I'm Always Okay (Lucaya)

Chapter 4

Maya wakes up at 10:30 the next morning to several texts from her friends. 

9:00- Riley: Peaches! We miss you!! Come hang out at Topanga's!

                       Wow

                       It's weird typing my mom's name out 

                      Come hang out at my mommy's cafe!!

                     That's better :)

She huffs out a laugh at her best friend's silliness.

9:18- Farkle: Maya you told me things were okay, but you won't even reply to Riley. What's going on? 

He's really getting suspicious, Maya should probably start trying harder to be convincingly happy.

9:31- Zay: Riley made me text you. Come hang out with us! It's not as much fun without someone busting Lucas' balls.

She snorted at that.

9:37- Lucas: Everyone really wants to hang with you Maya, you should come to Topanga's. 

                         We're waiting for you.

                          I really hope you're not mad at me for last night. I'm so sorry.

She blushes at the memory, but that's quickly diminished by an overwhelming feeling of guilt. 

"Shit. We're not supposed to speak of that. Dammit Lucas", she thinks out loud.

She decides to respond to Riley.

Hey Riles, sorry. Just woke up and saw your messages. Hope you guys had fun at Topanga's

Her phone dings only a moment later.

No worries! We're actually still here! Lucas said he told you that we'd wait for you :) You weren't responding so we thought you might be sleeping. Farkle left a few minutes ago saying he'd come wake you up, should be there any minute

Why does Maya have to have such persistent friends? 

She gets up to brush her teeth and make herself presentable. Just as she's finishing up her makeup, there's a knock at her window. 'Of course', she thinks, 'since when do any of my friends use front doors anymore?' She chuckles at the irony of that thought, considering she never uses the front door at Riley's, with the exception of last night.

She walks over to the window to let Farkle in. 

"Hey! You're up!", Farkle cheers.

"Yup. Just woke up a few minutes ago to an unnecessary mass of texts."

He huffs out a laugh, "Well we miss you." Maya rolls her eyes, they just saw her last night. "You're coming back with me though, right?"

"Do I even have a choice?" she drawls.

"Nope", he states matter-of-factly, popping the 'p.'

"In that case, let's go", then she adds with a mumble, "get this over-with already."

"What was that?", Farkle turns to her as he's about to duck out the window.

"Nothing", she squeaks.

He eyes her a moment, but then turns back to climbing out her window.

During their walk to Topanga's Farkle tells Maya what all happened after she and Lucas left last night.
