~Farkle~

"It's Saturday! Alright, be cool Farkle, just play it cool. It's just a party, a cool people's party, that you've been invited to, that you've invited a girl to, that's happening tonight and...OH MY GOSH!" I yell, panicking.

My Dad barges into my room. "SON?! Are you okay? What happened? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Yeah... I think panicking is a family trait.

"I have nothing cool to wear to this party tonight." I look at my Dad with my infamous puppy dog eyes. He sighs, rolling his eyes he gives me his credit card. I feel an uncontrollable grin growing on my face "Thanks Dad!" I say and run out of the house to buy clothes for the party.

As I'm walking past all these shops I see a cute little jewelery store that reminds me of Riley. I walk in without even thinking and look for a necklace for her.

Wait, why am I looking for Riley? We're just-

"Is it for someone special?" My thoughts are interrupted by the jeweler.

"No, she's just a friend," I smile then frown, "I think." She smiles and guides me towards the jewelery she would recommend.

It barely took me a minute before I found the perfect pendant.

Maybe I do, kinda, sorta, like her, I guess?

~Maya~

I'm laying on my bed thinking. No one else is home, I'm all by myself. I look at my phone to check the time and see that it's 8pm. My mind wonders off to the party that's happening tonight. That idiot, jerk's party. My neutral mood turns to anger at the mere thought of him.

"I am not predictable!" I repeated for what seemed like the thousandth time. "He doesn't even know me!" I get off my bed in frustration and walk towards my closet. "Well you know what cowboy? I am not predictable and I will go to your lame-ass party just to prove it!"

I pick out some clothes and start to get ready.

~Lucas~

"Alright, I'll be back home Monday night. You boys better behave yourselves." My father says pointing his finger at us.

"Yeah, yeah-"

"And no parties either." He narrows his eyes at me.

I smirk when I turn to look at Billy and Zay behind me. "No parties. Got it. You can trust me Dad."

"I do trust you kiddo. I'll see you Monday." He smiles and leaves.

"Alright! Who's ready to party?" I turn around and clap my hands. "We've got an hour before people start coming. Billy, you're in charge of drinks. Zay, you get the food. I'll sort the music. Then we'll move the furniture to make this house party-friendly. Let's go people! Party starts at 9!" I bark.

~Riley~

For some reason I've decided to go to the party- well, linger outside his house at least. I'm too afraid to go in. I knew this was a bad I idea all along but the thought of seeing Farkle disappointed in me encouraged me to come. His my only friend and I don't want to let him down. Yet here I am being a coward.

Even though the party started half an hour ago there must have been at least 60 people there already and I stood as I watched plenty more flooding in. I sigh as I back up into a wall and slide down, making the final decision to wait outside. I don't want to go home since I told my parents that I was going to a party and going home after 5 minutes would be suspicious. But more than anything else I don't want to go home because I don't want to 'officially' give up.

So I sit. And watch. As the whole world seems to be having more fun than me.

~Lucas~

I've been searching around for Maya since the party started but she's nowhere to be seen. I start doubting myself, maybe I don't know her as well as I thought. I turn around to head back to where everyone else is when I bump into someone.

"Sorry ma'am, I didn't see-" I pause when I realize who I'm talking to. "Whoa, you look...whoa."

"Snap out of it Huckleberry." She has a smug look on her face. "I'm here. I've proved you wrong. What've you got to say for yourself?"

I smirk. "I knew you'd come blondie," her face fell. "You're so-"

"I will break you!" She growls as she takes a step closer to me.

"If that's what makes you happy, then I certainly can't wait for it...ma'am" I emphasise my Texan accent and wink as I tip my imaginary hat.

I couldn't help but chuckle when she rolls her eyes, moaning in frustration as she stomps off.

"Hey, wait up!" I catch up to her. "Did you really come here to prove me wrong?"

"Yeah! But clearly I ended up proving you right." She threw her hands up.

"So you came here for me?"

"Yea- what? No!" I feel my lips tug up to a smirk.

"You did. You came for me. You like me!" I tease her.

"I do not! You think I'm predictable!" She's getting frustrated.

"No I don't."

"So what do you think I am?" She crosses her arms.

"I think you're beautiful." My eyes widen when I realize what I just said. She just stares at me in silence and raises her eyebrows before she walks off.

I stand and watch as the crowd pulled her away from me.

"Dammit Lucas! You just couldn't keep ya mouth shut, could ya?" I kick the ground, angry at myself for losing her when I barely had her.

~Maya~

I can't believe he said that. Why would he say that? My thoughts are interrupted when someone wraps their arm around my waist.

"How you doin'? I slap his arm away.

"Yeah...no dice Bobby-"

"Billy." He corrects me.

"Whatever. I've been rejecting you all week, why can't you understand that I don't like you."

"Because I like you. I like you very very much." He slurs his words.

"Are you drunk?" I frown.

"So what if I am?" He shoves me against the wall and presses my wrists into it. I try to fight back but he's way too strong.

"What the-" I'm silenced when he smashes his lips against mine. He smirks when he pulls away.

"Y'know I think Lucas has a crush on you." He kisses my cheek and leaves trails down to my neck. I want to scream but I can't. I don't want to seem weak but I feel a lump forming in my throat as tears threaten to escape.

"That's a bit unfair though don't you think? All the girls are throwing themselves at him, he could have any girl he wants." He steps even closer to me, closing any space there was between us. "Yet he wants the one who doesn't love him back. The one girl all the other guys have a chance with." He pushes my wrists above my head and grabs them both with one hand. "Friar wants to keep you all to himself."

I'm trying my best not to scream in pain from my wrists being scraped against the wall. I wince when he uses his free hand to place a strand of hair behind my ear and leans in to whisper, "I don't like that. I want you. Lucas doesn't deserve you. I do."

I squeeze my eyes shut and my entire body stiffens. Why did I ever come to this goddamn party?! I just want this to stop. For once in my life I want someone to save me. I wish someone would save me.
