"Josh!" I gasp "what are you doing here?" He just smirks at me and sits down. "Had some time off from school so I thought I come visit my brother and my favorite ferret." I blush at his comment. "Oh." Is all I say.
He looks at me and says "so what's new in the world of Maya Hart?" I shrug my shoulders and say "not much. Just trying to figure out what I'm entering in the arts and music festival in April." His eyes widen and he leans on the table. "The great Maya Hart is having trouble coming up with something?"
I nod my head and he chuckles. "I find that hard to believe." I smile slightly "well believe it cause I am." He leans back and says "well what can I do to help unstick you." Saying that made me think of Charlie. "Hey." Josh says grabbing my hand. "Where you go right now?"
I chuckle and say "I didn't go anywhere just a little lost in thought." He just looks at me but never lets go of my hand. I find myself staring at it and thinking it didn't feel like when I held Charlie's hand. I shake that thought away and look at josh. "So how are you going to help me?" I say smiling.
He smirks and says "I got some ideas. Let's go."

"I'm never going to find a duet partner." I say to Farkle throwing my pencil across the room. "Whoa what happen in here?" Lucas asks when Zay and him come in my room and see papers scattered everywhere. I sigh and lay on the the floor.
"It seems our dear friend is having trouble figuring out who to sing with." Farkle tells them. "He's not having trouble, he just doesn't want them." Zay says spinning himself on my chair. I roll my eyes and the others chuckle.
"So what if I want Maya! It's not like I can have her." I shout silencing them. "Dude what's going on with you?" Lucas ask as they all lay down on my floor around me. I sigh once again and tell them. "Whoa you told her you love her?" Zay says looking at me.
"Yup and she ran. I don't know what's going on with her?" I say rubbing my face. "Are you just going to give her up?" Farkle asks. "No!" I shout sitting up. "I don't want to lose her. But if loving her is going to push her away then I need to figure out a way to put those feelings aside and keep her as my friend."
They all get up and share a look. "You're willing to put aside your real feelings to keep her? That's crazy man." Zay says shaking his head. Farkle and Lucas look at each other than me. "What?" I ask looking between them. They smile and say at the same time. "That's not crazy that's exactly something Riley would do."
I smile and remember that is what she did when she thought Maya liked Lucas. In the end it was all a misunderstanding and now they're happy. "Well unlike Rucas.." I say gesturing at one half of it. "Maya doesn't feel the same way as me." Farkle and Lucas both hit me and Zay laughs.
"What the hell man?!" I say rubbing my arms. "Farkle when did you learn how to punch?" He smirks and says "I have my secrets." We all laugh. "Okay rocky, so you think putting aside my feelings is a mistake?" They shake their heads. "No it's not. If anything I think it would show Maya you truly love her and don't want to lose her or she won't lose you." Farkle says. I lay down again and say "I hope you're right."

I couldn't stop laughing at Josh's story from when he was younger. We were currently sitting at a picnic table in the park with ice cream. "Oh man Cory is going to kill me for telling you." I wipe my tears and say "torturing Matthews with this is going to be so much fun! I'm so glad I have him for another year after this." Josh just looks at me.
"What?" I ask smiling. "Oh nothing just trying to figure out what's got you in a rut?" I playfully roll my eyes and say "please Joshua Matthews I'm not in a rut." He smirks and crosses his arms. "Wow she used my full name." I giggle and kick him under the table.
"Where to next on your tour of things to help me?" He gets up and offers his arm. I smile and take it. "Well that depends Ms. Hart." I look up at him and say "on what?" He smirks again and says "if you're ready to have your butt kicked on the golf course."
He playfully kicks me in the butt and runs ahead. "Oh baby Matthews you're so dead!" I yell chasing him. We get to the mini golf course and I see Farkle and Missy with Lucas and Riley. "Hey kiddies!" Josh shouts to them when we get closer.
Riley's eyes widen and everyone else do too. "Uncle Josh what are you doing here?" She asks giving him a hug. "Came to visit for awhile seen this blond ferret in the bakery thought I beat her in mini golf." He says smiling at me. I feel my cheeks heat up and Riley just looks at me.
"Why don't you guys go in I need to talk to Maya a minute." Riley tells them pulling me back. "Peaches what are you doing?" She ask crossing her arms. I smirk at her and say "what are you talking about I'm about to show josh that losing to a girl is all that is going to happen today."
She raises her eyebrow and says "what about Charlie Maya?" I roll my eyes. "Riles I told you I don't like him like that and we are taking a break from our friendship. Besides he doesn't really feel anything I say that girl he was with today." Her eyes widen and she opens her mouth to say something but doesn't.
"See I'm right he doesn't love me. Let it go Riley. I have." I walk away from her but turn and see her shake her head.

"Zay you could have gone with them you know." Currently he was sulking cause he didn't go on the double date with the couples of the group. "No they need their time together and besides you and I are going to play video games until we can't see anymore."
I roll my eyes and say "oh joy!" He laughs and punches me. "Dude I'm seriously going to have a bruise on my arm. You guys are mean." I say playfully punching him back. He gets up and says "I'm going to grab a soda want one?" I nod my head and set up the video games.
10 minutes later he comes back. "Dude what took so long? I could have got my own soda with how long you were taking." He grinned and said "who is that hottie in your backyard with your sister?" I grimace and said "please tell me you aren't talking about my mom?"
He falls to the floor laughing and says "although she is cute and gives me extra mashed potatoes when I come over for dinner.." I chuck a pillow at him. He dodges it and says "I'm talking about the brunette with the green eyes." I roll my eyes "oh her that's my cousin Angie. She just got into town today she was with me when I picked up Maggie from the bakery."
