Maya Hart/Lucaya | Stepped Back *Completed*

Chapter 6 Rain

Wednesday August 31, Art Show
when I got to the school around 6:30 pm I tried to look for my painting, and when I finally did crowds of people were already surrounding it.

"excuse me, sorry" I said as I gently shoved some people out of the way. I looked around and I found a piece of cloth. I got it and covered the canvas.

I sighed with relief. But then my mouth dropped open when I saw Smakle, Farkle, Lucas, Zay, and Riley walk towards my way.

"your here?" I said trying hard not to scream.
"of course! We wouldn't miss it for the world!" Riley said.
"So, let's see" Farkle said.
I looked over at the covered canvas.
"well" Smakle said "let's see it, I bet it's great!"
I took a deep breath and snatched the cover off revealing it.

The canvas showed the campfire, the stars in the sky, just me and him.
Him grabbing my face and pulling it towards his, showing the shadows behind us, like the shadows were kissing because our faces were so close.
everything was detailed even the clothes.

As soon as I snatched it off I ran off letting them look at it. I ran down the hall towards the doors, I opened them and that's when I heard it

Rain

"just great" I thought to myself as I sat down on one of the steps.

I buried my face into my sleeves and cried.

but I wiped them off as soon as I heard the door open.

"found you" the voice said.

Lucas sat down next to me "there all looking for you. Why did you run off?"

"because of what was on there Lucas" I sniffed.
"That doesn't matter, it was really good and you did what the art teacher told you to do."
"was Riley mad?"
"of course not!" he said.

I didn't know what else to say so we just sat there listening to the rain.

Our eyes locked for a second as the thunder came. It felt good to look at him at least.

Soon the rain stopped and I sat up. "I should probably go anyway. Tell the group and Riley that I left ok?"
He nodded looking up at me.
I turned around and walked to my apartment.
And when I got to my room I cried into my pillow for a while.

To be continued  sorry it was short.
