I know I'm an awful person for taking two years to update, but I reread what I wrote and I never realized I left it on a complete cliffhanger about their date!

Maya's texts: Italic

Riley's texts: bold

I've kept you long enough. Here we go!

ENJOY

Thursday evening

Maya's POV

Oh my god. This is it. It's actually happening. Hop-along and I are going on an actual date. Oh my god. It's going to be… an adventure. One I'm so excited for. One I can't stop smiling about.

Lucas's POV

I can't believe this is finally happening. I'm going on a date with Maya Hart.

Me. Date. Maya Hart. My mind can't wrap my head around the idea. It's so unbelievable. In the best way possible of course

Maya's POV

After a while of pondering what to wear I had it down to two outfits. A cute red top with the words 'rebel' on it paired with a brown leather jacket, combat boots and classic ripped jeans. Or a simple knee-high red dress with a black leather jacket and combat boots. I needed help. I needed my best friend. So I texted her.

Riles. I need your help with outfits. Txt me back when you can plz.

Almost instantly I got this back.

What is it? Options. Tell me. Go

Here

I attached two pictures of me in each ensemble.

I think I like the second one. The dress says 'I'm classy', but the jacket 'Don't mess with me'. A very Maya outfit.

You're right, thanks so much for the help!

How is it that best friends know exactly what you need. Even when you have no idea. They know exactly what you need.

That's what best friends are for. Oh and Maya

Yeah?

Have a great date. You deserve to be happy.

Thank you. I needed to hear that. Ttyl. I'll fill you in later.

I sighed as I looked in the mirror after I got the dress on and my hair brushed and in a high ponytail. I'm ready for the date. I thought to myself as I head down the stairs. I walk into my living room and see a friendly face that wasn't too friendly at the moment sitting in the arm chair.

"Hi Shawn."

Lucas's POV

I pulled on a new tee of a band Maya and I liked and jeans for the date. And after a battle in my mind, I decided to wear cowboy boots. For Maya I thought. I had about 15 minutes left before I had to pick up Maya. As if on cue Farkle came knocking on my window.

"Hey Farkle, I can't talk real long. I'm meeting Maya soon."

"I now I came by to see how you are feeling about the date."

"I'm feeling fine. I mean I don't want to mess this up, our friendship is at stake. I don't want to mess anything up. I want this to be amazing."

"Did you feel this way about your date with Riley?"

"Kind of, but in a different. I wasn't nervous. I knew that no matter happened that we would have each others back. But Maya brings something else out. Something I haven't felt about Riley. A sense of something new and adventurous."

"It sounds like you have everything you figured out. You're ready for this."

I looked in the mirror and fixed my hair. I think I'm ready for my date. No, I know I'm ready for this date.

"Oh and Lucas" Farkle shouts to me. I turn to him.

"Yeah?"

"Don't hurt her. Or I'll come after you."

"Trust me, I wouldn't dream of hurting her."

With that I head out of my house and to Maya's.

No one's POV

"Hi, Shawn" Maya says nervously.

"Hey kiddo. So your mom told me about some sort of date." Shawn said not looking up from his newspaper.

Maya moved her head to send a message to her Mom through her eyes. Katy sent a message Sorry Maya it just slipped out

In Katy's defense she's always been bad at keeping a secret for a long time.

Shawn kept talking,"So when do I get to meet this mystery boy?" Mystery? Maya thought. Did her mom not tell Shawn it was Lucas? Just then

*knock knock knock*

"Oh," Shawn continued said fake happily. "Is this him now?" He said as he flung the door open. It was some poor Girl Scout trying to sell cookies. Poor child, Shawn's kinda scary right now. Shawn felt bad and bought two boxes of Fudge Delights. Behind the girl was the actual victim Shawn was after. "Oh, hey Lucas," Shawn said, "Now's not the best time. I'm trying to hunt down the boy taking Maya out."

Lucas cleared his throat. "Umm, Sir. I'm actually the one taking her out."

Shawn looked multiple times between Maya and Lucas. "What?" Shawn complained, "I liked Lucas. I didn't want to have to kill him."

"Here's an idea," Maya cut in, " Ix-nay the murder and let me and Lucas go on a date."

Before Shawn had a chance to respond Maya took Lucas's hand and lead him out of the apartment.

So. I wrote the predate chapter and I will post the actually date chapter in a few days or so.

R&R please leave constructive criticism. I love to hear what you think will make the story better. Please leave ideas on where the date should be.

Keep writing loves
