(MAYA)
Maya was sitting on her bed, on the verge of tears again, when she heard the front door open. Most likely the person coming in was Miles, so she wiped her tears away, grabbed her phone and opened a game of Candy Crush and pretended to be distracted. Miles knocked on her door and entered without a second thought, and must've noticed Maya's state, because he just dropped her bag and came and put his arm around her. "Tell me everything." God, why was Miles so perfect?
"Read it." Maya shoved the magazine in Miles' face. It was partially ripped, due to Maya's anger, but not so ripped that you couldn't read it. Maya's chicken arms couldn't dream of ripping through a magazine. Miles read the article quietly, with a straight face. He didn't seem to get too angry or anything, he just set down the magazine when he was done, and after about a minute, he finally showed a response.
"I hate that bitch."
Maya tried (and failed) not to laugh.
"Why are you laughing? She's a bitch." Miles said, quizzically.
"Because... I don't know. You're cute."
"I mean... I know that." Miles gave a joking eyebrow raise as if he knew he was cute. He was even cute when he was trying to act like he was arrogant. The laughter faded and they just stared at each other for a minute or two.
"So, what are we going to do about this?" Maya finally broke the silence.
"Um, well...I mean, there's nothing better than revenge, right?" Miles smirked.
"What do you have in mind, pretty boy?" Maya laughed. She usually hated cliche nicknames, but Miles was so corny it just seemed right to call him something like pretty boy. Miles didn't seem to mind either, so she guessed she had judged his corny-ness correctly.
"My darling, Maya. I have a plan of course. I always have a plan. I'm a planning planner. I'm just...the plan master."
Yeah, Miles was really corny.
"Remind me why I like you again, you cornball." Maya smiled at her boyfriend, and they both simultaneously leaned in for a kiss. After the kiss, Miles pulled away, his hands still caught in Maya's now very frizzed up hair. "I think that might be part of it. My awesome kissing skills." They both laughed and returned to their deep kissing.
(MILES)
Miles really did have a plan. After school time had ended, Miles and Maya quit their make-out session and did homework together for a while. They might have taken breaks from their studies to make out... Okay, so they basically made out and occasionally took breaks to study. Same thing, pretty much. It was nice.
But once Maya's mom got home and they had to stop being all over each other, Miles had time to think about his revenge plan against Zoe again. He wasn't going to be cliche. He wasn't gonna do some dumb prank that has been done 300 times over. He needed a fresh idea. Which meant he'd have to go to the person who knew how to prank... Chewy.
He really hadn't intended on going back to his best friend, but honestly? He needed guy time. As much as Miles loved spending time with his beautiful girlfriend, he needed guy time too. So he sent a text to Chewy, hoping for instant forgiveness. And just like any other fight Miles and Chewy had gotten into, Miles was forgiven instantly.
"Hey, Mrs. Matlin. May I go to a friend's house for a bit please? I did all of my homework." Miles asked in his most polite voice. He got a nod of approval and a command to be home by dinner. "Thank you so much." Miles replied, as he shot a smile toward Maya's mother and headed out the door to Chewy's.
"Hey man!" Chewy said as soon as Miles arrived.
"What's up?" Miles said, walking up to his wing-man.
The two gave each other their signature handshake that they'd made up in 5th grade. It was so cheesy and they only did it when nobody was around. It was a weird fist bump that then turned into a high five, a low five, then another fist bump, and ended with a "WACHOW!" Again, so cheesy. Never to be seen by the public.
"So, why the sudden apology?" Chewy wondered once they got into the Chu house.
"Uh-well, first of all I missed my brother. Second of all, I need help."
"What kind of help? Like-I got my girlfriend pregnant help or math homework help?"
Miles laughed at this remark. Chewy was the type of person who was funny without trying.
"Revenge help."
Chewy seemed intrigued instantly. In 8th grade, Chewy became obsessed with revenge and was honestly so bad-ass. It ended in being grounded for like 6 months because the principal called home after a certain chicken issue, but still. BAD-ASS.
"Who's the victim, Jack?" Chewy said in his best detective voice. What the hell was he doing a detective voice for, Miles wasn't sure, but he was gonna help Miles, and that's all that mattered.
"Uh-This chick." Miles didn't want to say to Chewy that he was seeking revenge on the girlfriend of Chewy himself-If they were still together.
"Zoe?"
Miles nodded reluctantly.
"Thank god, she needs to learn a lesson."
Miles was instantly confused. "Break up?"
"She's into you, dude. Big time. Turns out she only said yes to me so she could try to hook up with you."
"Oh, I'm sorry Chewy."
"It's cool, I'm used to it."
And the sad thing was, Miles knew Chewy was used to it. Miles usually got the girls and Chewy usually just sat around, crushing on the girl that Miles was going out with... Miles wondered to himself if Chewy had a crush on Maya... After a sufficiently awkward silence between the two teen boys, Chewy cleared his throat and continued the conversation.
"Anyway, what are you thinking for revenge? I saw those pictures in the magazine. My mom buys that magazine and saw you and got majorly pissed. She kinda doesn't like you."
Miles chuckled. As if Mrs. Chu ever really liked Miles. She always gave him dirty looks and said that he was a bad influence whenever Miles left the room at the Chu home.
"I was thinking... I don't know. I want to teach her a lesson, but I also want to embarrass her so bad that she never messes with Maya or me ever again."
"I think I've got something..." Chewy said, and Miles imagined a big light bulb over his friend's head. Chewy was incredibly clever...
Now, what was the prank going to be?
R&R and please help me think of what the prank should be! Because I have no idea. I know that it's gonna have to do with Maya + Zoe working on the decorating committee for a school dance together and Miles/Maya/Chewy are gonna do something to Zoe at the dance. But if anyone has any prank ideas for that, that'd be awesome! Thank you guys so much. (Hint: There's more Hollingsworth drama coming too! Oooo)
