Lucas

The next morning, I awoke after the best sleep I've had in a long time. Riley was in my arms, and I felt like I was on top of the world. But alas, today is Friday, and we need to go to school. Yet, I feel so happy to know that Mr. Matthews really does approve of me. Gently, I tapped her on the shoulder, and woke her up for school, "Riles, wake up. We have one more day of school before the weekend."

She groaned, "Ugh! Everyday is a day at school for me!"

Laughing, I spoke, "Really? Come on, what would Maya and I do to have the kind of parents that you do."

Her eyes softened, "I'm sorry, I didn't think before I spoke. You know that I wish that your parents were in a better situation."

"It's alright, you don't have to think around me. I want you to say how you are really feeling."

"I really love you more and more everyday."

"I could say the same and so much more." We locked lips for a brief moment, and got up to get ready.

After we had gotten dressed, Riley and I entered the bathroom at the same time. When we did, I saw Riley brushing her lashes with a scary mascara wand. How do girls not poke their eyes out? A little irritated, I vented a bit, "Oh Riley! You don't need that trash! You are beautiful naturally, you don't need makeup!"

She scoffed, "As if. Besides, every girl wears makeup."

"But you aren't every girl. You're special, Riley."

"And this is one of the many reasons that I love you."

Riley

Every single time I look at Lucas, and every moment we spend together, I feel magical, and butterflies buzz around in my stomach. I love him more than anything. That day at school, I was walking in the halls to Daddy's class when I spotted Maya by her locker, remembering her date with Uncle Josh, I yelled out, "Maya! You ready for tonight? I'm sure you and Uncle Josh will hit it off."

Some rude bystander heard, and remarked, "That's disgusting! Your uncle?!"

Offended, I spoke, "Although it's none of your business, Uncle Josh is seventeen, and considering Maya is fourteen, they're only three years apart. It's not that bad."

Maya shot me a grateful smile, "Are you sure you aren't feeling weird about the idea of me and Josh?"

I just laughed, "Feeling weird? Come on! I ship you two so hard! You're perfect for each other, just perfect."

"Thanks, Riles. By the way, how's Bucky McBoingBoing doing?"

"He's alright. Speaking of him, he's coming over here." I saw Lucas' towering physique approach us, and felt familiar churning in my stomach. But, this guy will be the death of me.

Lucas came over, and started speaking, "Hey, Maya. Hello, gorgeous."

I blushed, "Not too bad yourself."

Maya gagged, "Ugh! Much as I love you two together, I hate how sickly cute you guys are! Yeah! You guys are dating. Woopdeedoo! As if we all didn't see this one coming." The three of us just laughed together.

Maya

Tonight is finally my date with Josh. I jumped into the shower right when I got home, and started to get ready. After coming out, I blow dried my hair, and curled it, allowing it to fall in soft, yet bouncy waves. I am beyond excited. Next, I ran some nude matte shadow across my lids, brushed mascara on my lashes, added a bit of a coral blush on my cheeks, and whipped out some hot pink lipstick for an extra pop of color. Smiling and satisfied with my makeup, I changed into my outfit that I set out. Just as I slipped on my jeans, I heard the doorbell ring. I ran to it, as I slipped on my flats, wanting to look casual. When I opened the door, I saw Joshua Matthews, the one and only. I felt myself smile, without even trying to. Elated, we ran out the door. Together, we took a stroll through Central Park, before Josh stopped us by a picnic blanket. I spoke in awe, "Josh, you did all of this? But it must have been so much work!"

Josh's smile grew wider, "Anything for you, Maya Hart. Besides, Riley helped me with it."

"Of course. Riles can't stay out of anything can she?"

"Nope, that's my niece for you. Anyways, I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but you look gorgeous, Maya."

I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks, "A charmer, I see. Yet, your lies will do none on me."

"But I'm not lying. Even if I were, would you be too sure of that?"

"Honestly, no. I've always been one to fall for little tricks and digs."

"Come on May, that's not true?"

"May? And yeah, it is. One hundred percent actuate."

"I wanted to call you something special, so May it is. But, if you were so foolish, I don't think that I would've fallen for you the way I did."

"You fell for me? I fell for you too Josh."

"Well then. I realize this is only our first date, but will you be my girlfriend?"

"But, Josh, I'm three years younger than you. You'd miss all of the fun of high school. Besides, we live an hour apart."

"No, I'd be living high school to the fullest, and I'll come up every weekend."

"Okay. I'd love to be your girlfriend, Josh."

He smiled and swooped in for a kiss. When we parted, I said one thing, "May it is."

Farkle

Tomorrow I'm going to do it. I'm finally going to tell Riley, Lucas, and Maya about my relationship with Isadora. They deserve to know. Besides, Riley and Lucas are dating now, and I'm really happy for the two. They really do share this special connection, they will go the distance. Now, I really do hope that Lucas will choose me to be his best man. Otherwise, I'd need to have a word with that guy.
