September-
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Riles turn off your alarm!" I yell to Riley putting a pillow over my head. "Riles the alarm" I look up and she isn't there and it's not a clock it's my phone.
SmileyRiley-peaches wake up it's the first day of junior year! Yayyy!"
i laugh at her text. "How can one girl be that happy about school?" I thought. I text her back.
Peaches-no thank you I've reached my school quota last year.
SmileyRiley-don't make me jump on you!
peaches-how can you do that you aren't here?
"oh yeah." I hear her shout before she jumps on me. "Aah!" I yell "Riley why are you so happy? Did ranger rick visit you?" She smiles and says "no I wish. He's been in Texas and I miss him." "Bleh!" I say sticking my tongue out. She giggles and says watch when it happens to you Maya. Love will have you singing a different tune." I shake my head and say "I doubt it but don't you worry your pretty little head about me. I enjoy the singles bar you have set up for me in rileytown."
She gasps and says "sorry peaches we closed that place this summer." I look at her and we both start laughing. "Baby girl are you up?" I groan "yeah mom Riley was distracting me from getting dressed. She was talking about ditching." Riley gasps and hits me. "Ow!" I say rubbing my arm. She sticks her tongue out at me and I hear my mom say "that's funny Maya get dressed."
We get on the subway and Riley breaks into what she deems our "happy song". "Honey if we have to go to school then we definitely don't have one." I tell her pulling her of the train. She stops me and says "not with that attitude." We both start laughing.
"Well Ms. Riley I do believe we know those two cowboys up yonder." I say pointing in the direction of Lucas and Zay. Riley breaks into her Lucas smile and says "shall we?" I start smiling and say "we shall. Ready?" She nods and we take off shouting "hi ho silver and away!"
They turn around and both shake their heads saying "come on" We start running faster and jump on them. "Is this really how we want to start every school year?" Zay says bouncing me. "Oh hunkalious you enjoy it." I say pinching his cheeks. "I would enjoy it more if we could do that." He says gesturing to the couple next to us making out.
"bleh!" I shout at them. "Blehhhh!" They stop and Lucas tips his imaginary hat saying "well mornin Ms. penny." I knew letting him use that nickname would come back to haunt me. "Oh ranger rick don't make me hurt you."
We walk into school and I see a flyer for an art and music festival taking place in April. "Oh peaches you should sign up!" Riley says jumping up and down. I shake my head laughing and say "no thanks." As we walk away I keep looking at it.
"Yes! Finally lunchtime! You know what that means?" I ask Riley sitting down. "What does it mean Maya?" She says smiling. "It means.." I stand on the table. "One day of school done to many days left to count." "Maya get off the table! I don't want to give you detention on the first day!" Mr. Matthews shouts walking towards us.
"oh Matthews lighten up. You only have two more years of me left. Shouldn't we enjoy this time together or do you plan to follow us to college?" His eyes widen and says "no no no no no!" Waving his hands back and forth. I laugh at him.
"Maya admit it when we graduate you're going to miss him popping up as our not so surprising history teacher?" Riley says shaking her head at me. "I don't know riles ask me the first day of college." I look around and spot Charlie Gardner walking our way. "Hey Riley, My." We smile and I put my arms out and shout "why hello there cheese soufflé!"
He chuckles and sits down across from me. "What's up ladies and Gardner." Lucas ask sitting by Riley and Zay by Charlie. We all became friends after what I like to call "the almost end to Rucas before it started." But just like me Charlie was trying to push them together. We became close after that.
"Have you guys seen my handsome genius boyfriend?" Missy asks sitting next to me. "Sorry I don't think he's here today. Wait shouldn't you know that?" I say laughing. "Well I know he got back from his trip last night but he didn't call." She says pulling her phone out.
We continue lunch when I get a text.
CheeseSoufflé- it's still weird that they're dating :}
I look up and shake my head my head at him and text back.
MyBlueEyes-lol I think so too :p
We look at each other and laugh. Making our friends look at us weirdly. Ever since smackle transferred back to Einstein academy after a semester freshman year we didn't think Farkle would find love again but he did. Apparently Missy made good on her promise when she told him 7 grade that he was next.
"Art! My favorite class!" I say walking in with Riley and Charlie. "Don't let my dad hear you say that Maya he would be so devastated." Riley says faking shock. I smirk sitting down at our table. "Okay class let's get creative!" Charlie shouts to everyone.
I start cracking up and Riley shakes her head saying "oh boy peaches you officially rubbed off on him." I look at him and smile and he just winks. "Riley Matthews that better not be a purple cat!" Ms. Johnson shouts coming to our table.
Riley freezes and I tell her "go on show her." She holds up her drawing and the teacher gasps. "Riley dear I'm sorry that's lovely." It was a drawing of her bay window and us. "I didn't know you could draw Riley?" I smirk and say "oh riles here doesn't like to show off her talents except for purple cats. If you look close there is one hidden in the picture." Ms. Johnson looks and right at the corner was a purple cat.
