It's About Time (GMW - Joshaya)

Chapter 33

Maya's POV

I napped in my bed for about an hour and a half until I heard a knocking on my door that startled me. "Come in!"

"Oh my god. Sorry did I wake you up?" she said apologetically.

"It's okay I gotta get up and get ready for tonight anyways. Any word from Farkle and Smackle?" I yawned.

"Yea..."

"And...?" 

"They took off the rest of this week! And Lucas, Zay, and I are off this week," she clapped her hands repeatedly. "Yaaaayyyyy! So we all have off tomorrow and I assume you're not picking up a shift at work." 

Ughhh 'work.' It wasn't even a real job. I was a bakery artist at Topanga's. And don't get me wrong, it was fun and I got to design some really awesome desserts, but it wasn't a full time job like everyone else had. It was temporary.

"Nope. No work, I don't have much to do until Friday when I have to make the cake for the wedding." 

"Perfect! Well...I'll let you get ready. I'm gonna go call the salon and banquet hall to confirm everything so that my mom doesn't have to."

"Awww do I have to get up? I'm tired mom. Five more minutes," I jokingly whined. 

"Come on...what if I put on a little music," she smiled devilishly. 

"No," I pouted.

"Oh you just wait Maya. You can't resist the music. I know you," she whipped out her phone and instantaneously clicked on whatever song she had in mind. She turned on my speaker and connected her phone to it. Suddenly, Come Clean by Hilary Duff was blaring from the speaker. Like a fool, Riley started flailing her arms and spinning in circles. Or in other words, what she likes to call 'dancing.' "Let the rain fall down and wake my  dreams. Let it wash away my sanity."

She was right; I couldn't resist anymore. "'Cause I wanna feel the thunder I wanna scream," I joined in belting the lyrics and dancing with Riley. 

After we went through our improvised musical number of Come Clean, Riley left me alone so that I could get ready and so that she could make whatever phone calls she had to make.

I quickly got myself ready for tonight with a shower, a clean outfit, and some fresh makeup. When I was done, I walked into the kitchen as Riley was just getting off the phone. "Hey so I'm thinking that maybe we order some pizzas for tonight. What do you think?"

"Ooooh yea, that sounds amazing right now. I'll check with everyone else and see what they want on their pizzas," she said picking her phone back up to text the group chat.

Ping. Ping. 

"Wow that was fast," I raised an eyebrow. "These people must really be hungry."

Ping.

"Okay so, Zay wants pepperoni. Lucas--" Ping. Another Response. "Sorry, anyways. Lucas wants Hawaiian. Smackle said cheese. Farkle said he will have a little of everything. I'm all for cheese. What about you Maya?" 

"Cheese please! And maybe I'll have a little pepperoni."

"Okay so maybe 2 large pies: one cheese, one half pepperoni and half Hawaiian. Good?" she asked.

"Yea that should be good, but can we order soon? I'm starving as well," I rubbed my stomach as it growled a little.

"Yea, I'll call now and ask them to deliver around 5:45."

Riley and I watched some tv while we waited in the living room for everyone and in my opinion, the more important pizza. Just kidding but I was really excited about the pizza.
