn't upload any of my social medias on my John Quincy Adams Social Page just because I wasn't up for it. Now it's Monday and I really do not want to go to school and see my friends. I wore stressed jeans and a black and purple hoodie with ripped elbows. These were the clothes that Kermit or my so called biological dad gave me. I slouched my way to history where I was I dunno 10 minutes late for. I opened the door and saw Matthews and all my friends looking at me as a slumped in my chair looking at my desk.

Cory- Maya, your late.
Maya- I know Matthews.
Cory- Why?

I stayed silent, I haven't said anything yet the whole day and I say "I know Matthews." Riley turned to me and looked at me deep. As if she was looking into my soul. She turned back over to her dad.

Riley- Maya was sick.
Cory- What?
Riley- She was sick. Very sick. So sick that she couldn't talk to me all weekend.
Cory- Maya would you like to visit the nurse and tell her about your weekend.

I kept quiet.

Cory- How bout if Riley brought you.

I didn't say a word.

Farkle- I'll take her.

I shot my eyes at Farkle you kept his attention to Matthews.

Cory- Ok, Farkle go ahead. Maya.

I groaned and stood up and walked out with Farkle. I still didn't say anything, I felt his eyes watch my every step.

Farkle- Are you going to talk?

Nothing.

Farkle- If you're not going to talk then I'll talk. Maybe that'll make you speak up.

Still nothing.

Farkle- I know you weren't sick because Riley told us that you needed time.

If you're expecting me to day something then...you're wrong.

Farkle- I was fine cause I knew you needed space. But then 5 minutes later I had a panic attack and I was like going to die.

What a surprise!!! Nothing.

Farkle- Aren't you going to ask what?

Uhm...nope.

Farkle- Well...me and Riley broke up.

My mouth just let out a drop. Riley like loves Farkle, like Lucas is old news for her. And I still don't know if that's good or bad news. I grabbed Farkle's collar and slammed him into a locker.

Maya- What did you do to Riley? I want to know and I want to know now.

I watched Farkle's face as he was sweating nervously. I released him and let him loose as we sat against the lockers.

Maya- When did this happen?
Farkle- Saturday.
Maya- Farkle I am-
Farkle- You mean when did it not happen?
Maya- What are you talking about?
Farkle- Me and Riley didn't break up. It was just a white lie to make you talk.
Maya- Oh, well then-

I slapped Farkle on the arm not too hard, well maybe for me but for Farkle...better if I don't say. Let's just say he sounded like,  a dying goldfish.

Farkle- Ow.
Maya- Yeah that sounds familiar.
Farkle- What?
Maya- That word...it sounds very familiar.
Farkle- What do you mean?
Maya- It's the word my heart has been saying forever.
Farkle- Oh.

We stood up and started walking, I walked the opposite direction than Farkle.

Farkle- Nurse is this way.
Maya- Nah...I don't have to go.

Farkle nodded as we headed back to class.

Lucas- You're back.

I nodded as I sat down in my seat.

Matthews- Ms. Hart, are you okay?
Maya- Since when have you called me Ms. Hart?
Matthews- You will be called Ms. Hart many times I'm the future Maya. It's just the way life is.
Maya- Speaking of which. Why are some things in life just the way it is?
Matthews- Such as?
Maya- You get friends you stick with em, and things happen, why is it like that?
Matthews- Good question, which brings me to today's lesson.
Whole class- Ugh.
Farkle (loudly) Maya (to herself)- Yay.
Matthews- So, you get friends. Now I want everyone to go to their friends.

Me, Riley, Zay, Farkle, and Lucas formed a circle.

Matthews- Now, Ms. Hart, I want you to pick your least favorite friends.
Maya- How can I do that?
Matthews- Fine, pick the people who are more than friends.

The only person I can think of is Riley, she's like the sister I never had.

Maya- Riley, my sister from another-Matthews.
Matthews- Is that all?

I looked at all my friends, they're all my best friends.

Maya- Actually, all of them are more.
Matthews- How?
Maya- They're my best friends.
Matthews- And that's why you must treasure them and stay with them. You're all a puzzle piece in your little groups of friends, you fit together perfectly. Treasure it. Class dismiss.

We headed out of the classroom and we all came across a poster.

Zay- "Singles night" huh? 
Farkle- "The night to find your perfect match."
Riley- "Your other half."
Maya and Lucas- "The One."

Everything got awkward after.

Riley- Well who's going?
Zay- I am! There may not be cheerleaders but there's gotta be someone.
Farkle- I'm not.
Maya- Why?
Farkle- Because I already found my other half.

We watched Farkle glance at Riley as she blushed back. They are literally goals right now. Me? Jealous? No way.

Zay- Lucas are you going?
Lucas- I don't know.
Farkle- Maya?
Maya- Yeah, I guess I'll go.

Lucas' eyes went wide. He nodded as we all went our separate ways.

Great now I have to get ready...for Singles Night.

Riley helped me get ready. I wore this outfit.

And Topanga did my hair, it was a simple braided headband.

I hugged both of them as I walked out of the house.

Riley- Text me the details!
Maya- I will!
Auggie- Don't  have too much fun!

I rolled my eyes as I chuckled and walked out. I entered the gymnasium and looked around. I spotted the punch bowl and walked towards it. Just then a guy with a black cowboy hat walked towards me.

Maya» Its no mystery that the the boy under that black cowboy hat is...Lucas Friar!!!!
?» Excuse me?
Maya» Cmon Lucas, you dont have to be embarrassed. Admit it you came here because of me.

I stared at the face thats been covered by the cowboy hat.

Maya» Ok take off that dumb hat.

I pulled the hat out and saw a face that wasnt Lucas, it was someone, someone I didn't know....
