Maya was confused. She felt like she suddenly travel back through time to her Middle School Graduation.
She looked at her clothes and she seemed to be wearing a cape and a gown. 'Huh?' she thought.
"…yeah, I'm sure your high school is gonna be o-kay…" said Katy, her hand was on Maya's shoulder.
Maya who was confused for a second snapped out and replied, "Uh… yeah… mom."
Oh wait, now she remembered! She and her mom had a chat at the graduation. 'Why am I at graduation all of sudden?' she thought to herself.
Suddenly, Maya saw Josh walking towards her. She was shocked, and also confused. "Why is Josh here?" she whispered to herself.
Josh looked at Maya and smiled. "Hey Maya. I came here… to congratulate you for graduating middle school. Congratulations... Maya." said Josh. 'Wait what?! Josh is here and he is congratulating me? That never happened before!' She thought. Her heart was beating fast and she didn't know what to do. She totally panicked.
"Oh hi uncle Josh! What are you here for? I thought you don't have the time to come to our graduation…" said Riley as she walked towards Josh after she saw her uncle, along with Cory behind her. "Well… I came here… to meet Maya." Josh answered while looking at Maya and smiled, again.
Maya's face got even redder. She was totally shocked that Josh came and wanted to meet her, and also felt a little happy inside. Everyone looked at Maya who was looking onto the ground, feeling embarrassed, and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly… she opened her eyes and realized that she was dreaming. "Oh, it's just a dream." she said to herself. "But… why was Josh in it?"
She quickly get out of her bed and went outside her room. She went to the living room and saw the tv left open. Seems like there's nothing good to watch on the television. She turned off the tv using the remote which was on the coffee table. For some reason she wasn't sleepy so she went to the kitchen and grabbed her phone which was charging. The phone's battery was full so she pulled out her phone from the charger and went back to the living room. She sat on the sofa in front of the tv and checked on her phone. She only got one text message. It was from Charlotte. It says:
"So, anything happened when you visit Josh for the third time yesterday ;)?"
Maya tried to remember, what did Josh said to her yesterday? She suddenly remembered what Josh said to her about the 'going to the New Years' Celebration' and the 'going to her Middle School Graduation thing'. Should she said that to Charlotte? It's not like it's a secret. And if it was it shouldn't have since it's not a big deal or anything. That's what she thought to herself. But, on a second thought, nope. She just answered:
"Uh… Josh said that his friend Andrew will visit him that night."
Aaand… send. Well, that's what she thought she should said to Charlotte. She then checked her text messages with Josh. She texted with him right after she got from home after visited him yesterday.
JOSH: Hey, did you come back home safely?
MAYA: For the third time Josh, I'm fine. You don't have to text me everytime I come back home after visiting you.
JOSH: Haha, sorry. Anyways, have you done your homework? You know, cause you always visit me straight right after school ended.
MAYA: Well, I'm doing it right now. Thanks for the reminder, Uncle Boing!
JOSH: OK. We'll chat another time then. See you again when you visit me the fourth time!
MAYA: OK, take care.
She smiled while looking at the text messages without even realizing it. After a while reading her texts with Josh she quickly went to Google to search something. She then typed, "What good gifts you could give to your hospitalized best friend's uncle" and went on looking for some useful information.
She kept scrolling to find something useful for hours and hours. Then, her mom went outside her room and saw Maya looking at her phone. "Maya, is that you? Shouldn't you be ready to go to school with Riley?" she asked Maya.
Maya looked at the time. "Oh shoot I have to go and get ready now" Maya quickly rushed to her room to get ready for school.
At the school hall.
The gang walked together along the hallway. Riley pulled Lucas out and told the others to go first. Maya just glanced at the two and walked away. Farkle and Zay looked at the both curiously when they realized that Maya was already ahead. "Maya! Wait!" screamed Farkle as he and Zay ran to Maya.
"So, you remember what I texted you yesterday? By doing what I said, I'm sure Maya will like you more than Josh!" Riley spoke to Lucas softly, so that no one can hear her.
"Riley, haven't I told you a million times? I might have told you that I'm jealous but that doesn't mean I like Maya more than you!" said Lucas.
