Okay so camp took a week which is why I haven't been posting at all, but now I'm back.

Maya stood in my doorway leaning on the doorframe with her usual bored look, the look that I couldn't resist. Still I found it strange that she would be there now, acting like nothing ever happened between us.

"Seriously you didn't think Farkle of all people would ever man up enough to actually throw something at you now did you?" Maya tried her best to smile, that's how I knew that we still weren't back to normal.

"Nah I figure it takes a real man to do that." Maya looked like she'd been slapped in the face. Okay maybe it was a little rough talking to her like that, but honestly I didn't care. It wasn't my fault that she decided to distance herself from me, at least in my head it wasn't. And I'd suffered so much ever since she decided to do it.

"Ey Farkle he's up now!" Maya called to Farkle and went to join him and Riley. I decided I needed to get out of bed now that she was here because with the way things were going now there was no telling when she would start ignoring me again. I walked into the kitchen and started preparing my lunch for the day. I started grabbing for the door of the refrigerator only to find that it was already opened. The juice was gone and when I turned I saw Maya empty the last drops of it.

"I guess they're kissing again then?" I asked and she nodded. Farkle and Riley had this thing that whenever they got too into a kiss they would stop noticing anything else around them, it had led to some pretty amusing situations when they were at Riley's home and her dad caught her.

"Listen I'm sorry abo-" I started when she cut me off.

"It's not your fault that I overreact to every single comment, it's my very own fault."

"But that just means that I should watch what I say even more, I mean if it leads to you avoiding me for weeks afterwards."

"Yeah, but hey, I mean you were just messing around it's my own fault for suddenly taking you all seriously." I thought about that for a while. I realized that I had been joking around, but I really did want her to answer the unspoken question. I really wanted her to tell me how she felt about me. If only to be crushed I wanted to know, because then I might finally be able to get some closure on the whole thing.

"So I guess you finally figured out an answer as well then?"

"What do you mean?"

"Farkle told me, you have to decide how you look at a person an-"

"Yeah I guess he told you about Riley's theory, it's not all true though. It's true that I take a long time to make up my mind about a person, but once I do it's usually set."

"So usually? That means there are exceptions right?"

"Don't push your luck country boy, I'm not known for my deep conversations so once a day is my limit."

"Damn city girl, you and your rules." I complained, it felt good to be able to joke around with her like I used to. I could feel my mood rising just from holding her gaze. It must sound ridiculous, but she really had an effect on me that I couldn't even begin to explain. Still, there was some part of me that really wanted to push her for more information, but I held back for fear of losing her once more. Besides if she really was as she herself explained her feelings shouldn't change that fast.

"You do realize that you are going to be late if you don't pick up the pace right?" Maya complained tapping her boot against the floor impatiently.

"Yeah yeah," I said and continued with my lunch at my own pace.

"God you're annoying." She said and I had to bite my lip not to make the same mistake once more.

"Okay okay, just let me brush my teeth and then I'm ready, in the meantime you can hose down the couple over there." I gestured towards the couch where Riley and Farkle were still locked together. Maya sighed and reluctantly nodded.

"So did Riley tell you about the trip to the beach that we talked about?" I asked Maya nodded.

"Yeah she did."

"So are you coming with us or not." Maya was about to reply to my question when Riley caught up and flung her right arm over Maya's shoulder.

"Yeah she is." Maya looked like she wanted to argue, but one look shared between the two kept her silent. "I just have to find all the thing that she'll need and then I will have to find a bodybag to stuff her in so that she can't escape."

"Hey!" Maya complained.

"You might want to get a lock for that bodybag though, or else I fear for your safety Riley." I said before I cracked up. Riley almost did too, but she was too busy sprinting away from Maya.

"Well, things seem like they're back to normal now don't they?" Farkle asked as he caught up with us.

"Not quite, but I guess it is a start. I'm just not sure if I want to go back to how things were before. I really want to take things further. You know how I always thought you were chickening out?" I asked Farkle and he snorted.

"Yeah?"

"Well I don't really feel like giving you the chance to take revenge on me. Besides of you said she might actually like me then I say it's worth a shot at least. I don't really see you being wrong when it comes to anything."

"well at least you've made up your mind and it's not like you have anything too loose either with the situation being as it is." I pondered that for a while before I decided that he was right.

"Yeah well we were all going to the beach this weekend, even Maya according to Riley. I'm going to ask her out there."

Well I'm still keeping the regular 1k minimum for my stories, and I really enjoy writing this story in particular so expect another update quite soon. Of course I could have continued the chapter, but I felt it was natural to end it off there. I already have most of the story ground story planned out. It will just take some time for me to write it so that it doesn't look like it was done by a six year old.
