Neighbors

Chapter 3

Maya's POV

I woke up to the sweet scent of bacon. I love it at Riley's house. It's always so nice and calm and loving. It's the opposite of my house with my mom.

I went downstairs and riley is sitting at the table next to Auggie eating their pancakes. I sit down next to riley.

"Good morning Maya" mrs Matthews said to me an she set my pancakes and bacon down infront of me
"Good morning" I said and ate me pancakes

------------------------------------------

I got to my locker and I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see cowboy just standing there staring at me.

"Uh can I help u?" I said sassily
"Yea u can. Maya how come I've never been to ur house?" He asked
"Because" I said and as I started to walk away he grabbed my arm and spun me around
"Maya, that's not an answer" he said
"Whatever lets just go to class ok?" I said trying to remove his grip from my arm
"Maya please" he begged looking at me with his big green eyes
"Look cowboy, I just don't want u to see my apartment ok." I said starting to get upset
"Why not? Maya we've been friends for a while now, I really want to get to know u more" he said while taking my hands.

I looked up at him. Should I tell him? What will he think? Why do I care so much about what he thinks? Why does he care so much? Why is he holding my hands? Why do I not want him to let go? So many thoughts at one time, I can't handle it.

"Lucas please, I just don't" I said looking at the ground

He lifted my chin with his finger.

"Maya I really like u" he said nervously
"What?" I said
"I really like u Maya, a lot." he said
"Lucas I - I really like u too, but riley" I said thinking about how my Best Friend has a crush on him
"Maya it's ok, I like u not riley, please be my girlfriend" he begged
"Lucas I can't. Riley has a huge crush on u and I could never do that to her. I'm so sorry." I started to cry and I gave him a kiss in the cheek and ran out of the school.

--------------------------------------------

I stayed at home for the rest of the day, and when school ended I got 15 texts form riley, 10 texts form Farkle, and none from Lucas. I should've said yes, but I can't do that to riley.

I heard a knock on my window and assuming it was riley I opened it without looking, but it wasn't riley...

Oooooooooh. Who is it?😱
XOXO,
