Chapter Three

Sunday September 27, 2016 ~ 6:00pm

Dear Diary,

Sunday fun day, right? Wrong. I did nothing fun today. My parents wouldn't even let me leave the house and I have no idea why. Half of me thinks they found out about our little spin the bottle game, but I always let that thought slip my mind because I have no idea who in the group would tell their parents we played a game like that. Plus, if they did find out, they would have confronted me right? Because they would want to make sure I knew that those types of games only lead to pain and hurt feelings. Maybe, I don't know anymore. They focus more on Auggie now then me, because he is getting older and dealing with his own set of problems and he is beginning to take on the world. Which I think is completely unfair because I couldn't start taking on the world, whatever that means by now, until I was thirteen, but Auggie is only eight. Whatever. I just want to get out of this house, and if school tomorrow is the only way, then so be it.

Be back......

6:30pm

Or I won't be getting out of the house tomorrow because of school. Apparently we have an institute day for the teachers to go in and discuss the curriculums and stuff, and the kids get off. So yay to no school, but crap to be stuck inside all day long. I don't really have anything else to say, so I guess that's all for today. What a boring day on my part. I need a life. Oh wait, I have a life, my parents don't want me to though. Whatever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10:00pm

Before I sleep to avoid my boredom, my plans for tomorrow. I realized my parents are both at work all day long until at least four in the afternoon and Auggie usually goes over to Ava's, so I can just send him over that way. So that means I can have people over. I have a set plan of motion and steps that I can follow that will lead Lucas in my direction and out of Maya's little grasp.

1~ Invite everyone over tonight, already done. But I told Lucas that everyone was getting here half an hour earlier than what I told everyone else. I made sure to ask if he and Maya would ride together and he said no because he is out of gas and doesn't have the money for it right now so they are both walking separately. I'm just hoping Lucas and Maya don't talk about what time they are coming over. And if they do, maybe Lucas will just say nine and Maya will assume he meant thirty after.

2~ Make sure to wake up early and get all pretty. Don't put on a lot of makeup, but more than usual. Make sure it is still a natural look though, so no one notices that much of a difference. Put on the cute outfit I picked out already, which consist of a tight, light pink crop top that shows off my chest and then a black high raise skirt that falls right above my knees, and don't forget the deep red cardigan.

3~ Lucas gets here earlier than everyone else and you play it off like you have no idea why. If he asks what time everyone was supposed to be here, say thirty after nine and then tell him his message must've had a typo and it said nine instead.

4~ Make up some sad story so Lucas will comfort me. I'll probably use the fact that my parents are being unreasonable and that I am not getting any attention what-so-ever. He is Lucas, he cares too much about everybody, so he will care. We will sit down on the couch, of course I will have a drink in my hand. I will lean up against him on his shoulder, putting my head in the crook of his neck. Then I will go to take a drink and spill it on purpose, of course making it look like an accident. Then I will suggest he takes his shirt off so I can go throw it in the washer and then dryer, and I can give him one of my dad's shirts. But of course, the drink spilled though onto his skin because liquids leak through clothes obviously, so I will grab a napkin and wet it, and then walk over to him and start cleaning it up for him. Hopefully Maya will walk in then, she is usually pretty early, but not too early, to gatherings like this one.

5~ Maya sees us, Lucas tries to explain, I try to explain, but hopefully Maya doesn't give us time to explain, instead she yells at us and storms out of my house. I tell Lucas that it is better to leave Maya to figure out her feelings on her own, I know this because we have been best friends since we were five. And I hope that Lucas listens to me. Then we continue with the gathering of our friends.

6~ Maya gets pissed that Lucas is not going to look for her and fix things. But, I will go to her, because I cannot lose Maya altogether as a friend. I will explain what happened, but leave out and add in a few details here and there to make it seem like Lucas was interested in me, but I'm not interested in him. Maya will be upset for two reasons. One, that Lucas has feelings for another girl and almost acted on it. Two, that he lied to her about not feeling anything in the kiss him and I shared.

7~ I return to the gathering most likely without Maya because she will not want to talk to Lucas or even just see him for that matter. Everyone leaves except Lucas because I told everyone until only one o'clock. Lucas stays to help me clean up because he is a good friend. I go into the laundry room to get his shirt for him, he follows me so he can change and then throw my dad shirt in the hamper in the laundry room.

8~ Lucas may make a move on me, but I doubt it. I don't think it will happen that fast, I am definitely not expecting it. I know he likes Maya and is not going to get over her that fast. But if he does make a move, let him. See how far he would take it, and if he takes it too far, he is obviously just uses me to get over Maya. So stop him, but make sure to keep him wanting more.

9~Tell Lucas he has to leave because my parents should be home soon and I have to get Auggie from his friend's house. Lucas leaves. The day is over and I may or may not have Lucas a little more interested in me.

I hope this plan works, but only time will tell. I really hope I don't lose Maya as a friend though, she means a lot to me. I just miss the good old days when there were no guys in our lives but Farkle, and he loves us both the same. I miss when Maya was more like my sister than my friend, and I miss the Ring Power we used to share. I still have mine on my key chain, but Maya doesn't know that. Maya stopped wearing hers a little after her and Lucas started dating because we were too old for childish friendship rings, and because why wear It when we, and everyone else, know that we are best friends anyway. I think she actually took it off because Lucas gave her a ring for her birthday and it fit the same finger that ours did, so she just replaced mine with that from Lucas. I was replaced.

I wonder if Farkle is going to show up tomorrow. He has been acting kind of weird and awkward around me lately. I'm not sure why, but if I might lose Maya, I can't lose Farkle. I can't lose Farkle even if I don't lose Maya, he is just too valuable to me.

Okay, I have to sleep now. I have to be up at like 7:30 to get ready for when the party starts. Fingers crossed that it goes well.

I'll report back tomorrow evening, Riley.

Author's Note

Sorry for this short and non-eventful chapter. I'm not sure I really like this writing style and I don't know where I am going with this book, but I do know how it is going to end, so I guess that's good. I don't know if I want to continue this story or not, but all three of my friends that read my stories on Wattpad say this one is their favorite, so I want to continue for them. I will try to update again by the end of next weekend.
