Chapter Seven
It was Monday, this weekend was incredible. Maya has never felt this way with someone before. But they both made a deal to keep their relationship a secret, the only ones who knew about it were Farkle, Riley, and their parents. Maya rode with Riley as usual and once they reached the parking lot Maya saw Missy and Lucas talking next to his truck.
"You okay?" Riley asked parking the car.
"Yeah, we agreed to do this." Maya said. She was wearing holey skinny leg jeans and a crop top that had the number 24 on it with her vans. She stepped out of the car and Lucas's eyes went straight to her. She went to the back seat and got her bookbag out. She slung it over her shoulder. She looked over at Lucas and he smiled at her and she did the same back to him.
They walked into school and Riley ran straight up to Lucas. He picked her up and kissed her.
"Hey baby." He said.
"I missed you." She said kissing him again.
"Y'all literally saw each other last night." Maya said.
"So what? I still miss her every time I'm away from her." Farkle said.
Maya simled at their adorable relationship and then felt something tugging on the back of her shirt. She turned around and then got pulled to the side where no one could see. She finally was able to see who it was and it was none other than Lucas Friar, her boyfriend.
"Hey." He said kissing her and putting his hands on her hips.
"Hey." She said putting her hands around his neck.
"Sorry about this morning, I still need to flirt with her so she doesn't think that something's up." He said putting his forehead to hers.
"That's fine, like seriously." Maya said caressing his jaw line.
"You sure?" He asked. "I don't want you to get jealous or anything."
"I'm not the jealous type, Lucas." Maya answered and that was the truth. But it was different with him and besides it's Missy Bradford.
"I'm going to hold you to that." Lucas said kissing her one last time. "So I'm sitting with your group at lunch today."
"But what they know something's up if you do that?" Maya asked.
"I'll just tell them that I need to wokr on the project with you." Lucas said.
"Sounds good." Maya said kissing him one last time and then walking away.
It was lunch time and Maya was ready to finally be able to be seen in public with her boyfriend. It may not be the way she wants it but it's still a step forward. She sat down next to Riley and Farkle sat on the end as always. Lucas then walked over but with an unexpected guest.
"Hey, guys. I hope you don't mind but uh Missy is going to be joining us today." Lucas said looking right at Maya.
"No it's fine." Riley answered for her
"Thanks." Lucas said sitting down across from them. The whole time they were over at the table they were flirting. Lucas didn't even bring up the project, everytime he tried to Missy would start flirting again.
Maya has never been the jealous type but when she saw Lucas and Missy flirting with each other at lunch she went crazy. They were sitting across from each other and Zay could tell that Maya was getting mad. She had her fists balled up by her side.
"I still can't believe how amazing you look, it's just natural." Lucas said caressing her face. Maya had enough she pushed her chair back and walked to the courtyard.
"What's her problem?" Missy asked.
"I don't know, you know what I'll go talk to her." Lucas answered standing up and following Maya. He found her leaned against the door leading to the senior parking lot.
"Hey." Lucas said standing across from her.
"I don't want to talk to you." Maya said opening the door.
"Yes you do." Lucas said shutting the door.
"Lucas stop." Maya said with her back pressed against the door and his hand by her head.
"You told me you weren't the jealous type." Lucas said.
"I'm not, but when I see you doing all of that when you're dating me then I'm the mad type." Maya said.
"Maya, I want you not her. You need to realize that. Missy is just a girl who has a crush on me and I've always played along so if I stopped now then they'll be suspicious." He said.
"What happened to you wantign to be apart of our group? If you really wanted to be then you wouldn't care about what they think." Maya said.
"It's not that simple, Maya." Lucas said.
"Yes it is. But I think I know the reason why you don't want to." Maya responded.
"And why is that?" Lucas asked.
"Because you like the feeling of being popular." Maya said. "Yeah, you would like to be apart of our group but you don't want to let that part of your life go."
"Whatever Maya, assume what you want." Lucas said starting to walk away.
"I hope you know, I'm done." Maya yelled after him.
"What do yo mean, you're done?" Lucas asked turning around.
"I mean if you can't be with me in public then I'm done. I don't want to be the girl that you hide. If I really meant a lot to you then you wouldn't hide me." Maya said.
"Think what you want." Lucas said walking away. And once he said that he knew he had made a mistake. Once he turned around to change what he said she was gone.
Could he ever get her back?
