They say the deepest conversations happen late at night, when the sky is dark, the stars are bright, and the brain is too tired to hide feelings or filter what you're trying to say. So what happens when the blonde beauty with insomnia and the cowboy...
After an hour of tossing and turning, trying desperately to get some sleep, Maya decided to scroll through Facepage on her phone. She was laughing at some memes Zay shared when she saw a quote pop up. A quote shared by Shawn Hunter.

It was liked by Riley, Cory and Topanga Matthews, Riley's Uncle John, and loved by her mother. She smiled.
She quickly liked the post then went into her messages, past Riley, Farkle, her mom, and Shawn, then she clicked on Lucas making a chat head bubble with his smiling face appear in the corner of her phone. She typed.
Hey
You kept your promise :)
She was surprised he texted back, and so quickly, almost like he was waiting.
You're awake? Did I wake you?
Nope. Been awake.
It's after midnight?
I know. I have the time in the corner of my phone above your chat head. Couldn't sleep?
No. You?
No.
How come?
You tell me first
Tell you what?
Why couldn't you sleep?
Dunno. Too busy scrolling my phone.
He didn't respond for a while. So she decided to double text him.
Why couldn't you sleep?
Oh I usually don't.
What? This is normal for you?
Pretty much. Since I was about 12.
I'm a light sleeper. I guess every sound wakes me up so I don't sleep much. Been that way since I was about six.
Is that why you sleep in class? Cuz the teachers make everyone be quiet so there's no noise to wake you and you can just doze off lol
I know ur joking but that might be why.. I sleep better when i have nothing to worry about and for some reason i dont worry at school.
So worrying keeps you up at night?
Uh yeah i guess
Worrying about what?
Everything
Can i get some examples?
Is Shawn really the one for my mom? Is their relationship really going to last? Will my friendship with Riley even last? Why do I do such stupid things that get me into trouble? Why can't I be more like Riley? Is that the only way a guy would like me is if I looked and acted like her? Why don't any guys just like me for me? Do I not deserve love as much as Riley does?
