Mrs. Insecure meets Mr. Perfect || Rucas

❁ Chapter 12 ❁

Riley's  POV.

                                  "Riles, I don't think I can do this."  Maya looked at me with excitement and concern mixed in her eyes. Tonight she was going to meet up with Josh at Topanga's and hopefully he would tell her how he really feels. I know Josh, and when it comes to confessions, he just can't do it.

I caressed her arm, trying to calm her down with a small smile, "Maya, everything will go fine. You will have a great time, trust me. You just have to calm down, okay?" I really hope I'm right.

"You're right." She with her eyes glued to the floor. She had been pacing back and forth, worrying about her meet up with Josh. She had been babbling about stuff she thought he would talk about, like him liking another girl and wanting her advice. On that one she had pointed out that he would be very stupid to ask the girl who has liked him since...forever, about advice on another girl. She said she would give the opposition advice and make the girl hate him.

"I just...need some air." She walked up to the windows and walked out, standing on the fire stairs.

I shook my head and sighed when I herd my phone. I walked over to my desk and picked up my phone, checking the ID.

Farkle Minkus.

I slide my finger across the screen and took up my phone to my ear. "Hi, Farkle. What's up?"

"Riles, hey. Eh, nothing just doing some research." He said with a sigh and I could hear him changing pages in a book.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Research?" He hummed in reply. "What kind of research, Farkle?" I chuckled and looked at Maya through the window, checking if she was okay.

"Eh..um..well, you know.." He sounded stressed and it also sounded like he didn't know what to say. I furrowed my eyebrows even more when I heard someone else with Farkle.

"Farkle..?"

"Y–yes?" He stuttered out.

"Who are you with?" It maybe wasn't really my business who Farkle was with, but I was curious. The voice sounded like a male voice; thick and husky. I was trying to point out who's voice it was when Maya walked inside the room, giving me an confused look.

"I...eh...you see– well.."

"Farkle." I said making him shut up. "You're making no sense. Who are you with?" I looked at Maya and shrugged.

She rolled her eyes and walked up to me, snapping the phone away from my hands. "Farkle, I want you to tell me now who you are with." Farkle was talking in the other end and Maya was nodding her head, humming every now and then until her eyes widen and she looked at me. "You are what?!" I furrowed my eyebrows and Farkle kept talking to Maya.

After a little while, Maya looked at me and smiled sweetly and walked out of my room leaving me confused. What was that all about?

Maya's POV.

"Farkle Minkus, I want an explanation now!"

I had walked out of Riley's room when Farkle answered my question. He was with Lucas. I was angry. He knew that prick had broken our little Riley's heart and had made her confused, still he was friends with him. Farkle, who cares about Riley just as much as I do, had gone behind our backs, Riley's back.

He sighed, "Maya, please."

"No!" I yelled through the phone, "Farkle, you know how much he hurt her!" I was disappointed that Farkle had done this. And in case he doesn't have a good reason enough for why he did this, I will be furious.
