Zay's POV
"Are you sure this will work?" I ask him. Farkle and I know that Riley and Maya have been in love with each other since seventh grade, but are both too shy to say anything. So, we're throwing this small party in honour of our graduation.
"Yeah. I know it will work. Riley and Maya are definitely in love. Both Maya and Riley are putting up a front when they say they like Lucas. They both did for a while, until they realised they liked each other. I know it will work. Trust me..." He says
"I hope it works..."
"It will, I pro-" He's cut off by the sound of a door opening. We both look at the doorway of Farkle's house and see Maya and Riley with their arms linked together. Farkle and I share a slight glance and smirk. This was going to work...
"Hey! Glad you could make it!" Farkle exclaims as he shows them around.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world..." I faintly hear Maya say as they walk down the corridor.
********
It's nearly the end of the party and the plan hasn't been executed yet. I honestly think Farkle forgot about the whole thing. I never got the signal, so I took things into my own hands.
"Hey, guys! Let's play 7 minutes in heaven! No restrictions on what you can and can't do, just spend 7 minutes in the spare room down the hall, then come out. You can do anything you want. Who's in?" I look at Farkle, seeing him nod slightly, giving me the confirmation that our plan was a go.
"Yeah, sure. Why not?" Maya replies soon after.
"Yeah, okay" Lucas says. He knows about our plan. He's not exactly happy about it considering he was really into Riley, but he knew she liked Maya and so did everyone except... Well, Maya. He wanted her to be happy so he agreed to go along with it.
"I'm in!" Farkle chirps.
"Um... Okay?" Riley says, hesitantly. I could see she wasn't so sure about it, but it was too late to go back.
I grab my empty soda bottle and spin it, praying it will land on Maya or Riley.
Farkle
Of course, it lands on Farkle.
He looks at each of us as he thinks about who he's going to bring to the room. Even though the plan was made for Maya and Riley, I knew he was going to pick either of the girls.
"Lucas" He says, confidently as he adjusts his black beanie.
After what seemed like a long silence, Lucas replied.
"Yeah, okay..."
Farkle grabbed Lucas' hand and walked down the hall. I heard a few whispers then I heard the door close. It was just Riley, Maya and I.
"I'm going to the bathroom" I say non-chalantly, trying to get them alone.
"Okay" Maya says as she looks at Riley who is looking at me.
I walk down the hall and then open and close the bathroom door to make it sound like I went in.
I sit in the hallway and just wait for the 7 minutes to be over.
