Just a quick filler chapter. I'm going to update "what happened" tomorrow. *Fist bump*
The game went on for longer than expected, but it was still fun nontheless. Shawn ended up going bankrupt and went to jail three more times. He pouted about that, which the girls found funny.
Riley also went bankrupt, being that she was one of those players who bought everything. So it was all down to Cory and Maya. Riley was next to Maya, cheering her on.
Maya was laughing because even though it was just a game, Riley was still so excited about it. They continued to play, and eventually, Cory was the one on top.
"Yes!" Cory yelled, high-fiving Shawn.
Maya was a little disappointed, but she was still happy to just be with people she cared about.
Shawn obviously didn't like being last, but he was with some of his favorite people, and that was an award in itself.
Riley was happy to be with her family, and yes, that includes Maya. She leaned over and lovingly kissed her on the cheek, for no reason in particular; just because she wanted to.
Maya smiled. She loves receiving those random acts of affection. After the game, the group just sat there for a bit in a comfortable silence.
Riley was leaning against Maya's shoulder, while Cory had arm around Shawn's shoulder in some kind of bro-hug, a seemingly permanant crooked smile plastered on his face. Riley was going to say something about that, but decided not to. 'Boys will be boys,' she thought to herself.
Finally Cory spoke: "So, who's ready for this adventure to continue?"
Riley and Maya shot up. "Me!"
Shawn mimicked them and shouted, "Me too!" which made the girls laugh.
Cory smiled. "Well then, let's go."
Riley immediately grabbed Maya's hand and ran out the door, Maya laughed the whole time.
Cory and Shawn smiled at each other, then followed them out. Adventure still awaits for these four.
