What If I Like You?

*after school later that day*

NO POV:

The kids are at home on their phones when they get a text from a group chat:

R: Hey guys! Wanna go to the mall? Maya there's a sale going on at that store you like and there's a great pizza place there that we can go to.

M: Sure! That sounds great I'll meet you at your house at around 3:30.

R: Ok sounds good. Boys, how about you?

F: Sure! I'll be at your house in 10.

L: Same as Farkle.

R: Ok, see you guys then!

*everyone is at Rylie's house*

"Mom!!" Rylie yells, "We're ready!!"

"Ok one second," Topanga yells back, "I need to get my keys."

*Topanga drives kids to the mall and they get pizza while Topanga goes to a different restaurant*

"I'll be right back," Maya says, "anyone else need to come to the bathroom?"

"I'm good." Rylie and Farkle both say.

"I'll come with you, Maya." Lucas replies.

"Ok hop-a-long, let's mosey on down there then." Maya says in a southern accent in order to mock Lucas.

"Alright ma'am sorry to keep you waiting." Lucas says with his southern accent while tipping an imaginary cowboy hat.

*Maya and Lucas walk across the mall to the bathroom, on their way back Maya slips and Lucas catches her*

"Woah there," Lucas said, "you okay?"

Maya didn't respond for a few seconds.

"Y- yeah," she finally says while she's still in his arms, "I- I'm fine, thank you Ranger Rick."

"My pleasure, Clutterbucket." Lucas responds, still looking into her bright blue eyes.

"Y- you have beautiful eyes, m- Maya."

"Thanks cowboy," she replied, "I could.. stare into your eyes forever."

After minutes of staring into each other's eyes, Lucas leaned in and kissed Maya.

"Oh my god," he thought, "I like Maya!!"
"Oh my god," she thought, "I like Lucas, and he likes me too!!"

Just then, they heard someone clear their throat...
