"Riley!" I heard my dad call as I heard footsteps running up the stairs. I was still paralyzed, but before I could blink Maya was gone and my Dad was knocking on the door.
"Hey Riley! I'm back from my out of state conference! Did ya miss me?" dad asked.
"Dad I'm in the middle of some serious girl drama. I'm not sure I feel up to talking to anyone right now..." Dad understood and definitely didn't want to be involved in my girl drama so he left. I lie back down on my bed but quickly sit back after imagining Maya on top of me as she was before. I notice something on my floor. Maya left her notebook. So I picked it up and opened it. This was definitely not our homework assignment... The notebook was full of pictures of me. In all kinds of beautiful dresses and occasionally surrounded by hearts. In the middle of the notebook there was a poem.
When my eyes are open, I see this wretched world.
But when they're closed, I see my favorite girl.
I see your lips, I want a kiss.
I've come close, but always miss.
Okayyy... so it seems pretty clear that my best friend is in love with me... I have to admit I'm pretty scared.
Maya dives through the window and playfully tackles me to the ground. She pins me down on the floor, leans closer and kisses my neck. Too afraid to speak, all I can get out is a tiny squeak as I stare up at Maya with wide eyes. Maya giggles at my terror.
"I'll be taking that." Maya says as she picks up her notebook, still sitting on me. She puts her hand on my shoulder then slowly slides it down my arm before she gets up and goes out the window. .Goodness. She is terrifying me...and turning me on...
I get up and go sit in my closet. I feel safe in there. You have to admit, Maya is probably the sexiest girl on the planet. I mean, her luscious blonde curls, those adorable little freckles that she tries to hide beneath her make-up, and of course those gorgeous deep blue eyes...
But I mean when did she start feeling this way? She never acted like this before... what if she felt this way the whole time? I mean,we've shared beds, change in front of each other every day for P.E., she's seen me in a bikini... then there was that we hold hands, hug, spend all our time together, cuddle, she's kissed me cheek before... Oh man, she's been in love with me all this time and I never knew!
I was starting to feel very weird about the whole thing. Then I started to feel really bad. All this time Maya has been in love with me and I obsess over the guys I like right in front of her face...it wasn't my fault, I didn't know! I felt horrible. I fell asleep right there in the closet.
