Riley looked at Maya and said, "No Maya. I promise it was just the alcohol that made this happen." Maya sighed in relief as she said, "Good. We agree. It was just the alcohol. I mean... it's not like I have any feelings of..." Riley cut off Maya and said, "Of course not. And I definitely don't." Maya then simply said, "Okay. So it's settled. We just had a momentary lapse of judgment. There's no romantic feelings between us." Riley quickly then said, "Of course. Just friendship. Only friendship. Nothing but friendship. So... how about we get dressed and head out of here."
A few days later at the cafe Riley's mom owned, Riley walked in and saw Lucas sitting by himself. Lucas then stood up when he saw Riley as he said, "Hey Riley." Riley made a little smile and said, "Hey." Riley then moved towards Lucas and gave him a quick peck on the lips. The two teens that sat in front of each other as Lucas said, "First Riley... I'm sorry things went down the way they did last time we talked. I didn't give you the dream prom you were hoping for and..." Riley then cut Lucas off and said, "Lucas... lets just pretend nothing bad happened between us. Because nothing you say or miss will cause me to stop loving you." Riley then leaned over and kissed Lucas on the lips again, just as Maya walked into the cafe. As Maya saw the two kiss, her face suddenly turned red. Then Lucas turned to look at Maya as he said, "So what did you two do last night for prom?" Riley and Maya suddenly looked nervous as Riley said, "Why do you ask? What did you hear?" Lucas then said, "Nothing. Just wanted to make sure you had a fun evening last night." Maya then said, "Oh, it was nothing eventful. Nothing worth talking about. Just... plain old ordinary girl stuff." A confused looking Lucas said, "Well... okay."
Later that afternoon Maya was sitting at an outdoor lunch table with Josh. As the ate, Josh looked at Maya as he said, "So Maya... look. I know we have a three year age difference but... even though we can't be official with everyone yet... maybe now's the time I finally take you to my place so we can get a little comfortable and..." Maya then interrupted Josh and said, "Josh, lets just skip the pretense. Is this conversation leading up to us having sex?" Josh then said, "Well... yes. Maya, I... I love you. And I want to lose my virginity to you. But I'll only do it if you want to. If you have any doubts, or if there is anyone else in your life you may like, just say you don't want to do it for now, and there will be no hard feelings." Maya then noticed Riley walking by them and starred at her for a moment. Then Maya turned to look back at Josh as she said, "Josh, I..."
