Maya's POV
Riley and I walk into the gym for P.E.
"Maybe they won't make you do anything because of your arm" Riley says
"Maybe, but they probably will" I say and shrug
"Have you been practicing on your script for Romeo and Juliet?" Riley asks
"A little" I say as I begin my stretches
"Coolio bro" She says and giggles
I laugh a bit at her strange comment
"Have you been working on your script?" I ask her
"Mhm! I almost have the whole thing memorized" She says happily
"Jeez, Riley! We have only had the scripts for like three days" I say
"Auditions start next Wednesday, Maya! That's only five days away! I have to be prepared!" She says
"Are you trying out for Juliet?" I ask her
"Of course" she says
"You're not gonna get the part, so why bother trying" I say
"Wow. You're in a mood today" Riley says
"It's true. Missy is trying out for Juliet. She will take down everything in her path to get that spot in the play" I explain
"I'm still going to try my best. There is always a chance. Have a little hope" Riley says cheerfully
"Hope is for suckers" I say
"Then I am the biggest sucker of them all!" Riley smiles
I giggle at her
"Okay class," the teacher yells "today we are going to run the mile!"
Everyone sighs
"This half of the room, you will be running first, while the other half times you" He says
The teacher guides us to the track outside
The half the is running first, gladly is not us,lines up on the track
The teacher assigns us to one of the people that are running so we can time them. Riley got Lucas, Farkle got Smackle, Yogi got Darby,
And I got stuck with Missy
"One, two, three, go!" The teacher yells and we all start our timers
4 minutes go by and Lucas is already done
After what felt like forever (it was only 5 minutes) Missy finally finished
I write down her time on a small piece of paper and hand it to the teacher
"How great did I do?" Missy asks me
"It took you 9 minutes and 36 seconds to run a mile" I say
"That's not true! You lied to the teacher about my time!" She yells
"Maya, did you tell me the right time?" The teacher walk up to me and asks
"Yes I did, I swear" I defend
"No she didn't! She is a dirty liar who is trying to make me look bad!" She gets even more annoying
"I don't have to try, that just comes naturally for you" I say and everyone laughs
"Ugh! You're so rude! Penelope!" She says and stomps away
"That's not my name" I tell her, actually announcing it to the crowd of people so they don't call me that
The teacher tell us to switch. So now Riley and I and the rest of our group are doing the running
"I'm timing Riley!" Farkle says
"Fine. I'll time Maya" Lucas says
"And go!" The teacher yells
I start running
Did Lucas not want to time me? Does he not like me? I guess it's just because he likes Riley more.
Of course he likes Riley more. Look at her!
I turn and look at Riley who has fallen behind me a bit, her perfect brown hair blowing behind her as she runs
She is way prettier than you. You look like an old potato with a dirty mop as hair
I shake my head and focus back into running
After running, I walk to Lucas to find out my time
"6 minutes 52 seconds. That's really good Maya" Lucas praises
"Okay" I say and walk away
I sit on the bleachers and wait for Riley
"7 minutes and 21 seconds" Riley says as she sits next to me
"Good job, Riles" I smile
"Maya" Riley says
"Yeah" I say, a little confused
"Do you think Lucas likes me?" She asks and looks at him dreamily
"Probably. I mean, how could he not" I say and sigh
"Do you think if I asked him out, he might say yes?" She asks
"I don't know, you might as well try" I say and stand up
"What are you doing" Riley says as she follows me
"You're gonna go ask Lucas out" I smirk
We approach Lucas
"Riley, Maya" he says
"Riley has something she wants to ask you" I say
"Um, do you, uh, maybe, want to, like, go out with me sometime" Riley asks
"Uh. Yeah. Sure, I guess" he shrugs and my heart drops
You knew he would say yes, don't act surprised
Although I knew this to be true, part of me still hoped he would turn her down
"Perfect" I start "you two go to Topanga's tomorrow for smoothies"
"Okay" they both agree
Perfect
Just perfect
