Second chapter of season 2! Here we will find out how Topanga plans on winning our beloved and confused Cory's heart. Then how Riley reacts to it. It's pretty funny. A lot of Corpanga, a bit of Riley's new love interest, and just a tiny bit of Shaya (yeah, new ship name). So as you all probably heard by now (hopefully), the website was acting a little weird and wasn't letting anyone access their accounts. I wasn't even finished yet when this started happening so I apologize that this is coming later than usual. Well, I'm only 2 hours behind really. On the bright side, the website it working now!
Again, I can't thank you guys enough for all of the support in the world! You've really helped me grow as a writer, and as I am sitting here in my new Health Care class (I obviously wrote this a few days ago) I can't seen to get out of my mind all of the things I really want to tell you guys. First off, I am at the point in my life where everything I do is starting to become my own responsibility. I am growing as an individual and becoming an adult. I know right? Scary. My parents want me to decide what I want to be in the future. I've heard this a million times, yet I can't make up my mind. Sorry if my chapters in anyway start to become rushed or not as long but I try to manage my time well by stretching out the time I write one chapter. It takes me a few days just to write one, imagine that! But I made a commitment to myself a long time ago, and I'm sticking to it. I've always wanted to read a story like the one I am writing, and so I'm glad to make you feel the joy and excitement I always got from reading fanfics.

Riley's Point of View
Wednesday, September, 7th 1994, Philadelphia
Past time, 8:30 A.M
I've been in high school for one and a half days and already I've been assigned so much homework. Especially in Mr. Feeny's class, but I didn't mind doing it as usual, however, I was worried about Maya.
I stood next to Maya by the lockers as she observed couples holding hands and making out. "So, what do you wanna do after school?" I asked.
No answer...
"Maya?" I waved a hand in front of her face. "Hello? Earth to Maya?" I had to snap my fingers in her face before she could respond.
"What?" she asked, as if she was just waking up from a daze.
I gave her a concerned look. "Is something wrong Maya? You've been staring at those couples for like ten minutes!"
She simply shrugged her shoulders. "You wouldn't understand."
"Of course I would understand! Why won't you tell me?"
Maya looked away. "Because then you'd be mad at me."
I decided to leave that matter alone for a while. If something was going on with Maya, I would eventually find out what it was. If she wouldn't tell me, I would find out some other way. The truth always has a way of coming out...
Dad once told me I was too young to know about love. I remembered one time when Lucas asked me if I had wanted to study over at his house and dad began the interrogation as soon as we got home.
"Mom!" I shouted slamming the front door in frustration. Dad came in and then slammed the door shut as well.
"Mom!" he also shouted.
Mom rolled her eyes. "What's wrong now?"
"Lucas invited me over to his house today and Dad doesn't wanna let me go!"
"Topanga, she's too young to be going over to boys' houses. She should be studying here at home."
Mom chuckled, "But Cory, I used to go to your house all the time. Remember when we were eleven-" Dad cut her off.
"That's not the point. This is different."
I was taken aback by this comment. "Well what's so different between Lucas and me with you guys?"
Dad shook his head. "It's not about the people, it's about the time period."
I furrowed my eyebrows. "What?"
"When I was your age, we did not have cellphones or social media."
I still didn't get it. "So what does that have to do with me going over to Lucas' house?"
Dad put his hand on my shoulder, trying to show comfort of some sort. "A lot of things. Maybe you'll understand some day when you're older."
Maybe I'll understand someday when I'm older... I guess I was older now. I could kind of now see what my dad was talking about when he said the nineties were a different time than what I was growing up in. Okay, so I guess that meant I was also too young to be a princess, because princesses get what they want. At least I wasn't too young or too old to be in the meddling business, especially when it came to fixing up my parents together.
The first bell woke me up from my daze. I locked arms with Maya as we skipped to homeroom, where we were greeted by Cory and Shawn as we sat in our normal seats. Mr. Turner got up from his desk, and just when he was about to start the class, a knock on the door interrupted the beginning of the lecture.
I swiftly turned around in my seat curiously to see who was at the door just as everybody in the class did as well. A blond kid with slightly long hair stood at the door with his head down, looking at a piece of paper with uncertainty. The kid looked up and I immediately recognized him as Ricky, Nurse Millar's assistant from the orphanage! His eyes met mine for a second, and he smiled warmly.
"Uh, is this Mr. Turner's homeroom English class?" Ricky asked.
