Saving Maya ~ Rilaya [DISCONTINUED]

♡Chapter 2♡

♡Maya♡

I sat down in my desk next to Rileys right before the bell rang. I look at my surroundings. Lucas sat a seat behind me and Farkle sat across from Lucas on the left side from the teachers view. Farkle was all decked out in Belgium flags and garb because we were learning about Belgium 1831, the only think he doesn't know and it always gets blown off because of other "more important" issues.

"Belgium 1831." Cory said, glancing at farkle.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Farkle screamed in his awkward toned voice.

Cory just smiled and continued. "In 1831, Belgium declared independence from the netherlands. Before that, Belgium, Luxemburg, and the netherlands were all formed into one country. In 1831 The first king of Belgium, Leopold, Marked a new era for those three countries to become united as one. You'll still notice similarities in the Belgium, Luxemburg and netherlands flags, they share a lot of the same traits but arn't the same. Now as well they speak different languages." He concluded, as farkle raised his hand.

"Farkle?" Mr. Matthews called out. "So did the Netherlands just accept the fact that Belgium wanted to seperate? Or was there conflict?" Cory pointed at him with a grin.
"You bet there was conflict." He continues to pace around the room. "As a matter of fact, Belgium wanted their own country so they started a conflict with the Dutch Republic, and with trial and error, they won. On the 21st of july 1831, Leopold was crowned king once again and that is still the national day of Belgium to this day. On that day, they celebrate their independence. Just like us on the forth of july."

Riley looks over to me with her eyes wide and brain nearly exploding with imagination. "Fireworks..." She whispers with a loud tone. I just chuckle in responce.

"Great! Now I truly do know everything!" Farkle jumps out of his seat exitedly.  "And this time there was no interruptions!"

I look up at the teacher in front of me, slightly confused. "What does this have to do with our lives Mr. Matthews?" I ask.  He looks at me directly and states, "I was just about to get to that, Maya. Good question." I smile.
"

Belgium spoke their mind, they wanted to be separate and different from other People and countries. They wanted to be their own person and not have to fit in with the other countries." He looks at me,  Riley, Farkle and Lucas.
Does he know about me?....course not.

"So I challenge you today to not care what others think of you and be open and real towards people. You never know what you'll learn about people and or yourself." 

Soon the bell rang and shoving and shuffling of papers into binders and feet out the door were the distinct sounds around me. Before the whole of the class was out the door he spoke quickly.
"Remember to give examples of how you were yourself tomorrow and tell me what you all learned!" All of a sudden everyone groaned. "C'mon matthews, you know I can't remember things real well." I say, winking and walking out the door with Riley, Farkle and Lucas.

♡Lunch♡

I had to tell farkle. Right now. If I was gonna do it, I had to do it now. It was the only free time for the day. I didn't have many more classes it him after lunch. I shove some french fries into my mouth then grab Farkles collar on his shirt.
"Come with me." I say, while Riley is off getting lunch with Lucas.
"Okay what are we doing?" He says exitedly. "I need to tell you something." And I walk out into the hallway and shove the both of us into a janitors closet.

"Maya, are you okay?" He asks, worried about me because I wanted to talk to him and him only.

"This must be serious if you only want to talk to me about it."

"It is." I reply with a short tone. I need to talk to you about Riley....And me. His face turns to confusion. I hesitate to say anything but it just spurts out.

"Why wouldn't  you go to Ril-"

"I'm Gay, Farkle." I wince for a moment, afraid of what he would say, but he didn't even say anything. He just stood there smiling. Then soon enough I'm in his warm embrace of a hug, and it was the best and most supportive hug ever. I feel a single tear on my shoulder and he whispers.

"Me too, Maya, me too."

My eyes widen at the fact that I was right, and I wrap my arms back around him, returning the hug.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask him, my hand on his shoulder.

"I was afraid you guys would all hate me." I chuckle slightly. "We would never, EVER, hate you Farkle. Your our wonderful Farkle and we all still love you." I encourage him.

"And, why didn't you tell me?" Farkle adds. I reply with his same answer.

"I was afraid you would hate me. Or at least think of me differently." I add.

"Never." Farkle replys simply. We both sit in silence for a moment.

"I uh....Also really like Riley." I wince again.

"Oh...."

"Yeah..."

Farkle looks at me it empathy, and smiles a sad smile.

"I honestly think that is adorable." Farkle says.

"But there's a big problem." He adds.

"She likes lucas." We both say in unocin. I sigh but smile out of self pity and look up at Farkle while a single tear falls down my cheek.

Soon enough farkle looks at me and says.
"You have to tell her Maya. She needs to know otherwise she will keep liking Lucas. C'mon it's not like she will treat you differently!"

"That's the problem." I add.

"What?" I roll my eyes playfully and continue.

"I want her to think of me differently. I want her to like me farkle. But she never will." 

"She will."

"What?" I say confused.

"I have a plan." He whispers into my ear.

I give farkle a weird look and try to speak but he interrupts. "Just listen, it could work." He prys. I look at him and speak.
"Look farkle, I don't want to force her to like me and I don't want to take her away from Lucas either. I love her but I'm going to suffer my pain until she knows and I'm just going to have to deal with that okay?" I smile out of slight fear thinking of Riley rejecting me.
That's what I don't want to happen.

"I don't want to get hurt, okay?"
Farkle looks at me, teary eyed. I can tell he feels bad for me and he's the only one who understands. But he doesn't need to get involved in something he doesn't want to do.

"Lets...just get back to lunch okay?" Farkle nods and we start walking towards the cafeteria bt soon stop quickly at the doors.

"Farkle...." He looks at me slightly confused.

"Let's eat out here today, okay?" Farkle looks over to where I am to see Lucas Kissing Riley at the lunch table.
He looks at me, while I attempt to hold in my pain but I fear it shows all over my face. His eyes soften and pulls me into a hug.

"Okay."
