Not the Only One /GMW/

Part 11

"Partner project, Maya and Lucas, you are together, Farkle and Riley, you are together." Mr. Matthews said.

The look on Riley's face was so sad I almost felt bad that I got Lucas, but wait. Lucas is my boyfriend. We haven't made it official to the group yet! What will Riley do? What will I do?

Lucas looked at me with loving, caring eyes that I could get lost in.

"Do you want to go to my house to work?" Lucas asked.

"Sure. I haven't been to your house yet."

"You haven't? Wow. You have a lot waiting for ya."

"Do you guys want to work with us at Topanga's?" Riley asked.

"Uh, we are going to my house after school, sorry." He said.

"Oh."

--------------------------

We were just arriving at Lucas' street. We turned the corner and I saw the biggest house ever. It was a nice, blue and white home- I mean mansion. That house is huge!!! We walked in the front door and I gasped. 

"Woah. This house is amazing!!"

"I knew you'd like it."

We went up to his room. It was filled with trophies and medals for riding, baseball, and football. 

"Alright. You ready?" Lucas asked, a glint of mischievousness in his eyes.

"Never."

"Excellent. I do my paper, you do your paper, and we collaborate in 15 minutes?"

"Sure."

I really didn't want to write about my childhood. My childhood was a complete mess, a horrible mess. My mom and dad fought all the time. My dad was abusive to me, but not my mom.  My mom still loved my dad when my dad left, so I couldn't sleep because of her sobs. I would go to her room in the night to try to make her feel better, but nothing worked. We moved many times because of her acting jobs and the landlord kicking us out. I never really had real friends or a solid place until I met Riley. I don't want any more pity than I already had. I do not want to write about my failed childhood. Maybe I could make one up. Yes, I'll make the perfect life.