"If that's what it says on your schedule. Have a seat, anywhere that isn't taken," Mr. Turner responded in his usual cool manner. I looked toward the seat in front of me that was empty. I guess Ricky was looking there too because that's where he sat down. My heart was suddenly pounding as I looked over at Maya, and she gave me a look that said, "Stay cool kid."
Toward the end of the class, Ricky turned to me as I was writing down the homework.
"Hi," he said.
"Hi," I greeted back, smiling. "What are you doing at this school?"
Ricky furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"I thought that- never mind." I quickly caught myself before saying something bad.
Ricky's grin only grew wider. "You thought that because Martha used to come here, and because of what happened to her, none of the other orphans are allowed to come here?" he guessed.
I smiled sheepishly. "Maybe."
"Well, I was glad they accepted me here. It's the closest high school from the orphanage. If they didn't, I would have to walk for at least an hour to Einstein Academy."
Now it was my turn to be confused. "Wait, wouldn't you have to take the bus?"
Ricky chuckled. "Are you kidding? After what happened with little Matilda last year, none of the orphans are allowed to ride the bus. Nurse Millar's rules."
"Oh," I said, feeling a little guilty since I still believed, after almost a whole year, that it was partially my fault. "I'm sorry-"
"Hey Romeo, Juliet. You can mingle with each other after class, okay?" Mr. Turner said, making everybody in the class laugh in the process, all except me, who turned immediately beat red.
I was tempted to stuff myself in my locker from embarrassment after class, but decided otherwise since Ricky followed me to my locker, and opened his locker two lockers down from mine!
"Hey, I guess we're locker neighbors," he said smiling at me again as he got his books out of his locker. "I'm so glad you and Maya were able to find a good home. Martha was insane from the beginning. We found her hysterical after the incident. She kept saying crazy stuff like that you and Maya were from the future."
I chuckled nervously. "That's... crazy. And obviously not true!" I wanted to change the conversation now. "So, what's your next class?"
"History," he responded analyzing his schedule.
"With Mr. Feeny."
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"I have him too."
We walked to History class together. Ricky chose to sit in front of me like in Mr. Turner's class. He turned around in his seat to me.
"Do you have a pencil I can borrow? I left mine in my locker." I handed him my extra pencil I always kept for emergencies. "I'll give this back to you, I promise."
I shrugged. "It's just a pencil, you can keep it if you want."
"Thanks," he smiled once again, making my heart sink.
"What is it about a boy's smile that makes girls melt?" I asked Maya as we stood next to our lockers after lunch. My head was leaning against my locker as Maya concentrated on the couples in the halls.
"I don't know. Do you like Ricky?"
I nervously giggled. "But 'like' is such a strong word. How do I know if I like him?"
"Well, for one thing, he makes you melt. That definitely means you have a crush on him. Now if you 'like' him, that's a whole different story. And also another problem to add to our list."
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "Why would that be a problem for us if I like Ricky?"
Maya gave me a look as if to say, "Really? Haven't we've been over this a million times before?"
"So what you're saying is that I should keep my distance from Ricky, in case we really do get sent back to the future?" I whispered the last part, since I spotted Cory and Shawn coming out of the cafeteria and walking towards us.
"Pretty much," Maya responded.
I sighed in frustration. "How are you so much wiser than me?" Maya simply shrugged with a smile on her face.
"Richard and Cindy?" Cory asked in amazement as a couple started making out right in front of us.
"Very deeply in love," Maya and Shawn said simultaneously. They looked at each other. Shawn smirked while Maya glared at him.
"Since when?" Cory wondered.
"Lunch," Maya and Shawn responded at the same time again.
"Stop saying what I'm saying Hunter!" Maya said, clearly irritated by how in-sync they both were.
"Face it Maya, our minds think alike. Wouldn't we be great together?"
Maya gave him a soured look. "I pity the girl you'll end up with."
"Hey, don't feel sorry for yourself," Shawn joked.
Maya scoffed and stuck her tongue out at him immaturely. I stood in between them like a referee would during a fight at a soccer game. Meanwhile, Cory was oblivious to this whole matter and kept staring in wonder at the couple shoving their tongues down each other's throats.
"What did they eat?"
Shawn shrugged. "I don't know, but it doesn't look like it was enough."
Mr. Feeny spotted us still in the halls and walked up to us. "Don't we have classes to attend?"
I pointed to Richard and Cindy. "Mr. Feeny, shouldn't you break them up or hose them down or something?"
Mr. Feeny smiled sympathetically and shook his head. "Oh, I wouldn't interrupt their tryst, Miss Matthews. They're both A-minus students and happily struck by Cupid."
