Chapter 2

Lucas's POV:

Spending 7th grade here at John Quincy Adams Middle School, gave me enough time to find out who I truly want to be with. But 8th grades bringing me in a whole nother direction.

I started hanging out with Maya, because I wanted to hang out with Riley when I first came. Weve become best friends ever since. Including Farkle. Farkle has always loved Riley and Maya, but he could never choose between the two. Even though he changed his appearance drastically, he's still the Farkle I know.

He went from turtle necks and bright colors to beanies and black. But I didn't mind it. Because thats who he wanted to be.

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

It's kind of hard to admit this... But I'm not sure if I like Riley as much as I like Maya.

Back in Texas, rough-housing was our way of how we got to know each other. Just playing around calling each other names. And thats what Maya did.

Riley's all rainbows, gumdrops, candy, and unicorns, but thats what I love about her. She always was the first to help out if someone was hurt physically or emotionally, and she knows how to light a room up.

At this point, I don't know who to love.

-------------------------------------------------------
It was Friday, the day we always got out of school and rushed to go places and just have fun. And todays pick was the movie theaters. Classic Farkle. We waited in line, debating which movie to watch.

Farkle wanted to watch something called, "A Invasion," which was like a alien thingamabob. Too Sciency for anyone else.

Maya wanted to watch, "The Visiting Kills," which was a Horror movie. Riley couldn't decide what to watch, but she definitely didn't want to watch what Maya wanted to.

We all agreed on a comedy movie. We bought the tickets, popcorn, and Sourpatches and we went into the theater.

Seats were kind of awkward. Riley sat first, to the far right, in the back, and Maya came with her. I sat next to Maya because I didn't want to sit in a different area.

Farkle sat on my left, and Maya on my right.

*10 minutes later*

The movie had finally started after what felt like hundreds of commercials.

I continued watching the movie until I felt Maya's hand touch mine, and she quickly moved it.

Was it an accident?

I moved my hand on top of the cup holder, grabbing my drink, when I felt her hand again. I looked over at our hands, when our eyes met. Riley and Farkle not seeing a thing, I kept my hand there.

Riley looked at me for more popcorn, and we let go as soon as Riley turned to look at me. I gave it to her, and she looked back at the screen. Maya looked at me, and I looked at her. I gave her a faint smile and she gave me one in return.

How should I be feeling? Does Maya actually have feelings for me? Do I?...

But if Riley had seen what happened... How would she react?

I think.... I think I'm falling for Maya. Who wouldn't... She's a blonde beauty.
