Maya was lying on her bed having a good long cry. She cried about how much she loved Riley and how much she hated Lucas. She cried for feeling that no one really loved her at all. Her dad abandoned her, her mother was never around, and just when she thought that having Riley love her would make up for it all, Lucas comes into the picture. Maya cried her hardest at the thought that her best friend would never love her as much as she loved Lucas. Maya cried for a good three hours until Riley called.
"Maya! I need your help! I don't know what to do!" Riley cried frantically into the phone.
"Woah, woah calm down, Riles. What happened?" Maya completely hid the fact that she had been crying in her voice.
"Lucas asked me out! I don't know how to tell him that I don't want to go out with him!" Riley explained.
"Wait what? You don't?" Maya asked shocked.
"I just don't really like him like that anymore. I mean yeah he's a great guy, but I really don't want to date him and I was so afraid that if I said no he wouldn't want to be friends anymore so I told him I'd think about it and now I'm so scared becau-"
"Riles, Riles, calm down." Maya interrupted. "Relax. Take a deep breath."
"Tell me what to do, Maya!" Riley begged.
"Riley, he is a nice, polite, understanding guy. Just tell him how you feel. I doubt "Mr. Perfect " would stop being your friend because of it." Maya assured.
"Okay, okay, I can do this." Riley tried to calm herself down,
"Alright, Riles. Now when you're done talking to Ranger Rick why don't you come over for a sleepover? My mom is out of town for a few days so we can do whatever we want."
"Yay! We can stay up late and do manicures and watch the worst chick flicks we can think of!" Riley said excitedly.
"Alright, bye." Maya said laughing. "YEESSSSSSSS!" Maya cheered after she had hung up. But then she heard a knock on the door.
"Farkle..." Maya sighed as she opened the door.
"Hi Maya, it's been raining hard all day so I thought I'd bring you some hot chocolate." Farkle said smiling and shoving the cup in Maya's face.
"Farkle, just because it's cold and you brought hot chocolate doesn't mean it's 'Farkle Maya cuddly time'. Go home before you catch a cold."
"Well, if I go home, will you at least drink this hot chocolate? Then at least my trip here won't be for nothing." Farkle had Maya cornered.
"Alright, alright." Maya said taking the cup and closing the door without another word. She walked into her kitchen as she drank the contents of the cup Farkle had given her.
"Bleh!" Maya said after chugging the spiked drink Farkle had given her."That tasted terrible!" She said as she tossed the now empty cup in the trash.
Farkle's plan was in action. Once Maya drank the "hot chocolate" she would show all of her emotions. When she feels love, she'll have to show it. Farkle knew that after tonight, Riley would know how Maya felt for her. Farkle knew that nothing in the world would make those two happier then to be together and he truly wanted to see them happy. Plus, as a bonus, if Riley and Maya got together, Lucas would be available...
Riley was in for a very, very interesting night.
