I let out a small curse as I try and squeeze into my favourite little black dress, but it was just not cooperating with me, after a lot of cursing I decide to take off the little black demon.

I turn my head when I see my dorm room door swing open, panic rushes through me as I quickly cover my lady parts.

Amusement swirls around my roommates face as she steps into our dorm room.

"What are you doing?" Riley asks awkwardly.

I let out a snort, "I'm just trying to find a dress..."

The brunette's face lights up slightly, "For?"

A small growl escapes my lips, "A date..."

"Is it Lucas?!" She cries out excitedly as she grabs my arm happily.

A strange feeling forms in my chest at the mention of his name.

I shake my head, "N-No...I-It's someone else"

"And who might this mystery man be?" Riley asks as she sits down on her bed.

I shrug, "Just some guy from my class"

"Is he pretty?" She asks curiously as she rests her chin in the palm of her hands.

I roll my eyes, "He's a fairly good looking man yes"

"Is he as pretty as Lucas?"

Once again I roll my eyes, "Can we please stop discussing Lucas, you're putting me off my date?"

The brunette growls, "Just admit it peaches, you want to be on this date with Lucas not whoever the other guy is"

"His name is Zay"

"His name might as well be 'why-bother' because why are you actually bothering going on this date when you clearly like Lucas?"

I snort, "There is no way in hell, I have feelings for Lucas"

Her massive brown eyes roll, "You two spend a hell of a lot of time together, and everytime you come home after hanging out, you have this sparkle in your eyes"

I quickly shield my eyes, "There's no sparkle!"

"There is a bright, shinning, sparkle!"

I shake my head stubbornly, "I can't"

"You can't have feelings for him, or you can't admit it?" Riley asks as she stands up and crosses her arms firmly against her chest.

I feel my body begin to grow flustered, "W-What does it matter?!"

"Of course it matters! It's how you feel"

I resist the urge to allow tears to flood my eyes, "I need to get ready for my date"

"What you need, is to start admiting how you feel"

I turn around on my heel quickly, "What's the point?!"

The brunette sighs, "Please Maya, I want you to be happy"

I shrug as I pick up one of the many black dresses led on my bed, "I'm happy going on my date"

"Fine, but if you don't act soon, then you might miss your chance" She murmurs softly.

"There's nothing too miss" I mutter under my breath.

A sad sigh escapes my lips as I pick up one of the black dresses carelessly, at this moment in time I couldn't care less what I was wearing or how I looked.

I slip into the black dress, before I tie my blonde curls into a half-up and half-down hair kind of thing.

"You look nice" Riley murmurs stiffly.

I roll my eyes as I turn to face her, "I know you're not happy about this, because it isn't Lucas but at least fake a smile"

The brunette rolls her eyes before giving me a gigantic smile.

"This is for the best Riles, me and Lucas wouldn't work like that"

"Of course it would! You're best friends pratically"

"Exactly, we're friends"

"All great relationships start off as friends first"

An amused look graces my face, "What like you and Farkle?"

Her cheeks grow pink, "Perhaps"

My eyebrows furrow together when I hear a knock on my dorm door.

"Is he picking you up here?"

I shake my head, "No I'm meeting him at the car park"

Riley snorts, "How romantic"

I roll my eyes as I advance towards the door before opening it, I feel my breath hitch slightly when I see Lucas stood there with an innocent smile on his face.

A whistle escapes his lips, "Blondie, you are looking good"

I feel my heart catch in my throat as my cheeks burn brightly, "T-Thanks Luke, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to wish you good luck, you know before your date"

My heart deflates when I hear no tone of sadness or jealously in his tone.

We where just friends.

And that's all we will ever be.

A fake smile grows onto my lips, "Thanks Pretty Boy"

Lucas chuckles, "Well, he's a lucky guy"

I falter massively, "R-Really?"

"Obviously, he's going out with THE Lucas Friar's best friend"

I roll my eyes before shoving him, "You're an ass!"

His face becomes serious, "Just be careful tonight yeah? And if he pulls something, call me don't even question it"

I nod, "I will, thank you"

The dark blonde rubs the back of his neck, "Well I gotta go, good luck"

I wave him off before he walks away from my door, I rest against my doorframe as I feel tears begin to well up in my eyes.

"You do have feelings, don't you?" Riley says softly, I turn around as I face her with tear glazed eyes.

I shrug, "I-I don't know"

"It's going to be okay Peaches" She says before I feel myself being pulled into a tight hug.

I pull away from her, "I-I really don't want to go on this date"

"No one's forcing you to go"

"But I need to go, I can't wait around for someone who doesn't want me" I say firmly before I grab my purse of my desk.

"Well good luck, I love you"

I give her a soft grin, "I love you too"

I compose myself before I leave my dorm room and begin to walk down the dorm room corridor.

My eyebrows furrow when I hear familiar voices in a hushed tone.

"So you're paying me for this right?"

"Yeah, just don't tell her"

"And why are you paying me to date your ex-girlfriend again?"

"I just don't want her hung up on me"

My eyes widen as I feel my stomach drop, I quickly charge around the corner to see Zay and Josh huddled together.

"You're an ass!" I cry out, as I reach forward and hit Josh with my purse.

Josh's eyes widen, "W-What?"

"How dare you pay someone to take me out on a date?!" I snap.

"M-Maya-" Zay calls out.

I narrow my eyes before I turn to face him, "And how dare you?!"

Zays eyes widen considerably, "I-I-"

"Y-You, Y-You" I mock as I grab his shirt and pull him towards me.

"Sorry" He squeaks out.

