gentle impulsion ♡

@lexstarters

shortly after maya had ordered her food, she sat down at the last available table at smithie’s. (the table also happened to be right next to a fellow squad member.) he looked as if he had been in the middle of studying, so she didn’t want to bother him. but before she knew it, he spoke to her first. “you don’t want to go to vegas?” maya asked him in response, failing to hide her puzzled expression. “i mean... i don’t think it’s mandatory, but why wouldn’t you want to go?”

            lanky legs carry him through the commons , heading towards the steps after his last class finished. the sun was shining , and he’s not sure what it is about the light shining against the stairs that makes the sight so pretty. feet pause , watching as a lexsquad member settles against the steps. despite his typical shy nature , he was moderately comfortable with most of the lexsquad , so he approaches with a soft clearing of his throat. “ i know this is going to sound weird , but can i take a picture of you ? well , i mean ––– it’s going to be so i can paint you later , so i actually guess i should ask if it’s okay if i paint you ? i … realize how creepy that sounds , actually , so you know what , never mind. forget i spoke. ” an incredibly smooth delivery –– nailed it. “ sorry. ”

after maya’s last class had finally ended, she decided to take a breather and sit on the steps closest to her classroom, because why not? the weather was nice, and she just liked to be around other people. as she was mindlessly scrolling on her phone, she noticed a tall shadow appearing as footsteps drew nearer. after locking eyes with finley, maya smiled. “you wanna take a photo of me?” she questioned him. shortly after she spoke, she realized she had probably sounded rude, when in reality, she was just flattered that he had even asked her. “no, no, i would totally love it if you did! the lighting is nice here! sorry, i was just caught off guard. not many people take photos of me, ya know?”

CRUZ : good morning , i have a question. CRUZ : is water wet ?  CRUZ : i’ve been thinking about it all morning 

MAYA: how could it not be wet?

HE’S NOT EXACTLY THE BRIGHTEST BULB – and kade is far from the quietest person, either. the other is trying to whisper to him and keep their voice low, but kade can’t seem to follow. “ are you trying to talk to me in morse code ? ”

maya tried to shush kade without being verbal, but it was clear that he didn’t get the message. “dude, we’re in the library,” she whispered as she glanced around, hoping no one was paying any attention to them. when kade mentioned morse code, she couldn’t help but make a face at him. “morse code?” maya started, forgetting to whisper at that point. “you... can’t talk in--- what do you think morse code is?”

by now, avery was well aware of what he had done and the implications of his actions. maybe he couldn’t fix it but he’d at least try. he was thankful that maya was willing to meet with him but that didn’t make him any less nervous. he was sure she already knew what happened between him and cruz but he thought it would be best to hear it from him. not to mention he was a total dick to her in the groupchat. avery was sitting at a table just inside of smithie’s as he waited for maya. once he saw her come through the door, he gave her a small and awkward wave. “hey, how are you?” / @mayavoss​

maya was a bit stressed out about her meeting with avery. she knew that the two had to talk; she was just afraid of any potential confrontation that could occur. she doubted anything along those lines would happen though, but based on the texts avery had sent her earlier that day, she had reason to believe otherwise. maya was aware of the most of the cruz and avery situation, however, she decided to wait for avery to tell her himself. “hey,” she said sheepishly as she walked up to the table before her. “i’m fine... how are you?”

send me a ☕️ and an opinion (popular or unpopular) and i’ll say whether i agree or disagree

dragonfruit: do you drink alcohol?

🚀 a goodbye text.

             cruz felt bad for getting into it with maya. genuinely , he didn’t mean to get upset with her , he had just been high strung lately , and with everything going on the last thing that he wanted was what went on in the group chat. after talking to maya privately , he felt better about that , at least , but still wanted to meet her to talk , even if they didn’t talk about anything that important. that said , he’s waiting at smithies and he’s early –– eyes looking down at his phone to pass the time until someone approaches his table. eye shoot up , a smile growing on his face when he sees her. “ hi , maya. thanks for coming. ” he greets her , mildly anxious hands wringing together under the table. “ i’m sorry about last night. ” @mayavoss​

 “hey, cruz,” she greeted him. after he apologized for the night before, maya had almost interrupted him to say, “it’s okay, you don’t need to be sorry! we’re human beings, ya know? and human beings sometimes argue. so no worries, okay?” maya said as she put her hand on his shoulder, reiterating that everything that happened was in the past and that she was no longer angry. she then sat across from him, feeling somewhat awkward. “so, how are things?” maya asked him to break the ice. although what she really wanted to ask was, “what do you want to talk about exactly?” she had a feeling there was something specific he had in mind when he invited her out.
