A/N Here's the Zay chapter, and you can thank Stardust16 for this mini series :) She requested Farkle and Zay being drawn on, then the reactions.
The girls arrived at Zay's apartment about a half hour after they had escaped Farkle's. The former country boy didn't live to far away from their rich friends house, but they stopped on the way to get a smoothie. Only in New York would they have smoothie placed open at midnight, and more often than not the friends took advantage of this.
Maya took out a key from her pocket and unlocked Zay's apartment door, and grabbed and apple on the way to his room from the kitchen. Then she tossed one to Riley.
"Uhh, Maya?" The taller girl started. "Why do you have a key to Zay's apartment." She asked, a little scared of what else her best friend could have.
"He gave one to me." She replied casually as she grabbed a red marker from Riley's hand.
"Why?!" Riley questioned in disbelief, she didn't even think Maya knew Zay's last name, none the less have a key to his apartment.
"Well," The blonde said, trying to pick her words carefully. "I was over here one time, that time we had to do a project for Matthews, and uh, well, we ended up talking about, other things." She added, giving Riley a look. "And he gave me a key, in case I 'ever needed to talk'"
"What kind of other things?" Her best friend asked, as Maya opened Zay's bedroom door.
"Oh, just, you know, things." She said, fidgeting with the marker in her hand.
She wasn't about to let her secret slip again, like Riley had done at Farkle's. Zay had already found out and she was mad enough he knew, but tonight she was glad, or else they wouldn't have been able to get in the apartment. Zay's parents always kept all the windows and doors locked when they weren't home, and they were at Zay's grandmother's for the week.
"Maya." Riley grabbed her best friends shoulders. "Tell me your secret!" She said, shaking Maya and drawing out her words.
"Let's talk about you and Farkle, shall we?" Maya recoiled, and Riley stopped talking. The blonde smirked and gave the brunette an orange marker.
They walked over to Zay's bed where the boy was talking in his sleep.
"Lucas..." He murmured, turning over, and knocking his cat off the bed.
The girls giggled and shushed each other.
"Lucas..." He muttered again, as Doug jumped back on and sat by his feet.
"Looks like Zay's misses his boyfriend!" Maya whispered through fits of giggles, and they laughed even harder.
"Lucas... likes... can't tell! Secrets are bad..." Zay trailed of in his sleep.
"Why does Zay get to know everything?" Riley said, still laughing and petting the furry animal on his bed.
"Ugh, I was wondering how he could keep his mouth shut. Now I now he can't!" Maya reached down and grabbed a black marker and drew big, bushy eyebrows on Zay.
"There, now doesn't he look pretty?" Maya asked Riley.
Riley just laughed even more, hugging the cat and tossed Maya the red marker.
She gave Zay a whole make-over
while the sleeping boy talked the whole time, and Riley talked to Doug.
When she was done, Riley came over and stuck the two apples in his shirt, and they both fell over laughing for a good hour.
After taking a bunch of pictures, they turned to leave. Riley was already out in the kitchen, picking up the apples she knocked over. And Maya went back to Zay's room to pick up the remaining 9 markers. Then, she heard Zay.
"Lucas likes... likes... Maya..." He muttered, and Maya's eyes widened.
"Can't tell Maya though..." He piped up, with a smile creeping up his face. "Even though Maya likes him too."
Maya put her head in her hands and sighed. "I knew he could never keep a secret."
She walked out of his room with the markers and a fierce blush.
"Let's go! It's almost one, and your dad always gets up to tinkle at two." Maya said, grabbing her best friends hand and dragging her out of the apartment, trying to hide her burning face. She knew Riley would catch on that Zay had spilled the beans in his sleep.
"Woah Maya! What's your hurry?" Riley asked, trying to figure out why her best friend had suddenly started acting so weird.
"Did you see Princess?" Riley patted Maya on the back. "It's ok Maya! She's just a little chihuahua, she can't hurt you!"
Riley knew that Maya was scared of all dogs ever since a german shepherd attacked her at the park when they were nine. And Princess Noodle Cake, was no exception. The only dog she liked was Rory, Lucas's cocker spaniel mix, who lived on the farm. And even then she hid behind Farkle the whole time she was out.
"Uh, yea, I saw Princess!" Maya lied and Riley believed her.
Unfortunately for Maya, she got the chance to really see Princess, because when the tiny dog heard her name she came bounding out to the kitchen and Maya shrieked.
"Maya! Shhhh! Zay's gonna wake up!" Riley shushed her, and the dog barked at the strangers.
"Shhhhh! Quiet puppy! Here, want some bologna?" She tossed her a piece and the dog quieted down.
Zay got up to see why his dog was barking, and as he walked into the kitchen, the apples fell out of his shirt. He looked down confused "What the..." He looked up to see his to female best friends hugging each other as Princess gobbled down some meat.
"You said come anytime if I need to talk." Maya squeaked, and dangled the key. "That's why you gave me this."
And Zay, being Zay, wasn't mad. Though he was yet to see what they had done to his face.
"Oh! Well, I'm glad you took me up on my offer! And I see you brought Riley with you! Wonderful! Now what did you need to talk about?" Zay asked, picking up the barking brown dog.
"I uh, we, came to talk about.." Maya stuttered and looked at Riley.
"Maya's fear of dogs!" Riley finished, while letting go of the other girl.
"Yup, and as soon as I saw Princess I changed my mind. I'm not afraid anymore! Well I guess we'll be going! By Zay! Thanks for your help!" Maya yelled and opened the door. The girls stumbled out and shut the door.
"Man, I am GOOD!" The boy said to his dog, shaking his head.
He headed back to bed with his pets and fell back to sleep, while the girls ran all the way back to their own apartment.
"Never again!" The girls agreed as the collapsed on the couch, falling asleep for a few hours before they had to wake up and go to school in the morning.
"Never again."
