Unscripted Truths

Chapter 8: Discovering the Undiscovered

Maya POV

"Hey you ready to go," I ask Rebel.

"Yeah, what was that about?" he asked.

"You saw that?" I asked with a hint of disappointment in my voice.

"Yeah, so are you gonna tell me?" he asked.

"It's nothing," I say.

"Okay, shall we go?" he says with a smile.

"We shall," I say in return.

We reach the cafe within 10 minutes of leaving the school. We find a seat and order. The he asks, "So what do you wanna know?"

"Well for starters, what is your real name?" I ask him.

"Brandon," he says in return. (Yes I used the name from Tattooed Soulmates, which you should all go read!!!)

"Okay, where did you come from?" I ask him.

"I came from Chicago," he says.

"How did you get the title Rebel?"

"Kids who put labels on people," he says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You see Maya kids put labels on people based on how they look and act before the get to know a person," he explains.

"Well are you gonna let me get a chance to know you BRANDON," I say with a smile and hope.

"Yes of course," he says with an adorable smile. Then he receives a text, that he looks at with a worried look. "I've got to get going. See you soon?" he asks.

"Yes," I say with the biggest smile. Then he smiles and walks away. A minute after Brandon leaves I receive a text from Lucas.

L- Hey
L- Maya, we need to talk
L- Maya please text me back!!
M- What do you want?
L- Look Maya we need to talk
M- There is nothing to talk about
L- Yes there is. Please come over to my house, so we can talk.
M- Fine, I'll be there in 5

So I pay for my coffee and head to Lucas's apartment. When I step out of the elevator he has already opened the door. I walk right past him without saying a word and head to his bedroom.

"Maya, I'm sorry for what I said. You're right, I don't control you. I just don't want to lose you," he says.

"What?" I say in confusion.

"As a friend. I don't want to lose you as a friend," he says

"Oh right and you won't lose me, as a friend," I says with a hint of disappointment.

"So are you thinking about going out with him again," he asks.

"I don't know," I say.

"Oh okay," he says with relief.

"So do you want to continue working on Riley's party tonight?" he asks.

"Sure."

"Okay we need to work on reservations and entertainment," he says.

After about two hours we have all the reservations and entrainment made. "Good job partner," he says with a smile.

"Yeah," I say with a smile. "But I've got to go."

"Okay see ya tomorrow," he says.

"See ya," I say as I walk out the door.

Lucas POV

I've been trying to get ahold of Maya for the past hour! She's not answering her phone. Finally she answers my texts.

M- What do you want?
L- Look Maya we need to talk
M- There is nothing to talk about
L- Yes there is. Please come over to my house, so we can talk.
M- Fine, I'll be there in 5

So I wait by the door for the elevator to ring. As soon as she walks out of the elevator she walks right past me without saying a word into my room.

"Maya, I'm sorry for what I said. You're right, I don't control you. I just don't want to lose you," as soon as that last sentence leaves my mouth I start to panick.

"What?" she says in confusion.

"As a friend. I don't want to lose you as a friend," I say to save myself

"Oh right and you won't lose me, as a friend,"she says with a hint of disappointment.

"So are you thinking about going out with him again," I ask.

"I don't know," She says.

"Oh okay," I say with relief.

"So do you want to continue working on Riley's party tonight?" I ask.

"Sure."

"Okay we need to work on reservations and entertainment," I say.

After about two hours we have all the reservations and entrainment made. "Good job partner," I says with a smile.

"Yeah," she says with a small smile but then the smile quickly disappears "But I've got to go."

"Okay see ya tomorrow," I say.

"See ya," She says as she walk out the door.

As soon as she leaves I realize something is wrong.
