"but what about what i think of us Riley ? Does it matter?"

" I am sorry Maya please don't tell my sister "

Maya's pov

Lucas was in love with Riley he didn't care about me! He wasn't surprised nor happy when he heard that you liked him for god's sake he didn't even care! All he cared about was riley… he may tried to shish you but leaning in holding your face n his hand and nearly kissing you…but he didn't…he never wanted you…no one does

Monday came and the kids were back in their homes getting ready to go back to their school but Maya didn't know how she was going to face riley and how to forget Lucas …she was lost. Her day started normally as usual she woke up and went the Matthews to pick up riley. She kept silent and never mentioned what happened…He begged her and she…she loved him. Yes he didn't care but at least he won't hate her for ruining his love story with riley…she will just step back one more time and forever

"Maya…are you okay?" riley questioned "what happened with you and Lucas? Did he realize that he likes you too?"

"Riley…that story ended before beginning. Lucas has in his heart one and only one place that he gave to you…Riley don't break his heart be with him give him a chance all the chances in the world even he deserves the best and I am clearly not the best…you are" tears started falling from her blue ocean eyes and Maya sounded as if she is going to choke saying those words "be with him riley be his heart"

Riley at that very moment started to cry and hugged her sister the girl that she admired most for creativity honesty and strength…but the girl she hugged was weak and broken hearted…The girl she wanted to be like was now weak and tearful and this made riley bitter at this moment she wanted nothing more than kicking Lucas and killing him for hurting her best friend and sister. They reached their school and now each girl went her own way, Riley to math class and Maya science class. On her way Maya saw Lucas waved at him and walked away faster than ever forgetting that they shared the same class.

"Maya…" He didn't know how he should talk to her

"Lucas…" She didn't want to talk to him so she kept gazing away

" You are using my first name…You are…"

"I am nothing…I told Riley to love you back and I am okay with it…best of luck with her and never ever hurt her"

"Thank you" but was he supposed to feel happy

"You are welcome"

"May I sit next to you ma'am?" he was trying to lighten up the mood

"Sorry Lucas but I prefer not" she talked slowly yet steadily and never looked at him

"But Maya…" he felt a pain in his chest and was not sure why

" Lucas…I am okay…We, I mean u and I are okay. We will always be friends but for the moment I need some space and time"

"You are important to me Maya…" his heart skipped a beat "I don't want to lose you…sorry because I don't share your feelings but…"

"Lucas I know …" he heard her sniff she was crying

"Maya…"

" Just leave please …"
