"Come on huckleberry spit it out!"
"We went out on Friday because you wanted to make Josh jealous"
"I know… I was there?"
"And when we saw Josh you kissed me"
Her cheeks flushed slightly
"I kissed you back Maya, because something about it just felt right… it wasn't like kissing Riley"
"What are you trying to say here Lucas?"
"I'm trying to say that… Friday made me realise something, I care about Riley a lot but I don't love her and I will never love her the way she wants me to and that isn't fair. She deserves someone who feels the same way as her so I broke up with her, she deserves someone who loves her the same way I love… you"
Ok so now she was definitely blushing, "Are you fucking kidding me cowboy? You're telling me that the reason you left Riley was ME?!" she could feel tears stinging her eyes, God she was such an awful friend, the reason Riley was at home crying her eyes out was because couldn't keep her stupid boyfriend stealing hands off of Lucas
How could he have even put her in that position, how could he break Riley's heart and then make her feel guilty about it by telling her he loved her – Riley was her best friend and she was who Lucas belonged with – She was the one he was supposed to love.
"Maya please don't push me away, I know how much Riley means to you but we aren't together anymore – can't you see it isn't fair for me to stay with her when she's not the one I love?"
"Lucas… I think I should go" and with that she left quickly, half running, leaving behind the boy who loved her and she wasn't allowed to love back…
"Lucas honey are you ok?" asked Lily Friar entering from the living room, she'd heard Maya running out in a hurry and upon entering her sons room had seen him sitting there with hurt in his eyes knowing that he didn't stand a chance with Maya
"What happened?"
"I told her I loved her…" he said, his voice barely audible
Lily sighed.
Way to go big mouth…

Riley sat on the window seat in her room twirling her hair absentmindedly, whatever magical healing powers it seemed to possess they didn't appear to be working today.
Lucas loved Maya. Maya had gone to kick the shit out of him. Clearly they were no Romeo and Juliet but there was something there, and that she could deny. As much as she wanted to refuse any idea of Lucas and Maya having a connection she couldn't.
She appreciated Maya trying to comfort her – you know in her own Maya-ish way (going to beat Lucas up) but she knew that it wouldn't make any difference, Maya would never admit it but she had a soft spot for Lucas - despite all the playful teasing and nicknames she would never want to hurt Lucas and likewise he would never hurt her. Maya would never beat Lucas up and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't make Riley feel better because this time she was part of the problem. Topanga couldn't help because what did she know? She and Cory had a perfect relationship – he'd never fallen in love with her best friend. And telling Cory would be a BIG mistake, there were some things he just didn't understand. In fact there was only one other person she felt she could talk to about her problem…
There was a knock on her window…
"Lady…"
Farkle.
