Maya was seriously wanting to get out and that was what was going to happen.
It was four-thirty and Maya got a text from Riley.

R: 'Going for dinner as well. See you in one hour.'

Maya smiles.
She jumps through she shower and washes her hair.
She blows it dry and then curls it a bit.
She then does her make-up and goes to her closet.

Maya's outfit 👆

She takes her handbag and goes in front.

"Wow where are you off to?" Katy asks.
"Lucy's to have some fun with my friends. Riley, Farkle, Lucas and Zay are getting me there. I'll be back before twelve," Maya said.
"Be safe," Shawn said.
"Will do," Maya said and was off.

When she got there she immediately saw Riley Nd the guys.

"Hey," Maya said.
"Hey. We ordered apple juice for you," Riley said.
"Thanks," Maya said.
"You okay? Last time you told me you NEVER want to come with us somewhere again," Lucas said.
"Well if I have to stay at that place all night I'll go crazy. Plus just because I'm engaged doesn't mean I can't have fun with my friends. I feel like a song," Maya said.

She went to the stage and went through the list of songs.
She sees one she hasn't seen in awhile and put it on.
She grabbed the mic and started to sing.

Song Maya sang 👇

"She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but she can't be heard
You can see it there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside
Scared to talk but she don't know why
Wish I knew back then
What I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me
Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age
You cannot write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one way
Run too fast and risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but you looked so small
Wish I knew back then
What I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be, oh
Little me
Little me
Tell you one thing I would say to her
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be (little me)
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me."

The crowd went wild and Maya went to sit doen next to her friends.
What she didn't know is that Josh was there looking at her from a distance.
He decided to give them the little space.
Maya anyway didn't look like she noticed him.
Which was a little weird.
Usually she would notice him without even blinking.

The five ordered something to eat and it then became late.
Around eleven but Maya wasn't tired at all.

"What about one last song?" Riley asked.
"Only if you sing along," Maya said.
"Fine," Riley said and they went up.

Song Rilaya sang

"I've been waitin'
For a day like this to come
Struck like lightnin'
My heart's beatin' like a drum
On the edge of somethin' wonderful
Face to face with changes
What's it all about?
Life is crazy
But I know I can work it out
'Cause I got you to live it with me
I feel all right, I'm gonna take on the world
Light up the stars, I've got some pages to turn
I'm singin' oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I've got a ticket to the top of the sky
I'm comin' up, I'm on the ride of my life
I'm singin' oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Take on the world, take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world, take on the world
Take on the world
Puzzle pieces
Throw them up into the air
Taking chances
Moments happen everywhere
And I got you to live them with me
I feel all right, I'm gonna take on the world
Light up the stars, I've got some pages to turn
I'm singin' oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I've got a ticket to the top of the sky
I'm comin' up, I'm on the ride of my life
I'm singin' oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Take on the world, take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world, take on the world
Flyin' high
I won't look down
Let my fears fall to the ground
I feel all right, I'm gonna take on the world
Light up the stars, I've got some pages to turn
I've got a ticket to the top of the sky
I'm comin' up, I'm on the ride of my life
I feel all right, I'm gonna take on the world
Light up the stars, I've got some pages to turn
I'm singin' oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I've got a ticket to the top of the sky
I'm comin' up, I'm on the ride of my life
I'm singin' oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Take on the world, take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world, take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world, take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world, take on the world
Take on the world."

And that was it.
Riley walked Maya home and Lucas walked Riley home.
Nobody still had a clue that Josh was watching them.
And maybe it is better like that.
