Behind The Smile (Lucaya)

Aftershock (24)

* Mayas POV*

As I walked home, I couldn't help but smile.

I was giving up. Until he came.

He saved me.

In thought about Riley.

If a boy can come between us that easy, is it really worth it?

I don't think I can just, throw away all the years of friendship, but I just can't face her.

Not after what she's done.

* Lucas POV*

As I finally reached the gym, I knew what had to be done.

I would listen to Maya, but I was not going to be forgiving.

I quickly approached Riley and Farkle.

They were talking, then Riley turned too me.

"Oh, welcome back, Lucas." She said in a flirty voice.

"Riley, can i talk too you?"

She smiled

"Of course. See you, Farkle."

Farkle gave a confused, yet slightly hurt look.

We walked into the hall, as i turned too face her.

"So Lucas, what would you like?"

I quickly looked at her seriously.

"I know what you did."

She gave a puzzled look.

"What do y-"

"Maya. I know what you said."

Her face fell, and she bit her lip.

"Lucas, whatever she told you is a lie."

"Oh really? Well, she didnt tell me anything. I saw the video."

Her face fell once again.

"What."

"She recorded everything. I saw everything."

"Lucas i-"

"No! Im done with you, Riley Matthews! You were a terrible friend, person, and family member to the person i love! Dont you know how much you mean too her? Do you even care? Well obviously not. I don't want you too ever go near her again. And the same goes for me, too." I yelled.

A few tears escaped her eyes, and i felt my heart soften slightly. But she deserved it.

I walked off, leaving her there.

As the cold air hit me, i felt a sigh of releif.

It was over. It was done.

I walked out of the school building with a sense of pride.

"Things will finally be okay."

*Rileys POV*

I slowly sat down against the lockers.

I had ruined myself.

My crush, my reputation, everything.

I felt a sense of anger come over me.

Its her fault! If only she couldn't have fell for him!

I buried my face in my sleeves and let a flood of hot tears come.

I would have to rebuild everything.

I sniffled.

But i was Riley Matthews, and i knew i could do it.
