you look beautiful today

farkle i'm trying to pay attention!

you look beautiful trying to pay attention

shouldn't you be paying attention too, mr genius?

please, this is health class. aka the minor leagues, my sweet

you're so big-headed

because my head is full of thoughts of you!

anyway, how did the bay window go with maya yesterday? did you figure out what's up with her?

my dear farks, what happens at the bay window stays at the bay window!

good, because i have a feeling your dad wouldn't take too kindly what we did on the bay window last week

well now i have to burn this piece of paper

speaking of things burning, lucas' date with sarah totally crashed and burned the other night

that's good to know

i thought you were all for him putting himself out there

well yeah i am… but only if he's putting himself out there for a certain cute little blonde named peaches!

riley, you can't play matchmaker anymore, it's dangerous

WATCH ME!

wait, is this why maya's been such a sourpuss lately

sourpuss, i love that word! it reminds me a grumpy cat!

don't avoid the question. and by the way, maya IS a grumpy cat

ok ok

you didn't hear from me but apparently … maya told lucas she liked him

WHAT

ARE YOU SERIOUS

ok, we DEFINITELY have to burn this piece of paper after class

RILEY WHAT

they were passing notes the day before yesterday and they were just joking around and maya said she just kind of…admitted it? she totally regrets it now

why? he's totally into her! they're practically dating already

no no no she's all embarrassed now and he won't stop texting her ! plus he really hurt her feelings by going out with sarah

yeah lucas is an idiot for saying yes. sarah will never leave him alone now

NOT the point. maya's scared he's not serious about her anymore because he went on a date with someone else

but they didn't even have a good time

so? he didn't know that when he said yes

this is insane.

no it's not, you're just being insensitive.

but lucas has liked maya for ages, doesn't that count for anything?

it counts, it counts. but it bruised her ego a little. he's going to have to do something to prove he's serious about her and ONLY her

good luck to you friar. is this why she's not at school today?

no it's because she's sick

is sick code for avoiding lucas or is sick code for sneezing her guts out

all of the above, my love

does lucas know about this?

well obviously. but they haven't talked.

she's being crazy if you ask me. he obviously likes her back, what's the issue?

FARKLE, maya is FRAGILE. she comes from a BROKEN HOME. she barely shares her feelings with ME, let alone random boys she HAS feelings for

but lucas isn't a random boy she has feelings for. if he was she wouldnt have feelings for

i know he's not. but he might as well be considering how freaked out maya is

if you ask me

i didn't

IF YOU ASK ME, maya should just be honest. avoiding him is pretty childish

coming from you! leave her alone

you coddle her

i do NOT. you guys engineered an entire committee devoted to coddling me in middle school!

that was for your own good! forcing maya to confront her feelings for lucas will only help her

sigh

i know. listen, we have to stop. he's talking about the dangers of methamphetamines. this can only benefit us

you're right, i don't know about you, but i myself find it difficult to pass up a good old heaping of meth these days

shut up and listen xxx

love you!

love you too 3
