S5 E1 - Girl Meets The Forgiveness Project Part 2 (Coming Out)

*At the end of the school day*

"Finally! School is over!" Riley shouts while stretching a little bit while Zay and I sigh
"Yeah, talk for yourself, we have detention" he says in annoyance
"How is it possible that you two got detention on the first day?" Smakle asks
"Hey! It's not our fault!"
"Yeah, he's right! It's not our fault! It's his fault!" he glares at me
"See, the mashed potatoes were more solid, you know, like...normal potatoes"
"Or bricks"
"So that's why I started mashing them"
"Yeah, but some of it got into my eyes!"
"It's not my fault! It was an accident! You're the one who mashed the potato in my face!" I scoff
"To teach you a lesson!"
"You guys are unbelievable. I mean it. I've never met someone as immature as you two" Farkle says while laughing
"Really? Sweetie, look! A butterfly!" Riley turns her head to where Missy is pointing at
"Where?!"
"See?"
"Good point"
"Missy?"
"Yeah?"
"How's Alice doing?" she smiles sympathetically at me.
"She's doing great, Maya. She told me to tell you sorry for not coming this summer but she was very busy. She'll be back for thanksgiving though and she's definitely gonna drop by Topanga's and say hi and teach you some more moves she's learned" I faint a smile
"Sounds awesome"
"Talking about moves and cheer stuff: are you gonna have a co-captain this year?"
"I've already asked coach if I could have one this year. You know what her answer was, Farkle?"
"I wasn't there so I don't know"
"She said 'Oh my gosh Hunter. You're the youngest captain this school has ever had. No one ever became captain in sophomore year. You're a prodigy. If you managed to do it for a whole semester last year then I feel like you can totally do it for this year"
"Nine months?! You'll have to manage that responsibility for all this time?!" I nod
"Yeah. I already feel like this is gonna be the hardest year so far" the bell rings and all the students start leaving
"Well, I guess it's time for us to go. Bye"
"Bye guys!" Zay and I wave at them before walking inside Mr. Matthews' class. However, we find Harper -our English teacher- instead.
"Harper?" she looks up from her book
"That's me. Take a seat, guys. If you something to do then do it but stay silent. No talking during detention"
"Yes ma'am!" Zay shouts while taking his seat.
"Where is Mr. Matthews?" she looks at me
"He was busy"
"Doing what? It's the first day of school"
"Busy doing stuff" why is she so evasive?
"What kind of stuff though?"
"Why do you keep asking questions?"
"Why do you keep avoiding them?"
"Why don't you ask him when you'll be out of detention? I mean, if you ever get out. Cause if you keep talking I'm gonna add another hour for you" I just groan in frustration and start reading my History book.
I don't know why but I don't have a good feeling about all this. Why is Mr. Matthews not here? And why is Harper covering up for him? What is he up to?

*In the meanwhile, at Topanga's. Elliot's POV*

"Mom, dad, why are you here?" I ask them when they come in.
"Yeah, dad. Shouldn't you be watching over Maya and Zay?"
"Not today"
"Cor, I'm happy you're here" Shawn pats my dad's back when he and Katy come in with the twins
"You're welcome. How are they doing?"
"They're doing pretty great. Lots of energy. Maybe too much. Can you please hold them?" Katy hands her Bridget to mom while dad does the same with Chet
"I-okay. Fine"
"When should he arrive?"
"Who?" all the teens ask in unison, including me and Josh
"Hi" I can't believe what my eyes are seeing. What is Kermit doing here?
"Dad-"
"Calm down, Elliot. He's here because I invited him" my sister's eye widen
"Why?! Why would you do that?!"
"Yeah, dad!"
"Guys, it was our idea"
"What?! Shawn, Katy! How could you do this?!"
"And why?"
"You know? I just remembered that Smakle and I have a cheer practice"
"Y-Yeah, and I have this big science fair" I frown
"Why did you switch roles?"
"We're nervous!" Riley pushes them down to the couch
"Well, you're staying here. We're Maya's friends and have to support her when she'll come back"
"You guys still haven't answered our question" I glare at all the adults but my glaze is particularly stuck on Kermit.
"Well, Cory told me about what happened while Katy was giving birth to the twins"
"It's not her fault I left. That's why I'm here. I want her to understand that"
"Well, you're eleven years late, buddy"
"Elliot" I roll my eyes at mom's warning
"Fine. But you all know I'm right"
"No, it's not fine. Do you know how much damage you caused to Maya?" Josh asks in an angry tone while pointing at him
"Listen, kid. Like I said, I wanna make things better. But you have to let me"
"Believe me, I-"
"Dad?" Everyone turns around to look at Maya who just walked in with Zay. Riley told me they were in detention for playing with their food.
"Maya, hi"
"What are you doing here?"
"I just dropped by to say hi and talk to you. I see you're a big sister now, like you always wanted"
"Oh, so you remember something about me?"
"I could never forget how much you kept asking for a baby sibling"
"Yeah, at the end I didn't get one and lost a parent" she snaps back. Kermit looks around to look at Katy and Shawn
"Congratulations, Katy"
"Thanks, Kermit"
"May I hold
"No" his daughter answers quickly.
"You are not touching them"
"You don't think I could hurt them, right?"
"Don't you think I remember all the times you yelled at my mom? You sounded like monster. I was scared of my own father"
"Those were only words Maya. I'm not capable of such things"
"Yeah, I didn't think you were capable of leaving and yet, you did it. I'll never trust you around them. I don't even trust myself to hold them so you better get that thought out of your mind" Wow, I never noticed how becoming the older sister changed her. She's super protective of them. However, I can see how nervous and scared she is right now by looking at her eyes. She has the same look she had when she was eight grade and had to face him for the first time after nine years. I wish I could just kick Kermit out of here but I know I can't. Dad has something in mind and I wanna see what it is.
"You said you wanted to talk to me"
"Yeah"
"Okay then, let's go outside"
"Sure" they walk out.
"So, what's your plan, brother?" Dad smiles
"You'll see"
