Girl Meets Gone

Girl Meets Gone Part 2: Bug

Maya's POV

I feel weird sometimes when I pick up Riley for school. She's so calm but so...meh I don't even know, she's all over the place. Sometimes I feel sad. Like, what if Riley came picked me up for school one day, if I had a normal family like her. I don't know. Anyway, Farkle was waiting for us outside her door, its creepy. Face it, he's always creepy. I tell myself. But its not as creepy when you know he cares about you. And that's good. I've kinda had a crush on Farkle since like forever, but I should know, getting into liking someone leads to love, which leads to bad things, like stray children. That's weird to even think about. But Farkle really likes me, and I think may e I should go for it, just cause-

"MAYA!"

"Msorry what?"

"We were asking you if you did your report , cause its due today."
Damn!

"No, I didnt." Farkle looked at me and just smiled. I got lost in his eyes- whatever, its nothing. He reminds me of a bird, its kinda funny actually. We pretty much walked in silence until the subway where we saw 2 boys about 17 huddling in a corner. Riley was looking at them all funny like.

"You wanna talk to em don't you?"

"Yeah" she said

"Well I wouldn't-"

"Hey!" She yelled to em. They both jumped.

"What?"

"Why are you huddling in the corner?"

"We got shut down, locked out.We came out, they shut us out."

I knew this was gonna be bad...

Riley's POV

Came out? What?

"Maya, what does-"

"We should leave"
No I thought

Maya came real close to my ear and whispered,"They're gay. They told their parents that they were, and they threw em out!"

I just stood there. I sat down next to the boy with surprisingly fabulous hair, and plopped a dollar in his pocket. The other boy smiled.

"Thanks."

"Riley..." I followed after Maya then all of a sudden started to cry.
