Maya is exiting her class and heading for her locker when she runs into Farkle
"Hey Farkle" she greets
"Hey, Maya how was class?" he asks as they continue walking
"It was okay" she answers as they continue walking
"listen I'm in a hurry i have an appointment to get to but i have to find Lucas and give him our notes" Farkle says motioning to a notebook he was holding.
Maya stares at the notebook and at that moment she got an idea
"I can give it to him" she says
"Really?" he asked
Maya nods "Yeah don't worry about it, you head off to your appointment, I'll make sure Lucas gets it"
"Thanks" he says as he hands her the notebook "I'll see you tomorrow" he says as he heads for the exit.
Maya reaches her locker and opens it , putting the notebook inside ,at that moment her best friend appears
"Hey peaches" Riley says
Maya smiles "Hello" she looks over across the hall and sees Lucas arriving to his locker with 2 of his friends
"Oh look theres Lucas" Maya says
"Yeah so" Riley says
"Go talk to him" Maya urges
"Maya I can't just go up to him" she says as she looks at her friend like she is crazy.
"What if you had an excuse?" she asks
"Yeah that would be great, but i don't" Riley says confused at what was going on
Maya pulls the notebook out of her locker and hands it to Riley
"What is this?" she asks looking at it confused
"It's the notes Farkle had to give Lucas, he was in a hurry so now you can give it to him" she says
Riley stares between the notebook and Lucas and then back at Maya.
"Maya I can't" she begins to protest
"Yes you can" Maya insists
"But he's with his friends "
"So, just go" she gives her a push toward Lucas
Riley nervously walks up to him "Hey" she says
Lucas smiles brightly "Hey"
"Lucas we'll catch up with you later " his friends say before walking away and leaving Lucas and Riley alone.
"How are you?" Lucas asks
"I'm good" she answers. She's not sure what to say next but then looks down and sees the book in her hands and remembers her excuse.
"Uh..Farkle had to leave but here are your notes" she says handing him the notebook
"Oh thanks i needed those" he says taking the book from her. "Thank you" he says smiling
"No problem" Riley answers with a small smile
They stay silent neither knowing what else to say
"So.." Lucas begins as he rubs the back of his neck "are you going to the dance this weekend?" he asks
Riley tries to remain calm "Yeah I was thinking about it"
Lucas nods "Cool so maybe i'll see you there?" he asks
