Riley was putting her underwear on in the girls' locker room looking a bit dazed and confused. Maya then stepped out of the shower still nude as she said, "Wow. That was just... wow. Riley... you were... amazing." Riley glanced at Maya as she said, "Well... I'm glad you feel better now." Maya then stepped towards Riley and said, "Riley. We need to talk about what's going on between us. That wasn't wine that made us do what we just did. That was... something else." Riley then looked right at Maya as she said, "Maya, I... I love you. More than anyone else I know. But... I don't know what this... thing going on between us means." Maya then got right in front of Riley and put a hand on her cheek as she said, "Riley. I don't quite understand what this thing between us is either. But what we just did... Look. You're scared. I'm nervous. But what we did... I guess we did it on purpose." Riley sighed and said, "I just need... time, to figure out what we just did means in the grand scheme of my future." Maya sighed and said, "Okay. But was I... good?" Riley smiled as she said, "You were more than good."

The next day Riley, Maya, and their friends were sitting in English class together. Their teacher stood before them saying, "For your senior year, I want you to write an essay of what you're feeling at this point in your life. Where do your passions now lie? What are the thoughts that dominate your brain right now?" As the teacher continued to talk, Maya and Riley found themselves constantly glancing at the other. They never kept their eyes on each other for more than five seconds, but each five seconds they starred at each other felt like starring into heaven. Suddenly the announcement speaker in the school went off and a voice was heard saying, "Well the votes are in students. Your prom king and queen for this year are Abigail Adam High's sweet heart couple: Lucas Friar and Riley Matthews." Everyone in the class began to cheer as Lucas who was next to Riley waved to everyone and then got up to give Riley a kiss on the cheek. Riley made a smile at Lucas but for a split second looked at Maya with an expression of confusion in her face.

Several days later it was the prom for all of the senior high students at Abigail Adams High School. Everyone had a fun time socializing and eating food. Riley and Lucas of course had their crowning ceremony and dance that everyone got to watch. But Maya (who came alone to the dance) just stood on the side the whole time watching Riley with a look of sadness in her face. Near the end of the prom while Lucas was in the bathroom, Riley quickly went over to Maya said, "The bathroom now." Once the two girls were in the bathroom, Riley said, "Maya I'm... I'm sorry for this whole week. I've been leading you on but I've stayed with Lucas and..." Maya cut Riley off and said, "No. It's okay. You're with Lucas. You're a good fit. I don't know what I was thinking about there being more than friendship between us." Riley then said, "Maya, I..." Tears began to come out of Maya's eyes as she said, "I mean we're still young and I think what we went through was just us being hormonal confused teenagers. I mean everyone experiments a bit when they're young and I..." Suddenly Riley interrupted Maya by grabbing her cheeks and kissing her. After a moment, Riley broke their kiss. The two girls just starred at each for a moment. Then suddenly they wrapped their arms around each other and proceeded to kiss again. Suddenly the three heard Lucas' voice say, "Riley, you in there?" Suddenly the two broke their kiss as they had a look of worry on their faces. After a moment, Riley then said, "Yeah. I'll... I'll be right out." Riley began to walk away but Maya clutched onto Riley's right hand with hers. Tears began to appear in Riley's face as she turned her head and body away as she walked away from Maya. Maya was now in the bathroom all alone and crying.
