So, I'm doing this chapter from my iPOD instead of my iPAD, so if the format is different, then I'm sorry for that. Anyways, I was happy with the new episode that came out today (Friday) and I saw a couple of BMW episodes as well. Anyways, this is for all you: my wonderful viewers, reviewers (including Fabiana H.) and favorites/followers! It's great to see this fandom continue to grow.

Maya's POV:

I'm glad that worked. I needed that too. If that didn't work, Riley would have KILLED me. I don't know how, but she'd find a way. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. She's my best friend.

"Mr. Matthews?" I wanted to put my word in for Lucas.

"Yes Maya?"

"My test... He passed."

"WHAT?! Class, I'm sorry I have to discuss something with a student. I'll be right back." He took me to the hall.

"I have no idea how he did it, but somehow he passed it."

"Wait... He defended himself? He proved himself to you?"

"Yeah. The only boy that's EVER gotten close to passing. I couldn't believe it."

"I... I like him too. Does that mean... That she might be ready... For a BOYFRIEND?!"

"Well, should I test her too?"

"You know what? Not the same way you did Lucas, but yes. Put her under pressure. Embarrass her. Something!" Oh this will be fun...

"Alright... I'll figure something out." I smiled

"Good. But... He PASSED?!"

"I couldn't believe it. I even had to talk to him. About dating my best friend. It was hard."

"Well, I'm sure you tried. That boy just won't lose will he? Riley has to be our target."

"Right." Now, you may not see why I want to help Mr. Matthews stop his daughter from a relationship, but not only did I promise to protect her, I also have my OWN reasons to stop them. You see, her having a boyfriend- it might hurt our friendship, and finally... I just don't want to fall behind. I don't want to be single longer than her! On the other hand... She's my best friend. I can't make her sad! I don't want to hurt her. Look at them together. They're so cute! Sigh... I feel happy for her.

Lucas's POV:

Wow. Maya was tough. Considering I had no crush in Texas, I walked right into a hard one. Now I just have to win HER over? After what I saw yesterday... That's not going to be easy. I'm just a middle school boy with a crush! Why can't a be a middle school guy obsessed with grades or something! Ugh... Stupid Girls! Playing mind games... Ruining my mind. Argh! How do I play these games... I should look it up.

"Hey Lucas, what are you looking for?" I heard a girls voice say that wasn't Riley's ask.

"I'm just looking for how to..." I looked up to see who it was. Maya?!

"I caught you. Ha!" Hmm...

"So? I'm looking this up? It doesn't mean anything..."

"Yes it does. Riley? How are you over here already?" Oh no...

"Ive been here for a while." Uh...

"Okay, what was I looking up?" I shouldn't have asked that...

"How to get your crush to like you." No scared fear? "I'd kinda like to see too. Click on one." She told me. Maya was just surprised. Honestly, so was I. I chose an article for her to read, and gave her my phone. She moved her mouth a couple of times. Huh. I wonder who her crush is.

Riley's POV:

Why is HE looking at how to get a crush to like him? He shouldn't need that! He should do just fine without some site.

"Riley? How are you over here already?" Maya asked

"I've been here for a while."

"Okay, what was I looking up?"

"How to get your crush to like you." OMG. I can't let him see that!

"I'd kinda like too. Click on one." That should fool him.

Awesome. He gave me his phone. He's got nothing to hide. I like him. Now, just try and pretend you're reading. Uh Huh... Something about hair... I like his hair. Something about teeth... I like his smile... Oh deodorant... I like his smell. Odd. This is weird. Oh, there's personality. Nice, Smart, Adventurous, hmm... He doesn't need this.

"Why would you need something like this?" Maya began to realize what I was doing.

"Why is it all stuff I know?" Hmm... Let's see this.

"Well, if you know who YOUR crush is, why do you care about someone else's opinion? You must like this girl for some reason right?"

"Well... Yeah?" He was confused.

"So if the article says that guys like girls who wear dresses, are you going to not like your crush because she doesn't wear dresses?"

"Um... I guess not. I'd still like her even if she didn't wear a dress once." WOO HOO! I did it!

"Riley, would you still have a crush on the guy you do if I didn't push you into him?" Huh?

"Well, as long as I was still in his class, then yeah, probably."

"Probably? Not yes?" MAYA!

"WAH! I can't answer that." I give up.

"Aw... Did Riley just get embarrassed because of a Crush on a BOY? Poor girl..." LUCAS IS LAUGHING AT ME. LIFE'S NOT FAIR. This is the most embarrassing moment of my life!

"Maya, maybe you should just tell him." I can't take this.

