It was my sister Sarah. She was standing there in a light blue floral dress, lace around the waist and it went right above her knee. She also, wore black sandals to match it. I ran up to her and hugged her tightly.

"I missed you." She smiled and hugged me even tighter, as if that was humanly possible.

"I missed you too Maya. Your friends have also, told me you have been sick..I know what that really means." She whispered to me. "We'll talk about it later."

I silently nodded my head. "Hey, guys." I smiled a bit. My smile faded when I saw my best friend wasn't there. "Riley isn't here?" I questioned.

"She refuses to bother you till you ask her to come. " Lucas said as he looked at me.

"We tried to get her to come but, she refused." Farkle sighed.

"Well, that's alright. Thank you guys for coming. It means a lot." I twisted the best friend ring that was on my finger.

"Good thing I came to then!" Riley popped out from my cabinet and ran and hugged me almost making me fall.

I chuckled. "Riley, you're squeezing out my guts.."

"Well, time for school!" Farkle said as he grabbed my arm basically running with me.

"Why are we running!?" I said as he ran outside and took us into an alleyway.

"Because I have to tell you something before it's too late. I have loved you since I met you. Smackle was just a distraction. Ever since the first kiss me and you had I couldn't stop thinking about it. When you moved it crushed me. Now you're back and I'm not letting you go. I remember right before you left I had the guts to kiss you at the park when Smackle recorded us. Now I don't care who see's this." He ran out in front of out friends with me and kissed me. In front of Lucas my sister and Riley.

"Oooohh." Riley and Sarah both said in Unison. Lucas looked at me. His face and eyes emotionless. All he could say was,

"Wow. C'mon Riley. School." He dragged her as they sped up in front of us.

"I'll leave you two alone." Sarah winked and left.

I was speechless. I didn't know what to do.

"You don't have to say anything. I wouldn't make you decide what you think right now. It wouldn't be fair and I'm sorry about the timing I just needed to-" I cut him off.

"Farkle. It's okay. Right now I need to get to school." I hugged him and walked.

Now my life is even more confusing.

Over the last few days I've been getting close with Josh. Now Farkle is starting to bring back old feelings. Not to mention the way Lucas acted. He's dating Riley so, why would he care about Farkle?

All of these questions roamed through my mind as I walked into school. I sat right in my seat and looked up at Mr.Matthews.

"It's good to have you back Maya." He smiled a welcoming smile as I paid attention to the lesson.

"Aphrodite." He points to the board. "She was the goddess of love."

"I vote new topic!" Lucas yelled.

"Nope. No new topic." Mr.Matthews smiled. "She was the goddess of love and beauty. Some feared that the fight to become her favorite would cause conflict and war."

I sighed deeply. Why this topic? Why now?

"Now, I'm going to assign you guys a project. I want a paper about what love means to you and is it worth the war and the conflict?" The bell then rang. "Class dismissed."

-----------Time Skip.--------

I sat down when I got home opening up my computer. I started to write my paper.

About four hours and a bit of drool from almost falling asleep, I finished. I felt proud of it. Tomorrow I was going to turn it in.

--------Time skip again.. To class..------

"Everyone raise your hand if you actually did the paper." The majority of the class raised it. "Now, raise your hand if you actually thought about the task." I was the only one who raised it that time. "Well, then Maya I'd like you to share."

I sighed. "Well Alright.." I coughed feeling nervous. "Love. When we think of it we think of hearts, hugs, kissing, couples. But, love comes in all different shapes and forms. The love of a child and a parent is irreplaceable. The love between a person and a pet is almost irreplaceable. But, what does love actually mean? Love's exact definition is 'an intense feeling of deep affection.' This can be anything. Your favorite super hero who you adore. Your favorite singer. Or even your favorite sport. Love is also, fighting for what you believe in. If you love a person you're going to fight for them. You're going to fight until you get exactly what you want. Whether it's the person or even a trophy. Yes, it's worth causing conflict and war because that's the exact proof that you fought for what you want. You fought so, hard and got what was earned. That is what love means to me." I sat down.

"Maya. That was amazing." Mr.Matthews collected papers. "Class dismissed."

I sighed, feeling happy to hear those words.
