Chapter 2

RILEY POV

I sit with my best friend in English class and I can't help seeing how sad she is. I really want to tell her how amazing my last night was, but I can't do it when I know that something is wrong with her.

"Peaches, why you are so sad?" I whisper to her and try to make puppy eyes so she would tell me. I don't know why but she wasn't so open with me anymore. She didn't tell me stuffs like she used to.

"Nothing big happened, I just had a little argument with Lucas yesterday, that's all" She replies trying to sound like it wasn't a big a of deal but I know her and apparently it was. I think she's falling for Lucas again. She liked him when we were like on 9th grade but I think she liked him even before that. She used to date my uncle Josh when we were sophomores. They dated almost a year but then happened what happened. I'm still mad at Josh but he's also part of my family so I can't just turn my back on him.

"Maya, I have to ask, do you like Lucas again?" I ask gently because I don't want her to get angry with me. She sighs and doesn't say anything.

"I don't know Riles, I really don't know" She says after a while and gives me a little fake smile.

MAYA POV

I walked away from English class and said goodbye to Riley who was going to meet Farkle in the schools library. I can't help but feel a little guilty that I hadn't asked Riley about 'the date'. I'm just emotionally too tired to talk about others successful relationships when my own was a mess. I'm horrible, right?

I'm walking towards history class when I see something that I would rather not see. Lucas is standing by the lockers with two girls under his arms, smiling and flirting. He then sees me and stops smiling. I see how he's leaving the two girls and is heading over and I try to speed up. I am too slow and he takes my hand to stop me. I sigh heavily and turn around to see his face.

"Maya, I'm so sorry about yesterday. I crossed the line. I shouldn't have said anything. You're right, you do your own decisions and it's none of my business. Please, can you forgive me?" He almost begs and I can see that he really meant it.

"Thank you. I'm sorry too, for getting so upset. You were just trying to help me. I forgive you" I then say quietly and he releases a big smile. That's the smile I love. And that is the Lucas that I like, caring, lovable.

"Hey Lucas come back here! We miss you!" One of the girls shouts and kisses the air. And there is the other Lucas. He winks at the shouting girl and then turns his face towards mine again.

"I'm sorry but I have to go" He says and gives me the 'I'm sorry face'. I just nod and start walking again. I can't help but feeling sad when he didn't even think twice between me and the two girls. What's wrong with me? I'm not usually this pussy who lets boys to affect her this much. For now on, I'm going to be a better Maya, tougher like I used to be.

I go to the history class and sit down on my usual spot, next to Zay. I sat next to him because, well, he was kind of funny and Riley didn't have history at the same time. And I don't sit with Lucas because he has almost every time some new girl sitting next to him.

"Well hello Maya, you were starting without me?" Zay says with his usual sarcastic voice and sits down beside me. I just give him a laugh and he smiles at me.

"Well there's the smile! Haven't seen it for a while, especially not yesterday" He says, lowering his voice to the end.

"Yeah, well I just had a little fight with Lucas. But it's all sorted by now" I say and create a smile on my lips again. The smile just doesn't last that long. Lucas comes in with the same girl who shouted to him. They sit down just a few steps away from us and the girl giggles to almost everything that Lucas says. Zay seems to see how I look at them.

"Do you like Lucas? I promise I wont tell him if you do. He's a douche by the moment so he doesn't deserve a great girl like you" Zay whispers and I'm a little shocked. I didn't know it was that obvious.

"If you tell him I promise you that I will rip out your tongue" I whisper back.

"So you do?" He asks.

"Yeah, no, maybe. I don't really know" I confess and he seems to be pleased by the answer.

"I don't want to be a bad friend, but I got to tell you. Not long time ago he was crushing over you" Zay whispers again to me and I can't help but smile a little.

The rest of the day goes fast and I'm feeling much better now. Me, Riley, Farkle and Zay are going to Topanga's and hope that Lucas would join us too.

"I have to go to the bathroom before we go" I say and head my steps to the ladies room.

"Okay we wait here" Riley says and Farkle sends Lucas a message to meet us at Topanga's. I open the girls bathroom door and stop my steps right after I step in. I see Lucas with that girl, they're making out, like really making out. The girl seems to notice me.

"What? Are you going to watch there all day?" She says and glares at me. I'm so shocked I can barely move but then again, why am I surprised? Lucas heard what the girl said so he turns and have a horrified expression on his face.

"Maya, I.." He starts but before he continued I'm already away from the bathroom.

"That was quick" Farkle says but Riley pushed him a little because she saw how shocked I looked. They haven't have time to ask questions before Lucas rushes off from the bathroom and tries to swipe off the lipstick on his face.

"Maya, hear me out!" Lucas shouts but I turn and tell him to shut up. Everyone stands there in silent and I don't know what I should do. I let a long sigh come out of my mouth.

"Lucas, it's fine. You were just living your life. We're friends so you don't have to explain anything to me. Just do what ever you want. It's not like I'd care. I was just shocked that you did that in the girls bathroom that's all" I explain to him but I'm not sure that was I trying to make myself believe the words I said. We were friends, that's all.

LUCAS POV

I didn't like that Maya found out. Sure she knows I have a lots of girls these days but I just don't want that she has to witness anything else than talking. Every single word that Maya says hurts. I don't have to explain myself for her, she doesn't care, we were just friends. I should have known that she felt that way. And actually I did knew, I just begin to hope that there would be something more. But I guess I was wrong.

"Okay then" I just say without any kind of expression on my face. I then watch my other friends that all are there and Zay gives me a look I don't quite know what it means.

"So Lucas, are you coming with us to Topanga's? I sent you a message but I guess you were busy" Farkle asks with little laughter trying to light up the room, failing. I turned my face to Maya who didn't watch me in the eyes anymore. I thought it for a minute but I decided to pass.

"You guys just go without me" I say and don't move my eyes from the blonde girl who still refuses to meet with my eyes.

"Okay then, let's go" Riley then says and Maya leaves with them, this time giving me a quick look. I stayed there. Watching while they walked a way, watching the beautiful blonde girl who just friendzoned me forever. A small tear falls on to my cheek but I swipe it off. I then turn around and head back to the girls bathroom. Jennifer (the girl) was still waiting there and she put her lipstick away when she saw me.

"Finally you're back" She says and walk right in front of me. I don't say anything. There was nothing to talk about. I just let my lips touch hers and pull her closer to me.

"You want to get out of here? We can go to my place" Jennifer asks while pulling away and I nod. Anything works with me right now. We then leave the room for good.
