In another life // Riley & Maya

My diary

January 26th
Shawn bought me this diary. He told me that when he was my age he used to have a notebook that his dad gave him to write in to leave a legacy. Shawn's dad has one too, and when he died, Shawn got to read it. The tradition has lived on, but since he doesn't have a son or a daughter really I guess I'm his "daughter figure"
I guess I should introduce myself since one day I'm going to die and someone's going to find this, so hi. I'm Maya Penelope Hart. Let me give you a quick life summary.
Mom and dad had me young. They didn't have a lot of money and neither of them finished college. Dad left when I was 5, leaving my mom to take care of me on her own. Met my best friend, Riley, who is still the most important person in my life to this day. Then there's Farkle, and Ranger Rick or "Lucas" as some people call him. Me and Riley have always had a triangle with Lucas. I like him, she likes him but Lucas can't decide.
There's a quick summary- oh and I'm in high school too. I go to Abigail Quincy Adams high school in the big apple, New York, and I love to paint.
Today is Sunday. Some people say Sunday funday, but no. That's not the case for me. Sunday's are always boring. Riley goes to church so there's no one for me to talk to. Moms at work. But this Sunday's going to be different. We're going to Texas to visit Zay and Ranger Ricks home again. Last time, things happened with me and Lucas, and that's when I figured out I had feelings for him. But this time would be different, because I've kind of lost my affection for Lucas. Things are different now, and I just don't feel the same way I did.
Anyways, I'm packing now. My flight leaves later today, and Mr. Matthews is driving me.
Bye diary.

Maya's POV
I put my diary away. I packed a few t-shirts, shorts, pants and long sleeves just in case it was cold. Then I packed my hair accessories and a little bit of makeup. I grabbed my phone charger and put that in my bag too. Soon enough I got a text from Riley:
"We're here! Hope ur ready! On the way up to help u with ur suitcases" it read.
I waited by the door with all of my bags. I heard a knock and opened the door to Riley's bright face.
"Hiii!" She said.
I smiled. "Hey Riles. You ready?"
She nodded. I quickly wrote my mom a note that read
"Gone to Texas now with Riley. I love you, call me anytime. Xo, Maya."
Riley took my biggest suitcase while I took my carry on and bag. We went into the elevator and walked outside into the cold New York air. It truly was freezing.
"I hope it's nicer than this in Texas" I mumbled under my breath.
Mr. Matthews pulled up right by the main entrance of the apartment. He got out and helped us out my luggage in the car.
Topanga was in the car as well. Me and Riley got in the car, and she looked back at us.
"You girls exited?" She asked.
We both nodded and smiled.
The car ride to the airport was a silent one. I was already tired, and I could tell Riley was too. She was almost asleep! Eventually we were at the airport.
Me and Riley both got out. She gave her mom and dad a kiss and hug goodbye, and I gave them a hug. We both walked into the airport waving goodbye to the Matthew's.
"I'm so tired." Riley said to me.
"I know you are sweetie, so am I." I said back to her.
We were in the airport and met up with Farkle and Lucas who were waiting at our gate. After going through security and everything just so we could board a plane, we were all pretty hungry, so we went to the nearest restaurant.
We heard our boarding call, and it was time to go, so we all boarded the plane. Riley sat next to me, and Lucas sat next to Farkle. I was exited, we all were, and this Texas trip was going to be better than the last.
