Texas Shadows

Chapter 2

MAYA'S POV

My eyes lingered watching Lucas throw his arm over Rileys shoulder, starring at her with a look of passion and desperation all at the same time.

They walked towards the building, not looking back. Farkle's works broke my trance
"So, I hear I have first class with you" he chuckled We all do, its Matthews."I added not really in the mood for his humor. He moves from my side to in front of me. He stops and stares at me, looking around making sure everyone has left.

"Are you okay?, its like ever since you came back from Texas you haven't been happy." "I'm fine?" Hoping he would get the hint and leave.
"Maya..." His words cut sharp, but still just the right amount to get the truth out of me, I wouldent give in. "Just drop it, okay?" I walked past him, knowing he was staring but never looked back

Matthews talked and talked but I wasn't listening. All that raced through my mind was what the hell happened to Lucas.
We were in Texas one week, one amazing kiss under the stars, under the fucking starts and he comes back, still dating Riley?

I began to feel angry like I needed to yell or scream at someone, something, it didn't matter, knowing that I couldent. I watched the seconds hand on the clock, it seemed so slow.

The scream of the bell made me jump, but before anyone could say anything to me I ran out of the classroom, looking around panicked trying to find an empty room. The plastic sign flashed as my eyes scanned it, I could hear footsteps behind me as I slipped into the room. In the dark, I leaned against a shelf of cleaning supplies, hearing my own heartbeat.

I heard a knock followed behind by a faint voice "Maya..." I instantly knew. I didn't say anything but the room brightened as the door opened slowly and his face appeared clear as day. I must've looked insane.

"Lucas" He flicked on the light, I half expected it to blind me, but the room lit up just enough that I could see his chiseled features through the shadows.

"Are you okay?" he looked generally concerned. "If everyone keeps asking me that than, no" I laughed, leaning forward putting my hands on my knees.

"Maya" His words pried. I know I should tell him the truth, but how do I tell my best friend that I love him while hes dating my other best friend? "Im fine Lucas" My voice cracked as I talked. A tear formed in my eye. His expression told me he noticed it too.

He took a few steps forward and wrapped me in his arms, this time I didn't hesitate and my arms flew around him also. We stood there for a minute or so, but I didn't count. He pulled away but put his hands on my arms, more gently than I would have thought. "Maya, don't lie to me."

I didnt want to.
