you used to be my dream guy, what happened?
--
MAYA
" I'm sorry I called you fat, I didn't mean it, I swear. You're the most beautiful girl I met and I regret saying that. I am so sorry Maya, I just didn't know-" I cut him off.
I rolled my eyes, " I forgive you, Lucas," I smiled at him.
He chuckled as he looked down, " Well, that was easy," he looked at me.
" Don't make me take that back," I glared as I pointed my index finger at him.
" You love me," he wiggled my finger as he scrunched his nose.
We both laugh as we walked to History.
---
I looked down at my hands. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I started sobbing. I missed him so much.
---
I smirked at him.
" My nose, hurts," he glared at me.
" Oh," I put my hand on my chest," That was certainly my intention then," I smiled.
" Why won't you let me drink water?" he begged me.
" Because I don't want to," I shrugged my shoulders as I walked away.
---
I smiled thinking about the pranks we used to pull on each other. I had tipped his bottle when he was about to take a sip. He chased afterwards and spilled the water on my head. Was I mad at him? No.
---
" You know he texts me every single day asking me tips on how to get you," Riley pointed out.
" Still, he hasn't done anything," I smiled at her.
" Seriously Maya? The constant teasing basically shows that you like him," she pointed out, " The whole school sees both of you as a couple," she raised her hands.
" Yeah, but I bicker with everyone I know," I took a sip of my drink," It's just me having fun," I looked at her.
Riley took out her phone as I saw her go through Lucas' feed and showing it to me, " See! You're the only other person on his feed!" she convinced me.
" It still does not prove that people see us as a couple," I said to her.
" Look at the comments," Riley gave me her phone.
I took it and scrolled through the comments on every picture he had with me. It all said the same thing, 'ship'.
I rolled my eyes as I gave her phone back to her, " Your point?" I asked her.
" Just date already!" she shouted at me.
" No! I don't even like him!" I shouted back.
" Whatever you say, Hart," she said as she exited Starbucks, leaving me there, thinking. Do I like Lucas?
---
Apparently, I did. And I still do now. Despite his behavior change. I like Lucas Friar.
---
" So Lucas told me earlier on that he liked Riley," Farkle told me during Tech.
" What?" I asked him.
" He said that he likes both of you, but is not sure who he likes more," he explained.
I looked to the front to see Lucas and Riley sitting next to each other. They were laughing. Wow. Lucas does like Riley. I guess I'm too late.
" You still like him?" Farkle asked.
" Apparently, yeah," I shrugged my shoulders.
" Then what's holding you back?" he asked me.
" I don't want anything to change," I looked at Lucas and Riley," I looked at the both of then laughing, "But I don't really know what to do anymore," I turned to Farkle with my bottom lip out.
---
Things did change. He started treating me differently, and Riley like a princess. She was a princess to him.
---
" How do I talk to her?" he asked me.
" Just don't be a Lucas," I suggested.
" Funny," he glared.
I smiled at him as I continued to do my art piece. I noticed him glancing at Riley every now and then. It broke me that I can't have him. So I stepped back.
" You like her, don't you?" I nudged his elbow.
" Uh, no shit, Sherlock," he sassed.
" Just start a normal conversation with her. And let whatever happen, happen. Just don't talk like a dick you are," I suggested.
" I don't know whether to thank you, or strangle you," he rolled his lips.
We both laughed as we continued with our own art piece. I could feel him looking at my piece over my shoulder.
" Huh, you really can draw," he complimented me.
" Oh, thanks," I said, not looking at him.
Mostly because I was blushing and didn't want him to know.
---
I blushed at the though of compliments that was constantly given by him everyday when everything was just fine. I didn't want anything to change. It was all already perfect.
And yet, twist and turns came upon the friendship that we had. The changes in us that made everything different.
The changes in Lucas that made me miss him.
