Broken Hearted

Chapter 7

Topanga's POV

I put the three plates of toasted muffins, scrambled eggs, sausage on the table as I glance at the clock to checked what time it was.

6:32 AM

"Riley, Auggie!" I yelled. "Breakfast!"

"Coming!" Riley and Auggie yelled back simultaneously.

All of a sudden I think about the fight me and Riley had yesterday. 

..I feel really bad for yelling at Riley. I would've washed those dishes and cooked dinner but if I didn't finnish those papers for work I don't know what my boss would say. I hope she didn't stay up to long to do homework even though I told her to go to sleep at 9..

I got snapped out of my thoughts when Auggie came out of his room with his backpack on.

"Good morning Auggie!" I said with a smile on my face.

"Morning! Oooo scrambled eggs!" Auggie said with a bright smile on his face as he picked up his fork and was about to dig in.

"Wait! We have to wait for Riley!" I said taking his fork and putting it down.

"But I want to eat my scrambled eggs!" Auggie whined then yelled "Riley time for breakfast! There's scrambled eggs!"

Riley's POV

"Coming!" I yelled back (again), put my backpack on my shoulder, and looked at myself in my full length mirror.

I decided to wear a grey longs sleeves with a lace detail near my wrists (which didn't show my bandages luckily), a black, pink, and blue floral romper on top of the long sleeves, white knee high socks with a black stripe, and black ankle boots with gold claps.   

I was going to wear more of a tomboy outfit. Something that included ripped jeans and not dresses or skirts. Something that didn't have floral print. But I was pretty sure my friends and classmates would question it.

I yawn as I walked out of my room and into the kitchen.

"Good morning to my wonderful, happy family!" I said with a fake smile as I hugged my mom and ruffled Auggie's curly hair. "Where's dad?" I asked as I settled down in my seat.

"He went to school early-" mom said as she got cut of by a buzzer.

"What's up weirdos!" Maya said through the speaker.

..Maya? She hasn't come by in a while. Why right now?..

I get out of my seat, skip towards the speaker box, and said "Come on up Maya!"

"I haven't seen much of Maya recently," mom said as I sat back down. "Is she doing okay?" she asked with a little concern in her voice.

..Why is she so concerned about Maya rather than being concerned about her daughter not getting enough sleep?..

"Oh Maya? She doing fine! Finer than fine! In fact she's doing great!" I said overdoing it a little.

"Okay then, you kids can start eating." mom said as she started putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher. "Oh Riley," mom started.

..Oh no. She's going to ask me about my cuts..

"Have you seen one of my knives while you were cleaning yesterday night?" she continues.

"Oh, nope, no, I haven't seen it. What, do you think I have it for some reason?" I said trying to hid the nervousness in my voice.

"No, I was just asking." mom said.
