…
When Maya walked past Lucas on her way to class, she kicked him in the leg before she muttered her first words of the day.
"Looking good Pardner." He snickered at her before he turned and got into her face, as close as he could without her getting too angry.
"Hi there Pancake," he whispered, and he watched the fire light up in her eyes and blaze across her cheeks before she stepped back.
"You're in my way."
"Always am Darlin'."
She growled at him before she stormed into the classroom, a whirl of blonde curls and blazing fire. He followed in after her, chuckling the whole time. He could see Zay, Riley, and Farkle all giving him looks, but he just smiled his Howdy-Doody smile and sat down behind her.
He could swear he could see steam coming off of her.
It was a good day so far.
Until Maya turned around and smirked at Lucas.
Oh boy, he was in trouble now.
"So Cowpoke, how's the farm this sunny day?"
"Oh parden me ma'am, but it's a ranch, not a farm."
"Is it now? How fascinating," she said, scrunching her nose up in annoyance and sarcasm. He quirked an eyebrow at her and was about to retaliate until Mr. Matthews interjected with a throat clearing.
"Can you two pick up on this lovefest after this class? I'd like to actually finish a lesson for once." They both turned to the face the front, their faces red as the rest of the class began to chuckle at them, causing Maya to do a queen-wave to them before she turned away to grin at Mr. Matthews. "You may be excused."
"Thanks Cap'n," she said, saluting him and walking out. He looked at the ones who were left before he threw up his hands.
"Why do I even bother anymore?"
They got up and left, following Maya out.
"The rest of you? Get out of here. Go get an early lunch or something."
…
"Why do you have to be so annoying?!" She cried out to him, turning to him a flurry of movement. He just smiled and shook his head.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?!"
"Why can't you just stop already? I said no. That means no."
"Do you mean it?! If you really want me to back off, I will back off. Just say it so I believe you. I'm crazy about you. I have been ever since you dropped Riley in my lap on the subway. Riley and I tried the boyfriend-girlfriend thing. It didn't work. And you know why? Because it's always been you." Maya stood there, her eyes locked on Riley, who nodded.
"It's true Maya. I've always liked Lucas, but it's never felt right. You two… you're right. He's another you. My best friend. My family." Maya shook her head and found Farkle's eyes, which sparkled at her.
"It doesn't take a genius – which I am, remember – to see the spark between you two. They never had that."
"Come on, why would he call you a blonde beauty if he didn't feel something for you?" Maya shook her head again, not wanting to believe someone would finally want her, before she looked at Lucas, pulling him close to her by the front of his shirt.
"I can't stand you Howdy."
"I know Pancake. It's okay."
She kissed him then, smack dab in the hallway, before she pulled away from him. Lucas stood there, struck dumb from her kiss as she walked away from him, Riley by her side now.
"…What just happened?"
"I think you won."
…
"I can't believe you did that."
"I can't either."
"I mean… you kissed him."
"I know."
"You kissed him."
"I did."
"You kissed Lucas."
"I think you're in more shock than I am."
"I don't think so. I just… was not expecting that."
"Honestly, I wasn't either. He just got up in my face and he was…"
"Was?"
"Was… so hot."
"Wow."
"I know."
"He got to you?"
"He finally got to me. That damn smug cowboy finally won."
"You had to know it was coming sooner or later."
"I know."
…
"I won?"
"You won."
"I won?"
"You won."
"You beat Maya at her own game."
"How?"
"That is the question."
"One we do not know the answer to."
"How the hell did I do this?"
"Better question."
"What happens now?"
"I have no idea."
…
Maya walked up to Lucas, who she found sitting in the hallway.
"Where'd your boy-gang go?" she asked, sitting next to him. He looked at her and shrugged.
"They said something about getting lunch. Where's Riley?"
"Something about talking to her dad."
"So..."
"So."
"It's… just us."
"Wow, so perceptive Pardner."
"Why thank you ma'am," he said, fake-tipping his hat as always. She giggled and shook her head.
"So what do we do now?"
"I don't know, but… I like you Maya."
"I know… I like you too."
"Should we… give this a try?"
"I don't know, maybe? Everyone seems to think so."
"What do you think?"
"I think you scare me."
"How?"
"What if… what if we don't work? I don't want us to not work."
"Then we'll just have to make sure it works," he said, reaching for her hand. "I really care about you Maya."
"I really care about you too."
"I know I went about this all the wrong way, but will you-"
"Yes."
"Yes?" She rolled her eyes and yanked him close to her.
"Just shut up and kiss me already."
…
