The story of us

Traingle

I cannot believe I ever told him, why did I have to burst at such a horrible moment. I'm still reeling about my emotional explosion that happened in Texas. Sure I knew I had feelings for him, sure it was killing me, but I was coping. Now everything's complicated, everything's strained, and awkward.

"Hey maya" I hear someone say, but I don't answer I'm too far gone in my own thoughts to process it.

"Maya" it persists, making me cringe.  I finally look up and see Riley standing high above me with her books in her hands. I look around, and notice class is out.

"Sorry riles, lost track of time" I say gathering my loose papers that were strewn across my desk

"What's wrong?" She asks as we leave the classroom, I panic no more explosive emotions

"Nothing, just family stuff" I lie guilt instantly racking my body, she stiffens, and my eyes follow her direction. Lucas the cause of all this stress.

"Hey guys, farkle wanted me to tell you guys were eating in the science room" he says his hands in his pocket, and a small smile gracing his perfect lips.

"Why?" I ask curiosity creeping over me

"He and smackle have an assignment due" he says his eyes staring into mine, I know my face flushes.

We get to the science room and see farkle and smackle hunched over a bunch of test tubes.

"Hey nerds what you cooking up?" I ask plunking down on a stool across from them

"Nerds, that offensive" smackle says with a stiff face

"No Isabella, Maya means it in a complimentary way" farkle says not even looking up, smackle nods, and goes back to work. It's crazy how much they understand each other. 

"Seriously guys what are you doing?" Riley asks sipping on her grape juice box

"We're designing a formula to dissolve matter" farkle says a devious smile on his face.

"Okay" Riley replies turning her stool towards me.

"Maya seems stressed doesn't she" Riley says loudly if I may add.

"What, I'm not" I defend she just tilts her head in my direction and says

"Yes, you definitely Are"  I cringe, hoping she won't notice. 

"What's wrong maya?" He asks sounding incredibly sincere.

"Nothing huckleberry, so stop asking" I say angrily, and he nods. I feel guilty for yelling at him when he was just asking, but it's his fault that I have this amount of stress.

"Maya, be nice" Riley says glaring at me, I nod slowly, but don't apologize. it's weird, I though for sure Lucas would tell Riley that I practically told him I liked him, but she hasn't said anything to me. he was probably just trying to save his ass, who am I kidding, he did it so I wouldn't feel embarrassed. Lunch flew by extremely fast, and it was sort of angering me that Riley, and Lucas were hardly including me in their special discussion.

"peaches" Riley says as we're walking to class

"Yes, Riles" I ask pushing my bag higher on my back, she giggles.

"I think me, and Lucas are official" she says causing me to stop in the middle of the hall, bumping everyone, sh looks at me shocked

"What's wrong?" she asks pushing towards Mathews class

"Nothing, what happened to make you think that?" I ask hoping i don't sound how i feel.

"Well, at lunch he told me he wanted to talk, and I think he's finally going to ask to be official" she says  practically skipping through the halls. We finally got to the class and everyone was already sitting.
