A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in weeks. School's been kicking my butt. But I stayed home today and got the chapter finished. And this is probably my favorite chapter ive written (yes i am aware ive only written two) so no more interupptions. Enjoy!
"What am I gonna tell him Maya" I said peeking at my parents who were eating at the table. "Just say your sleeping at my house" said Maya as she pushed me into the living room. And don't do that grin. What grin? The grin you do when your about to lie. I turned around with the same stupid look on my face I never grew out of. Your doing it! She grabbed my arm and dragged me into the living room towards the door. Riley where ya going! I turned my head to see my dad looking at me. "Umm going to Maya's...to sleepover," I said turning around and walking towards the door. Nothing else? "Nop", I answered now almost running. "Are you sure" his eyebrows were perched and he was trying to analyze the situation. "What's with all the questions ", the unruly blond asked. "Well I...No No No Mr. Mathews I get you think we're up to something.", she said cutting him off. I'm the most qualified I'm practically family. I'll have her home in the morning. In fact I'll have her home in a week. Tell Topanga to have a cake ready. She slammed the door and starting laughing. I could practically see my dads face through the door. "I love it when you do that", I beamed finally able to speak. " I love doing that" Maya said running off before my dad could follow. After all this years when well I rub off on you. "I keep wondering the same thing" I giggled slightly.
"I'm gonna get us something to eat", I said spotting our favorite bakery. Good call there will probably be only alcohol there. She had been trying to scare me all day but I would never admit it was working. I grabbed my food and headed out the door. Just in time to see Lucas show up. I always have liked Lucas, but there were other boys. But every boy who I liked chased Maya. I ended up telling her I only liked Lucas to save myself the embarrassment. "They weren't worth it keep your eyes on the prize", she would say laughing and gesturing at Lucas. But it was hard to take her seriously when they were falling all over her. So no matter what it would be Maya:1 Riley:0. But like most things it would be different with Lucas.
"Oh hey Riley", he said finally noticing me standing there. "Here's your hat cowboy", she said throwing it at him, "What do you have to say for yourself". Whatever makes you happy! Lucas are you going to the party. Maya almost jumped out of her shoes forgetting I was ever coming out of the Bakery. "Jumpy much", I laughed then grabbed Lucas's arm. We were an item...Kinda. He flirted with me, he walked me to class, even carried my books for me. But the question never came he never asked Riley will you be my girlfriend. I complained about this to Maya all the time. "And if there's another girl I'd tell her". Of course she'd smile and always say the same thing "Then he'll choose you",.
I leaned my head on his shoulder "You didn't answer my question",. Oh yea I'll meet you guys there. "Ok lovebirds hands-off", Maya said grabbing my free arm and pulling me toward her, "We have to get ready". Lucas jumped in his car and drove away leaving a frustrated blonde and an antsy brunette.
"Is it wierd that I really wanted him to ask if I could go to the party with him. But no he'll just meet the both of us, always everyone. I know he's committed to the group, and I hate to pull a Missy, but can he just grow up and at least consider dating me...Maya?" I looked up at Maya who looked ready to punch a wall, steam was practically coming out of her ears. "I know I've been ranting on for over five minutes but am I really that annoying",. "No your right you guys are perfect together", she paused refilling the air with silence. And if there's another girl? She tightened the grip on my wrist so much I held in a scream.
Then he'll choose you.
