[Maya's Bedroom] [Maya's POV]

Sitting on my bed, bored, I wait for something interesting to happen. To my surprise, I got a text. I opened the message, expecting it to be Riley. To my surprise, it was Lucas? 


Lucas:  𝙷𝚎𝚢 𝙼𝚊𝚢𝚊, 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝙸 𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚐𝚞𝚢𝚜. 𝙻𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚋𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙸 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚠𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝙸 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚞 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚠𝚊𝚢.

Maya: 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚍𝚒𝚍𝚗'𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚁𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢? 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚞 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚖𝚎?

He had to have Zay remind him to not forget me?? That is such bullshit. Ugh, he's a jerk why did I ever like him? 

Ugh, I'm bored so I head to Riley's. I crawl into Riley's bedroom window and sit down. "Hey Riles." "Peaches! Guess what?" She asks excitedly. 

"What?" 

"Lucas is coming back this weekend!" She practically chokes me in a hug. 

"Great." I say sarcastically. "You aren't happy?" She looks at me concerned. I shrug. She knows I don't like him. She needs to stop trying to get me to like him. She looks at me as her expression turns serious. "Maya, I have something I need tell you." I look at her confused "go ahead." 

"You know how you liked Lucas, when we were in Texas? Well I didn't and don't like him. In a romantic way. When we were in Texas, I thought you didn't actually like him like that, and I pretended to. I'm sorry, I know you had feelings for him, and I made it so you had to keep those feelings to yourself. I feel awful. And it's my fault that Lucas moved away. My dad called in a few favors and transferred his father's job because I'm in love with someone else. I was selfish, and I'm really sorry. And.... I know that your in love with Lucas, and he's in love with you." 

I stood with my jaw hanging open. "What?! First of all, Riley why would you do that? Secondly, I don't love Lucas I hate him!" "I did it because I love someone who isn't Lucas, and I was jealous, and I thought your feelings were fake. But no Maya, I see the way you look at him when you think no one else is paying attention, your eyes light up when he says your name. Maya, your in love with him.  And it's pretty obvious." When she said that I felt like she could see right through me. My eyes started to tear up. "You don't tell anyone. Got it?" "Maya, I won't tell anyone, but you have to admit to your feelings." I stared her straight in the eyes, and left, crawling out the bedroom window, with tear drops in my eyes.