"So, if they were C-minus students, you wouldn't let them kiss?" Cory asked, cutting into the conversation.
"School policy, don't you know," Mr. Feeny answered sarcastically.
"So I can't kiss?" asked Cory.
"With your grades, Mr. Matthews, you can't even shake hands." Maya and I giggled at Mr. Feeny's smart remark.
"Just watch, Mr. Feeny. By the end of the year, I plan to have an A-plus average and a hickey," Cory said, smirking.
"And I think I know exactly who's going to give him that hickey," I whispered in Maya's ear discreetly, referring to of course, Topanga.
"Dare to dream, Mr. Matthews." A smug look appeared on Mr. Feeny's face before he left.
"Holy cow!" Cory said, which made me pay attention to what he was so amazed about. Another couple across the room started making out. "Jerry and Shoshanna?"
Shawn nodded. "Deeply."
"Has the whole world paired off?" Cory wondered.
"Pretty much." his best friend answered.
"Is there a list posted somewhere where I find out what girl's been assigned to me?"
"You want a girlfriend?" Maya smirked.
"No, not a girlfriend," Cory quickly corrected. "Just a girl who's like a friend, but not a girlfriend."
A girl with shiny blonde hair walked past us. Shawn nodded towards her way. "How about her? How about the new girl?"
"Absolutely not!" I said. "Cory doesn't want just any random girl, right... Cor?" I asked awkwardly, using Shawn's nickname for him.
Cory sighed. "Look, I want someone I know, someone who knows me, someone who we know each other, someone like, uh..." Cory looked up just in time to see Topanga walking down the stairs. "Topanga! Topanga, my honey. May I call you honey?"
"No." Topanga answered. Okay, I wasn't expecting that...
Cory smirked. "Topanga, my girl... my friend... my girly friend. Believe me, I don't want this any more than you do, but everybody around here is pairing off, and I think you and I should spare ourselves a lot of uncoolness and walk through life together."
"This is it!" I whispered, nudging Maya. "This is when my parents finally get together."
"Cory, my dear little butthead May I call you butthead?" Topanga mocked.
"Sure."
"I can't walk through life with you."
"What?" I said, maybe sounding a little too loud because the whole hallway turned their attention toward me, including my parents.
"Nothing to see here," Maya said, and everybody turned back to their own conversations.
"Is there someone else?" Cory asked.
"There's everybody else," Topanga said, and I could feel my heart tearing apart slowly inside.
"Why? We're already standing together, and we look great," Cory said, swinging his arm around Topanga and smiling cheerfully. Topanga wasn't looking too happy.
"Yep! You look absolutely cute together! Like those miniature people on top of the wedding cake. You're so meant to be together forever. Right Maya?" I turned to give Maya a pleading look.
Maya clutched her teeth together. "Way to be discreet Riley."
"Cory," Topanga said, taking Cory's arm off of her shoulder. "When guys and girls go out, first they fall passionately in love. Then, after a week, they hate each other. So for one great passionate week, we'd lose a friendship that could last a lifetime."
Cory smiled. "I'm in if you are."
"Cory, don't worry," Topanga said, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure there's someone out there for you." Then, to my despair, she walked away.
"Gimme a name!" Cory shouted out to her. Then he turned and smiled at me.
"I've gotta go," Maya said, quickly leaving me with Cory and Shawn.
"Please don't look at me Cory. There is a girl out there for you, and she just rejected you," I said, before following Maya down the halls. "I have to find out why my mom rejected my dad. I mean, she told us she liked him, right? I didn't just imagine that, right Maya?"
Maya stopped in mid-tracks. "Of course you didn't Riley. But your parents have to come together naturally. You can't force eternal love together."
"Wow." I stared at her in amazement. "I never knew you were so wise Maya."
She shrugged her shoulders like it was no big deal. "I've been around Feeny for too long. But back to the point, you really got to let your parents discover their own feelings for each other."
"How long have you known me Maya? Since forever? When have I not tried to fix things?"
"You're right. I can't remember when you haven't tried to fix things. But I think it's time you find another hobby, please," she begged.
"Why Maya? What if this master plan of mine works?"
"Because... you'll only be causing more trouble for all of us."
Okay, so Maya was acting really weird. And that was starting to worry me. Why wouldn't she want me to put my parents together? She must know something's wrong, well I was going to find out from Topanga anyway.
