I do not own Girl Meets World or any of the characters
I apologized to Riley and Maya who forgave me and said it was okay. I didn't explain that I was working two shifts the night before or that I had three shifts that night, they just assumed I was lazy. So now I sat in Mr. Matthews class like I do everyday watching my best friends get awarded.
"Graduation and awards night is coming up. I am very proud of this class. Several of you will be recognized for your achievements throughout the year."
Maya and I looked at each other and knew what we had to do. "Awards are a scam! A girl like us never had a chance, Matthews. Never had a chance."
We looked over at Riley, "All right, I'll do it but it's ridiculous." Riley stood up with us. "It's a scam, Matthews! They never had a chance!"
"Maya will be receiving the Griff Hawkins Totally Cool Award." Maya sat down coolly. "And Revel you receive the Most Likely To Sleep During Anything Award." My heart stopped. Was this a joke? Sure I slept in class a lot, but that was because I either had a late shift or because Amabella kept me up all night.
Before I started to break down in class or have a flashback, I grabbed my backpack and found janitor Harley. He and Farkle were in the storage room talking.
"Farkle what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in class?" I asked him. Farkle looked up from his computers.
"Revel! What are you doing?"
"I asked first." I put my hands on my hips. I was mostly avoiding talking about my embarrassing award.
"I-I'm hiding out." He confessed.
"From who?"
"No one!" He replied quickly. He was hiding from someone. Who?
"Okay." I shrugged. I learned from experience that some people just wanted to keep it to themselves. If he wanted to tell me, he would.
He turned and faced back to his computer. He pushed a few buttons. Suddenly I was hearing Riley's voice. "Sometimes I kinda feel invisible."
He pulled a mic up and spoke. "Sometimes you want to be invisible, Riley. Believe me."

"My congratulations on your confidence award." Harley told Farkle. Harley and I just got done cleaning the music room. "Will you be leaving the luxury of my custodial suite now?" He asked Farkle. Farkle smiled a little bit at his joke, but there was still something wrong with him. Harley turned to me. "And you, are you going to go back to class.... Ever?"
"You think we're hiding out, don't you? Well, Farkle and Revel don't hide out from anyone... except my aunt Barbra, she's a lip kisser." Farkle explained.
"You're avoiding someone, Farkle and Revel. What happened?"
"I was given the Most Likely to Sleep During Anything Award." Both of them gave me weird looks. "I know, dumb reason to run, but..." I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "I work forty-two hours a week. If I'm lucky. I go straight to Hawkins Diner after school to work my six hour shifts. Sometimes, since I'm new, I have to cover for other people and I end up working twelve hour shifts. Then when I get home, I have to care for Amabella. It's...." I didn't know how to explain it. "I don't mean to fall asleep, I just get so tired, I can't help it." Farkle hugged me. "Thanks Farkle."
"What about you Farkle, why are you hiding out in my closet?"
"I don't think it's something you can relate to janitor Harley."
