Bucket List: A Girl Meets World Story

Chapter 4

Hello, non-existent readers! I'm here with a new chapter that is sure to make my fellow Lucaya shippers happy ;)

Knowing that his friends had completed the threesome and he'd taken no part in it gave Farkle a sense of security, and he rejoined them in completing the bucket list, feeling safe.

          The group now gathered together in Maya's apartment, and Maya pulled out the piece of paper once more. As she rolled it open and let it lay flat on her bed, she treated it as though if she were too rough in handling it, all the things they had to accomplish would fall apart. Perhaps it would. The group would never know though, because not a soul dared to be anything but gentle with the list.

          "Okay," the blonde said, as she smoothed out the edges of the piece of parchment onto her sheets, "I overlooked the next too tasks and realized that if we try hard enough, we could get them both done." She looked around at her companions, grinning. "In the same night."

          Riley squealed, Lucas and Farkle high-fived, and Maya applauded herself. "Yes, yes." She said, chuckling loudly. "I'm a genius, I know. Don't flatter me."

          The group stopped cheering, and Maya looked at them, knitting her eyebrows together. "That was sarcasm. Definitely flatter me."

          So, they broke back into the excitement, clapping rambunctiously, Lucas cheering the loudest, for some strange reason. Riley was exceptionally confused by the volume of his applause. She stopped clapping, which triggered Farkle to stop, then Lucas.

          "What are the two tasks?" asked the Texan boy.

          "Well, Huckleberry," began Maya. Lucas chuckled and shyly looked down at the mention of his nickname she'd given him so many years ago. "The first thing we'll accomplish tonight is breaking into a movie theater, and secondly, we'll spend the night—on the roof of a gas station."

          Her friends nodded, impressed. "That sounds fun." Riley outputted, pulling her hair to the back of her head and tying it into a long ponytail.

           "Oh, believe me," Maya said, rolling the bucket list back up, "it will be."

          "So, when will we be going?" Farkle asked, looking at his three friends.

          "Right now." Maya responded, tucking about the piece of parchment she'd rolled up into her desk drawer.

          "Right now?!" asked Riley, her mouth hanging. "But your mom's home! We'll never make it past her!"

"Oh, yes, we will." Maya grinned, rubbing her hands on her jeans as she walked over to her window and opened it with ease. She turned back to her friends, an easy smirk still plastered on her face.

"We're going out the window." Lucas said, smacking himself in the forehead as if it were the easiest solution possible.

"Remember on the Halloween of seventh grade, when you and I scared the girls in our masks by coming up through the window?" Farkle nudged Lucas, smiling deviously at the memory.

Lucas looked over to Maya, his lips curling upward. "Yeah," he said, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I do."

"Enough chatter!" Maya exclaimed, stepping partially out the window. "Well, aren't you coming?" She excused herself completely, disappearing and consuming herself into the darkness. Her friends could hear her gentle footsteps as the rebellious made her way down the fire escape, sure they would follow.

And they did.

After walking about three blocks, the core four found themselves at their local movie theater, ducking down in some bushes. They watched a security guard who was staring down everything and anything that moved closely. From what they could tell, his name tag read Lenny.
