Missing Pluto

And So It Begins...

Song: Save Me From Myself by Christina Aguilera

I am so sorry this took so long. I have been busy with School. This is a pretty short Chapter mostly because it's the intro to Riley and by association Farkle's Story. Not many other Characters in this one but I feel it's still important.

Thank You for the Votes and/or Comments. They mean a lot. 

I am hoping to have the newest chapter up soon. But as I said School keeps me busy. I am happy to stay it's started up so we'll see.

Enjoy Chapter 2: Excuse the mistakes.

[****]

After walking around for a bit Riley finally arrives in her History Class where she immediately notices Maya and Lucas. They're not in their seats. None of the Students are. It wouldn't be an issue if they weren't making out so unashamedly up against her desk.

And there it was again.

"You know most people use doors to enter a classroom." Riley doesn't register the voice. Instead, she is stuck in somewhat of a trance her eyes glued to the couple. Truthfully it shouldn't hurt as much as it did. Riley always did have trouble letting go of the past.

When the two finally break apart Riley makes a run for it, forgetting about the voice, forgetting that there were other people trying to enter the classroom.

"I am so sorry." Immediately she drops to the floor and starts picking up the book that fell to the ground. "Crap." And she knew all eyes were on her, she hated that.

"Riles you okay?" No.

"Ah...yeah peaches. You know me, just a bit clumsy." After picking up the last item Riley goes to stand up, a hand reaches out in Assistance. Without thinking, she latches onto them.

Farkle Minkus. Only she would be so lucky. And Riley knows he's a smart boy. Almost as smart as Smackle. And maybe he didn't know the entire story but judging by how he was looking between the three he knew slightly more than she wants him to.

Or maybe she was just projecting.

"Sorry. I was just-"

"Too busy staring into the classroom. Yeah, I noticed that." With that, he takes a step around her and sits in the seat just beside hers. Once again. Only she would be so lucky.

Throughout the entire period, Riley is barely paying attention. Instead, she spends her time drawing in her notebook. She lets her mind wander, her Fathers voice fading in the background.

When the bell rings Riley turns to tell Maya that she would meet up with them later because she had a question for another teacher. Truthfully she just wanted to get away from the couple. Maya gives her a hug and the two head towards the back door.

The downside of daydreaming. You miss a lot of things. Like what the homework was. Jotting down what was left of the notes Riley jumps at the sound of another voice.

"Forget how to use the door again?" Farkle is standing at the entrance facing her, a smile appeared on his face. How long had he been sitting there?

"Funny. Just caught up that's all. " Grabbing her bags Riley heads to the door, but the two collide, stepping into the same direction. "Shit." Riley leans down to pick up her things, her hair falling over her shoulder. Farkle doesn't move to help and to be honest, she didn't expect him to help.

"You are a terrible walker. " Rolling her eyes, Riley picks up the last of her things and stands in front of him.

"I can say the same for you. Do you mind?" Stepping aside, Farkle puts his hands up in defense. Riley steps forward only to collide into yet another body. She ignores the haughty laugh from beside her and bends down to pick up her things. But almost immediately she is jerked up to normal height where she finally sees who it was. Alex.

That's right, she was supposed to meet him after class.

"What the Fuck is this." Riley flinches at his tone. Not in School. She couldn't do this right now.

"Nothing. Alex, he's in my class. I needed the homework." His grip tightens around her arm, she winces using her other hand to stop Farkle from intervening she attempts a smile. "You know me, I was daydreaming, missed most of the lesson." If he didn't believe her, he did one hell of a job hiding it. Tossing a pointed glare In the other boy's direction Alex frowns. Pulling her towards him he lowers his voice, just above a whisper.

"Careful sweetheart, your brains are all you've got." Ouch.

Riley shuts her eyes, she refused to cry in front of him. But knowing what was coming next, some part of her couldn't help it.

"Nobody dates fat girls. I took a chance on you and all you do is embarrass me. You're an embarrassment. You don't deserve me and until you understand what you are. You'll continue to be worthless. "

Yeah. They've been over this before.

"I'm sorry." Her voice is so soft she isn't sure he heard.

"What?"

"I said I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm such an embarrassment. "

A grin grows on his face and he brings his hand to her neck, pulling her closer.

"Good Girl. " Pressing a kiss to her lips, he uses the chance to be physical as possible. A message for Farkle no doubt. When he finally pulls away, he looks at her in disgust. "Fix your make-up. And stay away from him." Riley nods, watching as he left the room. She could feel his eyes on her. Of all people, it had to be Minkus who witnessed it.

Not caring for organization Riley dumps everything into her bag and rushes out not allowing him to stop her.

And she hopes he would stay silent. For both their sake.

[****]

That night Riley goes to the park again. She couldn't sleep. It has been days since she last slept and she did not think it was possible to feel any worse than she did in that moment.

Someone lays down next to her, breaking her out of her trance. Without looking she knew who it was. Same person it always was.

Farkle.

"I don't want to talk." For a while he says nothing, instead, he watches the sky.

"Good. Neither do I. "

Riley didn't know it yet but Farkle would grow to be an important part of her story. And Farkle didn't know it but Riley would become an important part of his own.

Thank You for reading. As I said this is the start up of their friendship. We've only seen from Riley's POV  and may add a bit of Farkle's POV just so we can understand his behavior .
