As Maya and Josh were driving towards the car rental shop Maya looked in the sidemirror and looked at Lucas who was driving behind them.
"Do you think Huckleberry is listening to country music?" Maya asked laughing at Lucas who was singing along to the radio. Josh just chuckled and kept his eyes on the road.
"Probably." He said trying to keep a straight face but failing at it. Maya looked at Josh whose eyes were focused on the road. When Maya thought about how 5 years would affect her friends she never thought about how it would affect Josh. she just assumed would be the same, which was somewhat true. He still looked like the Josh she remembered but with more mature and harder features. As she looked at him she remembered the feelings she once had for him. He turned and looked at her.
"What?" He asked.
"Just thinking about when we were kids." She said looking back at the window. "I used to have the biggest crush on you, it was ridiculous." He looked over at her.
"Are you saying you don't anymore?" Josh said putting his hand on his chest as though he was hurt.
"Oh, shut up." She said smiling back at the road. When they finally got to the car dealership Josh went to check in the cars leaving Maya and Lucas in the car lot.
"So, cowboy, where you listening to country music?" Maya asked looking at Lucas. He smiled at her and looked at his feet.
"Nope, Meghan Trainor." He said looking up at her. Maya began to laugh and stared at Lucas.
"I can't believe you actually told me, did the thought that you are giving me ammo to tease you with ever come to mind?" She asked.
"Not fast enough apparently." Maya smiled and shook her head.
"Wow, same old huckleberry." She said. Mayas laughing finally started to stop and they were quiet again.
"I just realized that we haven't really talked in about 5 years?" Lucas said. Maya thought about it in her head and he was right. It was ridiculous how even though they had not spoken in such a long time they could act like nothing ever happened and like they just saw each other yesterday.
It's really been a while." She said amazed. "You know what?"
"What?" he asked.
"In London, they didn't really have cowboys I could make fun of." She said as Lucas began to laugh.
"Really? Huh who would've thought." He said sarcastically. Suddenly Josh came out from the dealership.
"Ready Kiddies?" He asked. Maya and Lucas both nodded. They then began to walk towards the subway.
"So what have I missed since I moved?" Maya asked looking at the boys waiting for the gossip.
"Well, Riley and I broke up about 2 months after you left." Maya's jaw dropped as she looked at Lucas.
"What, I shipped that so hard." She said laughing. "You know, Rucas or liley, I don't know I'm still working on the ship name." Maya said smiling at Lucas who just cringed at Maya's ideas.
"Well, no need to do that." Lucas said laughing.
"Anything else with the group?" Maya asked.
"Farkle and Smackle dated for 2 years, but then they broke up." Maya looked at Lucas.
"but still that is a long time for them."
"Yeah, we were all surprised, but I mean they are so alike maybe that's what broke them up." Lucas said.
"So, Uncle Boing, what new with you? Any new Girlfriends?" Maya asked. Josh looked at her and shrugged.
"A few here and there but none really serious." She nodded and kept walking. A part of her was kind of relieved he didn't have girlfriend at the moment.
"How was London?" Josh asked. Maya thought about it, she really did love London.
"It was pretty good." She said. They got on the subway and found some seats and that was when Maya remembered it, when she and Riley would ride it to school every day, when they first met Lucas, when they met Evelyn Rand. Even a few bad things came to mind but most were good and that was all she cared about.
"What are we going to do tonight?" She asked.
"I think Riley just wanted to have a movie night like we used to do." Lucas said. Maya smiled at all the memories of movie nights and sleep overs with Riley.
"That sounds nice." She said.
