*Maya's POV*
We just finished the Romeo and Juliet play and are back in the school's hallway. Also, guess who played who, exactly, Riley as Juliet and Lucas and Romeo. Thankfully Farkle's jealousy stepped in so they didn't have to kiss. Another thing, he sucked.
"Farkle, come here" I say to him, I hate destroying his hopes and dreams but I have to keep him grounded, he thinks he did a good job!
"Maya, don't. He thinks he was good" Riley tries to stop me
"Yeah, I'm gonna fix that"
"But you can't tell him the truth. You'll crush him"
"Oh, I can tell him the truth. It's you who can't tell him the truth because you're afraid.
"I'm not afraid. I'm nice" I frown, am I a bad person?
"You're saying I'm not nice?"
"No, I'm afraid to say that"
"Tell him the truth. You know Farkle. You know what will happen if you don't" he comes up to us
"Farkle. You were so-- What are the best words?"
"He killed the play. Those are the words. Those are the only words. You killed the play. Tell him"
"What? What does she mean?"
"She means you killed it, Farkle. Killed It! Showbiz talk" She has to tell him the truth, one way or another.
"I actually I thought I ruined the play. If you would've told me I ruined the play, I would have believed you. I would have been crushed, but I would've believed you" she sighs
"How could I crush one of the best actors working in middle school today?"
"I'm a good actor? What if I'm better than good? What if I'm great? What if I'm the greatest actor who ever lived, and I never knew it? That would be sad. Wah. It's okay, it's okay. I was acting. Thanks, Riley, my public awaits. Hello, everybody!" This is what I was talking about
"You can't lie to him, Riley. You're gonna break our little Farkle"
"Oh, I will not. I didn't do anything. This will all go away" sure, knowing Farkle, he'll probably think that he's Leonardo DiCaprio's long lost child. I decide to ignore the situation and go in class, it's history time!
"Nice locket" my best friend says to me, distracting me
"You likey?"
"If history's about discovering the truth of what happened in the past, we should spend some time finding out what truth is"
"Where'd you get the nice locket?" I shush her
"Shh, I come here to learn" we both start laughing
"All through history, people have suffered consequences for telling the truth"
"Is that real gold?" I shrug
"Don't know. Doesn't matter"
"They all suffered dearly for having the courage to tell the truth"
"So sometimes it's better not to?"
"But aren't there consequences for that too, sir?"
"Yes, there are, Mr. Friar. But in my experience with the universe, no matter what you do, the truth always finds a way of coming out" the bell rings
"So... Where'd you get the locket?"
"France" I say quickly
"You were in France?"
"Si, señor"
"You didn't go to France because if you went to France, you would have brought me back a croissant" I pull out one
"Bing"
"Ooh. Piping hot. Wait a minute. Where did you really get this?" I smirk
"I found it on the street" I reply before going to my locker to collect some of my suff
"Come on, where'd you get the locket?" why is she so curious about it?"
"My father sent it to me"
"He did?"
"You don't believe me?"
"Did you just tell me?"
"I just told you"
"Then I believe you"
"So this is over?" I really don't wanna talk about this
"Like it never happened. I do, however, have one question for the locket. Where'd you get the Maya?!" Never mind
"You don't believe my father sent this to me?"
"Why don't you just tell me?"
"Why don't you just call me a liar?"
"Why don't you just tell me the truth?" because it's none of your business
"Oh, you think that's important?"
"I do"
"Did you think Farkle was good in the play?" I ask her before leaving
Riley's POV
"I want to skip ahead in your truth lesson. Is it okay to tell a little white lie to spare somebody's feelings?" I ask dad, we're having dinner right now
"No. My feelings?"
No"
"Then always truth" He looks at the funny-looking dinner mom made
"Well, what do we have here?"
"Chicken" she replies
"I'll tell you right now, Topanga, this was never a chicken"
"Why don't you just eat it, Honey. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it after"
"Oh, great teller of the truth, please demonstrate how you're going to get out of this one" this is gonna be fun. Mom cracks her knuckles while waiting for dad's answer, she can be really intimidating sometimes
"Psst, what'd you get?" he asks Auggie
"S'ghetti and meatballs"
"Ooh, yum. Yum that! Why this me?! Why yum him?!" She moves the chicken closer to him
"All right, fine, I'll eat it. Here we go. Have we prayed? Have we prayed as a family? We haven't done that in a while" Is he serious?
"Go ahead, pray"
"Oh, I'll pray. The world is a beautiful place... Full of many beautiful things...Look what she did to your chicken!"
"Eat your dinner, Honey"
"Okay" he looks up
"I'll see you soon" Dad takes a bite of the chicken
"Well, what do you think?"
"Um, you know, from eating this chicken, I'll tell you right now how this chicken died. It ate this chicken"
"You know, Daddy, sometimes when I don't want to eat something, Mommy feeds it to me like it was an airplane" Auggie is so cute!
"That's very sweet, Auggie, but Daddy's a little too old for Mommy to feed him" ops, wrong choice of words, mom puts a fork in the chicken and moves it like an airplane to dad while making the same motor noise Auggie made earlier.
"Wait, where is Elliot?" I ask and mom shrugs while putting the chicken down, making dad sigh in relief
"He said that he's doing a school project"
"Yeah but he's always out" mom frowns
"You're right, I'm gonna call him, it's also very late so I better pick him up"
