First Time

It's Different Now

Maya's Pov

"Come on Maya!" Farkle screams as he runs ahead of me on our way to school. Farkle and I always walk (or run) to school together except when it's snowing then Matthews drives us.

"I'm surprised you can run that fast." I shout back at him chasing him down.

"Hey!" He shouts back defensively. "I'll show you!"

I knew what he wanted, "Oh you wanna go there?" We both slow down, then stopped. "Ready Go!" We both shout at the same time and take off. He runs ahead of me all I can see is a blurry blue shape that is probably his jacket. He may be a nerd but that boy can run fast. I speed up and catch up to him, eventually passing him. "Who's slow now!?" I shout looking back at him and I see his bright beautiful smile. Yes, I have a crush on my best friend Farkle Minkus. I mean we would be perfect for each other. Everyone already thinks we're dating.

"MAYA! MAYA! Watch out!" I barely hear him scream.

"What?" I shout back at him not looking where I was going. I felt my foot scrape against something beneath me. I fall face first on the ground, apparently I tripped over a tree branch. Farkle comes hurdling towards me. I guess he didn't think he needed to stopped after telling me to stop. Just like that Farkle Minkus is laying on top of me.

"Sorry," He said softly. He was hovering over top of me. We started into each other's eyes, his piercing blue eyes looked different up close but a good different, a better different.

"Well, maybe, you should've listened to yourself," I pushed him off of me. I know what your think why would you push him off if he was over top of you? Well I don't know dating my best friend would be awkward I guess.

"Maya?" He layed on his side looking at me.

"Yeah?" I ask rolling onto my side. We were staring into each other's eyes again. He leans in closer. I can feel his breathe on my lips.

"This," and then right there he kissed me. Farkle Minkus the guy I've liked since first grade kissed me. I don't know how long we were laying there (kissing) but it was glorious. He pulled away or did I pull away? I don't really know. "Maya?" he whispers. 

"Yeah?"

He clears his throat, "we... we" We what farkle! Spit it out! I was hoping he would ask me out. "We should get to school," he finally said.

How embarrassing. "Uh yeah. We should." 

...

"There you guys are." Riley said walking up to us in the hallways of Abigail Adams High, "We thought you would be late," she gestures to Lucas, our other friend in the group.

"Yeah well we had some problems." Farkle says barely looking at me. I rolled my eyes and looked down. 'Problems' wow farkle. Riley looked at me in suspicion.

"We should probably get to class," I say walking into Mathews class. Farkle follows in right behind me, Riley and Lucas taking a second to come in follow behind. We sit in our usual seat Riley in the front, me right behind her, Farkle next to me, Lucas in front of him.

"Good morning class," Mr. Matthews says putting his briefcase on the chair. "Today we are going to discuss..." I stopped listening after that. I looked over at Farkle, he was listening, as usual. "Maya?"

"huh? " I ran my fingers through my hair and looked up at him.

"I asked you a question. What's your answer?"

"She doesn't have one." ugh Sarah, she thinks she knows everything about us but she doesn't.

"You don't know that," I fire back.

"Oh yeah what's your answer then?" She asked leaning over to me.

"Well, uh," I don't know the answer. This is so embarrassing.

"I think she was think about..." To be completely honest I wasn't listening to him but he saved me. I smiled at him flirtatiously, he faked a smile back. What is going on with him?

...

The bell rings. We all hurry and gather our stuff. We walk out Matthew's room. "Ugh, why does your dad's class have to be so boring," I groan.

"Maya come on," she turns around and looks at me with a stern glare.

"What?" I asked defensively.

"You know that's not what I meant," She said tilting her head.

"No I don't," I knew what she meant but I always force her to say what she means.

"Why weren't you listening in class?"

"Didn't. I. Just. Say. Why." I basically spell out, "your. Dad. is. Bor-ing." I say a little faster.

"Whatever," she rolls her eyes. "But uh can you help me with something after school at the bay window," she says trying to convince me something is actually happening in her life, I knew she had nothing going on. 

   "Ok, fine, whatever," I say as we trail off to our next class.
