Mr Matthews history class had just ended and it was the end of the day.
Riley walked out to her locker with Maya trailing behind her.
"So are you gonna do the history homework?" Riley asked, digging into her locker for her stuff.
Maya closed her locker. "I'll think about it."
"So that's a no." Lucas said behind her.
Maya looked at him. "Aw, you know me so well."
They all closed their lockers and Lucas was talking.
"I have to ride my bike home." He said.
"Why?" Riley asked.
"Because we don't have horses in New York." Maya said.
Lucas was amused by her humor. "That was a good one."
He continued talking, "my parents can't pick me up. It's like a mile away anyways."
"I hope you fall." Maya said jokingly.
Normally people would get offended if someone said that to you.
But with Lucas and maya, it was normal. It's what their friendship was based on.
"Wow thanks Maya. That's the nicest thing I've heard you say."
They all went in different directions and headed home.
Once they reached their apartments, Riley said. "Nice to see my otp flirting with each other again."
Maya knew exactly what she was talking about. "Oh my god shut up. It's never gonna happen."
Riley shrugged. "Deep down you care about him a lot."
Maya laughed a little. Okay. What does otp mean anyway?"
"One true pairing."
"Only you would know that."
"Well, I do watch tons of tv shows. It's a hard life."
She walked away and Maya went into her apartment.
•the next day•
Maya's POV:
I walked into mr Matthew's 6th period, taking my seat.
Normally I would see Lucas sitting behind me.
But today he wasn't there yet.
The bell rang and I sat down, looking at Riley and Farkle.
"Where's cowboy? I haven't seen him all day."
They just shrugged and mr Matthews came in, setting his stuff down.
"Before I begin class, I just wanted to share that our classmate, Lucas has been in an accident."
"What?!" Riley exclaimed.
Mr Matthews nodded. "When he was riding his bicycle. We don't really know anything else."
"Is he okay?" I asked.
Mr Matthews nodded. "He should be."
He changed the subject and I leaned down in my chair..
I couldn't believe this, just yesterday he was fine.
After totally spacing out, the bell rang and everybody scurried out.
Was nobody even concerned about the fact someone got hurt?
I went up to Riley, who was putting her stuff away.
"Do you know where Lucas is staying?" I said, referring to a hospital.
Riley shook her head. "No. But I'll ask my dad, he probably knows."