Our next class after lunch was Health. Apparently our the teacher was sick, which was ironic. A curly, tall, brunette woman walked into the classroom. Shawn couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Wow. That is no substitute. That is the real thing," he said, moving himself to the front of the classroom, sitting directly in front of the substitute teacher.
"Good afternoon, class. I'm Miss Kelly, and I'll be filling in for Mr. Dubin for the next few days," she introduced herself. Shawn spontaneously stood up.
"On behalf of the entire class, I'd like to say stay as long as you like," he smiled charmingly at her. I could hear Maya scoff behind me.
Miss Kelly seemed to be unimpressed by Shawn's suddenly welcoming, but smiled politely anyway. She took out a folder and read off the lesson plan. "Now, right now, you seem to be covering-"
"CPR, and I'm today's dummy," Shawn said.
"Pssh," Maya scoffed. "Please, my pet ferret can flirt better than you Hunter." The classroom roared in laughter. Hey, even I had to laugh. Shawn turned beat red.
Miss Kelly pretended like she didn't hear that comment from Maya. "No, actually, we seem to be up to human reproduction, which I hope we can discuss in a mature fashion," she looked directly at Shawn. The class snickered. To block out any unnecessary stuff, Shawn just pretended to be older and told Miss Kelly that he was a cop, which she obviously didn't believe.
"All right, who can tell us the name of the organ where the eggs are stored? Officer?" Miss Kelly asked Shawn.
Shawn smirked. "Oh, sorry, Miss Kelly. I don't have that stuff. I can name the stuff I have... Or at least what I call them."
Miss Kelly pointed to me. "All right, the name of the place where the eggs are stored."
"Uh, what are the gonads?" I answered, obviously unsure.
"No, sorry sweetie. I was looking for, what are the ovaries?"
"Oh, the- oh yeah, I always mix those two up," I lied.
Miss Kelly pointed to Cory. "Can you tell us anything about ovulation or how pregnancy occurs?"
Then Cory began to ramble off. "Well, the man's got the sperm, and the woman's got the egg. Now, once a month, an egg slides down the Philippine tube towards the uterus. The first sperm to reach the egg wins, it gets a medal, it's born, you name him Cory, you push him out the door, and nothing makes sense for the rest of his life."
Miss Kelly smiled. "Congratulations. You seem to have a thorough understanding of the life cycle."
Cory smiled back. "Hey, I live it."
"Any questions?" Miss Kelly asked the class. Cory put up his hand. "Yes?"
He motioned for her to get closer, and then I caught him whispering, "How do you get a girl to say hi?"
Now I really had something to worry about.
After class, Cory, Shawn, and I were hanging around our lockers when a couple past by us. And as usual, Cory just had to stare in awe. "Michael and Lisa Marie?"
Shawn nodded his head. "Looks like it."
"Since when?"
"Just now. That was it."
Cory raised an eyebrow. "What, that?"
Shawn nodded. "Yeah. You saw it happen."
Cory threw his hands in the air in defeat. "I can't believe it. I saw it happen, and I still don't know how it happens."
Shawn put a hand on his best friend's shoulder. "Stop obsessing, man. You're gonna pop a lobe."
"I'm the only one who doesn't know how it's done."
"Why do you care so much about having a girlfriend Cory? You never seemed to care before? I mean, remember when Topanga came over to your house to work on that environment assignment and you didn't want her to?" I asked. Cory just looked at me strangely.
"I was eleven then. I've grown. I've matured."
"Well, you've certainly aged a year, but let's not exaggerate with mature." Cory agreed.
Shawn nudged Cory. "Listen, I think I found something that kind of works."
"What?" asked Cory, eagerly.
"This," Shawn said, jerking his head back, and in the process, flipping his hair back as well.
"That's not going to work-" I was about to say before being interrupted by a girl passing by.
"Hi, Shawn," she giggled and waved at Shawn. He waved back.
"Wow. From across the hall," Cory said, seemingly impressed by his best friend's super power.
"Yep, I got a 30-foot range," Shawn bragged.
"What, you just jerk your head?" I asked.
"Watch again young ones. I'm still young enough, I can do this twice in a row," he said flipping his hair back with his hand just as Maya passed by. She came directly toward Shawn as he did that.
"Shawn, it's so strange. I was just thinking about you," she said smiling flirtatiously. My jaw completely dropped. What was happening here?!
Shawn's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Really? You really mean that?" he asked.
"No," Maya answered flatly. "But those girls over there are thinking about you." Maya pointed to a bunch of desperate girls right by the water fountain who immediately smiled, waved, and winked right when Shawn turned to look at them. "They payed me five bucks each just so that I can introduce you to them. Isn't that great? I mean we can like go on a business together."