"Alright. Hey L-" OH NO.
"I DIDNT MEAN THAT!"
"Well, you said to tell-"
"I WAS KIDDING!"
"Wow. Why do you want to hide your crush so bad. I mean, it's going to get out eventually."
"Not if I have any say in it!" I'm NEVER letting my crush out of my mind anymore.
"Well, what happens when he Asks You (pokes her chest) to the DANCE?" WHAT?! Then... Then... Then...
"Then... I... I... I have no idea... Maya I'm not like you. I'm just a scared little girl with no reason to play this game. Maybe I should just give up." Let's see if this trick works. I heard her dad's conversation with her. About trying to get me to fail. Hmm... It just has to be bad enough to not trick Lucas too.
"If that's the way you want it to be, it might be better for you." Oh good grief. A girl can't trick a girl can she?
"Maya, do you think I'm kidding? Do I look happy now?" Once again, happy I don't have makeup. "I'm not. I like him. A LOT. I might as well just shout it out to the whole class. Myself. Without your help." I told her, making her worry. Good.
"Riley, I didn't-"
"Nope. You convinced me. You were right. I don't know what I would've gotten myself into. I've gone too far with this. I can at least say I had a crush at one point." What's Lucas doing with his head down? Is he upset? Oh good grief. Did I take this too far? Great.
"Riley-Please-Listen-To-Me!" Ugh. She forced me to sit down, and then put her hand over my mouth. Ugh.
"Riley, you're my best friend. Do you think I want to hurt you? No. I never would. I just can't tell if your feelings are ready. Well, I couldn't. Look, liking somebody is hard enough as a Grown Up, or in High School, let alone Middle School. I don't even know if I'm ready yet. Riley, the best way to make the world your own is by going out and doing things. Having fun, gaining new experiences, things like that. I don't want my friend to miss out on those. I do think it's about time this mess ended though." She walks over to Lucas, meaning she uncovers my mouth.
"Maya, you don't-" She's getting Lucas. Oh no.
"Lucas, Riley, talk. To each other. NOW." Ugh...
"About what?!" We both ask her.
"Hey... You said..." Jinx war. "The same... Thing I... Said." Even with pauses, the same time?!
"There ya go you two love freaks. Just kiss already!" WAIT, WHAT?!

Lucas's POV:
"There ya go you two love freaks. Just Kiss already!" WAIT, WHAT?! Maya are you crazy?!
"Maya, what are you Thinking?!" I didn't say it.
"You mean... You don't want to?" I was fake hurt by this. I didn't want to yet either.
"Lucas, we will have that moment. Together. It's just not now. I don't do so good under pressure." Huh. Neither do I.
"Wait... Is something happening? Someone... Admitting? Finally?" I didn't catch it.
"No, Maya. We aren't admitting to each other. At least, I don't think so." Maya smiled huge.
"Oh COME ON! What do I have to do here! Will you two just kiss for crying out loud?!"
"Why? Why do you want us to kiss so badly Maya?" I will take care of this Riley...
"Do you know something we don't?" I was real suspicious of this girl the whole time.
"Well, isn't it obvious to both of you two by now?" Riley and I look at each other and shake our heads no.
"OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! You are the two most oblivious people in the history of the EARTH, the Galaxy, the Solar System and the Universe. I swear if you don't know about this by now, your probably the most oblivious CREATURE in the world turned upside down." Wow. That's bold.
"I don't get it." Aw... Her cluelessness makes her so cute, even when it makes Maya mad.
"OH COME ON! Lucas. Please. Tell me you get this?" Haha oh I got this one.
"Maya, in the south, I never once heard that word... Oblivious. And I get A's on Spelling, Grammar and Synonym/Antonym tests all the time." She was burning. Rage.
"YOU PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME! HOW DO YOU GET TO 8TH GRADE AND NOT NOW WHAT OBLIVIOUS MEANS! ARGH THE EARTH IS HOPELESS! AND YOU TWO ARE BOTH THE BRAINIACS TOO!" Um... Okay...
"Judging by your volume, tone and vocabulary I'm guessing your Not, a brainiac?" Haha Riley!
"Argh. Just... Argh. I can't even say anything anymore. This is pathetic. I give up. You two are freaking hopeless. Good luck." Finally. Some peace.
"So class, this is how you stay friends with your best friend even if you are really mad at them and they are mad at you. That's your lesson for the day, because without friends, the Allies wouldn't have won either World Wars." There's the bell. Awesome. Time for the next class.
"Wait, Lucas? You're still coming over after school today right?"
"Of course I am Riley! I never told you I canceled."
"Great. I'll see you on the sub?"
"See you on the sub." I told her as we went out separate ways.
