Maya's pov:
I built walls between me and him. Yet He didn't care to break them. Instead he just helped me while building them. He promised that our friendship will never change but guess what? It did. It changed and now it is on the verge of disappearing.
Today, was Helen's party and here I stood in riley's bedroom listening to her ramble about Lucas and how perfect he is. Her words were like knifes stabbing my heart but she didn't notice. She was just living happily and falling in love endlessly.
"I was hoping to get invited too" she sadly cried as she took a seat in the bay window
"Why didn't they invite you and Lucas? You are popular?" I honestly still didn't get why they would invite me but not them.
"I don't know. I really don't. But you are lucky Maya after this you will be invited to all parties and you will be acknowledged by all" she informed smiling at me and I just nodded letting silence take over us.
"Maya, you know that you can tell me anything right? We are sisters you know" she said trying to decipher why I wasn't as energetic as usual and her use of the same words reminded me of the campfire. How much grief is in me? For how long will I still hang on the idea of "Lucaya", stupid Zay and his stupid ship names?
"yes I know" I replied giving her a faint smile but deep down my heart was yelling on top of its lungs you changed riley you changed
"You will turn all heads the moment you enter Maya. You look amazing" riley tried to change the subject as she read my discomfort
"Thanks" I said looking at the summer dress that I was wearing. It was creamy white with tiny little red flowers. It was simple yet elegant. It didn't hug my body tightly but loosely fell and covered my body till my knees. It left my back exposed only few strings drawing crosses on it. I paired it with red ballerinas and a red purse. I used no makeup as usual and did my hair in a messy bun with few stubborn hairs circling my face.
"You better get going Maya. The party started ten minutes ago. And Lucas will be here any second now. We are going to watch a movie tonight and we might have our second kiss. I am really eager but waiting for him to make a move" riley chanted happily while her eyes looked at the sky dreamily.
"b..best of luck with that riley" I smiled at her while my heart stopped beating…It was finally broken. They are going to kiss.
As I walked to the door I kept my head down trying to avoid the coming tears. Are they going to kiss again? "Of course they will. They are in a relationship Maya! A freaking relationship!" a voice in my head answered.
I was too busy controlling my bursting emotions that I didn't notice that I bumped into a wall. I was going to fall from the contact but warm hands crept around my back and saved me from falling. I knew who it was without looking up. The same scent from the campfire saluted my nose and overwhelmed my senses. A fragrance of mint and the woods embraced me and I nearly hugged the person back but I knew better.
"Maya" he said looking down at me and I met his eyes. A strange look covered his face and he was kind of struck.
"Thanks Lucas" I said while pushing myself away from him and he slowly allowed me to take a step back.
"going to the party?" he questioned while his eyes still studied my outfit and I felt uncomfortable under his gaze; my cheeks were becoming redder and I didn't want him to notice.
"Yes" I replied briefly
"You need a jacket with that dress Maya. The weather isn't that cool" he informed while a troubled look took over his features
"I am sure that I will be okay, Lucas. But thanks for your concerns. I need to go so see you around." I said moving away from him.
God, how his simple words can draw a smile on my face! How having him near me makes butterflies erupt in my stomach endlessly! But sadly he didn't care…he didn't know that while his hand came in contact with my bare back it sent chills all over me…he didn't know that I love him but I guess that I need to mend my half heart and move on.
Reaching the house of Helen, I was welcomed by loud music and few people on the deck. Helen saw me and came running to me. She introduced me to all. It was a small party of nearly twenty people.
"These now are the elites and the future elites" Helen introduced
"But why me not Lucas or riley?" I questioned because I didn't feel like an elite. I was just a broken girl, with half a mum,a missing father and halves of best friends.
"We saw the art in you. We saw the talent, fire and true friend in you and we like that. We especially invited you because someone insisted" she smiled while looking at me
"Who?" this sounded all like nonsense because I didn't know the majority of the people she introduced me too
"Noah king" she said while looking at a blond guy.
He was walking toward us with a smile playing on his lips and all I could say and utter was the word "hot". His hair was bond and curly. Some hairs fell on his forehead brightening his stormy gray eyes making them pop. He looked as if he walked out of magazine. I didn't know that was staring until I heard Helen playfully clear her throat and nudge me.
"Maya, this is Noah king" she said nearly laughing as I blushed
"Nice to meet you Noah" I said in a low tone as he stretched his hand to shake mine
"The pleasure is all mine Maya" he smiled at me and I blushed more…I usually react this way only with Lucas…why am I bring him up now? I need to forget…
"Thanks for inviting me to the party but do you mind me asking how do you know me?" I said in the nicest tone that I can master not wanting to sound rude
"Does the last name King remind you of anyone? And we also share the same school but I am one year older than you" he informed with an amused smile
"Mr. King of course; my art teacher. That guy is awesome." I smiled at the memories of my first paintings being sold at some exhibitions of his.
"Well that awesome guy is my dad. I saw you in some of his art expositions and in school and I like to know you better" Noah explained
"Oh" was all I can say and I can assure you now that my face is redder than a tomato
"I am an artist too by the way and your works captured me. Art kind of runs in our genes and I would love to show you some of my paintings if it is okay with you" Noah continued while I felt his gaze still on me and that Helen disappeared
"Sure" I say politely at least this might be a chance to gain new friends or a crush and move on from Lucas.
