It's been quite some time since I last manage to update one of my stories, but my teachers seem to be completely hooked on this thing they call homework, frankly I don't see the appeal of it all, but there you have it. I am almost done with all assignments before christmas which means that i will be updating a lot more.
"Well, would you look at that!" Maya said as we made it back to our apartment. "One of Farkle's ideas actually worked out for the better. Seems like you were worried for nothing Lucas." Well I hated to admit it, but I'd had a blast at the date so far and it promised to become even better as Farkle had invited the girls to stay at our apartment for some late night movies.
"You know very wel that I hadn't worried for nothing, not with how Farkle's ideas usually work out." Maya smirked and nodded before she joined me at the couch.
"Oh come on! You already got plenty back on me back at the restaurant." Farkle said and I knew that every little kiss or touch that me and Maya had back at the restaurant had been driving Farkle crazy.
"Yeah, okay Farkle I know we were a bit unfair with you so you can do whatever you want to do with Riley after you've started the movie. I think that as long as you still have your clothes on I'll be able to restrain little beautiful here." I said and pulled Maya up in my lap where she stayed.
"I appreciate that very much." Farkle told me before putting in the movie. He literally assaulted Riley as soon as she rounded the corner with the bowl of popcorn and I knew that had it not been for Maya's fast reactions the bowl would have smashed to the floor with all the contents lost on the floor.
"You could at least have let her sit down." I heard Maya mumble as she made her way back to me now with the bowl in hand. I couldn't help but at the sight before me. Maya smiled at me and next to her I saw my best friend making out with his girlfriend. That weird sight was something I was growing strangely accustomed to as well as increasingly fond of with each day that passed. I Realized as Maya sat back down on top of me and pushed my back down on the couch that I'd like nothing better than for things to remain like that.
"Hey lucas?" Maya said from her position on top of me. Our position was the same as it had been when Maya woke up on the day that we got together, only now she didn't seem to mind my arms wrapped around her. Riley and Farkle had made their way to his bedroom so there was no danger of eavesdropping.
"Yeah?"
"Were you scared at the restaurant?" if there had been anyone else in the room I wouldn't have been able to answer the question honestly, but the soft tone in Maya's voice told me that she was only concerned.
"I was freaking out, I didn't want you to get jealous or feel left out if I paid too much attention to Emily."
"Well I can't say that I wouldn't have been jealous if it hadn't been for the fact that you made it completely clear who you preferred between the two of us. I trust that you won't hurt me." I could see in Maya's eyes that her feelings matched her words. She had complete faith tat I wouldn't hurt her. I felt quite certain that her feelings were just as strong as mine were, but I still couldn't quite bring myself to say those three words.
"What's with the look you're giving me Lucas?" I hadn't even realized that I'd been staring at her for so long and although I knew that might very well be the perfect opportunity to tell her I was at a loss for words. I did the natural thing. I pretended to fall asleep.
"Stupid Lucas. You really are an idiot sometimes." I heard Maya say before I felt a pair of lips cover mine. I knew that my cover would be blown, but I couldn't help but kiss her back. Besides, I reasoned, my cover had been blown from the very beginning.
"Are you sure That you can't just take a picture of it?" I asked Riley. We'd once again been ditched by Maya as soon as we'd made it to school and with me being reminded of her art project I wasn't about to drop the subject voluntarily now that I was alone with Riley.
"I can't do that! I haven't even seen It myself. I just know what she's making, she wouldn't even let me get close to the actual project." I knew that there was more than one reason behind that. Although Riley was perhaps one of the school's best dancers she was also the biggest klutz I had ever seen. There had been some close saves involving Maya's paintings and drawings in the pas so even though no damage had been inflicted yet Maya had good reasons for keeping Riley away. She also knew that Riley was unable to keep secrets from Farkle. Still, I couldn't help but feel like I was the only one stuck without an idea of what she was making.
"Maya didn't let you off the hook on the whole school dance thing right?" I knew that Riley had just changed the topic of our conversation, but I had no possible way of redirecting it back to a topic tha I actually felt like discussing.
"no, she didn't, she said I didn't have to feel bad if I went without her. She also said that I was free to decide on my own, but I don't suppose you're going to let me stay home?" I asked her hopefully although I already pretty much knew the answer though.
"nope, unless she says she wants you to stay home you have to come with us. There won't be that many chances for us to go together as a group for a dance like this so you should make the most of it. Besides, you know that Maya wouldn't want you to miss out on it right?" I nodded. I knew that Riley was right, but I couldn't help but feel that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself all that much knowing that my girlfriend wouldn't be there with me.
"I just really wish that she could come." I muttered as Riley suddenly remembered what time it was and bounded off to her dance class as fast as her clumsy legs would let her. I left for my chemistry class, suddenly feeling really down.
"Did you enjoy your date on Saturday Lucas?" I heard a voice say to my right. Even with me being pretty out of it at the time it wasn't hard for me to figure out that the voice belonged to Emily. She smiled as I turned to look at her and so I made an effort to smile back at her although I figured it had to look pretty forced.
"Yeah, I did, I hope you didn't feel bad about just waitering for us though." I knew that if our positions had been reversed then there was no way that I'd have been able to keep it together like she did.
"Oh I survived. It's not like I can blame you or Maya for it, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. I'm just a little bit mad at myself for not taking the chance when you were single.2 I would have thought that it would be awkward pairing with someone that I knew had a crush on me when the feelings weren't mutual, but she hardly seemed to be affected by it and that made it super easy to just continue on as we had been doing before her confession.
Conversation flowed easily between us and the jokes that we made helped to lighten my mood. So much so that by the end of our class I was able to say goodbye to her with a genuine smile on my face before I rushed off to find Maya in the cafeteria. This was usually a near impossible task considering the fact that most people towered over her, but today she'd decided to make it easy for me. She jumped me from behind giggling like crazy.
"Well, with how good your mood is I take it art class went well?"
"Yeah it's amazing, have I ever told you how grateful I am for the fact that you made me switch classes? The project is almost finished and it's probably my best work yet." She jumped off my back and I turned to face her.
"Does that mean that I'll be able to see it soon then?" I asked hopefully. With how excited she was about it, it had to be good.
"Yeah it should be ready by next Monday so I can show it to you after school then." I smiled knowing that she'd probably planned it that way.
"This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with a certain someone's 18th birthday?"
"what? I thought you knew that Riley's birthday is in July?" she asked feigning ignorance. I merely sighed and pulled her along with me in search of the others. I knew that even though Emily had managed to cheer me up, there was no substitute for Maya. We joked around a bit more as we made our way over to the table where Riley and Farkle sat locked at the lips again.
