As you can probably tell, this isn't going to end like Girl Meets Mr. Squirrels. I'm going to link this story to the plotlines of Girl Meets First Date, Girl Meets Semi Formal, and other episodes. Please follow, favourite, and COMMENT!
"Well, it's not broken, but you did tear a ligament." The doctor shows us a scan of Maya's ankle. I grimace as he points at the torn ligament. It looks nasty. Maya bites her lip and looks down at her ankle, which had been wrapped up by the doctor.
"How long will I be in this?" she asks, gesturing at the wraps.
"Six weeks should do it. No sports or running during that stage. The two weeks after that, it is advisable to use an ankle guard when walking. And after that, you should wear the ankle guard if you are doing any running or sports." he replies. Maya nodssilently.
Katy drops us at the sidewalk before going to park the car. Maya tests out the crutches she was given.
"Hoo-kay..." she mutters, putting her weight on her right leg. She plants the crutches on the gravel, and tries going forward. She immediately trips and falls. I lunge forward to help her up. She puts a hand up. "No. No, I can do it." she says, adetermined
light entering her eye. She manages to hobble into the house without tripping or needing my help. There was a long silence.
"You'd better go," she finally says. "Not that I don't want you here," she adds, seeing the look on my face. "We've got school tomorrow."
"Oh. Well...I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then."
"See you, Huckleberry." Maya grins. I'm gone before Katy shows up. Tomorrow's going to be such a mess.
Maya and Riley are still fighting. Does this mean our friend group will be split into two? And if it does, whose side will I join? Maya jumps to my mind immediately. She's hurting because of Riley, and I need to be there for her. Someone nneed tomakeher
laugh and smile and call meHuckleberry and Ranger Rick. Nonsense, a little voice snaps at me. Riley fell into my lap on the subway, not Maya. Fate wanted us to be together, and joining Riley's side is the best way to win her over.
By the time I reach my house, my brain is exhausted from going back and forth. Two things stand out in my mind; Maya's smile for her friend when Riley landed in my lap, and the ghost of her kiss on my cheek.
