Chapter 3: Can't Blame a Girl for Trying

Maya's POV

It was 1:30 and I had less than two hour to get ready and be at school for the talent show and Riley was helping me pick out an outfit.

"How is this?" Riley said Laying out a dark blue dress and a black belt to go around my waist to match my black leather boots

"Perfect, although I was planning on wearing my combat boots." I said questioning Riley's shoe choice

"NO, you can't wear combat boots for a performance; you have to look professional at least a little bit!" Riley said pointing at the combat boots in the closet

"Riles we're sophomores in high school the talent show itself is dumb." I said with a straight face

"Ok well get dressed Lucas will be here soon to pick us up soon so we can go so hurry, in the meantime I'm gonna go downstairs to make sure that your parents are coming later on." Ever since my mom and Shawn got married it has been so nice we were able to move to a bigger apartment closer to Riley's apartment, although Shawn hasn't been more protective over me and it can get really annoying when I try and go out with Zay Riley Lucas and Farkle.

"Ok I'll be down in a few!" I replied

Riley's POV

Downstairs I talked to Katy and Shawn and asked if they would be there before the Talent Show starts.

"Yes Riley we will be there don't worry are you and your family coming?" Shawn reassuringly replied

"Yeah they will be there a little bit later" I explained

"Ok, are you excited for you and Riley and your birthday next month?" Katy asked

"Oh yes, very I'm so excited because school will be over the week after finally!" Riley exclaimed

"Good, because Cory and I are going to try and make the best it can be after all your turning 17 though it will be a week late for you since your birthdays are little further apart." Shawn replied

"Yeah, well I'm still excited!"

"Good and you shou…" Katy said getting cut off by a knock at the door.

"Oh I think that's Lucas I'll get it." Riley said walking over to open the door

"Hey Lucas thanks for picking us up I'm gonna go get Maya!" Riley said gesturing Lucas in and walking upstairs to get Maya.

Lucas POV

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Hunter" Lucas said

"Hi Lucas and call us by our first name" Katy said looking at Shawn

Maya and Riley walked down the stairs and in Maya's hand was her guitar.

"WOW, Maya you look good, and Riley got you out of your combat boots finally!" I joked

"Oh be quiet Ranger Rick." Maya said with a disgusted look in face

"Wow, your still on that Maya he has been here for like three years or so now" Shawn said

"Yeah, well we should go now bye Shawn bye Katy." I said trying to get out of there fast

"Yeah we probably should be going now!" Riley said glancing at clock that read 2:24pm

"Ok bye mom, bye dad, see you there." Maya said walking out the door

"Bye baby girl, see you there" Katy said

"Bye kiddo." Shawn said closing the door behind them

-TIME SKIP TO MAYA'S PERFORMANCE-

Maya's POV

I heard the student body president Jocelyn announce that I was up.

"Now For Maya Hart singing her song 'can't Blame a Girl for Trying'"

I walked onto the stage and took a seat on the stool in front of the microphone and put my guitar on my lap. I looked around the auditorium and saw my mom and dad sitting next to Cory and Topanga and of course Shawn was sitting next to Cory, I then looked and saw Riley sitting with Lucas Farkle and Zay, and Then I looked at Auggie who I then saw was sitting next to Josh. I froze, I couldn't think and then I realized I had to play the song so I started playing my guitar.

Josh's POV

I was happy to be there and I watched as Maya started to play and sang. I listened intently to her beautiful voice I had never heard before.

"Here I am again, the same old situation

Why does the guy thing have to be so complicated?

I should've played it cool instead I've made a fool

Oh the things I do

'Cause I'm young, and I'm dumb

I do stupid things when it comes to love

And even if I always end up crying

Well, you can't blame a girl for trying

No, you can't blame a girl for trying"

Soon the song was over and everyone started to clap while Maya ran off stage motioning for Riley to come with her, as Riley passed me I couldn't help but notice the quick glance Riley gave to me. As soon as she passed I realized that the song was about Maya's feelings for me and I couldn't help but Smile from ear to ear.

Maya's POV

"RILEY! YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HIM COMING, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL!" I shouted and Riley

"I'm sorry but he loved it, I had to get him to come!" Riley replied to me

"Oh my gosh I'm humiliated if finds out that the song was for him I'm gonna kill you!" I shouted at her face

"Trust me you'll thank me!" Riley said keeping calm

"No I will nev…" I shouted being interrupted by the voice of the one and only

"Hey Maya" Josh said stopping Maya from shouting

"J-Josh wh-whats up" I said stuttering

"I really liked the song" Josh said looking me in the eyes

"I'll be at my seat" Riley said

"I'll go too" I said looking at the ground

"No, stay" Josh said grabbing my wrist "Was that song about me?"

"What no why" I said freezing in my steps

"Maya I know it was, and I'm so sorry I never knew that I made you feel that way" Josh said sincerely

"I don't what to say" I replied turning around

"Don't say anything" Josh said as he kissed my forehead and walked back to his seat

I started to blush and walked back to my seat that Zay had saved for me, and by the time the Talent Show was over I just wanted to go to my room and stuff my face in a pillow. When I got home with my parents I went to my room and texted Zay Farkle Lucas and Riley to come over. We sat and talked about what happened for hours although I left out the part about the kiss. It was now 1:00am and they all had to go home so Lucas drove them home, I lay in my bed and by 1:30 I saw someone outside my window and I then heard a knock at the window and I went to open and saw that it was…
