original prompt: Riley finds out about Lucas and Maya for the first time; first kiss.

"Why are you holding hands?" Riley asked, her eyes locked on Lucas and Maya's intertwined fingers. Her gut swirled with something, she wasn't sure exactly what, but it was like butterflies and skipping stones all at once. Like this was somehow going to be the best worst news of her life.

"We wanted to tell you first," Lucas said, looking a little shy and Maya… well Maya wasn't shy, but Riley could tell she wasn't as confident as she usually was. Even the ninth grade girls weren't as confident as she was.

"If you don't like it, we'll break up," Maya said instantly, "but for some dumb reason, I guess I kind of like the cowboy and-"

"You're dating?" Riley asked, looking at her best friend and not at the guy she wasn't quite sure she was over her crush for yet. "When?"

"Just now," Lucas said. "I mean, we haven't gone out at all-"

"But we've been hanging out," Maya finished. "Without you. We didn't mean it like that, until we kind of did. But if you're not okay with it, then it's over."

There was that feeling again. Heavy and light, all at once. But she and Lucas had never really be able to get together and he did look pretty cute with Maya. Who looked pretty happy, in her own way.

"I think it's great," Riley said with a smile. Lucas seemed relieve and Maya, a little more hesitant, but she nodded and smiled at Riley and she knew, Maya would be at her window tonight, making sure.

Still, she didn't need to see them kissing, which is what she found later that day, around the corner from her locker. And later that night, when Maya climbed through the window and told her it was their first, Riley couldn't help but demand every detail. Because that's what best friends did and just for that fact alone, Riley really did feel okay about it.
