Walk Me Home
Bonus 13: Sadie Hawkins
Riley had gotten away with her whole "Let's do the pep rally in reverse for Sadie Hawkins" thing. She had written a very persuasive proposal and presented it with a cool, calm demeanor that broke no argument, and she the cheerleaders threw their weight behind her.
The Student Government didn't know what hit them when they encountered doe-eyed, freshman Riley Matthews, but the school's paper described the whole thing as "being bulldozed by a puppy avalanche".
In the end, the cheerleaders got what they wanted, and so, Maya found herself decorating a locker-this time Riley's-with a theme of kittens and bunnies.
"What I don't get is why I have to do all the work...?"
"To even things out, Riley said, resting against the locker next to her own. "You did Lucas' locker and now you do mine. Lucas and I deserve the same amount of attention from you. I'm warning you now, Maya Hart, we are NOT going to be those girls who don't have time for each other when they get a boyfriend"
Maya looked up at Riley, completely lost. "Okay?" She said nervously.
Riley smiled and nodded. "Besides, Lucas sucks at crafts, anyway."
"I still don't get how it's fair when I'm doing all the work," Maya grumbled as Lucas walked behind her.
"Because I was told to find another way to show appreciation," Lucas said with a smile, having just caught the tail end of the conversation. "All right, Riley." He held out a take-out cup caddy with three frosty drinks on it. "A non-fat, chocaccino with a large dollop of whipped cream and sprinkles."
"Thank you," Riley said, taking her drink.
"Maya, strawberry milkshake, small dollop of whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles."
"Thanks," Maya said, taking the cup and taking a sip. "Hey, you went all the way to our diner for these?" She was touched that he had not only snuck out of school for these, but that he had gone such a long way when there was a coffee place across the street from the school.
Lucas shrugged. "It's the one you like best," He said, holding out the caddy so she could put it back and start packing her art supplies.
Riley looked from one to the other, then she put an arm around Lucas. "Aren't we lucky? we get the best artist in school to decorate our lockers."
"Luckiest ever," Lucas agreed, taking a sip of his Oreo Milkshake, knowing it was the only one he would get.
"Is that...?"
"Oreo. Yes. And, yes, we can switch." Lucas held his milkshake out to her.
"Thanks, Sundance," Maya said happily as she shouldered her bag.
"Anytime," Lucas said, taking her strawberry milkshake. "I should head over to the gym; my team is in charge of the opening number."
Riley smiled with glee. All the boys' sport teams were putting on a dance and cheer numbers for the girls. "I'll come with, I have to change into my uniform."
"I'll put this in my locker and catch up," Maya said.
"Don't forget the t-shirt from last time-"
"So we all match, I know," Maya said, walking backward toward her locker.
Lucas and Riley started to walk to the gym, trying to finish their drinks before getting there.
"Do you even like strawberries?" Riley asked.
"Maya does," Lucas answered. "I don't mind."
"She had, like, one sip. Why don't you guys just get two Oreo milkshakes?"
"You know, I've never asked her."
"You guys are so weird," Riley said, parting ways in front of the girl's locker room entrance.
