"Well it seems you two voluntarily left class and kissed. You guys know what could be the consequences. Lucas, I could bench you rest of the season." Lucas looked so scared. Maya was nervous for him. "As for you, Maya? I could pull your portfolio from the scholarship program and you won't get it." Maya began to cry. Lucas stood up. "No. Bench me as long as you want. She did nothing. She was getting bullied by those girls and left class to escape them. I followed her out to make sure she was okay." Lucas side-eyed Maya. "And because I really care about her and like her a lot." His face turned red. "She is kind, like to her sister, generous, like to me, and passionate, especially with art. So punish me, I was the one that kissed her. But don't hurt her. She's worked too hard for this." Lucas sat down. Maya grabbed his hand and smiled. The principal tapped her foot. "Ugh, I can't bench you the whole season...you can't start on Homecoming and you have afterschool detention for 3 Saturdays. Nothing for you Maya. Just a warning. Okay?" Lucas smiled and nodded. "Now you two can leave." Maya smiled. "Thank you." Lucas and Maya walked back to class. "Maya? Now that we've humiliated ourselves in front of each other, wanna go to the Homecoming dance with me?" Maya laughed. "Of course, Lucas." And the team won the game while Maya wore his jersey. I suddenly got butterflies. And Riley and Zay were voted Homecoming Prince and Princess. As for Novembre and her crew, they were kicked off as captains. Cadbury decided to date some kid she found on the internet named Farkle. "Score." Farkle said as he winked. And on Homecoming dance night, Lucas...and Maya...danced...and it was so romantic. The end.
