Maya Hart Wants a Cowboy

Friends

MAYA

The bus finally came to its stop. Everybody was unloading, but Lucas and I decided to wait because everyone else around us was standing. Riley and Farkle did the same thing.

As soon as Mr.Matthews got off the bus, Riley and Farkle started kissing. It was cute how Riley kept smiling in between kisses and gross at the same time.

"Barf in mouth," Lucas turned and whispered to me.

I start to quietly laugh and he smiles. His smile makes me feel warm inside. Why can't I just say, Hey! I like you? Oh wait, I would sound so stupid!

Then a thought hits me, "Hey Huckleberry..."

"Yeah?" he smiles.

"Why have you let me hold onto your hand this entire time?" I raise our hands, still interlocked.

He looks down at them too,"I don't know... friends making each other feel calm?"

"Right, uh... yeah." As I say that, Lucas stands up to grab our stuff.

He's always throwing around that word, friends. Why doesn't he want to be more than friends?

LUCAS

Friends. Why do I keep throwing that word around? Is that what Maya wants? I mean, we held hands the entire bus ride, but it was just a comforting gesture. Right?

Mr.Matthews hands out room keys and maps of the place to everyone. Girls go to their rooms on the right side of the resort, when boys go to the left. Farkle, Zay, and I settled in quickly to our room. I got the single bed, Farkle on the bottom bunk, and Zay on the top.

It was a nice room. Mini fridge, microwave, a bathroom with two sinks, a tv, couch, and a window. It was homely.

"Sooooooo..." Farkle started, glancing over at Zay.

"Us guys need to stick together during this trip, because I sense drama coming in these two weeks. Therefore we gotta tell each other everything so we can help each other out. Deal?"

"I agree Farkle" Zay says, "Lucas?"

"Deal!" I respond somewhat distracted.

"Lucas what's going on with you and Maya?" Farkle said.

"Nothing" I say, a bit too quickly.

"Dude, tell each other everything remember?" Zay sighs.

"No really... nothing is going on that's the thing!" I say, flopping backwards onto my bed.

"Do you want something to be going on?" Zay smirks.

"Of course I do! Maya and I are just friends, but sometimes it seems like she likes me and other times like she's avoiding me or scared of me. UGGGGH!"

"Don't you think she wants be with you? She clearly likes you, something is just... stopping her," Zay says.

"Herself!" Farkle randomly blurts out.

"What?" I sit up.

"I gotta go! I never said that!" Farkle talks quickly then turns around and rushes out the room.

Zay and I just look at each other, but soon shrug it off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is it just me or does Farkle not know how to hold secrets? BTW, he knows about Maya's pills and depression and her distancing herself from Lucas. She's the only one who knows that's not an adult.

Farkle, dude, what drama have you just created (evil laugh)?

Did you like it? Let me know!
