Chapter 2: What Are We?
Riley's POV:
Maya and I were on our way to Farkle's house for a little pool party. I already knew that Lucas was going to be there. So I looked as cute as I could. I was wear a tan sun hat, with a black brandy Melville crop top with a white floral kimono, and light denim shorts. I was wearing my bikini underneath. Maya was wearing a simple blue dress and sandals and she had on a fedora. I still haven't told her about what had happen with me and Lucas the night before. "So what did you do last night?" I asked. "Nothing much, just laundry and my nails. You?" she said "Oh nothing much, just slept with Lucas." I said as I ran my fingers through my hair. "No way! Tell me what happened?" she said. "Well, I went over to his house and I was helping him with his college essay, then we both agreed that it was a stressful year, and then before you know it we were ripping each other's clothes off." I said. "How was it?" she asked. I gave her a look. "Oh, come on Riles, you can tell me." Maya said. "It was amazing." I said. "What happened after?" she asked. "Well, we were in shock and we laid in his bed for about thirty seconds, then I tapped his leg and said peace." I said. "Peace? You said peace? Maya said. I nodded. "So what are you guys?" she asked. That was a good question. I didn't even know what we were. We continued to talk about it until we finally arrived at Farkle's house.
I parked my car behind Lucas's truck, all of a sudden Farkle's front door opened. "Ladies!" he said as he walked over to us. "Farkle!" we said back. He helped me take the cooler out of my back trunk and we walked to the backyard. Then I saw Lucas there. He looked so beautiful sitting by the pool. I could watch him for days. He was wearing a white vneck, and Hawaii board shorts and sandals. He had sunglasses on and I felt like I was in love. Then I felt someone nudge me in my waist, it was Maya. She made kissy faces at me. I playfully pushed her and we went to go join Smackle, Billy, Yogi, Darby and Zay by the pool.
Lucas got up and gave me a hug. "Hey, I was wondering if we could talk." He said. I nodded and we walked to the other side of the pool. "So about the other night, it was amazing. But there's something that's has been bothering me." he said. "Something has been bothering me as well, I keep wondering what we are. What are we?" I asked. "That's what I was going to ask you. What do you want to be? I'll be fine with whatever you decide." He said. "I don't know. I'm not really good with being put on the spot, when we did that thing, I didn't know what it meant. So I guess were still open." I said. My mind was everywhere. I had no idea what I was saying. "Well, I can give you time to think about it and we can just remain friends for now." he said. "That sounds like a good idea." I said. We walked back to the other side of the pool and Maya shot me a look. I knew what she was thinking but Lucas and I were going to be just friends for now. But I didn't know if that was really what I wanted.
Later on that night, I was driving, having no idea where I was headed. I needed to clear my mind. But I didn't know where to go, or who to talk to. All of a sudden I found myself driving through Lucas's neighborhood. I went drove around in circles debating if I should talk to him again or not. Finally, I decided to do so. I went up to his door and knocked. Luckily, Lucas answered. Before he could say a word, I pulled him into a kiss. The kiss started to deepen. Finally we pulled apart, "Wow. Riley, what was that?" he asked. "It's you, Lucas. It's you that I want in my life, but not just as a friend. I want you as more than just a friend. I won't mess up this time because what we have is special, we understand each other, and I know you still feel that indescribable connection between us. So why don't we try again?" I said. I took a deep breath. I took everything I had to say that to him. Lucas looked like he was in shock. Then he gave me that smile I loved. "Come here." he said as he took my face into his hands and pulled me into a kiss.
The next morning I woke up feeling absolutely amazing. Especially since me and Lucas got back together last night. I was finally going to have the best senior year ever, at least that's what I thought. I walked outside and gave my parents kisses goodbye and met Lucas outside. He was standing in front of his truck waiting for me. He looked so cute standing there. "Hey you." he said as he gave me a kiss. He opened my door for me and we drove off to school. Once we got to school, we walked through the halls, hand in hand, everyone had their eyes on us. Yes, the power couple is back. I thought to myself. "Well, well, well it looks like the cowboy got his cowgirl back." Maya said as she walked up to us. "Riles, Ranger Rick. I'm happy to see that you two are back together." she said. "You are?" Lucas said in a shocked tone. "Yes, as much as it pains me to see my best friend with someone like you, I am" Maya said sarcastically. We all walked to history class together.
As we walked in, Eva was waiting for us. She was in Farkle's seat for some reason. "Hey, why are you in Farkle's seat?" I asked. "Oh, he let me sit here for today." She said with a smile. I looked at Farkle. He was looking down at his desk. He looked really guilty. I knew I had to talk to him after class. "Farkle! That was really nice of you to give your seat to Eva." I said. "What? Oh yeah, I-I guess." He said as he stumbled on his words. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah, I got to go to debate team. I'll see you later." He said. That was so strange. Something was definitely up. It could've had something to do with Eva.
Now where was Lucas, I was at my locker and usually would usually meet me here by now, then I closed my locker and turned around to find Eva talking to him. She kept trying to touch him, but he kept backing away. She is not going to take my man. So I walked over there and pulled Lucas into a deep kiss. Then we pulled apart and he put his arm around my waist. "Oh, hi Eva." I said cheerfully. Eva look surprised. "Oh my god, I didn't know you two were together." she said in an innocent tone. "Well, now you know." I said with a cheerful smile, then I grabbed Lucas's hand and we walked to the parking lot.
I was sitting in my room, then I heard a knock on my window. It was Maya, "Hey weirdo." She said as she climbed through. "Hey, what're you doing here?" I asked. "When am I not here?" she asked. She had a point. "Anyways, what happened with Eva today, I saw you and Ranger Rick talking to her and it did not look good." She said. "She was basically flirting with Lucas, so I went over and claimed what was mine. It had to be done." I said. "Where did my little chump go?" she asked. "She's still here but sometimes she needs to stop being a chump and put someone in their place." I said. "There is something off about her though, I just don't know what it is. Did you notice how weird Farkle was acting today?" she asked. "Yes, I tried to talk to him earlier, but I barely got anything out of him. Do you think it had something to do with Eva?" I asked. "Probably, but maybe this is all in our head." Maya said. Maybe it was all in our head.
So the chapter ends here. What do you guys think about Eva? Do you think she's up to something? How far do you think she will go? Stay tuned for chapter three xx