Shawn smirked, seemingly unconvinced. "So you're not thinking about me at all?"
"Well now I am."
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking... that your super power doesn't work on me. Now let's go!" she said, dragging Shawn to the desperate girls.
Cory started trying Shawn's method, which may have looked like he was hurting himself because he was trying too hard to make his curly hair move. "Cory, what is it?" Topanga asked, running toward Cory with a concerned look on her face.
"You were just drawn to me, weren't you?"
"No, I thought you had head lice. Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm great," Cory answered, although he had a disappointed look on his face.
"Oh, good," Topanga said, flipping her waist-length hair back over her shoulder.
"Hi, Topanga. I was just thinking about you," a random boy said walking up to Topanga. She locked arms with him, and before they were about to leave, I stood in front of them.
"Wait, Topanga. Um, before you go off skipping happily into the sunset with this boy who nobody's ever seen before, I need to talk to you. It's about that thing you told Maya and me that you told us to promise never to tell Cory because, well, it's about him." Yeah, being discreet was not one of my strong points. But at least that got her attention.
"Robert, I'll see you later okay?" Topanga said to the boy.
He just shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever," and then walked away. Topanga and I took a walk down the hallway, kind of like how Maya and I did before.
"So, what do you need to ask me about Cory?" Topanga asked.
"Well, I just wanted to know why you dumped him. I mean, he clearly likes you. He literally asked you to walk through life together with him! Why didn't you accept?"
Topanga stopped in her tracks and looked down at the floor. She sighed before looking up to meet my eyes, "Maya thought it would be best if I played hard-to-get. You know, guys like Cory like girls like that."
My mouth hung open. "Are you kidding? Guys like Cory like girls like you Topanga. If you don't tell him you like him, everything is going to change. He's going to find another girl to date."
Topanga pointed to a nervous Cory seemingly asking out the new girl, Wendy. "Looks like he already did," she said sadly. "Thanks for trying to help Riley, but maybe it was not meant to be."
"Of course it was meant to be! How do you know that he's asking her out? Maybe she's asking him directions to her classroom, I mean she is a new student after all."
I spoke too soon, because Wendy smiled and wrote down her number on a piece of paper, handed it to Cory, then pecked him on the cheek. I winced.
"It's alright, I'll get over it Riley."
"But you can't! How did you guess he was asking her out?" I asked.
Topanga shrugged. "Woman's Network, I guess. You probably won't understand. I'll explain it to you later," she reassured. I blocked out the rest Topanga was saying to me, because all I could think was, I'm going to kill Maya.
I couldn't find Maya all day. She skipped the rest of the classes and so I thought I had no choice but to wait until she'd come home. Big mistake, because I ended up falling asleep at my curfew which was at eight o'clock, so I didn't get a chance to talk to Maya until I woke up in the morning.
"Maya? We need to talk?" I said, trying to shake Maya awake.
"Mmm, five more minutes Mom," moaned Maya.
"Maya! You're not at home with your mother. You're with me right now. Please stop pretending you're actually asleep. I can tell when you're faking it." Maya groaned and opened her eyes.
"Listen Riles, before you say anything, I just want you to know that I did everything I did because I wanted to help."
"So you went behind my back and told my mom to reject my dad? Maya, this could have been our one chance to get my parents together. Maybe if they would have gotten together, it would have helped us get back to the future or something like that."
Maya's eyes widened. "Do you think that would have worked?"
I sat on my bed, slumped. "Well now we'll never know."
"What do you mean?"
"Cory's dating the new girl Wendy. If it all goes well, she can be my new mom!"
Maya sat down next to me and hugged me. "Riley, you know how much I love you, but if you don't let your parents work this out, nothing will ever get accomplished."
I shook my head and scoffed. "Easy for you to say."
I was sitting on the doorstep of Mr. Feeny's garden on a Friday night with my elbows on my lap, my chin resting on my hands, as I waited for Cory to come back from his date. In the meantime, I thought about everything that was going on, especially in the last couple of days. I still couldn't believe my mom rejected my dad, and the fact that I was waiting for my dad to come back from his date to ask him how it went, was even more messed up.
In only mere days, it would be a whole year since the last time I saw my real parents. The ones who told me what to do all the time, fed, and clothed me. The Cory and Topanga my age were not my parents. They were my friends. It was almost hard to believe how much time I'd already spent away from home. I almost couldn't remember why I had gotten so upset with them. It was a pointless fight really, now that I thought long and hard about it. All that I was sure of now, was that I really missed them.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure walking into the patio. I looked up to see it was Ricky.
