Meeting the world

Chapter 44

Farkle's pov

~

Why was I making a big deal out of this? I don't know. Maybe because everyone else had someone. Everyone else had a shot at falling in love. I didn't.

Maya had Lucas. Lucas had Maya. Even if they didn't know it yet, they are going to end up together. Everyone saw the way they were looking at eachother in class today. They were already in love. With eachother.

Riley was so pretty, and was such a caring and honest person. Guys are going to be falling head over heals for her.

I was just a small over confident loner who would never find love.

I lied down in the corner of the janitor's closet. No one would look for me here. I sat down and cried.

Maya's pov

~

I was heading to the gym, ready for the dance, when Missy popped out of no where and blocked the entrance.

"Get out." I said automatically.

She laughed.

"I'm not scared of you Hart." She spat my last name, like it was some kind of distusting word.

"Well I'm not scared of your empty threats, Bitchford." I replied.

She scoffed.

"Empty? You think my threats are empty? Well how about this one? If you don't leave Lucas alone, I'm going to make sure you have bruises on your face just like the ones you had a few months ago."

That was low. Even for Missy.

"How DARE you," I said, my voice rising.

"You don't know what I've been through, Missy. And you never will. So you can take your rich, arrogant ass and get the hell out of my way."

Missy violently grabbed the hem of my shirt and slammed me against the wall. My father's face flashed before my eyes. He had done the exact same thing to me. I snapped.

"Let go of me you BITCH!" I shouted, slapping her hand away.

She glared at me.

"That's it. You're so done. Get ready for the worst night of your life.'

With that she walked away.

***

It's been already 1 hour and I haven't seen Missy since she threatened me. Riley was worried, as usual. She really didn't know how to relax.

"Farkle isn't here.'

"Calm down Riles. It's fine. You heard him today. The kid doesn't like love."

She sighed.

"Maybe he's here and we just didn't see him. I'll go look for him."

"Riley-"

Too late. She was already gone. That girl was determined to make everyone happy.

Lucas came and sat down next to me.

"I realized that I actually hate dances."

I nodded.

"Same."

He smiled.

"Are you okay? You seem troubled. Something's bothering you, right?"

Damn. He figured out how I was feeling in 10 secondes. That's never happened before. The only person who could read me was Riley.

"Yeah...it"s nothing."

"Maya, tell me, I could help-"

A kid in a tux approached me and said:

"Farkle is in the hallway. He wants to talk to you, but he didn't want to come inside the gym. He wanted me to deliver the message." he said, adressing me, and not Lucas.

I stood up.

"I'll be right back." I said to Lucas.

"Take your time."

I headed into the hallway. It was kind of dark. No one was there.

"Farkle what the hell do you want? Just come in the gym and enjoy the dance."

Someone grabbed me from behind. They were strong firm arms. Definantly not Farkle's.

The person covered my mouth with their hand. I tried to cry for help but my screams were muffled by the hand. I struggled to brake free, but the grip was too strong.

I was thrown on the floor. I looked up and saw 3 guys. They were in the football team. Jordan, Will, and Mike.

"What the h-"

They stepped to the side and Missy appeared.

"I told you my threats weren't empty."
