Monday...

[Lucas' POV;]

I stood at my locker with some guys before school. Everyone was buzzing about how great Friday's party was. I received a few high-fives from random people passing by us in the halls, congratulating me on scoring the winning touchdown.

"Yeah, Lucas sure did score that night." one of the guys, Jacob commented and the rest of the guys started laughing as he patted me on the back. "How was she?"

I chuckled and shook my head, "What the hell are you talking about, dude?"

"Come on we all saw you head upstairs with Hart." Anthony spoke up. "Was she good? I mean we've all heard the stories about her."

Zay and I shared a look. He shrugged and leaned against the locker. "When have you ever been so shy to talk about a girl you hooked up with?"

Before I could answer, the chatter-filled hallway fell silent. I followed everyone else's gaze and saw Maya nervously walking through the crowd of students. I could hear people whisper, and a few whistles. Jacob and Anthony patted me on the back and whispered, "There she is."

I looked down the hall and locked eyes with her. My gaze followed her until she reached her locker at the other end of the hall. "Poor girl, It must suck being the school whore."

Ignoring Anthony, I made my way over to Maya and leaned on the locker next to hers. "Alright, so people know."

She stopped putting books in her locker and looked at me. "I could hear them calling me a slut, Lucas. I heard them talking about how easy I am."

"Well don't listen to them, you're none of those things."

"Were you bragging about it to the Anthony and Jacob? I heard what he said." She looked down at her feet and sighed. "This is freshman year all over again."

"I didn't say anything to them, okay? You know how they are." I took her hand and intertwined our fingers.

"What happens now?"

"Well-" Before I could get a word out, Anthony and Jacob came up behind Maya.

"Let her down easy Friar, it'd be disappointing if she actually thought she meant something to you."

Maya rolled her eyes and turned to face them. "Don't you meat heads have something better to do?"

Anthony started playing with her wavy blonde hair and smirked. "Aw that's cute; she's trying to be tough."

"I will break both of you." She smacked his hand away. When she turned to face me, a pair of hands grabbed her waist and pulled her back, which made her gasp.

"Babe, we just want some of what Lucas got."

She pushed Jacob away from her and shot him a death glare. "You don't get to touch me like that."

"Why? It's not my fault that you have such a nice ass." He reached out to grab it, but Maya back away.

She whipped her head around and looked up at me, waiting for me to react. I looked between her and my friends, not knowing what to do. "Everyone else got to have some fun, we just want a turn."

"Are you really just gonna let them talk to me like this?"

I bit my lip and looked down at her. I panicked and answered without thinking. "I don't know what you want me to do sweetheart. I mean you were a good time, just as everyone said you were. Give me a call if you ever want to have some more fun."
