Pendulum - Teaser
This is a better one that will hopefully get ya’ll excited for the next chapter
Senior Prom countdown: T-minus two weeks. Neither Lucas nor Maya has made a move in the time they had promised their pesky best friends. Lucas told Zay he was busy with all the senior wrap-up duties he had in the numerous clubs and sports he belonged to. Maya also used his excuse, explaining that she could never get a hold of him but she didn't really want to. She's been asked out, hit on and groped once (no worries, the jerk left the scene with his balls practically bleeding) but she never did the asking. That only happened with two guys: Josh, but she knew he'd never say yes and Lucas, but that was to make a point and also, she knew he wouldn't say yes at the time. Now, Riley was the one pushing her to ask him out, inverse to all those years ago. Life has one hell of a sense of humor.
She was having a bit a deja vu, watching the boy at his locker. Maya made a promise to Riley and she always imagined herself as someone true to their word.
Just do it, Maya. Get it over with and fucking do it. She amped herself up. Maya took a strong breath and exhaled through her nostrils, nodding. She charged towards Lucas, her four inch heels hitting the floor with purpose.
"Yo, Friar Huck!" Maya shouted without thinking. Now, she had his full attention. No turning back. He looked down at her with wide, doe like eyes first but then made that stupid, disarming smile. Before she lost her nerve, she told him, "so, you're taking me to senior prom." If she commanded him, Maya thought she wouldn't feel too pathetic.
Lucas' eyes went even larger at Maya's revelation. He planned to be the one to do the asking but he didn't know how. Maya deserved a grand gesture, in his opinion but he didn't know what to do. He thought about drawing her a picture but he had 0 artistic talent and she'd make fun of it,which honestly made it the perfect proposal but he wanted to go bigger. The idea Lucas settled on was getting a rope and randomly but gently lassoing her to him. Next, he'd give her sunflowers and ask her to be his date. It was a really good and cute plan. But no, Maya had to go and be her assertive self, demanding him to take her to prom. Well, if she was going to unknowingly ruin his scheme, Lucas thought he could at least have a little fun with her.
"Oh, I am, am I?" He leaned against his locker with a shrewd grin, folding his arms.
"Did I stutter?"
"And what makes you think I don't have a date?"
For a second, something in Maya faltered but she quickly recovered, "pssh, what girl did you Roofie now?"
"I think we both know I don't have to go to extreme measures get a date around here."
"And just what are you insinuating, Dingleberry? That I do?"
"Yup. You're pretty but guys are afraid of you. And why else would you ask me? You don't have a crush on me again, do you?"
Maya blushed a tad, not knowing if him calling her pretty or bringing up crushes was throwing her off. "Please, I like you as much as I like as like shot needles stuffed up my vagina."
"Ooh, talk dirty to me."
"Just take me to the goddamn prom, Ranger Rick."
"You know, you're putting me through a lot of abuse considering you're the one who needs a date - "
"I'll put my fist through your face!" Her little fist rose to the tip of Lucas's eyes and he covered it with his large hand, bringing it back down between them.
He gazed down on her with a crooked smile, thinking that it was silly for anyone to be afraid of someone so adorable. "Prom, huh?"
Maya glanced at the both of their hands still clasped together, then strongly met his stare. "Just taking pictures and eating food. That's it."
"And dancing."
"No dancing."
"Oh, yes there will be dancing." Lucas affirmed. Honestly, it was a turn-on to watch Maya move. "Or no date."
Maya huffed, "fine!" She snatched her hand back.
Lucas, more agreeable, "fine." He held out his hand for her to shake and she did. "Pleasure doing business with ya, ma'am." He tipped his invisible hat and Maya deeply rolled her eyes.
"Oh, shut up." She shook her head whilst strutting away.
To anyone else, their conversation would have sounded extremely hostile and mean but the two people involved left the exchange smiling blissfully.

A new chapter of You Must Be Her it’s out!
Have you taken a look at Manhattan's Lies?
Yeah, I know if you do not like Josh and Maya you probably will not like the beginning of the story, but get a cup of chamomile tea or a glass of passion fruit juice and be patient to know what will happen next (even though I think the first chapter already has a clue).
Spoilers from Girl Meets Manhattan's lies
"Those three words are said too much, they're not enough...Forget what we're told before we get too old...All that I am. All that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see. I don't know where confused about how as well. Just know that these things will never change for us at all..."
Yes, it's a song that I thought when I wrote something about the past of two people that you will only know who they are in future chapters so stay tuned!