I roll my eyes as I let go of his shirt, "You're not worth it, none of you are"

Josh sighs before taking a step towards me, "Maya..."

I shake my head as I feel tears burn in my eyes, "How could you? After all this shit you put me through, couldn't you have just found an ounce of respect for me"

"Maya, I'm doing this because I care about you"

I scoff, "You're doing this because you care about yourself"

"I did care about you Maya, I promise you"

My eyes narrow, "Don't lie to me"

Josh growls before stepping dangerously close towards me, "Don't tell me how, or how I did feel"

"You broke my heart Josh, I really felt something for you"

"We weren't in love Maya, what we had it wasn't love"

I feel my heart clench massively as tears prickle in my eyes.

"D-Don't tell me what I felt" I say spitefully as I feel a stray tear roll down my cheek.

Familiar laughter echoes my ears, I whip my head around and see Lucas stood at the end of the hallway coming towards us, with his arms wrapped firmly against a tall brunette by his side.

"Look Maya, even he gave up on you what's it been two weeks? You push people away because you're so deluded" Josh hisses in my ear, causing me to cringe massively.

A strangled sob escapes my lips, "Fuck you!" I croak out, "Fuck you, you're a fucking dick"

Zay sighs as he pats Josh's shoulder, "Come on man, you're being cruel"

I narrow my eyes, "I'm not a fucking charity case!"

Josh laughs obnxiously, "Maya, your entire fucking life is a charity case!"

"Dude" The tall dark guy next to him interject.

"I bet there's a reason why your dad left Maya, and that reason was probably you!"

I feel the wind literally be knocked out of my chest.

"What the fuck did you just say?" A voice says from behind me.

"Oh looks like Prince Charming has returned"

Lucas narrows his eyes before shoving Josh against the wall behind me, "I'm gonna ask you again, what the fuck did you just say?"

I feel my stomach churn, as Lucas defends me.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I manage out as I look up at Josh.

His face contorts into an unreadable expression, "D-Do you want the the truth?"

Lucas nods, "Either we get the truth or you get my fist, got it?"

"Y-You where the first person to break my heart"

My eyebrows knit together, "You cheated on me?"

"Because...you didn't love me, you fooled yourself into thinking you loved me and that's what hurts the most"

"I-I"

Josh lets out a shaky laugh, "I see the way you look at this dofus, holding my shirt rather roughly I may add and you've never looked at me like that, not once"

My cheeks burn brightly, "W-We're not together, I don't have feelings for him"

"Then why did your entire face light up, as soon as you heard his voice?"

Lucas lets go off Josh because staring at me with a wary expression, "Maya?"

I let out a fake laugh, "Josh, you're being a idiot, I don't have feelings for Lucas"

"Well still, you never looked at me like that"

"And I never will" I murmur.

Josh sighs before grabbing Lucas' fist and releasing it from his shirt before shaking his head and walking away.

I turn towards Lucas with tear brimmed eyes, "I-I"

He lets out a small sigh before wrapping me into a tight hug, I rest into his chest before a small sob escapes my lips.

"It's okay blondie"

"Promise?" I whimper.

The dark blonde chuckles before nodding into the crook of my neck, "I promise"

We pull away for a few seconds, I wipe my cheeks roughly in the hopes to remove the mascara trail which was probably down my cheeks.

"You can go back to your date" I say softly, "Sorry about this"

"Nonsense, you're my friend and you need help, you're more important than some booty-call"

Something sparks inside my stomach when he says that I'm more important.

"Now blondie, the night is still young so why don't we head out?"

"Where would we go?"

Lucas shrugs, "Anywhere the world is our oyster"

I snort, "You're strangely optimistic"

"And you're irratingly neurotic"

I roll my eyes, "You're also a massive asshole"

A cheeky smile crosses onto his face, "It's all part of my charm"

I snort, "I hate to break it too you pretty boy, but that charm of yours is non-existent"

"You've had a rough evening, you clearly don't know what you're saying"

I laugh, "Clearly"

"So what do you wanna do blondie?"

"I wanna watch the stars"

Lucas snorts, "We're not doing that"

I pout, "Why not?"

"Because we're not a couple, I'm not watching stars with you, it's weird"

I roll my eyes while ignoring the pang in my stomach, "You're weird! But fine let's just go back to my room and watch films"

"Sounds simple enough"

We walk back to my room in a comfortable silence, when I walk in my room I see that Riley has already left presumably going on another date with Farkle.

Lucas laughs, "Blondie, why has your closet thrown up every black dress in the history of all man-kind?"

"Because, I wanted too look pretty"

"You always look pretty" He says nonchantly.

I feel my heart skip a beat as all the blood in my body rises towards my cheeks.

"T-Thanks" I manage out.

The dark blonde looks over before giving me a warm smile, "So what film we watching?"

I shrug, "I don't mind, all I know is that I need to get out of this dress"

Lucas wiggles his eyebrows, "Want any help with that?"

I laugh before rolling my eyes, "And Fuckboy Friar returns"

"He never left blondie"

"Shut up pretty boy and turn around"

The boy nods before doing what he's told, I spin my back around before lifting my dress off and picking up the baggy shirt and shorts I was wearing earlier today and sliding them on.

"And you can now turn back" I announce, as I spin around to face him.

"Not going to lie blondie, you looked hotter in the dress"

I narrow my eyes as I attempt to fight of the redness which was growing on my cheeks, "Whatever asshole"

"Your comebacks are getting worse" He notes before sitting down on my bed.

"Must be because I'm spending far too much time with you"

"Why do you say such nice things to me?"