"Hi," I greeted in surprise, standing up from the doorstep. "How'd you know where I live?"
And there it was, Ricky's smile. "Nurse Millar told me. I came to drop off your pencil," he said, sticking out his arm to hand me back my pencil. I took it from his hand, my hand slightly brushing against his.
I had a cheeky grin on my face. "You didn't have to do that."
"I know. I just wanted to see you. Are you waiting for somebody?"
I looked around and shrugged. "Uh, not really I guess. Just came out here to think."
He nodded understandingly. "Well, thinking's always good... um, so I'll see you around Riley." Ricky said, beginning to walk back out into the street. Then he paused, turned around, and made his way back to me. "Riley?"
"Yeah?" I asked, kind of hoping he would do what I hoped he was thinking.
"Thanks for the pencil."
"Oh," I said, feeling a little disappointed. "No problem."
Ricky looked down at his shoes. "It's funny what Mr. Turner called us today, Romeo and Juliet."
I looked down at my own shoes too and blushed. "Oh yeah. Mr. Turner sure loves his Shakespeare. It's nonsense. You'll get used to it."
Ricky smiled sheepishly. "I don't think it's nonsense. Goodnight Riley," he said, leaning over and gently planted a kiss on my cheek. His eyes slightly widened. So did mine, and before I could say anything, he quickly walked away. I was now flustered. Did that just really happen? Did he really kiss me?
"Hey Riley. What are you doing outside?" Cory asked, as he came into the patio the same way Ricky did. It took me a few seconds to regain myself before I could answer.
"Uh, nothing. So, how was your date?"
"I had a nice time," Cory responded, smiling.
"Great," I lied. "Were you nervous?"
"Yep, and I nodded a lot. We're going out again soon."
"Perfect," I lied again. Oh no.
I went upstairs to my room and saw Maya was lying on her bed twirling her thumbs.
"Well thanks to you, my dad's probably going to get married to Wendy," I said sarcastically propping myself onto my bed. Mr. Feeny was downstairs making dinner so he couldn't hear us.
"Well hello to you too Riles," Maya said. "Are you ever going to forgive me? I was just trying to help."
I nodded. "Yeah, maybe someday Maya, when my parents start dating, if they do thanks to you."
Maya rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Seriously? Of course they're going to get together. They're your parents. They're Cory and Topanga." She paused and stared at me suspiciously. "Wait, did Ricky come by?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"Well first off, you have that lovey-dovey look you only had when you were around Lucas and second, you're holding the pencil you let him borrow in History."
"Oh," I said, putting the pencil on top of my desk, chuckling awkwardly. "You're good."
"That's what makes me one of the greatest. Now please tell me there's nothing going on between you too."
I scoffed nervously. "Pssh, nothing's going on between Ricky and me. That's crazy."
Maya gave me a serious look. "You promise? Nothing happened when he came over?"
I tried my hardest to give her a straight face. "I promise. Nothing happened," I lied. Yes, I know. I had just lied to my best friend about getting my first kiss. I was really starting to like Ricky. If we weren't going back to the future, I wanted to at least live a normal life. That wasn't so bad, right?
Then why was I feeling so awful?
Author's Note: I put up a schedule on my profile I made during school hours on my first day of semester 2 because there was a big snowstorm where I am from and because they never cancel school even when half of the students aren't able to come to school, I had nothing better to do than to spend my time in the library making up a schedule for all of my updates. My next round of exams are in June and I know I'll have four independent study units which are worth 10% of my final marks for each class which I know I'll need a lot of time to do that so I'll probably take a month-long hiatus in June too. But don't worry, we still have 17 chapters left to go! (not including this one of course). I think I'm getting better at managing my schedule. Also, I have to read The Great Gatsby for English class. Has anybody read it before? lol. Oh right, and thanks for the 400 REVIEWS! I also wanted to make it clear that if you review my story, it has to be related to my story. Just sayin'.
I'm already writing scenes for the last chapter of season 2. Crazy right? Not that I'm done writing the rest of the season, but ideas started popping into my head that I just couldn't help but write down! You guys are sure in for a treat! It'll be one of the most emotional chapters of the story for sure! Whelp, see you all next week with Maya's POV!
P.S- Don't forget to check out my Q&A Tumblr blogs linked on my profile for this chapter! One more thing, can you believe Angela and Ghost Chet are coming back in season 2? I am soooo EXCITED!
