Maya P.O.V.
I open the car door and throw my book bag into the back seat, "Thanks for the ride."
Hanna gives me a gracious smile, "It's cool."
My phone starts to buzz on the dash, and Hanna quickly picks it up.
"Who is Lindsey", she asks out of pure curiosity.
I quickly grabbed my phone, "Uh, nobody."
Hanna gives me a side glance, "If she is nobody, why'd she call 7 times?"
I don't answer, because I see Emily walk out of her house. She waves to Hanna but ignores me completely, as if being rejected wasn't bad enough.
Hanna breaks the silence, "She told me."
"Told you what", I ask, already knowing the answer.
She looks at me, "I know you kissed Emily. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. The awkward spell will die down before you know it."
My stomach clenched tightly.
"I hope so", I manage to make out.
I put my hand on my stomach, hoping I can somewhat make the pain go away. I felt numb, because I felt like I was given a sign by Emily. I thought she wanted me to kiss her, I had no idea she was going to tell anyone. A blush crept onto my face out of pure embarrassment.
Hanna puts her hand on my shoulder, "It's okay, you know? You can't help who you like."
I nod, trying to make things less awkward. Hanna puts the car into drive, and most of the ride to school was in silence. I didn't have much to say, because the only thing on my mind was Emily.
The car stops, and I rush out of it. The faster I am away from Hanna, the sooner the knots in my stomach will unclench.
"Wait", Hanna shouts to me.
Great, she caught me.
"I have this friend, who you might like. If you're interested meet me after school", Hanna says with a wink.
"Alright", I say awkwardly.
We say our goodbye's and head in separate directions. My phone buzzes a few more times, and I realize Lindsey called another 3 times. This time she left a few texts along with the calls.
Maya, I know things didn't go as planned, but please get back to me. –L
The knot in my stomach turned into churning, and I feel like I am going to be sick. The girl who ruined my life wants back into it, and I can't help but be curious.
Emily P.O.V.
"I took care of your problem", Hanna says leaning up against my locker.
I look at her curiously, "What do you mean?"
She looks down at her feet, "I sort of might have set Maya up on a date."
The blood rushes to my face, "With who?"
"I was thinking about asking Spencer if she was interested", Hanna says nonchalantly.
My jaw drops open, "Spencer? Why would Spencer be interested?"
"The girl couldn't shut up about how great Maya was the day she met her", Hanna says smiling.
"I don't think Spencer likes girls, Hanna", I say annoyed.
Hanna's smile disappears, "What's your deal, Em? You said you couldn't even look at her, and now you are acting like you are interested."
I shut my locker hard, "I'm not interested. I just don't think Spencer is either."
"I'm going to ask anyway. Either way, they can hang out as friends if Spencer isn't into it", Hanna says grabbing a few books out of her locker.
My stomach feels like it is boiling, like lava ready to erupt out of a volcano. Spencer? This has got to be a joke.
"Are you going to ask her now", I question.
Hanna ponders this for a second, "Why not? She is right over there."
My eyes follow Hanna's, and I see Spencer sitting at the table talking to Aria.
I nod, "I'll go with you."
At least I will get to be somewhat humored when Spencer is as shocked as I am by Hanna wanting to set her up with Maya.
"Spencer", Hanna sings out.
Spencer looks up from Aria and smiles, "Yes?"
"I have a question that you might think is totally ridiculous", Hanna says laughing.
Aria looks over at me curiously, and I just shrug my shoulders.
"Would you be interested in going on a date with Maya", Hanna questions with a sly grin.
Aria doesn't hide her amusement by the question, a few muffled giggles. I don't say anything, the anger still boiled. Spencer didn't answer right away, she actually seemed like she was thinking about it.
"Sure", Spencer said, causing the entire table to go silent.
The anger turns into an eruption, but I suppress it. I could feel my face getting hot, but I didn't mind it. I was jealous, and it made me feel nuts. I don't like Maya, I can't like Maya.
Aria looks over at me, "Are you okay, Em?"
I just nod and grab my books, "I'll see you guys later."
They all wave, and Hanna starts to make plans for this date between Maya and Spencer.
The walk to the bathroom isn't far, but I start to pick up my pace.
"Shit, I didn't mean to run into you", I say as I pick up my books.
The person doesn't answer.
"Are you okay", I question before looking up.
Once again, no answer. I look up, and I see Maya kneeled on the ground picking up her books. I quickly stand, trying not to make a scene.
"Here", Maya says handing me my book.
"Thanks", I say as our hands touched for a brief second.
The anger I felt disappeared, I no longer felt like I was going to erupt. Before I can say anything, Maya turns away, and I feel empty. I don't feel anger, but I also feel like something is missing.
Maya P.O.V.
"Maya", Hanna shouts as I walk towards her car.
I wave with a smile, "Hey."
"I found the perfect person", Hanna says, excitement evident in her voice.
Completely forgetting Hanna was trying to set me up on a date, "What?"
Spencer walks out from behind the car, "Hey."
My confusion turns to interest, "Hey."
Hanna speaks up, "I thought you two would be perfect for each other. You both have so much in common."
Spencer walks over to me and whispers, "I can't believe she is trying to play match maker."
I laugh, "I didn't realize you were interested in girls."
Spencer looks at me, "I like who I like."
Emily P.O.V.
The interaction between Spencer and Maya seems friendly, they are just friends. Jealousy runs through my body, and it won't go away. The jealousy soon turns to hurt, and I am left wondering if I could ever admit to myself and Maya that I like her.
The end. I feel like a lot of people aren't going to like making Spencer and Maya happen, but I thought it'd be interesting. Don't worry, this is still completely a Maya and Emily story.
