Picking Up The Broken Pieces

Chapter 2- Bay Window

(Maya's POV)

    " Bay Window right now." Riley yelled, scaring the shit out of me. She grabbed my hand and pulled me all the way to her house and sat down.
    " Cameron likes me! How come you did not tell me?"
    " I know we're best friends, but he told me not to tell you."
    " No, I'm not mad I am just surprised. I never thought a guy like him would like me." I rolled my eyes as Riley said that because I had known for five months now that he loved her.
    " You understand that there is no circumstance in which you can tell Cameron that you know about his crush." I told Riley because I didn't want Cameron's feelings to vanish because it is very rare that he likes anyone because he is so shy and thinks hope is for suckers like I used to believe. I hope he can overcome that.
    " We should invite all of you guys to your house and we could have dinner." I wanted to invite Lucas to my house just because who wouldn't want your crush to see you in a fancy dress, but I didn't want to seem desperate.
    " Who will you invite?" Rikey asked.
    " Cameron because he lives here and I have to," I heard Riley sigh and get nervous,
    " Farkle and Zay anyone missing?"
    " Duh, Lucas." She looked into my eyes and I stood there trying not to blush, but I couldn't help but be a nervous reck. Riley looked at me smiling, acting like she knew something, and I expected the worst.
    " I know that you like Lucas."
    " No that's ridiculous." I looked away and bit my lip, but she could see through me like a window.
    " Come here," she hugged me and said, " I know you like him. You blush every time he is mentioned. Plus you accidentally rambled that you liked him and how you talked to Cameron about it."
    " Fine, but you fell for him too. Do you still like him?"
    " Remember what happened the campfire; there is nothing you could do, Maya."
    " Okay, did I ever tell you what happened between Lucas and I at the campfire?"
    " No what happened. Spill it now!"
    " He found out on his own that I liked him beause he openly asked me if I liked him trying to get me to admit it to him, but I wouldn't, so instead he asked me why I always tease him. I told because your a Ranger Rick and a Huckleberry. I went to HAHURR in his face but he grabbed my head and went in for a kiss. I swear I could feel his lips touch mine and in that instant all of my suspicion about him liking me was true. I was ready to kiss him, but then he pulled his head back in fear. I wish I would have known that he loved me. If I would have, I would have pulled his head back in and kissed him softly to tell him that I loved him, but I was scared because it was so sudden. That's what I love about him though; he cares about my feelings before his own. He didn't know if I would be comfortable kissing him, but I would have probaly been scared at first because it wasn't slow like the movies, and that's most likey the reason he pulled back.
    " I am making you to sit next to or across from each other," she told me.
    " Well I am doing the same with you". I could tell she looked nervous, but I think they would both be nervous, which it was kind of good to get them out of their comfort zones.
    I walked into the kitchen with Riley and started talking to my mom about the party
    " Can I have a few friends over?" I asked with my high child voice hopping for a quick yes.
    " Depends who it is?" she asked suspiciously."
    " Maya, my mom says I have to go home now." Riley hugged me and went out the door.
    " Lucas," I said his name supper fast, hoping that she wouldn't care that I was inviting my crush over to my house, " My mom smiled when I said his name.
    "Farkle, Zay, and Cameron because he lives here." I continued.
    " What about Riley's boyfriend, Charlie."
" Mom, x-boyfriend."
    " You really have a lot of stories to tell me, don't you?"
    " Did I tell you about Charlie at New Years, and about Lucas and I at the campfire? " I asked her. I knew I needed her advice about Lucas.
    " No! What happened? You have to tell me now!" Katy asked like a child being told they could get ice-cream.
    " Sit down right and tell me everything!!!"
    " Okay, but can I have that party?"
    " Yes, but what kind of party?"
    " Pizza party, and we would play games and stuff."
    " Okay, now tell me about Lucas and Charlie."
