Thank you, to everyone who followed/favorited and reviewed! I'm glad you liked it, even though I was nervous nobody would. It feels like a lot of pressure now... But I shall continue to update! Also I'm sorry if they're out of character a bit...
Walking into class gave Maya fight or flight feeling.. and she was heading more towards flight. Sitting in his seat, Zig turned his head to see his "former" friends walk in and take the table next to him. Since there wasn't many seats left the group really had no choice. Maya, feeling Zig's eyes on them began to shrink in her seat. Thinking it wasn't such a good idea to sit here. As if things couldn't get worse, Zig got up and made his way toward them.
"Hey, can I talk to you guys?" Zig stood before them trying not to lose his nerve. Tori and Tristan looked at one another then both looking at Maya.
"I suppose... that is if you're gonna be giving us apologizes." Tori was the one to speak first.
"Okay.. you're defiantly right about the apology part. Believe me, I am sorry for all the problems I caused. It sucks when you're friends cut you out..." He looked at all three of them trying to see the direction it was going. He didn't feel like arguing right before the teacher got there. There was a long pause, Maya feeling the awkward silence, decided to get through this quickly.
"I know you're sorry and you obviously didn't plan for all that to happen. But we're not the only ones you should be apologizing too. Even though Cam wouldn't listen to anything you had to say anyways." Maya was surprised at how strong her voice came out. She was never one to hold grudges, and if she were in Zigs place, she'd want to be forgiven too.
"I'm sorry about that Maya, I know you would never choose me over your boyfriend. It just sucks it took all this to realize that. I'm especially sorry to you Tori, you are an amazing girl that I took for granted, you deserve better than me... And Tristan, I'm sorry for causing your best friends pain, and almost tearing them apart. That's all I wanted to say..." He got up and headed back to his seat. When class was over, they quickly gathered their things and left, glad to leave all the tension there.
"Do you think he's sincere..?" Tristan being the first to bring it up on their way to Mayas locker.
"I don't know. I just need time to think." Tori whispered.
"I'm not very good at staying mad at people." Maya just looked at her friends, who just smiled.
"So... you gonna tell Campbell about what happened..?" Tristan looked at her with doubtful eyes.
"Yeah, I will." She tried to sound more confident than she felt.
"Can we change the subject, please?" Tori finally spoke up. Tristan and Maya nodded and they made their way to lunch. Sitting at their usual table, they didn't know what to talk about without bringing up Zig.
"So Cam wants me to come to his first Hockey practice next week.. would any of you like to come?" Maya couldn't take the silence anymore.
"Sure I'll go, but just a heads up I'll probably be on my phone the entire time. I don't get the first thing about Hockey.." Tori looked at the Hockey table shaking her head.
"I think I'll pass, I see enough of my jock brother at home." Tristan said tossing his none existent long hair back. Causing Maya to almost choke on her water from laughing.
"Okay, so its just you and I, Tori. Make sure to wear a warm coat, its freezing in that rink!"
"No worries there, I just bought a new coat. Plus, it'll give us time to talk, just the two of us. We haven't done that in a long time." Tori smiled at Maya, remembering the wasted time spent mad at her.
"Good, I've missed that."
"I'm so glad you two patched things up. Not having you two talk has been hell on my life!" Tristan said picking at his salad.
"Glad we could make your life easier." Maya rolled her eyes at Tristan's theatrics.
"I know you are sweetie, and I thank you for that." Tristan winked popping a baby tomato into his mouth. Tori, of course only laughed.
"So speaking of Hockey, wheres your puck bunny?" Tristan asked trying to stifle a laugh at the familiar nickname.
"I wish you'd stop calling him that. Its embarrassing."
"Honey, we're your friends its our job to tease you every now and then." Tristan patted her hand sympathetically. Maya raised an eyebrow, but looked around the lunch room searching for Cam. Before anxiety started to take over, she finally saw him talking to Dallas by the doors.
"He's talking to Dallas over there." Maya pointed.
"Good or bad thing?" Tristan and Tori asked in unison.
"I don't know... guess I'll find out later when I ask him."
"Shh! He's coming over here!" Rolling her eyes at her friends Maya stood up and kissed her boyfriend before they sat back down.
"Did I miss something?" Cam asked feeling they had something they wanted to say..
"Yeah, we were wondering what you were talking to Dallas about." Leave it to Tori to say what they were all thinking.
"Blunt much?" Tristan asked.
"What? We were all thinking it." Tori said innocently.
"He wanted to talk about next weeks practice, and he doesn't think I should play..." Cam spoke before it could turn into an argument between the three.
"Why?!" They all asked in disbelief.
"Because he doesn't think I'm well enough to handle it right now. But I told him I'd be alright."
"So he's gonna let you play...?" Maya asked putting her hand on his leg.
"Yeah, he had no choice, the coach gave the okay." Giving Maya a reassuring kiss on the cheek.
"Awww!" Tori and Tristan looked at them like they were a pair of baby chicks. Which only made Maya turn red, for the millionth time that day.
"Must you guys always do that?" Maya couldn't take much more of their gushing.
"Yes. Until we get boyfriends we'll be living through your relationship." Tristan grabbed his tray waiting for Tori.
"But take it slow, we don't wanna lose our virginity yet." Tori winked and with that they left, leaving Maya stunned and overwhelmed with embarrassment. She couldn't even look at Cam.
"Wow, they sure are something else." Cam said pulling Maya up so they could leave the lunchroom.
"Tell me about it..." Extremely glad she spoke without stuttering. Finally she looked at Cam and he turned and gave her a sweet smile. He was just too cute, she leaned up gave him a long deep kiss, which he was more than happy to return. But remembering they were in school, they pulled apart.
"I love you, Maya." He whispered softly pressing his forehead against hers. Their eyes met causing her heart to skip, seeing his vulnerable and unfaltering honesty.
"I- I love you too." Shyly she smiled and gave him a quick loving kiss. Before she could pull away he brought her into his arms. Putting his face into her neck, giving her a couple of kisses. Gripping his jacket trying to suppressed a moan. But before anything could happen he looked up and kissed her forehead. Grabbing her hand they made their way to Maya's next class. Suddenly she was thinking Tori and Tristan were right, this whole virginity thing would be a problem.
