Taken

I Forgot to Give Him My Number

The last bell rings, meaning that school is over for the day. The guys are in the locker room getting dressed into their practice clothes and head out to the baseball field where they are practicing. They decided to throw the ball at each other for warm up.
Lucas - I can't believe Riley has a date
Zay - Not just a date. A date with an older much more attractive man than you
Lucas - Why would she say yes to him, he's such a jerk
Zay - Actually he's kinda nice
Lucas - Oh yeah? And how would you know?
Zay - I have third period with him. We're cool. We're homies
Lucas - so what? Hes attractive and a year older, those are not good enough for Riley
Zay - Well, his smart, tall, fit, athletic, nice.
Lucas - So am I
Zay - Okay. He's not dating Rileys best friend
Lucas - I'm not dating Maya.
Zay - so you've talked to her about it?
Lucas - not exactly...
Zay - than you are dating her. I told you to talk to her.
Lucas - I just don't know what to say to her
Zay - Everything that you've been saying to me
Lucas - You think she likes him
Zay - I think that's why she's going on a date with him
Coach blows his whistle meaning that it was time to start practice.
Meanwhile Riley and Maya walk home together, as always.
Maya - I can't believe Ms. Riley Mathews has a date with a junior hottie
Riley - neither can I, that's why I looked behind me to see if he was asking someone else
They both laugh
Maya - so where is he taking you?
Riley - I'm not sure, he said he'd call me
Maya - you gave him your number?
Riley - oh my god.
Maya and Riley look at eachother, they realize that Riley didn't give Alex her number. Typical Riley, forgetting the most important part
Maya - don't worry, you'll just sneak it in his locker tomorrow morning
Riley - that's a good idea, since when did you become such a sneaky romantic
Maya - I don't know, maybe I've been reading to many cosmo snapchats. Lucas and I haven't gone on a date for months, I think he lost interest in me
Riley - well have you talked to him?
Maya - not really
Riley - well are you going to?
Maya - I wasn't planning on doing so
Riley - well than how do you expect to be more than friends if you can't talk to him
Maya - you're right, I don't know why I'm so scared
Riley - just ask him out. I think I read somewhere that guys are shy too, sometimes the girl needs to be the man. What's the big deal anyway, you asked him out once already, at the end of seventh grade.
Maya - You're right, thanks Riles
Riley smiles at Maya. But behind that smile is a breaking Riley. She's devastated at the fact that she's going out on a date with Alex when she really wants to date Lucas. But Maya can't know, no one can.
