Dreams That Do Not Matter (gmw fanfiction)

Girl Meets Mr. Squirrels Goes To Washington

Lucas' POV

Since the conversation about Verity and Missy with Daniel, I couldn't stop thinking about what he told me and what I told him. I've been thinking about it day and night and it seemed arriving at any sort of decision is impossible. What was I supposed to do?

But finally, I decided for what I believe is the only right thing to do. And what I'm about to do will no way be easy. I'll be breaking all my bonds with my previous best friends  to be friends with two girls nobody ever talks about and who are hated by mostly everyone.

But I believe that's the only thing that is right at this moment. Verity and Missy are not bad people. They shouldn't be treated as such. The only thing that upsets me that I'll be losing Riley, Maya, Farkle and even Zay. Of course, it would be great if everyone could be friends, including Verity and Missy, but I'm slowly starting to realize that that way of thinking is way too idealistic to be true. 

At least, I know I won't lose Daniel. He already told me that he's just as confused, and that he's unable to make a decision of any sort at the moment, whether it means to stay or to go, so he'll be with me. But I think he'll agree with me. He always seemed a bit more fond of this course of action.

I enter the classroom, but instead of taking my usual seat I go to the back of the classroom to take one of the two empty places next to the two girls as Daniel follows to take the other one. 

I just look at Verity and ask her, "May I sit here?"

To this, she just nods, but her face shows no change of expression.

I didn't want to break away from my previous group of friends in a manner that would be too obvious, but it seems everyone noticed anyway, because I can see Maya glaring daggers at me and others looking in my direction very upset too.

Verity's POV

To say I'm shocked to see Lucas and Daniel sitting next to usintead of sitting with Riley and her group is an understatement. However, I still manage to hide that well enough, so I don't think there is any trace of it on my face. 

Before I get the chance to go deeper into my thoughts or say anything, which to be honest I wasn't planning to do, but still, Mr. Matthews enters the classroom and scans the whole class. It's clear he has noticed the change of the seating arrangement, but he doesnpt comment it in anyway. Instead he poses a question, "Current events. Somebody tell me what's going on in the world.

At this Maya turns in our direction slightly and glares once more, she's been doing that ever since Lucas entered and instantly caught everyone's attention by this sudden change. "You mean like people betraying their best friends out of nowhere?"

Mr. Matthews seems startdled by this sudden accusation, he probably didn't expect things to turn out this way so soon. But that's the thing about me and Missy. Nobody has ever tried to befriend us after what happened ten years ago and since everybody pretty much at least has a dislike on us, anyone who decides to stick with us is going to be either the target of glares or eventually be ignored like we are.

"Alright, we'll get back to that one later. Now, somebody, please, tell me what's going on in the world," Mr. Matthews pleads.

Farkle finally answers him, "All the news is about the elections. So are all the commercials." 

"Why should we care about the elections when we don't get to vote?" Riley asks, clearly not having any idea.

And so, this discussion goes as usual, except that this time, Lucas and Daniel get excluded, because they are not a part of the main group and what's more, they are now hanging around two meanest and most worthless girls of the whole school. But when I look at them, they don't seem like they are upset by this.