Yesterday, Riley texted Lucas her plan for him to make Maya like him. But Lucas keeps texting "Riley… I like you and Maya both the same. And I don't want to get near Maya at all. I just said that I was jealous."
Riley sighed. She pulled out a creepy angered face and pushed his back. "Just… do what I said! After school you go with Maya! And you cannot say no. You already agree with me."
"Ow! You don't have to do that."
"So, will you do as I said?" asked Riley as she grabbed Lucas' arm and headed towards Maya, Farkle and Zay.
Lucas rubs his back and said, "Alright, I'll do as you told me to."
Riley's eyes sparkled. "Finally!" she shouted.
"What's 'finally' and what were you two talking about?" Zay asked the two as he looked at them, his arms were crossed. Riley, who just realized that she was talking to Lucas near the three was surprised and panicked. "Finally! We are here after a while you guys waited for us!"
"Nah we waited for you guys for not that long. It has only been 51 seconds." said Farkle while looking at his expensive watch.
"Huh so it wasn't that long." Riley said. Maya opened her locker beside her and took out her books and gave it to Riley. "We have art together on the first period right so lets gooooo" Maya said as she pulled Riley who was holding her books to art class. "Mayaaa why are you in a rush?" asked Riley who was still being pulled by Maya to their art class. But Maya just ignored her.
After school.
"Just do what I told you to, okay? Go Lucas!" said Riley as she pushed Lucas towards Maya who was about to go to the hospital and visit Josh again.
Maya felt like there's someone behind her so she turned around. Lucas looked at Maya and Maya looked at Lucas. Lucas didn't know what to say. "What are they doing?" asked Farkle as he looked at them both.
"Nothing now how about us three head to Topanga's and do our homework there alright let's go" Riley suggested as she pushed the two leaving Lucas and Maya together.
"Uh hey, Maya… how about I… I mean, can I… come with you to visit Josh?" asked Lucas. Yes, that was the plan. Riley told Lucas to go visit Josh together with Maya after school so that he could 'get near Maya'. 'Ugh do I really have to agree with this? I feel like something's bad gonna happen...' Lucas thought to himself.
"Oh so you wanna come with me to visit Josh?" Maya asked back.
"Yeah, so I thought… I should go visit Josh… yeah."
"Okay then let's walk together then huckleberry."
"Okay."
After they arrive at the hospital, in Josh's room…
"Hey Josh Lucas is here with me. He also came to visit you." Maya said as she walked through the door, alongside Lucas.
"Hey… Josh… Uncle, Josh…." Lucas greeted Josh.
"Hey… Lucas…" Josh said awkwardly.
"Um, you two have talked to each other before… right?" Maya said.
"Uh… yeah..." Lucas and Josh said at the same time.
'Uh… I feel like something's wrong…' Josh thought as he looked at Lucas. "So Maya, what's your relationship with... um,... Lucas?" he asked Maya with full of curiosity.
Maya didn't know what to say. What should she say to Josh? What is her relationship with Lucas? Friends? Best Friends? Crushes? Uh… Exes? Have dated before?
"Well… we're um..." Maya stuttered as she looked at Lucas who was standing beside her, also didn't know what to say.
"W… we're friends? Uh… Good friends? Great? Best friends…? Well crushes?" Lucas blurted out all the relationships between him and Maya (well, not ALL of them) in nervousness and also confusion, without realizing that he had tell Josh something he wasn't supposed to say. Josh was surprised, and also confused by Lucas' answer.
"Uh.. no... we're just friends… just goooood friends.." Maya quickly said that to avoid confusion. She then hit Lucas' shoulder and whispered to him, "If you said another word I will crush you" She whispered at him in anger. Lucas then realized that he suddenly told Josh that they're 'crushes'. He quickly nodded, feeling scared that Maya will kill him.
The room became quiet all of sudden. Josh was… well, shocked. He looked at Maya who was looking at Lucas in anger. He had no idea that Lucas and Maya liked each other after a long time he haven't seen Maya. Who knew Maya has changed? 'Are… are they dating?' Josh thought to himself.
lol I used "creepy angered face" in this chapter and it felt pretty weird and funny to use it...
