Start of my life (a gmw story)

Part Twenty Two: Maya's POV

Riley finally sent the boys home after a marathon of her favorite show, Austin and Ally.(Lord help me).

"Maya!" Riley chanted as soon as the boys left. "How about we watch The Spongebob Movie? I'll make popcorn!"

No way.

"Not gonna happen, Riles. You made me sit through the lovey dovey seasons of Austin and Ally, now I get to pick what to do and or watch. My house, my rules."

"Oh and speaking of lovey dovey!" She squealed. And I'm not exaggerating. Squealed.

"What is it, McSqueals?" I said sarcastically.

"One," Riley answered,"You have a name calling problem, and two!"

She took a deep breath as if what she was about to say could change our lives. It's probably about some puppy who found his way home or something like that junk.

"Lucas asked me to the First Summer Dance!!!" She said in a 10-year-old happy voice.

"Uhhh.." was all I could get out at first.

I don't know how to explain how I felt it's just that... I... I felt hurt. Lucas said he liked me. He lied. He likes Riley, it will always be Riley. First she had the family, then the money, and now the first guy I ever liked?!

You wouldn't think this but everything I just thought had come to me before so it took me less than a second to answer Riley.

"Oh my gosh Riley! You didn't even need the rest of the plan! He must've liked you from the start if it only took step one!!" I said as enthusiastically as I could. I could cry now, I had every right to. But I wouldn't.

"I know!!" She answered. "it just happened!! First we were talking about.." her voice trailed off. "We were talking about the dance," she is lying.

She always has that accent when she lies but unfortunately she didn't bring her stupid diary for me to read. She would probably gush all of what happened down in that thing if she had it.

She was talking a lot but I wasn't listening. I was to lost in thought to listen.

*does he like me? Did he ever like me? Was I just a way to get closer to Riley?*

But my thoughts turned into an emotion I didn't have very often when she said one particular sentence. "And then he kissed me! And then we started to make out!"

"Riley?" I asked hurt.

"Maya? Are you ok? Do...do you like him."she asked worriedly.

'Riley how could you! I really liked him! And guess what? He kissed me before you so there! HA!' Is what I wanted to say way more than you would know.

But instead this hunk of lies came out. "Riley! OMG OMG OMG!! He kissed you!! I'm so proud of you! Your second kiss!! Mr. First Kiss AKA Farkle is gonna get mad!" I said all best-friend like.

"Maya, how did you know!?" She asked shocked.

"What do you mean? I was right there and so was Lucas. He was behind the curtain remember?"

She looked scared.

"Riley! School play? Chin kiss? You in there, hello!?" I asked half sarcasm half annoyed.

She looked relieved. "Oh yeah well that wasn't real. I know Lucas felt something. He was the one, after all, who was the one to start moving their lips and such," she answered proudly.

The feeling I felt was jealousy. Maybe with a hint of regret. Regret that I ever broke my first rule of life:
Never learn to love anyone because they will leave you.
