Lucas' pool party was ending and everyone started to leave.
"Maya. It's pretty dark, and Riley's dad is picking her up. Want me to walk you home?" Lucas asked.
Maya knew Mr. Matthews would pick her up too, if she asked.
"Sure" Maya smiled.
Maya went to Riley.
"Hey Riles, I'm not going to ride with you and your dad" Maya announced to Riley.
Riley's face went sad. "Aww why?"
"Uh, no reason" Maya smiled nervously.
"Well, be safe" Riley walked to her dad's car and they drove away.
Maya walked to Lucas.
"You ready?" He smiled.
He grabbed his jacket and keys, and locked his front door.
They started to walk to Maya's house.
"Why are you so nice?" Maya blurted out.
"Well, clutter bucket. I'm nice because it makes other people feel, welcome and warm" Lucas smiled.
The wind roared and Maya shivered, and put her arms in her big tee shirt.
Lucas looked at her, and stopped her.
"Maya, don't do that" Lucas frowned. "Take your arms out".
She did as he asked.
"Here" Lucas started to put his jacket on her.
She smiled. "Thanks"
"No problem, come on" Lucas smiled.
They soon ended up at Maya's house.
They went to her door.
She took off his jacket and gave it back to him.
"Thanks, again" She smiled.
He smiled. "Good night Maya"
"Good night Lucas". She went back inside her house.
Lucas frowned. "I should have kissed her" He whispered.
Everyone was at school and in their classes.
Farkle, Riley, Lucas and Maya had gym.
Everyone was playing soccer. Lucas and Maya were team captains.
"Lucas your team is going down. I can play soccer in my sleep" Maya smirked.
"Oh really?" Lucas faced Maya. "My team is going to beat you, because we actually have skill"
"We're going to win, because I'm the captain" Maya stepped closer to him.
"Please, your team sucks so bad that even vampires don't want you. Get it, because vampires suck blood, ha" Lucas smiled.
"Cowboy, that was so lame" Maya smirked.
"Like your team" Lucas teased.
The kids' mouths were filled with laughter.
Maya rolled her eyes.
The game began and Maya's team was in the lead.
The game ended and Maya's team won.
Maya threw her hands in the air, and yelled happily laughing.
Maya was at her locker, clapping slowly, as Lucas walked up to her.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the loser, bucky mc boing boing" Maya smirked.
Lucas raised an eyebrow. "That didn't make sense"
"Whatever. Guess what I got on my Math test" Maya smiled.
"60" Lucas answered.
"80! My mom's going to be so proud of me" Maya smiled to herself.
"Good" Lucas smiled.
They just stood there in silence.
"This isn't awkward at all" Lucas said.
"I know right. So not awkward" Maya looked up.
Their eyes locked, they both smiled.
"Maya..." Lucas smiled.
"Yes?" Maya squealed.
"Do, you. Do you- umm have a dog?" Lucas chirped.
"Lucas, you know I don't" Maya answered.
"I know, I know. That's not what I wanted to ask" Lucas said.
Maya raised her eyebrows.
"I wanted to know, if you. Oh my god this is harder than it looks. Okay, I can do this, I can do this." Lucas rubbed his hands over his face.
"Maya Hart, do you want to go out with me?!" Lucas screamed.
The whole hall went silent and the kids just stood and stared.
Maya's face turned red.
The kids oohed them, making heart shaped with their hands.
"Lucas…" Maya mumbled.
"I know, I know. Why would a gorgeous, funny, talented, cool, smart girl want to date me?" Lucas looked down at his feet.
"Lucas. Stop, I should be the one, worrying if you liked me or not" Maya frowned.
"No you shouldn't. You're amazing" Lucas disagreed.
"No, you're the amazing one" Maya announced.
"Okay, were both amazing. So is that a yes?" Lucas smiled.
"Yes! Of course, I would go out with you; Lucas Friar!" Maya jumped in his arm, for a big bear hug.
He hugged her back tightly.
The kids smiled in awe.
