Seventy Seven

Maya's POV (AND OUTFIT ABOVE) 

Missy was truly getting on my nerves lately and I wasn't about to let her get away with not only treating me poorly, but my friends and Bradley too.

Riley called everyone to her house to help us "prepare" for whatever she thought was going to happen but we mainly sat around and thought about how we could manipulate Missy so Bradley can see what a two timing moron she is.

"Do we actually know she is cheating on Bradley?" Smackle asks from Riley's floor. We're all sitting around her room, with Zay by Smackle, Farkle and Riley on her bed, and Lucas and I on the window seat, me laying my head on his lap.

"Well she was all up in Lucas' grill at Maya's party." Farkle says looking over at Lucas.

"Yeah she was." He agrees.

"Did Bradley even see it though?" She continues to ask us all questions about what happened at my party.

"I showed him what was happening but he thought that Lucas was seducing her." I turn my head away from staring at Lucas' jawline and face Smackle. "Why am I surprised though, Bradley has never been the sharpest tool in the tool shed."

"So all we need to do is set up a situation that Missy can't resist and one that Bradley cannot resist." Smackle suggests nonchalantly and everyone looks at her.

"That's easier said than done." Riley inputs.

"Actually not really. All we need to do is make sure that Missy shows up to the fight tonight earlier than Maya and Bradley, we use Lucas as bait, then have Bradley walk up at just the right time." Zay explains and everyone continues to look at them. "Just follow me."

Zay brings us all to the lot that we are supposed to meet Missy and Bradley at in exactly 9 minutes. We're all standing around in a huddle while he and Smackle bark orders at everyone.

"Riley and Farkle stand here, Maya head towards the road, Lucas stay back here. Now this is what has to happen. Maya you will basically greet them and ask if you can talk to Bradley privately. When Missy leaves you two alone and continues to walk she will spot Lucas and he will be more 'willing' to talk to her than usual, but not too much because we want him to believe that she is the one who is doing the flirting. If everything goes smoothly, when Bradley rounds the corner from talking to you, he will see what's going on and dump Missy right then and there." Smackle explains to everyone and we start to nod.

"What happens if he thinks I was the one flirting with her?" Lucas asks from behind my shoulder.

"That's where Riley comes in. She will be recording the whole thing." Zay assures him and Lucas nods. "That way there is no way he could possibly deny anything."

"What if he does?" Farkle questions and Smackle decides to answer this time.

"Then he truly is a brainless shithead." Everyone stares at her in shock and Zay just smiles at his girlfriend.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." He says and wraps his arms around her. "Okay guys get going because they should be here any minute."

We all scatter to the "stations" we were assigned, myself farthest away from anyone. I check my watch, 2 minutes until they're supposed to be here. I stand up against the closest building as people, who at first I thought were Missy and Bradley, continue to pass talking about whatever drama was happening in their pristine lives.

They should've been here by now. Time just continues to pass.

5 minutes late.

7 minutes late.

10 minutes late.

23 minutes late.

I'm about ready to head back when Missy and Bradley start to walk closer to me. I kick myself off the wall with my arms crossed and nonchalantly walked up to them.

"You finally decided to show up I see." I smirk and she just glares at me.

"Ever heard of fashionably late... oh look who I'm talking to." She starts to chuckle and Bradley looks down at them ground.

"Whatever. Bradley can I talk to you for a second, alone?" I roll my eyes at Missy as she scowls at me and walks toward where Lucas and Riley are... perfect.

I pull Bradley away from where he could see anything and he can't even meet my eyes. "What do you want Maya?"

"Look Bradley, I don't understand what you see in Missy but that's also non of my business. I'm just hear to tell you that she isn't who you think she is. Before I go in the there and destroy her for being such a bitch to everyone around her, including you, I just wanted to make aware that I am not the bad guy. I care about you and don't want to see her hurt you."

"Maya I appreciate the concern, but I know what I'm doing. Plus you don't really have any leverage over my life anymore. You're into cowboys now and that doesn't really pertain to myself." That's the first time Bradley has looked at me tonight and it makes my blood boil. I glare at him and I swear I saw a small smile on his face. He pushes past me and says, "If you'll excuse me."

I was about to do something completely unrelated to whatever plan Smackle and Zay had conjured up, but I didn't care anymore. I saunter to where Bradley, Lucas, Missy, and the rest of the gang were.

"Riley stop recording!" I shout as I continue to walk towards Missy. Everyone stares at me, wondering why I just outed that they were recording everything that has happened. "I don't care about any of this anymore." Stares continue. "All I care about is everyone here besides you two," I point to Missy and Bradley. "And as far as I'm concerned y'all could drop off the face of the earth and I would't give two flying shits about it."

"What the hell is wrong with Ms. Psycho?" Missy tries to whisper to Bradley and I grab her wrist. Her eyes widen and I smile devilishly. 

"What did you call me?" I ask, knowing the answer, but Missy is too afraid to speak.

"Maya knock it off. You're just jealous... admit it." Bradley chimes in and everyone starts to walk towards us.

"Are you shitting me?! Jealous of what?!" I laugh and question how blind he truly is. I feel Lucas' grip on my shoulders and it eases me a bit.

"Of mine and Missy's relationship. You're jealous that we never worked out and you tried to be happy with Lucas but you realized that city boys are better than country folk." Bradley wraps his arm around Missy's waist, somewhat copying the romantic gestures Lucas was giving me. "It's okay to admit it Maya I underst-"

And that's thing I remember before I heard sirens.
