Maya's POV:
"soooo?" she teased as soon as she saw me entering the classroom
"So what Elen? And hey guys" I said waving to riley Lucas and Farkle.
They all replied casually but one. As always his gaze was intense. It made me feel as if I am a project of his and he is studying me watching my moves and anticipating my moods. Why the long gazes Lucas? Why are you making me so uncomfortable? Why are you making me shiver? Why are you making my mission to forget you impossible?
I took my new seat behind Zay and next to Helen. Yet even though I was behind Zay's bigger figure I still felt the presence of Lucas's eyes on me. How and why? Isn't he afraid that riley will notice him and have an outburst or change her appearance to god knows who this time?
"What is new between you and Noah?" Helen asked with the happiest grin ever.
"He asked me out." I said cheering. Knowing that Noah is interested in me and that he wants to be around me makes me happy.
"awww you guys will be our school's hottest couple." Helen cheered loudly getting the attention of everyone
"Elen shh, we are going to take baby steps. We are not a couple yet" I informed feeling embarrassed
"But come on Noah is a total heartthrob so dreamy" she said and I couldn't do anything else but agree
"I know and I am happy to have him by my side. It is just that I don't know." I said and an image of Lucas and the campfire popped in my head making me look at the latter to find him looking directly at me. What should I do?
"Does he make you happy?" Zay questioned after witnessing my uneasiness
"yes." I replied confidently
"Are you comfortable around him?" Zay continued
"Totally" I replied nodding
"We noticed already that he makes you blush so you like him complementing you. Now last question can you imagine yourself falling for him or being with him forever?" Zay questioned and at that moment Lucas suddenly stood
A life with Noah? Falling in love with him? It will be easy, easier than a life with Mr. Cowboy. I will be comfortable waking up every day to those golden curls and gray stormy eyes. I won't have to compare myself to my perfect sister/best friend whenever she is around. I will be lucky to have Noah around. I will become more confident. We can draw together and help each other grow. Noah becoming mine and me becoming his doesn't sound bad at all it sounds good or even great. An easy life full of love and friendliness will be heavenly; but won't it turn boring because it lacks fire and passion? These ideas made me blush fiercely and somehow Helen caught it and started to cheer louder and jump around.
"Noya, Noya, Noya. Yeeyyyyyy" she yelled and hugged me and as she let me go allowing me to breath I saw Lucas angrily walking out of the classroom with riley on his tail. God knows what's wrong with them.
The tension never died all day between Lucas and riley and whenever I looked their way I saw Lucas's clenched jaw and fisted hands while riley kept a scared sad look. I tried to talk to riley to make sure that she is okay but either Lucas or Helen will tag alone with us. I guess that I need to visit her afterwards to check on her. She might have forgotten about our sisterhood and the ring power but I didn't.
Not seeing where I was going I bumped into someone. I thought that I was going to fall but strong hands caught my waist keeping me standing.
"Are you okay little one?" these words and nickname brought a certain comfort to me
"Noah…" I replied looking at him happily
"Yup Noah King at your service my lady." Noah said letting me go and bowing in front of me
"Silly goose" I said smiling
"So princess did you do your homework last night?" he questioned but before I answered someone did
"She does not like or do homework." Lucas said with a cocky tone
"Not when I am tutoring and helping her." Noah fired possessively as he caught my hand and brought me to his side.
"Maya will never allow you to tutor her. She didn't allow us to do so and we are her best friends." Lucas fired back at Noah yet his eyes were fixed on me. They were full of hurt and loss maybe he fought with riley…
"I actually allowed him to tutor me. I needed help in chemistry." I said in a low tone looking away from Lucas
"But I am your partner in chemistry. You could have asked me." Lucas said now with a tone lower than mine and we barley heard him
"You were busy Lucas." I replied daringly. Yet I was not willing to recite the hurtful memories that I had to go through when he ignored me and picked riley over me.
"I would have made some time for you." He uttered and somehow I sensed some truth in his words but I shouldn't care he is with riles now
"It is okay Lucas. Noah is helping me but thanks anyways." I replied this time sweetly trying to end the conversation.
"You don't call me names anymore?" this came out of his mouth like a question.
"I thought you never liked them and I don't want to cause more problems between you and riley…I don't think that she is at ease with our banter." I said helplessly and gazed at my feet trying to look away from Lucas's hurt expressions.
"Oh" was all he could master to say then nodded his head and waved walking away.
"That was awkward! And I felt like a third wheel. I told you that he was jealous." Noah said while side hugging me and walking us to the cafeteria
"That was as awkward as hell! But you, mister, are not and will never be a third wheel. You are the closest person to me right now and you know that I appreciate your friendship more than life Noah." I said firmly meaning each word
"Well those words just made my day little one" he cheered
"Silly goose" I replied to his excessive happiness but my mind kept traveling back to Lucas's hurt expressions. I have to visit riley to know what is wrong.
"So about our date, I thought that for the sake of taking it we could go on a friendly drawing date this weekend; you, me, canvases, colors, music, some food and the beach?" Noah asked gleefully and I was for once existed to go on a real date
"You missed one detail Romeo. You know that both of us when drawing, we don't speak. We just dive into our paintings" I replied imagining our date
"We don't need words May; us being there together while drawing the sunset is more than enough." Noah continued and leaned in to kiss my cheek making me blush deeply
"Aren't you a total cheesy Romeo?"I teased playfully
"Your cheesy Romeo is at your service my rebel Juliet." And this made me and him smile and cuddle closer as we sat next to each other.
Yet our comfort or at least mine didn't last long because I witnessed something that I would have never dreamt of…
Author's question; what happened can you guess?
