"Maya, can you hang back for a minute? I'd like to speak with you." The bell had just rung and it was time for lunch anyway, Riley nods and leaves the classroom, quite probably to stand outside the door
"En ingles, Seniora?"
"Yes, Maya, class is over, English is just fine."
"Alright, so what's up?" Maya asks, sitting at her desk, her feet up carelessly
"I could ask you the same thing, Ms. Hart. Feet off the desk, please."
Maya moves to sit properly, "What do you mean, Ma'am?"
Seniora Francis moves in front of Maya's desk, "You sit in front of Riley, and you still use every chance to talk to her, and she's still not improving in this class because all she does is look at you. So, though it may not be my place, I'd like to know why?" She smiles a knowing smile
"Because we're best friends, and I love her, and she loves me."
"You know, my wife and I were best friends in high school, then she told me she loved me our senior year and I dumped my boyfriend for her on the spot. Think about it." Maya is surprised, Seniora moves back behind her desk, "You can go to lunch now, Maya. Have a good day"
Maya leaves the classroom, shellshocked. Riley greets her, "What was that about?"
"Riley, we need to talk."
