"Huckleberry." Maya tipped her imaginary hat to the former Texan as she passed him in the hall.
"Short stack." He replied with a sour face. She scowled right back at him. Turning his head to his girlfriend, he changes his face into that of an angel. "I'll catch you later, Riles."
Riley let out a giddy laugh. "Hahaha okay. See you then." Maya rolled her eyes. "Why do you two hate each other so much?" Riley frowned after watching the events transpire.
"Oh, we don't. This is just how we get along." Maya explained.
"I wish you two would get along better. My best friend and my boyfriend. Whatever happened to you guys anyway? You guys used to be so much closer."
"Nothing, Riles. Don't worry about it." But as Riley carried on with her normal colloquialisms, Maya started the path down memory lane of exactly how the boy and her got to this point.
