Girl Meets Timeline - Epilogue
"Hurry up Ranger Rick!" Maya called as she turned the corner in her new dorm building. Lucas followed right behind her with a box about twice his size in his arms.
"Oh I'm sorry, it's not like I'm carrying a box that weighs as much as a baby elephant. Oh wait."
"Stop your whining we're here." Maya said as they arrived at her new living space for the next year, room 1206. Lucas watched as Maya fished her keys out of her purse, and after what seemed like an eternity opened the door. He put the box down on the floor before collapsing on Maya's bed, she joined him and they both let out a huff, although after almost six hours of moving Maya's things Lucas' lungs felt like they were about to explode.
"Tired?" Maya asked as she turned her head to face him.
"Me? No, I'm just gonna stay here for a while and not move."
"Sounds good to me." she replied as she snuggled into his chest.
"If this is how you plan on paying me for helping you move, I'm pretty sure it's illegal in this state." Lucas said fiddling with the spaghetti strap that had fallen off her shoulder.
"Shut up." Maya said as she rolled her eyes.
"Seriously though, what did you have in that box?" Lucas asked as he propped himself on his elbows to look at the giant thing in the middle of the room.
"Nothing, just some paintings and the desk my parents got me that you need to help me build?" Maya said as she got up to open the box.
"You're kidding me right?"
"Nope."
"Oh come on." Lucas said as he fell back on the bed.
"Hey, I helped you move into your dorm."
"If by help you mean stand around and supervise."
"That's helping! Someone had to make sure you didn't walk into any walls."
"Yeah big help you were. Remind me again what happened to that lamp?"
"Just get up and help me with this."
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"I said no."
"Oh really? Well if you don't get up right now and help me with this box I'll just have to get you up myself."
"I'd love to see you try Maya." Lucas said as he watched her walk over, grab both of his arms and pull with all her strength. He was surprised when she actually got him to sit up but he wasn't going to make it easy for her. As soon as she got him up he made his body go limp in her arms and after multiple attempts she finally got Lucas off the bed but he fell on top of her causing them both to land in a heap on the floor. The couple looked at each other before breaking out into an uproar of laughter. They laughed so hard that their sides began to hurt. Finally Lucas stopped laughing and adjusted himself so that he was sitting on the floor with his back against Maya's bed frame. Using all the strength he had left he pulled Maya onto his lap, straddling him. Maya leaned in for a kiss and as things were beginning to heat up they heard a voice come from the doorway.
"Hello."
Lucas and Maya both looked up to see who was speaking. The girl that stood there had short black hair with a purple stripe going up it and she looked like she was trying to bring Goth back in style with her all black ensemble, which clung to her plump frame. The strangest thing about her though, was that she seemed totally unfazed that Lucas and Maya were practically having sex on the dorm floor.
"Who are you?" Maya said.
"I'm Diane, you're roommate."
"Oh well, I'm Lucas and this is Maya."
"Okay."
Lucas gave Maya a look encouraging her to talk to the strange girl.
"So Diane, where are you from?"
"Here."
"Okay, do you know what you're majoring in?"
"Woman's Studies with a minor in Gothic Literature."
"Well, I'm all done here so I guess I'll leave you to unpack. C'mon Huckleberry." Maya said as she exited her dorm room.
"Bye Diane, it was nice meeting you." Lucas said as he followed, ever the gentleman. Once they were out in the hallway with the door closed behind them Lucas said,
"Maya? What happened? I thought we had to put your desk together?"
"I know I just didn't wanna be in there anymore. Don't you think she's a little creepy?"
"How can you say that you just met her?"
"I can't explain it okay? Can we just go get some food please and we can build the desk some other time?"
"Okay, but you know she's not going away?"
"I know. Is it too late to move in together?"
"Hey you wanted to have the normal college experience? This is part of it."
"Stupid normal college experience." Maya said with a pout as she made her way into Lucas' arms. He leaned his head on top of hers before saying,
"I mean, I guess if you wanted to sleep over in my dorm tonight that'd be okay. My roommate isn't coming back until Monday anyway."
That seemed to cheer Maya right up. So they walked hand in hand looking for where they wanted to eat and later that night as Lucas was looking at his class schedule he veered over to look at Maya who was nestled in his chest fast asleep and let out a sigh of contentment. Lucas knew the feeling probably wouldn't last very long but maybe now he and Maya would without as many problems as before. They survived high school, so how bad could college really be?
