Maya was at her locker, at the end of the day.
Lucas walked up to her.
"Hey Maya, remember my pool party if this Friday" Lucas smiled.
"Okay" Maya nudged.
"Maya are you sure you're okay?" Lucas frowned.
"I'm fine" Maya said.
"I bet I'll make you laugh" Lucas smiled.
Maya shook her head.
"Yes I can" Lucas started to tickle her.
She started laughing like crazy "Stop it! Lucas!" She giggled.
He kept tickling her.
"Told you" Lucas laughed.
Riley walked up to the two.
She gasped. "What are you guys doing?" Riley frowned.
The laughter fell, and Lucas stopped tickling Maya.
"Nothing" Lucas chatted.
Riley looked at Maya. Riley's eyes started to water.
"Riley?" Lucas cooed.
"Riley, no don't do that. Please" Maya frowned.
Riley ran out the school doors, and Maya followed.
"Riley!" Maya bellowed.
Lucas followed Maya outside.
"Riley?" Maya frowned sitting next to her.
"Why would you like him knowing that I do" Riley cried.
"I don't like Lucas" Maya disagreed.
"Yeah, we were just messing around Riley. But we don't feel that way about each other" Lucas explained.
Riley studied their faces.
"Okay" Riley sniffled and walked away.
Lucas and Maya looked at each other.
"That's crazy, that she thinks, we like each other. Pfft" Maya scoffed.
"Yeah I know right" Lucas smiled.
"I mean you're cool and stuff but nooo" Maya bubbled.
"Yeah, you're adorable and stuff but nooo" Lucas chortled.
"You think I'm adorable?" Maya smiled.
"Of course" Lucas agreed.
"I'll catch you later Maya" Lucas walked away.
Maya giggled to herself. "Hear that everyone! I'm adorable!"
Everyone smiled at her.
- Friday
Maya was getting ready for the pool party.
She was deciding what to wear.
Soon her doorbell rang, it was Riley. She let her in and they went in her room.
"So what are you thinking of wearing to the party Maya?" Riley asked smiling.
"I don't know but I like yours" Maya smiled.
"Thanks" Riley smiled.
Riley had a towel around her waist but you still saw the top.
It was pink and had purple ruffles and black flowers.
"I'm thinking of the yellow one" Maya smiled.
"All you have is one piece?" Riley questioned.
"What's wrong with a one piece?" Maya asked holding it up to herself.
"Nothing, let's go" Riley smiled.
Maya put it on, and they rode their bikes to Lucas' house.
His house was packed with cars along the street and drive way. And you could hear the upbeat music.
They went to his door. They rung it and a tall boy welcomed them in.
"Were we supposed to bring a gift? Because I brought a gift" Riley smiled putting it on an empty coffee table.
"No one cares" The tall boy grumpily said.
They entered his big back yard.
Lucas instantly greeted the two.
"Hi guys, thanks for coming" Lucas smiled.
Lucas looked at what Maya was wearing and raised an eyebrow.
She was wearing a long tee shirt over her one piece.
"Riles you look great" Lucas smiled. He walked over to his pool.
Maya sat on the edge of the pool and swung her feet in it.
Lucas jumped in, getting Maya wet.
"Oh" Maya screeched.
Lucas laughed and wiped his face. He pushed his wet hair back, making May's heart race.
"Get in Maya" Lucas smiled.
"No" Maya frowned.
"Come on" He smiled.
She shook her head.
He tickled her feet, causing her to laugh.
"Stop it Lucas" She giggled.
He started to smile.
"Please?" He begged.
"No" Maya reiterated.
"Maya, you gave me no choice" Lucas picked her up and dragged her in the pool.
She started to scream under the water.
He quickly brought her up.
She started to cough.
"I said don't do that" Maya snapped.
Lucas let go of Maya, and she scrambled. She panicked when her feet didn't touch the bottom of the pool.
"Maya, Maya!" Lucas grabbed onto her again.
"Lucas, I can't swim" Maya blurted.
"What? Why didn't you tell me?" Lucas asked.
"Because you would think I'm a wuss" Maya frowned.
Lucas grabbed her waist and put her on the edge of the pool. He got a towel and put it around her.
He sat next to her. "Maya, that's impossible".
Maya looked at him.
"Give me your hand" He smiled.
She put her warm hand in his.
He lightly slapped it.
"What was that for?" Maya asked.
"For thinking I would ever think you're a wuss." Lucas smiled.
Maya smiled.
He looked at her hand and saw a scar. He started to rub it.
"Stop" She said silently taking her hand away.
He studied her crystal blue eyes, and smiled.
"What?" Maya smiled sweetly.
"Nothing" Lucas looked away.
