Lucas's POV:

After school was over, I walk up to Maya at her locker.
"Hey Maya."
"Hiya, huckleberry." she smiles.
"I was wondering if you wanted me to walk you home."
"It's fine."
"Why not?"
"Eh, my house..." she starts.
"Maya...I dont care what your house looks like. I care about you. I love you." I tell her.
"Thanks...I love you too."
"So...how about that walk?"I ask.
"Fine...follow me." she laughs.
We leave the school and make our way to Maya's house.

Bradley's POV:

I overheard Maya and Lucas talking.
They were going to Maya's house. I know that she's always the only one home, because she told me on the night of the party.
I know I'm not going to get Maya back, so if I cant have her, no one can.
I'm going to follow Maya and Lucas to her house. When Lucas leaves, I'll force Maya to break up with Lucas.
I'll figure out a way to break her, and her fragile little self.

Maya's POV:

Lucas and I finally reach
my house.
My house is little, and old. It looks kinda scary, but it doesn't bother me. The walls on the inside are ripped and have wholes in them. The floor is probably the only thing that looks clean, and not horrifying.
"Wow..?" says Lucas.
"Yeah-you don't have to say anything...I know its pretty bad."

"Ya know...my mom is an interior decorator." he says.
"Sounds cool, I guess."
"Maya...I'm trying to say that we can re-do your house, and make it look brand new."
I feel a rush of excitement run through me. "Really?"
"Yeah. We could even start tomorrow if you want."

"Wait...doesn't that stuff cost money?" I ask.
"Nah, consider it on me." He smiles.
I give him a hug, and we stay for a while. We finally let go.
"I should probably get home. I'll talk to you later, though." He says.
"Yeah. Bye Lucas."
"Bye." He gives a faint wave, and walks out the door.
A few seconds after Lucas leaves, there's a knock at the door.
