It's About Time (GMW - Joshaya)

Chapter 39

Maya's POV

"Alright then, game on bitches..." I broke the huddle. "Let's go guys, we have a game to win," I linked arms with Lucas and Smackle and winked back at Riley, Zay, and Farkle.

Riley responded with a clawed hand and a cat hiss and then we both led our teams to our room for the remaining 2 minutes before the game officially began.

"Okay, let's look at what we have here," Lucas grabbed the paper from my hand.

"Well there, someone is a little grabby."

"So I'll calculate the time we can spend on each task--"

"Or...we can strategize what to do first, what we can actually do, and just get it done as fast as possible," Lucas suggested.

"I like that plan, it doesn't involve math," I said twirling my hair.

"I say we start with all of the things that we can do at a bar then. I'm gonna need a little bit of a buzz if I'm gonna be doing some of these things," Smackle said looking at the paper.

Riley's POV

"Okay so I say that we pick a bullet that has a location and then on our way to that location, we can just complete whatever we come across. This way we aren't just running around all over the place," I offered my opinion.

"Well what about the bar? We will go to the usual aka The Savage and then on the way we will just do whatever we can."

"I'm in," I agreed.

"Farkle?" Zay asked.

"Umm yea. Sorry." Farkle twiddled with his thumbs.

"You okay Farkle?" I chimed in.

"Yea, I'm just a little distracted. I have a lot on my mind right now."

"Ya wanna talk about it, bud?" Zay put a hand on Farkle's shoulder.

"Not yet. I'll tell you guys later. It's not bad--at least I hope not," he responded.

"Okay...a little cryptic, but we'll take your word I guess," I squinted my eyes unsure of whether or not to let this go.

"Come on. Tonight is about fun. Worry free. Hakuna My TATAS," Zay said, grabbing his imaginary boobs.

"It's Hakuna Matata, you nitwit," Farkle teased. There's the Farkle smile that we are used to.

"Come on guys. Let's go. I don't plan on losing tonight...I wanna show Maya I can be badass, gloat to Smackle that I beat her in something, and kick Lucas's cute little tush," I tried to put on my best game face.

Maya's POV

As soon as the clock struck 7. Lucas, Smackle, and I darted out of the apartment. About a minute later, we heard the door slam down the hall.

"Shit. Come on elevator, come on. Quick. Please," I begged pressing the button a million times in hope that it would speed it up.

Ding.

The 3 of us scurried into the elevator. Smackle mimicked my worrisome behavior from before and nearly broke the door close button.

As the door began to close, we came face to face with Riley, Farkle, and Zay.

"Don't even bother guys. What our combined intellectual inferiors fail to realize is that taking the stairs will be quicker," Farkle let out his infamous laugh, yanked Riley and Zay, and headed for the stairs as the elevator door sealed shut.

"FUCKKKKKKKKK," I sighed and slid down the side of the elevator wall.

"Come on Maya," Smackle held out her hand. "It's only a slight delay, we can make up that time."

"As soon as those doors open we are booking it for that bar. Do not stop. Just run and we can take a breather when we get there," Lucas instructed.

"Yea that's great and all Lightening McQueen, but we're not all baseball super stars like you," I pointed out. "I don't doing running."

"Maya's right," Smackle tied her hair up in a bun.

"Wow, I never thought I would hear those words in my life," I smile proudly.

"Sorry Maya, but you're wrong," Lucas frowned.

"Awww, way to burst my bubble. But how do you suppose Huckleberry?" I crossed my arms.

"You just need a little motivation. Smackle. If you can come within 10 seconds of beating me to the bar, I'll let you kiss me," Lucas began. "And Maya, well..." he paused

"Well...?" I pressed the issue.

He waited until the doors started to open. "Well, you're just a short stack of pancakes." And before I could even process his words Lucas and Smackle started running.

"I'm gonna get you Hop Along," I put my hands in fists and started running behind them.

***Author's Note (Please Read!!) : I'm gonna get more into the events of the night but I want to reiterate that you guys should comment below on which events in the game you want to see off the list. Please, please, please respond. I'm super indecisive so it will help speed up those updates. I'll try to do at least the ones that you guys request and any other's that I feel are necessary to the story. Other than that, I don't want to go into detail with all of them because it will take up like 20 chapters. haha. So please comment below or even inbox me your suggestions. And do you guys have any guesses as to what Farkle's secret is? I have it planned out, but I would love to hear some predictions. It's gonna unravel pretty soon.
