Chapter 3

Maya's POV:

Soo... The movie theater. I wasn't sure what was happening, and I don't think he was either.

I don't like Lucas... C'mon.

He's just ol' Huckleberry, I would never like him.

But when our eyes met, I couldn't let go. I felt as if... We were trying to tell each other something by just looking at each other. I was in astonishment. Why would Lucas go along with it though?

He can't like me... He loves Riley. I'm sure of it. But... I'm not sure if I'm in love or not.

--------------------------------------------------------
After the movies, we all left, and Lucas and I shared glances walking out. We were both confused... At least I think we were. With some leftover popcorn, we walked all the way back to Riley's house, Lucas and I not saying a word.

Riley and Farkle talked to each other the whole way back, but I wasn't paying much attention since I was overthinking about stupid hand holding. But I was planning on never telling Riley. It would break her heart.

It wasn't even a big deal... Why am I overexaggerating?

And it didn't even mean anything... Lucas likes Riley. And Riley likes Lucas.

But... Do I like Lucas?

I can't get inbetween them. Riley's my best friend... I can't do that to her.

*10 minutes later*

We finally got to the top of the building, and I walked into the apartment with Riles.

We said bye to Lucas and Farkle, and ran to our bay window. It was like that everyday.

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

"Hey Maya?" Riles said, while I put my things down.

"Yeah Riles?"

"Ya know how Lucas and I waited for you and Farkle to get more popcorn?"

"Uh... Yeah."

What is this leading to?

"During the movie, he held my hand and we looked at each other."

"Oh my god! How could he do- "

"What?" Riley said interrupting me.

"I mean that I'm so happy for you Riles! You guys are so cute!" I replied holding in what I wanted to say.

"I know. But DONT TELL MY PARENTS MAYA!" She violently said.

"Okay okay Mrs. Nicey, I won't say anything," acting like the person I am.

Why would he do this? I can't ask Riles anymore questions... Cause she'll asume that Lucas and I did the same thing. Was everything he did an accident and he just didn't mean it? I'm falling for Lucas... But I guess he isn't falling for me.

Lucas's POV:

I did hold hands with Riley... But not for the wrong reasons! I thought Riley and I would have a connection. But when I looked into her eyes, I just didn't feel it. I'm not sure how Riley felt. But if anything... I don't want to hurt Riley.

But with Maya... It was an accident. I didn't mean to do it... So when it actually occured, I felt something. Something I didn't feel with Riley.

But Maya likes Joshua. She'll never like me. Yet I do.

Is this wrong? Should I be with Riley? I just don't know what I'm doing wrong... But I feel like I shouldn't have done what I did.

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

Riley's POV:

Finally. I've always liked Lucas from the start. Does this mean that he likes me too?

I felt bad telling Maya because I know how much she likes Joshua, and no romance ever began. I want Maya to have a happy ending, because she said she could never have one. I hope I have a happy ending like Maya will one day.

But. Farkle told me something. And now... I don't know how I feel either.
