Start of my life (a gmw story)

Part Twenty One: Lucas's POV

"Alright," I said. "No backsies. We are gonna play truth or dare, right now."

They all agreed.

"Ok, Farkle goes first!" Farkle exclaimed while smirking. Riley smirked. Maya smirked. I smirked. We were all smirking. Could they be in on this?

Naa!

"LUCAS! Truth? Or-a dare?"

Did I really have to think? Duh! Dare!

Why was I so curious about what was that thing is anyways? Whatever it is, it is something important. I can feel it in my gut. What better way to find out in a dare in a game of Truth or Dare.

Wait!
I could just have done a truth to Riley and we wouldn't risk all of this drama!! Stupid Farkle.

Riley likes me and I like Maya. And I think that Maya likes me. She is very confusing. Women.

"Lucas? Earth to Lucas," Farkle said while snapping in front of my face.

"Wha-what?" I answered. "Dude, you zoned out for like five minutes. Did that question confuse you?" He said with a hint of sarcasm. "Let me repeat slowly. Truth. Or DARE!!" He said emphasizing "dare".

"Dare!" I answered with more confidence than I had.

"Finally. I mean um.. I dare you to go in a room, alone, with Riley for 15 minutes," he said while Riley looked like Maya does when her favorite racer is winning the World Cup.

She does love her sports.

"What? Oh darn," Riley said interrupting my thoughts, "but a dare is a dare. I'll do it if I have to and you have to also Lucas! But it's not like anything will happen," Riley said at a rate that would beat lightning in a race.

"Come on Riley," I said gesturing to Maya's room door.

She basically flew up. She then changed her entire facial expression and jammed her hands in her pockets and "cool walked" over to me.

"Sure whatever," in a voice that could of been the Fonz's. ( a cool guy who wears a leather jacket from a 1980's tv series. fact of the day 😉)

We walked inside the room. After closing the door she sat on the window sill and patted the spot next to her.

"Wow! I've never sat down on Maya's window. It's almost as special as the time I first sat on your window sill," I said while sitting down and trying to butter her up. I don't know why but the curious part of me needed to know what that thing was.

"Lucas, do you like Maya?" Riley said after a few seconds of silence.

I stiffened up. I did not know how to answer that so I just sat there uncomfortably.

"Oh," she said after a minute. "Well if you like her then I should be happy for you and her." She focused her eyes to the floor. I saw something drop from her eye.

"Riley are you crying?" I asked concerned. I may not like like her but she is still one of the most important people in my life.

"Lucas, no, I'm happy for you guys," she answered in a shaky voice.

*i can't believe I'm about to do this.* I thought.*but it's for Riley*

"Riley, please don't cry," I told her lifting up her head with my finger to face mine.

Her eyes were watery and she looked so sad. It was almost cute. It reminded me of a kitten.

I took a deep breath and planted my lips on hers. For the few seconds my eyes were open I saw the shocked look in her eyes. She closed them after a second or two right before I closed mine.
