Good Girl Gone Bad

Chapter 17

Lucas' POV:

We're in art class right now and I'm sitting next to Maya. She's acting a little bit weird. I would say almost nervous.

"Wow. Your painting is beautiful" I say to her.

She looks at me and I see her blushing a little bit.
Did she just blush because of my comment? That's adorable.

I stand up from my seat because I need different paintbrushes and walk in the back room where the essentials are.

I hear foot steps coming. I turn around and see Riley. I haven't talked to her in ages.

"Hey" she says smiling at me.

What's going on? Why is she smiling? I thought she hated me..

"Hi" I say back.

"So... What's going on there with you and Maya" she hits my arm playfully and smiles.

"Umm.. wh-what do you mean?"

"You two kissed" Riley says in a duh tone.

"Who said that?" I ask her.

"Maya told me this morning. She was so nervous tho"

Wait a moment. So she talkes about me? And gets nervous?

"So she talkes about me huh?" I say smiling and looking at my feet.

"Yea well you know...omg I said too much"

"But- -" I get interrupted from Ms Glude.

"What are you two doing back here so long? Your art work has to be done next week" she says walking towards us.

"I'm sorry Ms Glude. I needed new brushes to finish my work and I couldn't find them at first but Riley helped me" I take some random brushes which lay on the table and smile nervously at Ms Glude.

Riley looks at me and mouths 'thank you'

'No problem' I mouth back.

We two walk out of the room and sit down on our seats again.

"What did you do so long in there? With...him" Maya says to Riley.

"Um. Nothing" she answers.

Oh man. I shouldn't even listen to this conversation but they sit right next to me and their whisper tone is not that quite.

"Hey Maya how do you like my drawing?" I ask her.

She looks at me and then at my drawing.

"It's fine. Why are you asking?"

"Oh I was just wondering because I don't really like it and you know a lot about art and stuff" I smile.

"Yea well. I like it" she smiles back.

"Thanks maya. Yours is amazing tho"

"You think so?" she asks while looking at her drawing.

"Yea I mean you're the best artist in this class anyway. If you're not getting an A I will need to have a talk with Ms Glude"

We both chuckle. She's so cute.

The bell rings and we walk out of class. Maya goes in the other direction because we have different classes next.

This is kinda hard on me. I wanna spend time with her. Is that weird?
