Chapter 28 Silver Nights Part 1

A/N: Oh whoops that's Sabrina's song! I'm driving home from an amusement park and I felt the need to update. Ugh I have so much homework when I get home:(. Sorry for not updating like at all this weekend, but I've been busy. And sorry it's kinda a short chapter, I wasn't prepared to write this right now, oops!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Riley
"I hate you. I hate everyone on this bus. I hate this bus. I hate skiing. I hate the cold. I hate everything."
Maya mumbled for the millionth time.
"Stop complaining, this is supposed to be fun! We get to be together all weekend!"
Maya gave me a death glare.
"I don't wanna be with you all weekend."
I looked behind me at Lana and her friend Missy, thank god Maya's here.
"Look we're here!"
Someone shouted from the back of the bus.
Maya quickly looked out the window, maybe she's a little excited.
"Woah look at the ski lift!"
Farkle yelled pointing upward, wow that's really high. I could feel the anxiety creeping in already.
Before I knew it we were all getting up and grabbing our luggage.
"Let's move it slow poke."
Maya muttered as she stepped off the bus, I quickly followed behind.

Maya
"Try the other key. No you already tried that one, the other one."
Lana crouched in front of the door trying to open it. Of course our cabin keys don't work.
"Maybe they gave us the wrong key."
Missy said blowing on her hands.
God it's so cold out here.
"Hey guys!"
Farkle, Lucas and Charlie waved at us happily, it made me wanna punch them.
"Having trouble with you keys?"
Charlie asked.
"No-"
"Yes, we need a big strong man."
Lana giggled flirtatiously.
Lucas took the keys from her and opened the door swiftly.
"There ya go."
I gave him a small smile as we headed inside.
He grabbed my arm, a thousands bolts of electricity shot through me.
"Wanna go on the ski lift later? I really need to talk to you about something."
Maybe he'll finally admit his love for me.
Wait no Maya stop, you've been down that dark path before.
"Ummm maybe. I promised Riley I would hang out with her."
Okay that was a lie, but a pretty good one if I do say so myself.
"Oh okay."
Lucas said awkwardly shoving his hands in his pockets.
He slowly backed away and gave a small wave. I smiled in return.

"Come on let's go to the lodge and get dinner."
Riley groaned pulling at my arm.
I'm honestly so tired right now, I just wanna crawl into bed and sleep for the whole weekend.
"Riley it's fine just go without me!"
She finally gave up and let my arm down with a flop.
"I'll bring you back a hot chocolate."
I gave a thumbs up as she left the cabin, finally some peace and quiet.

Riley
"Yeah 1 hot chocolate please."
I told the woman behind the counter and paid her.
"Oh hey Riley."
Farkle stood next to me, I hadn't even noticed him.
"2 hotdogs please."
I looked at him suspiciously.
"What? I'm hungry."
I laughed, these are the times I love most with Farkle. There's no awkwardness, just friends joking around.
"Wanna sit down?"
I nodded eagerly and we sat at the couches looking out at the resort.
"Hey look it's snowing!"
I pointed excitedly at the window. The first snow of the season always seems so magical.
"I saw."
"Wha?-"
"The kiss. At homecoming. I saw."
"Oh."
I looked down at my feet, I didn't know what else to say.
"Do you like him?"
I shrugged, I can't just tell Farkle that I thought I was kissing him. I don't want him to feel that pressure that he has to kiss me.
"Everything's just so complicated. I wish it would all just stop."
"But it won't. Not until Maya-"
Farkle stopped.
"Until Maya what?"
He shook his head quickly.
"N-nothing. Why aren't you drinking your hot chocolate?"
"That's not important and I bought it for Maya anyway. Stop trying to change the subject! Maya what?"
Farkle sighed, ha! I finally broke him.
"You can't tell anyone."
I nodded.
"Maya-

Maya
Lana rushed in the cabin, looking flustered and out of breath.
"What's up with you?"
She started running around the cabin.
"Where's the stupid shower?"
I pointed to the only other door in this place.
"Why are you acting so....weird?"
Lana pulled a towel out of her bag.
"Charlie and I...well we did it. And I think my protection broke."
My mouth dropped open.
"You mean we could have a snow baby on our hands?!"
Lana nodded slightly, her eyes started to get watery.
"Maya, I'm so scared."
I got up and wrapped her in a hug.
"Hey don't worry, everything will be fine."
I don't know if that's actually true. What's Riley gonna do when she finds out?
Oh god.
What's she gonna do to Charlie?!
