Behind her Back

She's So Hot

Lucas's P.O.V
The next day Maya and Farkle walk into the school, hand in hand. My chest hurts as I watch them. "Hey Huckleberry. It's about time I found someone for myself, right?" She giggles that cute little giggle of hers and I watch her and her significant other walk down the hallway. God. I just don't want to break Riley's heart though. Who do I talk to about this? I realize that Zay is my other best friend I can confess all my feelings to. I mean, you can't tell your best friend that you like his girlfriend and expect him to be cool with it. I walk to Zay's locker and check my phone. It's 7:40. I have five more minutes until the bell rings for class to start, so I have to make this quick. "Zay, I think I may like Maya Hart." I wait for him to stare at me in disbelief. He does. "What the fuck did you just say? She was my dream girlfriend ever since I saw her and you're trying to take her heart away? You know, like if you married her she'd replace her Hart with a Friar-" "I wasn't kidding bro. I mean it," I raise my arms up as if I'm surrendering, "and I dearly wish I didn't mean it. I'm dating Riley and Maya's dating Farkle.I don't wanna break Riley's heart because I love her also and-" Zay covers my mouth and says. "I'm just wondering one thing. How the hell does Maya like Farkle better than you? You look like some fucking movie star or something." He shuts his locker and starts walking away. "Farkle is actually pretty good looking." I shout back at Zay. He turns to me and says," But not as much as you! Ooh, and we got some larkle feels here! Oh my god!" He walks into his class, which is also my class. The bell rings just as I take my seat. "Alright class, today we'll be learning about the Civil War. There were two sides: the Confederate and the Union. One side of the country wanted slavery, the Confederate, and the other side wanted slaves to be free." I think about how my feelings are like the Civil War. One side wants Maya and the other side wants Riley. "Mr. Friar, what have we been learning about today?" Mr. Matthews taps my desk and I look up at his stern face. He thinks I wasn't paying attention. Lucky for me, I can think and pay attention at the same time. Now that's some cool shit right there. "The Civil War, sir. We were learning about the Confederate and the Union." I reply to my teacher. He looks at me with a proud look as if thinking: That's my son. And for a second I wish I was his son. Because then I wouldn't be able to date Riley and could date Maya.
