Lucas's P.O.V
I make myself a crappy Hot Pocket and sit on my dusty ass couch. God. Hot Pockets are literally the easiest food to make and the bottom is burned. I think about the phone call between Riley and I just a minute ago. I remember her saying the words, "I really like you Lucas. Just... Don't tell Maya please. We can make this work, can't we?"

The crisp memory of me saying "Of course we can.. I swear I won't tell Maya about us..."

I throw the Hot Pocket out and hear a doorbell. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I straighten my navy blue shirt and run my hand through my hair. I jog towards the door and see Maya standing there in a green bomber jacket and skinny jeans. Does she know about Riley and I? God no.

"Hey Lucas.. Um listen. I still like you.. I just can't stand being friends. I-listen... I always felt we were... Closer... Than you and Riley.. You know what I mean?"

I think, closer? What the hell Maya, you never even liked me until that time..

"Uh, go on." I say, indicating for her to continue.

"Well... Could we go behind her back? Riley's back? And just date or something? I just... I wanna date you, but I don't wanna hurt Riley's feelings. I know I'm like... A bad friend or something... But-"

"Sure Maya." I say in a shaky voice as I grab her by her waist and kiss her, trying to hide how I really feel. What she doesn't know won't hurt her, will it?
