3rd person POV
August 12, 2 days until Freshman year

"Hey y'all!" Lucas greeted as he entered Topenga's. "Sup." Maya greeted. Lucas slid into the booth opposite to the two girls. "So, what's hanging?" he asked. "Nothin much, what about you, Boing?" Lucas rolled his eyes. "Maya, are you forgetting something?" Riley suggested. "What? I don't think so." Maya stated. "That we're..." "OH!" she exclaimed. "Yeah, So basically me and Riley are dating now." Maya explained. Lucas's eyes widened. "That was quick!" he exclaimed. "Not really. I've liked her since 7th grade." Riley said. "Woah. Took you long enough!" Lucas said. "Don't push it, cowboy." Maya joked. He put his hands up.

"Ladies," Farkle said, sliding into the booth. "Oof," he grunted, sliding into Lucas. "Lucas," he said. Lucas nodded his head in greeting, then shoved Farkle over. "So, What happening?" Farkle asked. "Oh, Riley and Maya are-" Lucas started. "I KNEW IT!" Farkle squealed, drawing attention. "Chill out, Brainy." Maya scolded. Farkle audibly whimpered, then continued. "So, Maya, how'd ya do it? Video? Note?" Farkle urged. "Actually, Riley here is the one that asked." Maya replied, gesturing to Riley. Farkle raised his eyebrow. "Really? Didn't expect that." "Gee, thanks." Riley responded. "Can y'all believe we're gonna be Freshman in TWO days?" Lucas exclaimed. "Eh." Maya muttered. "Well, at least you two will be united at last." Farkle said. "I guess," Riley laughed. "Yo, what time is it?" Maya asked, poking Riley. She opened her phone and showed her: 9:30pm. "Oh, I gotta go. It's Farkle's bedtime!" Farkle exclaimed, grabbing his things. "Alright. Remember where we're meeting?" Lucas asked. "Yep. Table in the corner." Farkle rushed. Lucas nodded. "See you guys on Monday!" Farkle said, and he exited the restaurant. "Yeah, I should probably get going to. Gotta go school shopping." Lucas said. He grabbed his things, then left with a tip of his hat.

"Well, I guess I should probably go back to living at my house, huh." Maya said as the two walked back to Riley's apartment. "Awww." Riley whined. "I'm sorry! I can't live with you forever." Maya explained. "I know." she sighed. "I'll come visit you as often as possible, okay?" Maya suggested. Riley nodded, then grabbed Maya's hand. "I'm gonna miss you." she sniffled. "I'll come over every day, okay?" Maya said. Riley nodded, then they continued. "So, there's this guy on insta that keeps flirting with me, but now I can tell him I have a girlfriend." Maya said. "Oh really? WHO IS IT?" Riley growled. "Woah there tiger!" Maya exclaimed. "It's fine, just some random dude."

The two arrived at Maya's house, and Katy was sat on the couch. "Hey girls, welcome back," she greeted. "Hey, I'm gonna go get my stuff from Riley's, is that cool?" Maya asked. "Sure honey. But hurry back, we have to go school shopping!" Katy responded. Maya nodded, then the two girls took off again to Riley's house.

They were buzzed in, then entered the apartment to two 7-year olds running in circles around the couch. "AUGGIE! LET ME HUG YOU!" Ava screeched as she chased him around. "NO!" He exclaimed, attempting to run away from the screeching child. "Alright kids, settle down." Topenga demanded as she entered, hands full of two plates. "Aw." Ava whined. "THANK YOU!" Auggie exclaimed, flopping onto the couch. "Papa's HUNGRY!" Auggie sighed. From the other room, Cory called out, "HEY! That's my line!" "Wow," Topenga laughed. No one noticed the two girls until Maya burst into laughter. "Oh, hey girls! Didn't see you there!" Topenga exclaimed. "Well, we didn't exactly have a grand entrance." Maya scoffed. "Well, are you girls hungry? I made chicken nuggets." Topenga said, gesturing to the tray packed with dino-nuggets. "No thanks, Mrs. Matthews. Gotta get my stuff and go home." Maya sighed. "Oh, okay. Need any help?" Topenga offered. Maya shook her head. "Alright. Just remember, you can come over anytime, okay?" Topenga said. Maya smiled, then the two girls walked to Riley's room in search of Maya's things.

"I'm sad. I loved this." Riley said as they gathered Maya's belongings. "Yeah. Thanks for clothes, by the way. I didn't think to grab clothes while I was escaping my physically abusive father." Maya said. "Maya. I would've given you clothes anyway." Riley stayed. That brought a smile to Maya's face, and the two sat down onto Riley's bed. "I can't believe we're almost in high school," Maya started. "And dating. That's what's most shocking to me." Riley laughed, then grabbed Maya's hand. "I know, Peaches. I can't believe I'm going into high school dating my best friend." Riley said. "I love you Riles. More than life itself." Maya stated. Riley blushed intensely, then placed a soft kiss on her cheek. A ding rang through the room, and Maya picked up her phone. "Uh oh. It's my mom. I gotta get goin'." Maya said, grabbing her things. Riley sighed, then sat down next to Maya next to the bay window. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay Peaches?" Maya smiled then nodded. She put her fist above her head, arm outstretched. "Thunder." Riley did the same, "lightning." The two exchanged smiles, then Maya crawled down the fire escape and took off down the road.

Wow, I have no motivation to write lol
I've also taken to a new-ish hobby lately; four-wheelers. I've known how to drive them, i just don't ride much.
Anyway, this book will most likely be ending soon (2-3 more chapters). If you've made it this far, thanks so much. I write for my self-enjoyment, but I thought you guys would like it. Thank you so much for reading this thing I wrote on a limb. I will continue to write stories after this one, but this is the last one for now.
Wash yo hands!
