Not So Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 1

Warning! Strong language!

Lucas:

Maya Penelope Hart. I loved that girl since the day she talked to me on the subway when I came to New York. I think that she likes me but I'm not too sure. She's dating Josh, who's 19. And I'm only 18. There was a two year difference between them for a while during the year but usually it was a 3 year difference.

We were at a party. I could clearly tell that I was drunk, Maya was drunk, Josh was drunk, Riley and Farkle were drunk too. They were dancing in the corner, but Maya and Josh were in the centre of the room. It was almost like a blackout. Probably because I got sad watching them together and took 3 more beers.

Maya:

I could see Lucas watching me from the drinks table. I smiled at him but he had turned away. Or I think I smiled. I was too drunk to remember. I lent closer into Josh as he whispered something. I can't remember what it was. I just know later that night I was with Lucas. And then... It was like a blackout.

Josh:

Maya smiled at him. Fuck him! I hated Lucas because it was obvious that he loved Maya. I don't know what I whispered to her, but I know I did. I saw them together later that night. What happened after? I don't know. I can't remember.

                           💮

Lucas:

It was four weeks later. We were at school, talking about the English homework. Maya was being very... Distant. Her phone rang and she searched for it in her purse. Something fell out, but I didn't see what it was because Farkle grabbed it. She stared at him for a long time before grabbing him by the shirt and going around the corner to talk to him.

"Okay! We'll see you later then!" Riley said sarcastically, which made me laugh.

Maya:

"Maya! You... You... You!" Farkle was gasping for air whilst pointing at my stomach. "You're pregnant?" He started to get worried.

It's true. I was pregnant. I had taken the test that morning because my period was late.

"Don't worry, Farkle, you aren't the dad. Well, I don't think you are. Look, it was the night of the party! Okay! I'm sorry."

He said, "Oh, I know I'm not. I wasn't even drunk that night. I pretended I was so I could dance with Riley because I love her!" I was shocked.

"Dude! I could totally hook you up!" I said, walking away. Farkle grabbed me and pulled me back.

"Seriously? Wait, that's not the point. Who's the father then?" I looked down at the ground, expecting it to answer.

"You don't know?" Farkle's face grew softer and he moved closer to me. I cried a tiny bit and Farkle hugged me.

"Please don't tell anyone until I've told the two possible fathers." I pleaded in between sobs.

"I won't. Don't worry. When are you gonna tell them?"

"Tonight. I'll call them round."

"Not by yourself. Tell Riley later and we will hide upstairs in case anything goes wrong." I nodded. "And Maya? You will make a brilliant mother." I smiled at Farkle.

Lucas:

Maya came back round the corner, her face tear-stained. Farkle followed like a little puppy. I was going to ask what was wrong, but the bell went. We all started to walk into our next class when I heard Maya speak to Riley.

"Riles, I need to tell you something at lunch. It's very important."

"Sure, Peaches. Anything for my best friend."

                           💮

Maya:

"Okay, Riles, I don't want you to freak out." I slowly lifted my top. She didn't get it for 2 minutes, but then her face lit up.

"Maya! You're pregnant?" Her smile was from ear to ear. I smiled and giggled a yes. She started to celebrate.

"But Riley, one thing I have to mention. I don't know who the father is." I explained what I said to Farkle, and then told her about my plan for that night. She agreed that she would come for 6.45pm with Farkle as the possible fathers were coming at 7pm.

Yay! Maya's pregnant! Comment who you think the father will be!
