No Strings Attached [F.M.]

Farkle sat there for a while, unable to do anything. His phone vibrated in his hand. He takes a quick look at it, Maya.

'Hey,' he said.

'Farkle, I was just on the phone with you like twenty minutes ago, planning to hang out. I call (y/n) and she says you're sick. Two minutes ago, she called and I had to lie that you were sick. Care to explain why I'm saving your ass?' She shouts through the phone.

'I-I don't know what's going on. I just couldn't bring myself to met her today. I lied to her saying I'm sick. I wanted to hang out with you guys so I could sort myself out. But now I feel terrible,' he sighs.

'FARKLE, next time, just tell me. I'll cover you. I'm coming over with Riles in five minutes.' Maya hung up. Farkle sighed heavily. What was going on? Why was he feeling like this? He didn't get it.
