Start of my life (a gmw story)

Part Twenty Seven: Lucas's POV

I'm pretty sure that Maya just implied that she really liked me and I was currently singing random songs or scatting. Maybe a little dance in there from time to time.

I headed for home. Honestly I was beyond exhausted.
When I finally got home, I did all of the usual things people do to get ready for bed.

I was so tired. It was around 11:30.

I sat upright on my bed, put the covers on, and just as I was about to rest my head on my pillow...

"Bvvvvvvvv. Bvvvvvvv"

My phone buzzed.

"Oh, come on!" I said under my breath as I got up.

I looked to see who it was.

Riley:
You need to go to the Night Hawk Diner and talk to Katie

Who was Katie? That name sounded a little bit familiar.

Me:
Why should I? I'm having a bit of a bad day

Riley:
It's Maya related. You could win her over 😏

I didn't even bother to think how Riley knew I liked Maya. I jumped at the opportunity.

Me:
What do I need to do?

She texted me what I had to do. It didn't make much sense, but Riley knows what she's talking about. Especially when it comes to Maya.

I got dressed and went to the Diner. When I got there I saw a recognizable blond lady with a name tag which said 'Katie'.

That was Maya's mother. I remember because do when she came to career day.

"Miss Hart!" I called to her.

She looked surprised to hear that.

"Please, call me Katie," she said. "What will you have?"

"Could I get a little talk?" I asked her.

"Who are you? I boy your age shouldn't be out at this time of night."

"I'm a friend of your daughter," I told her.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you. You know my name," she said offering me her hand.

"I'm Lucas," I said while shaking her hand.

"Oh, so your Lucas," she said observing me.

"Yes, does Maya talk about me?" I asked at her expression.

"Yes, I've heard some things."

I was about to ask what kind of things before she cut me off.

"It's her business if you want to know, not mine."

"Could I say something to you?" I asked.

"As long as your not going to yell at me," she joked.

"I don't know what this means but, today was supposed to be Maya and your day. You didn't commit, and now she is heartbroken.

"She sometimes thinks that your purposely avoiding her. She sometimes thinks that you could end up just like her dad," I said adding on the last part.

She was speechless. She just looked at me for a while.

"You have to know that I love her to death," she finally got out.

"When was the last time that you told her that?" I asked starting to catch on to what Riley was trying to do.

"I... Your right. But she knows that the only reason that I'm doing this is so that we can have the money we need to.." Her voice trailed off when she looked at me. "Never you mind," she said before she turned around and headed for the kitchen.

"Did I make you mad?" I asked loudly as she was in the other room.

"No," she said coming out with her purse. "You made me realize something. Thank you. You are a wonderful friend to my daughter."

The word friend sort of hit me like an arrow. But it's not exactly wise to talk about this with her mom now.

She headed for the door. "Thank you," she said once more going out of the door.

I think I just did something good.

Then I realized something.

I could go home and sleep now!
I'm a growing boy, I need my rest.

When I got home I didn't even bother to change clothes, I just went strait to sleep.
