I would like to thank everyone for the reviews! This chapter is short because it was sort of a brief story of what happened during lunch. And even though it seems like this chapter is getting to the point trust me, it isn't yet. I Have a lot of tricks up my sleeves.

Riley's point of view

Maya and I sat at my bay window. Our 'special' spot.

"Maya, please tell me. What is wrong?" She sighed. Then looked into my eyes, this is important.

"So, when I went to find Lucas. Um." Oh no, what if she didn't find him? He was in class, but he avoided be the rest of the day. He avoided Maya, Jake and I.

"Maya, what happened?"

"Let me finish."

"Okay, just get on with it." My heart was racing I wanted to know why so badly.

"When I found Lucas we started talking. And he doesn't think you should go to that date with Jake." What?! Seriously, he's just jealous! Ugh!

"What! That's it? He storms out of the lunch room, avoids me the whole day. All because he's jealous! What's his deal. UGH!" I stood up without knowing it I guess.

"Riley, you don't need to freak out. He just doesn't think you should date him because he is the 'Rebel.' Who knows what he could do to you. He just wants you to be alright. He doesn't want you hurt."

"I don't want to be hurt either. But he hurt me. Just today, I mean he avoided me all day. And yelled at my date. And stormed out of the lunch room. He's just jealous. I that makes me want to go on that date with Jake even more!" I stood up again, now I'm in the middle of my bedroom. Maya started to get mad, I could tell in her face.

"Seriously, Riley. Sure, maybe he is jealous. But he's just trying to look out for you. He doesn't want you hurt! Can't you see? He wouldn't have done those things if he didn't think you were going to get hurt."

"No. He did those things because he's jealous! And I don't need Lucas to protect me, I have my father. Lucas was making an excuse so he doesn't have to admit he's jealous." Maya stood up and walked over to me, "Riley! What is making you act this way!" I turned my head, "If it's because you're going on a date with the 'rebel.' Then stop. Because I don't want my best friend changing, I bet this is what Lucas was talking about." I dropped my crossed hands from my chest, and looked at the floor. "Riley, I am just going to leave. So you have some space, I love you. I will see you tomorrow at school." Maya turned around and picked up her backpack, opened the window and left. I'm standing alone in my room.

Maya's point of view: The talk with Lucas during lunch;

"Lucas!" I had to run to catch up with him. He turned around.

"Tell me Maya, am I going mad?" I shrugged.

"I don't know, but I know you're acting a little jealous." I nudged him. We sat on the stairs, person length apart.

"I'm not jealous," he looked at his hands while fiddling with them. I smiled. "I just don't want her to get hurt. She's one of my best friends, and shes going on her first date with the 'rebel.' I mean, she's so good. her grades, her voice is so innocent. I don't want that rebel boy to do anything to her. Hold her hand, hug her, kiss her or you know more. I just want to protect her. That's all I've ever wanted to do since she smiled at me on the subway when we first met. I wanted to be her protector. Make sure she's safe." He sighed, he loved Riley. He really loved Riley.

"Awh, how cute," I nudged his shoulder for him to lighten up, "you care for her. There's no problem with that. Just tell her how you feel, maybe she will change her mind. You never know, maybe she likes you more than Jake." Oh no, I said too much. Oops.

"No, I don't want to hurt her. My moment will be my moment."

"Okay, but Lucas. Just make sure you don't break her heart. Or I will break you." I sat up, he looked up at me and smiled.

"Promise." Then the bell rang, and it was off to class.
