Not very many reviews last one... ToT Uber sad face. XP Just kidding. I'm used to it, so it don't matter to me. :3 Although I do like reviews. Reviews are fun. So is reviewing. I like to review things for every chapter I read. :D I'm a weird person. XD And I use a lot of emotions. ;p

Let's see... do I remember where I left off in the story...? Mehk. I think I do. XP Okay. I'm done talking now. ONTO THE STORY!

Maya grunted with effort as she pushed open the school doors, Riley walking next to her. She occasionally nodded her head as her friend talked about Lucas and what they did outside of the classroom after Farkle blew it, trying hard not to hear his name repeat itself in her head. Riley suddenly stopped, expelling a loud gasp.

"What?" Maya asked. Riley lifted her hand and pointed.

In the building next to them, there was a silver heart necklace. Two of them. Identical. Both with black pearls in the center. Maya peered at the yellow bargain price tag. Fifty percent off of normal price, which was twenty five dollars. For both. And the fifty percent off put it at a jaw dropping price of twelve dollars and fifty cents.

"I need to get that, Maya!" Riley exclaimed. "So that Lucas and I can wear them together!"

Maya scowled. "Lucas doesn't wear jewelry."

Riley shrugged, pressing herself up against the window and staring at the necklaces. "He might start to if I give it to him." Riley peeled herself away from the glass and started to dig through her bag. She let out a moan as she found no money in it. "I need to go home to get it!" Riley started to run off. "Stay here and make sure nobody comes and buys them!" she shouted to Maya as she disappeared into the subway.

Maya grunted and leaned against the wall. "Sure. Why not?" She slid down it and sat down on the cement, staring at her hands. A few minutes passed and she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Maya pulled it out and flipped up the screen.

New message from: Butt Face.

Maya sighed and pressed okay to open up the message.

I can't come and get it today... Sad face. Riley had texted. Dad won't let me out of the house again because I told him that I was getting them for Lucas.

Maya sighed and was about to close her phone when another text came in.

Could you... possibly... maybe buy them for me?

Maya reached into her left pocket, pulling out fifteen dollars. Her lunch money.

"But she's getting it for Lucas." Maya said out loud. She scowled. "I should be the one giving things to Lucas." She looked back down at her phone.

Sorry. she started to type on the nine-button pad. I don't got any money on me.

Maya hit send and waited for a response from Riley. A few seconds later, a text came in from her, showing a whole bunch of emotions expressing sadness and then an Okay... at the end.

Maya smiled and put her phone away. She got up and walked into the jewelry store.

The man on duty looked up. "What can I do for you today, miss?" he asked Maya.

"I would like to buy those two pearl heart necklaces, please." she told the clerk.

The clerk nodded and walked out from behind the counter and to the window. He came back with the two necklaces. The man got back behind the counter and as he rang them up, he asked Maya a question. "And who might these beauties be for?"

Maya shuffled her feet before looking up. "My..." she was about to say best friend, but stopped herself, realizing she didn't know what she was going to do with these necklaces besides keep them out of Riley's reach. "My boyfriend." she finally said, a smile on her face.

"Well," the clerk replied. "He sure is a lucky one, finding a fine lady such as yourself." he touched the necklaces. "Thirteen ninety-five." he told her.

Maya handed the clerk the fifteen dollars and he gave her a dollar and a nickel back in return, as well as the two necklaces. "Have a good day." he told Maya. Maya smiled at him before leaving the jewelry store.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket again, and Maya stopped to check it.

Can you at least tell them to hold it for me, please? Riley asked.

Maya quickly texted back to her. Sorry, Ri. Somebody already bought them.

Maya immediately got a whole bunch more of depressing emotions followed up by anOkay. Thanks for trying, Maya. See you in the morning.

See ya, Butt Face.

Maya sighed, wondering if taking the necklaces was a good thing, and then lying about them.

Another secret to keep from my best friend... She thought sadly. Maybe Farkel was right. I should tell her.

But if I did, we might not be friends anymore.

We might not be friends at all...

Forever.

I can't tell her. Maya finally decided. One more secret isn't going to hurt anybody, as long as I don't tell the person that I'm keeping them from.

Oh boy. This is going to be hard.

Maya sighed, kicking a rock, and started to walk towards home.
