Chapter 17 : The kiss

Maya's POV

I sit there stunned,

unwilling to speak,

I want to bury myself in a whole,

or become invisible and escape.

I still can't believe what bad luck I have I mean seriously,

"after all I did for you? Really?" Josh looks hurt, guilt wells up in my chest,

"Josh it's not-" I stop myself,

what am I doing.

"Maya your my bestfriend" Riley says, looking even more hurt than Josh,

"I thought you were there for me" she says her eyes wide filled with dissapointment,

"I - I" I stutter,

"look Riley" I protest,

"I'm done here" she says turning around and walking off,

she follows Josh but they both leave in seperate directions.

I scramble out of my seat and hurry after Josh,

"Josh!" I call,

I clamber down the front steps of the library and onto the dark street,

"Josh, wait" I scream,

he stops still not turning around,

I hurry up to face him, we are a couple of feet away from the library doors.

"Josh listen" I argue,

"listen to what Maya?" he snaps,

"I give you everything, I put myself out there for your, and yet you strike me when I'm most vulnerable" he continues,

"but" I look into his eyes, and notice how dead serious he is,

his eyes are darker then i've ever seen before, his eyes are watery, and eyebrows crinkled into a frown.

"You can't going around saying you love me, then date another guy, then kiss another completely different guy" he argues.

"I didn't kiss Lucas" I trail off,

"but Josh, I " I pause, my breath making smoke in the icy air,

he looks at me expectantly,

he wait's and I'm frozen,

I feel the library door creek, signalling Lucas has come up behind me,

Josh's entire expression drops,

"yeah that's what I thought"he sighs he kicks the top of his shoe and walks off down the dark streets.

Riley's POV

School today just isn't the same,

I woke up this morning with absolutely no motivation for school,

"there's no use" I sigh tiredly in the mirror patting at my frizzy brown hair.

"Hurry Rileyyyy" Mom calls down the hallway,

I have no energy to reply,

I grab my school bag and walk out.

"Riley honey eat your oatmeal" Topanga calls,

I groan, I don't want to eat breakfast, I feel like I have no appetite at all

"let's just get this day over with" I breathe, dunking my massive spoon into the bowl of mushy oatmeal.

"Riley's ruining my mood" Auggie complains to mom,

I look at my phone , 8:40

great I'm gonna be late.

I get up and clunk out.

Maya's POV

School just isn't the same,

I sit with Lucas,

I mean we are partners in this assignment.

"Maya I think you should of written our names after you glued the paper ontop" Lucas laughs at me,

"Oh boingy-Mc-boing-boing " I tease,

He growls at me and continues pasting paper decorations on our Medieval Japan poster.

"Wow Maya and Lucas, that's surely coming along" Mr Matthews says coming up behind us,

"thanks, made it with our own bare hands" I reply with a heavily over exageratted Texan accent,

"gee Maya, I wonder where you got the inspiration for that accent" Lucas says laughing as he shakes his head,

"Maya working" Mr Matthews shakes his head, "never thought I'd see the day".

I smile as big as I can up at Mr Matthews then realise my hand is glued to the paper,

"less talky, more worky" Lucas says as if I'm 5,

"wow thanks mom" I say raising my eyebrows.

I continue to look back every now and then at Riley,

and I notice Lucas does to, which makes me a bit annoyed.

Halfway through class Riley get's up and leaves,

she doesn't come back.

Lucas looks as if he is going to follow her for a second and I hold my breath, but but after a little bit he settles back into his seat.

*******************************************************************************

Maya's POV

Lucas and I are sitting at our secret spot eating lunch,

we have sat here every single day for three weeks and I like it.

His sitting so close to me a can feel him breathing,

I look at him and he looks at me and I wan't to kiss him so bad.

"Ranger Rick?" I ask,

"yes clutterbucket?" he teases,

"were you really going to kiss me yesterday" I ask staring into his dazzling hazel eyes,

he looks at me,

showing no expression,

and I am worried for a second,

but I just do it,

I grab his shirt and pull him in.
