Maya walked up to Lucas, a small smile on her face, however her eyes looked incredibly sad "Hey Huckleberry, mind If I sit?" She asked, gesturing to the empty bus seat beside him.

He nodded, pulling his bag off the seat and throwing it on the floor "Zay will be back in a minute." He warned her, a little anxious about being left alone with one of the girls he liked.

"Doubt it." She smiled mischievously "I persuaded him to sit next to Sarah." She laughed, peering over her seat as she watched Zay TRY to flirt with her classmate.

"How?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at her mischievous smirk.

"I may have told him she liked him." She said softly, trying to hold in her laughter, but that was quickly bought to a halt.

"Maya!" Lucas playfully slapped her arm, chuckling as he watched his friend "Actually that reminds me." He frowned.

"What?" Maya whined, putting in her headphones as she tried to drown Lucas out, knowing full well what he was about to say.

"Why aren't you sitting with Riley?" He asked, looking at her, a little concerned. Maya and Riley were best friends, there wasn't anyone else that Maya would rather sit next to on a 4-hour bus trip, so why was she sitting with Lucas?

"She won't shut up about the triangle." Maya admitted, avoiding his green eyed gaze.

"Oh." He exclaimed, understanding why she wanted to move.

"That's all your gonna say, oh?" She sighed, a little irritated by his reaction.

"Well what do you want me to say?" He retorted.

"I want you to decide." She raised her voice, blushing as she realised that everyone probably just heard her.

"Maya, you know I can't do that." He whispered, looking into her deep crystal blue eyes.

"Why not?" She pushed, getting fed up with her and Riley having to make all the decisions, it was tearing their friendship apart, Riley promised her it wouldn't, but she could feel it, she could feel them drifting apart, competing with each other over some boy "You know what, I don't care anymore." She sighed, standing up to walk back over to Riley, she might have been aggravating her about the triangle but she wasn't as bad as Lucas.

As she grabbed her bag from the overhead lockers, she felt a hand on her arm, she looked down and noticed Lucas looking up at her, holding on to her arm as he gestured for her to sit back down, but she just sighed "NO." She shouted "I can't do this Lucas." She asserted.

Maya was about to walk away when she heard Lucas' voice "I don't wanna hurt either of you." He admitted, at least that was something, he had reassured her that he cared about both of them.

She walked over and sat back next to him, her head down as she spoke "But you're hurting me." She said, a little tearfully. He noticed her crying and lifted her head up with his fingers "Maya, listen." He spoke softly, staring into her beautiful blue eyes; Lucas could get lost in her eyes for days, he loved how her eyes were blue and grey, but never at the same time "I love you." He stated, not a hint of irony in his voice, Maya wasn't sure what to say, apart from Riley, none of them had ever mentioned love, they had just told each-other that they were in-like. But then he continued "But I like Riley too, I care about both of you." He admitted.

"Do you really think I want to hurt Riley?" She whispered angrily, glancing over at her sunshiny friend peering out the window with nothing but a frown on her face.

"Of course I don't." He put his hand on her shoulder for reassurance, but she just shrugged him off.

They were silent for a while until Lucas spoke up "Maya, can I ask you a question." He looked at her seriously.

"If you must." She sighed, fiddling with her earbuds.

"When did you start to like me?" He asked, staring at her as he waited for an answer.

"What?" She asked, knowing full well what she had just been asked.

"You know what I said Maya." He said firmly.

"Sorry, why do I feel like I'm on trial here?" She said defensively, a little offended by Lucas' sudden question.

"You're not." He replied.

"You answer it then." She smiled triumphantly, proud of herself for putting the question back onto him, although she hadn't expected an answer, it was just her way of avoiding her feelings for him.

"Fine, you really wanna know?" He asked, a little surprised by her comeback, he thought he had finally done it, he thought he had cornered Maya Hart into admitting her feelings.

"Yeah, I do." She smiled, waiting for his response.

"On the subway." He admitted.

Maya burst out laughing, she had never believed in love at first sight, and now Lucas was telling her he fell for her on the subway; they had literally dated and split up in 10 seconds, and now he was telling her that's when he knew he liked her "The subway?" She asked, biting her tongue to hold in her laughter.

"Why is that funny?" He asked, a playful voice, but in reality, he was a little offended.

"I'm sorry." She stopped laughing, realising she had annoyed him.

"It's okay." He smiled "Anyway, you asked me, I answered, so now it's your turn." He reminded her.

"You know, Riley looks kinda lonely, I'm gonna go and sit with her again." She said, standing up to walk back over to her friend.

"Maya." Lucas reprimanded, giving her a look "You have to answer the question." He said, grabbing her hand for the second time today.

"No I don't." She said defensively, shaking his hand off her as she held onto the back of someone's seat for support as the bus turned from one way to the other, bending around the winding mountain roads.

"Ok, maybe not." He conceded "But were not allowed to walk up and down the bus at the minute." Lucas looked at her with concern, she was small, smaller than most of the class, if you forget about Yogi, and she could easily topple over.

"Huckleberry, when have the rules stopped me?" She mocked, continuing her journey to the front of the bus as Lucas called her back to sit down, or at least hold onto something; like usual, she ignored him.

"Maya, listen to Lucas, sit back down." Cory instructed her firmly. He stood up to send Maya back to her seat but Topanga just pulled him back down "Topanga, what are you doing." He asked, a little frustrated with his wife.

"Cory, if you get up, everyone else will think it's okay." She explained "Do you really want to deal with THAT?" She asked, gesturing to the number of children that were on the bus, all sat behind him, watching as they waited for him to break the rules.

"No, I guess not." He responded, strapping his seat belt back over his chest.

Maya was almost there, she had almost reached Riley's seat when there was a big crash, everyone went forward, being held back by their seatbelts, apart from one girl, Maya Hart, the shortest in the school, she got thrown backwards, her body slamming against the back of the bus as it made full impact with the truck in front.

Author Note: Hey guys, thanks for reading. Yes, I know it's yet another fanfic from me where Maya gets hurt and I'm sorry but I just love the drama. Is that weird? I don't think it's weird, better than writing M rated fics, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I understand most of you don't read this far, but if you are still reading then give yourself a cookie as a award, you are loyal fans :)
