Behind her Back

Wow

Maya's P.O.V

Riley isn't at school today.

I walk to the lockers and see Huckleberry talking with Farkle and Zay. "Yo Huckleberry where's Sweetie?"

"Riley's sick." He says, barely even looking at me.

I can't bare this. Him acting like we never had anything. Never had any chemistry. Never loved each other. Unless he never loved me.

"Lucas, can we talk?"

"Wow, you actually said my real name?" He scoffs.

"Please? I really do fucking hate myself, so fucking much. I feel so miserable and I can't go on seeing you with Riley, why can't you give me another chance?" I'm crying as I say it.

He takes my hands and says "I did give you another chance. And you blew it. I don't want it to be this way, but it looks like this is how it'll be." The bell has already rung, so it's just us in the halls.

Through tears, I say "Lucas, I love you. I'm sorry for everything I've done, I guess I can't change my bitchiness."

"You're not a bitch. Maya, I-"

"No- it's okay. Don't try to make me feel better about being a bitch okay? I know I am, which is why you and Riley are perfect for each other. Tell her I'm sorry."

He looks at me with sadness in his eyes.

All I long for his for him to say I love you back.

"I'm going to try to give you something nice. Starting today. Maya, you're coming with me. We're skipping school and going wherever you wanna go. Together."

I wipe my tears away. "Oh my god. I-"

"Come on." He takes my hand and we leave the school.
