How Could You?

Maya's POV
Friday, January 29, 2016

So it's been a few days since the little "incident" at Egg&I. And if I didn't make that clear enough, me puking in the public restroom.

And to be honest, I seemed to have recovered from my sickness almost instantly.

I kind of shook off the fact that I was "sick", and so did everybody else.

Everything is pretty much just the boring normal. Except for me and Lucas avoiding each other. I'm surprised nobody has even said anything about it yet, it's like crazy avoiding. We haven't even talked since the movie.

I can't even remember the last thing I said to him. I'm pretty sure that was "hi" or "hello" but I don't know for sure.

Either way, me and Lucas are not the same people, and I kind of miss our little game... even though it's only been a week or so.

Anyway, right now me and Riley are walking into school. My first class today is Math, and Riley's is Arts.

Lucas is in my first class today. Great. At least we don't sit next to each other. But later at the end of the day we have science. All of us have science together. And the problem is, me and Lucas are lab partners. Great.

At least won't be worrying about that until later today.

Once me and Riley got to our lockers, outside of the history room, and got out our books or supplies we needed we said our byes and parted ways.

As I was walking to the math room, I saw Lucas and Missy talking outside of the room. I got this weird feeling... like jealousy. But that's strange? I've never been jealous about Lucas and Riley being together. Maybe it wasn't jealousy.

I had gotten close enough to hear their conversation.

"You know Lukey... maybe we could go out some time. Just the two of us. Alone." Missy said and giggled.

I stood there not even 30 feet away, hugging my books close to my chest, in shock of what I had just saw. I felt my jaw drop a little and I practically gagged as she said the words "go out."

I suddenly got that weird feeling again and I finally knew what it was. It was jealousy. And as much as I didn't want to be jealous, I was.

I stood there patently waiting for an answer.

If he says yes... I am going to kill him. For several reasons.

For one, after what we did, I'd expect both of us to not date anyone until we are "cool" again. Meaning talking and being friends... normal friends again.

Two, he can't do that to Riley! Riley needs him! They are perfect for each other!

Three, it will ruin our little friendship between everybody. Zay, Farkle, Riley, and me.

Four, Missy is a freaking slut. Even in middle school,  everybody can tell she is going to be like a stripper or something when she's older.

Five, I'm a little jealous.

Still being able to hear their conversation, Lucas finally said something.

"Missy, we can still," Lucas started to say, but Missy cut him off and grabbed his face.

What is she going to do?!

She kissed him. In front of everybody. He tried to back away, but she pulled him closer.

My eyes got hot and watery, and I started breathing heavily.

Eventually he gave in and kissed back for like 2 seconds, then finally pulled away.

How could he do something like that?! To Riley and Me!

Oh god, he is staring at me.

Lucas's POV

Missy just kissed me. Why though? She knows about me Riley and Maya. Why would she do that?

She asked me out, and trying not to sound rude, I started to say, "Missy, we can still be friends," but she cut me off about halfway through and kissed me.

I tried to pull away, but she had a grip on my right hand and it hurt. So every time I tried to pull away it got tighter.

I thought if I kissed her back for just a little, she would soften her grip and I could pull away.

And It worked.

And here I am, barely even five seconds after the kiss thinking of what to do.

Should I run, or talk to her?

Just then, looking to the left of me, I noticed someone. It was Maya.

She was standing there in the middle of the hallway. She was holding her books tightly to her chest with tear filled eyes. Her face was red.

Shit.

"Maya, look I can explain!" I begged walking towards her slowly.

She backed away slowly, while shaking her head as if she was saying, "How could you!"

Tears started to pour from her eyes.

"Please, Maya." I begged once again, "I'm so sorry." I said.

"Fuck you." She said quietly through sobs.

She turned around and ran. She ran fast still holding her books.

I started to chase after her screaming "Maya!" But I was too late. By the time I had turned the corner she was already out the door.

"Oh no."

What do I do?
