Lollie sat at the Matthews dining table with Maya and Riley.

Eating macaroni and cheese.

For breakfast.

"How long we avoidin' this?" Riley asked.

"Not avoidin' nothin'. Just life moving on beyond that thing that happened between me and Noah." Maya said.

Lollie only sat there and ate her food.

Riley went up to Maya and makes a kissing noise.

"I know what it was. You don't have to fish-face at me."

"There was a kiss!" She said.

Lollie choked on her food, "Sorry."

"There was?" Riley asked.

"Yes."

"What was there?" Riley asked.

"He just grabbed my head, stared at me, then he kissed me." She said

"Did you like it?" Lollie asked.

Maya nodded, "I did."

"That's a good move." Riley said.

"I didn't hate it."

"Let's discuss!" Riley said.

"Let's not. Other things are happening. Life has gotten over this." Maya said.

Riley picked up the ketchup and opened it.

"If you pour ketchup on that mac and cheese, I will never forgive you." Maya said.

Riley did it anyway, "Life isn't over it, Maya. He kissed your face, you went on dates. That's a good move."

"I didn't hate it."

"But now, what are you guys?" Lollie asked.

"Life wants to know, Maya. Life wants to know right now." Riley said.

"No, it doesn't."

"I know who does." Lollie said.

Riley hit her in the shoulder.

"It does. Look around. Nothing's happening. Maya until we talk about," She started to make a kissing sound, "nothing is ever happening again."

Harper stood around the room and taught about Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no." Maya said.

"Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility focused on the multiple loves of two young women." Harper said.

"Well, would you look at that?" Riley asked.

"Ms. Austen felt there were two approaches to love. "Sense," meaning what?"

"Good, intelligent judgment." Farkle said.
