Riley's POV
"What belongs to you but others use it more than you?" Maya asked sitting on the bench next to me. We had stopped for lunch at a park and Maya and Lucas had just come back from a coffee shop near by. "What?" I asked her curiously. "Nuh uh, you've gotta figure this one out yourself, you probably won't though. And it'll probably bug you for the entire trip" Maya smiled taking a sip of her coffee.
"Maya pleaassee?" I begged.
"Nope" she said simply tracing the top of her cup around with her finger.
"Why?" I asked frustrated, Maya knew for a fact that I hated riddles, they ate away at me and I couldn't think about anything else. Why the hell had she decided to ask me one then not tell me the answer now.
"Because Riley, I'm trying to get something out of you. And I've learnt that the best way to do that is to make you suffer" Maya said now shaking her coffee a little bit.
"Wha- oh come on Maya! What do you want to get out of me?" I asked.
"What's the matter?" Maya asked. "My best friend won't tell me the answer to a riddle" I sighed. "No I mean apart from that" Maya said looking at me carefully, "something's bugging you, what is it?" She asked.
"Nothing's bugging me" I mumbled, "okay, good luck with the riddle" Maya smilled then she chugged down the rest of her coffee. Lucas walked past and smiled at Maya, she smiled back then looked down at her lap. That's what was bugging me.
We sat in silence waiting for the other to crack until my dad called us back to the bus, "you staying next to Lucas?" I asked as if I didn't care. "Yeah" Maya smiled but not at me, she was staring at Lucas. I knew Maya wasn't doing this on purpose but it killed me to watch. I sat down next to my dad and tried not to cry. Maya stopped walking when I sat and looked at me. She stared for a minute then she seemed to realise something, she frowned then sighed. "Actually, I'm gonna sit at with Farkle, I think Zay may miss Huckleberry".
without another word she walked to the back of the bus and told Zay to sit next to Lucas then she sat next to Farkle.
I should've felt better but I really didn't, I felt terrible because Maya obviously liked Lucas, and so did I. But neither of us were going to step on the others toes which made both of us upset. That was worse than just me being upset.
We didn't stop again until we arrived at the campsite. I was really torn and really depressed. I looked at Maya and she was staring at Lucas again. I got off the bus first and stretched, the campsite was massive, there were some caravans in the distance, a few cabins and BBQ areas. Where I was there was a massive patch of grass with unmade tents lying on it.
It was nearly 8pm and we were expected to make our own tents?
"Hey" a male voice said from next to me. I jumped and hit him in the face.
"Oh my god I am so sorry" I apologized blushing, I looked at him and oh my god he was beautiful.
He had brown curly hair and dimples, a lot like Harry Styles, only his face was a lot more chiseled and serious somehow.
He looked about 17 or 18, I was 15 so we probably couldn't get married or have babies yet, but I could definitely do things that created babies with him...
Wow I was turning into Maya!
Everyone else got off the bus and all the girls seemed to have the same reaction to the guy as I did. "Hey everyone" he smiled at them looking away from me. "I'm Matt, I'm going to be your camp instructor for the next few days!" He got into a very detailed description of what we'd be doing. "You will be in groups of 10, 5 girls and 5 boys in every group, these will be your groups every day until you leave. Usually I'd say you could choose your own groups but that'd be a bit easy, so your teacher will choose team leaders and they will choose a name from this bucket" he picked up a small bucket filled with small folded pieces of paper inside it. "So, who are your leaders Mr Mathews?"
My dad walked to the front and looked at us all for a long while. "Hurry up Cory!" Maya yelled. He smiled smugly then turned to face Matt, "Maya Hart, will be one of our leaders".
Heyyy. I'm back! It's literally been like a year I'm sooo sorry so much has been going on you have no idea. I've missed writing and this fanfiction so much I was so keen to get back at it. I'll be posting a lot more up until Christmas. I'm hoping to get the story finished on Christmas day as a present to y'all. Thanks for reading! I love you! xx Lulu
