Nothing More, Nothing Less (Travis' POV)

Awaiting her response, she finally opened her mouth and spoke. “Well, we were placed in the same group a lot in almost every subject we were put in” She answered. Hmmm, well, since they are in the same class, it wouldn't seem impossible that they've never been grouped the same out of almost a year being in that room. It seemed like she told the truth anyways so I went on with my next question. “Ohh, who did the first move introducing?” I asked, this thought bothered me much since I first met her which was just a few minutes ago. I kinda worry if Troy did the first move which he hardly does and speaking from his past experiences which he always shared with us with his childhood “girlfriends” they all did the first move whether Troy liked them even before that or after. I just thought if Troy did the first move, he might've liked her enough to actually talk first. “Well, it's again a matter of school stuff. We were in the same group and since I was the leader, I had to make sure everyone attended and Troy was the only member who wasn't there. Although I didn't ask him directly, I asked your aunt if he was coming then eventually we cleared things up so that was pretty much how our first interaction went” She answered. Heh, casual Troy, always so forgetful. Well, it's not at all what I thought it was so I guess that's good, they're more professional with their first interactions. “Well that does kinda sound like him. On to my next question quite related to the other one I asked. What was your first impression of him? like did you already have different thoughts of him before this whole thing happened or you only thought of him when you first got to know each other?” I replied and along with another thing that still wondered through my mind. I just had to know... I felt like I asked too much here hearing how I said too much on a simple question but I guess I yearned for what the answer was and hoping it wasn't about her liking him then getting closer to one another... I paused, I was getting out of track again... I needed to shake her off my mind and see her nothing more than an acquaintance than of a possible love interest. I shook my head a little not noticeable I hope to both Maya and Trevor ‘cause that would've looked weird or make them feel awkward. Now, back on track! I listened to what Maya had to say regarding my question whilst I stare deep into her eyes. Out of curiosity of course- “Well, My first thoughts on him started at the first day of school when I saw him. He kinda stood out mostly since almost everyone in class were from the past school I was in and he was the odd one out out of all of them since he was the one I didn't know so naturally, I became curious and wanted to be his friend” After she ended that, A sharp pain struck through my chest. Why did that sound like she liked him right from the start?? I was deep in thought, I thought I was rather quiet but more so loud sounding distressed with a simple “Hmmm...” they heard from me. Again, I just brushed it off and said something that made sense for once. “That seems reasonable, that makes me think you're really friendly then?” I told her so I wouldn't look like the star attraction to them again. When she heard me say that, I hear a sigh of relief out of her and saw a quick glimpse of a smile growing on those gleaming lips of hers. All was well when I saw it again. I looked over at Trevor and it seemed like he didn't have a question to ask yet so I continued while seeing Maya's reaction of shock as if she didn't expect a lot more questions to come. I mean, I know Trevor wants to ask but since he wasn't ready yet, I stalled and thought of more stuff to ask her. As I was preparing my next set of questions, her face and posture looked like she was ready for battle. Of course I tried to keep in mind that I obviously shouldn't ask questions that were too personal for her, I wanted to keep an awkward free atmosphere after all so simple questions will do. As I was preparing my next set of questions, I paused and saw Maya's face change from one expression to another like from mad to motivated to happy. It looked really cute. As I was gazing upon her each expression, I noticed she was looking at Trevor behind me. I couldn't really tell what she was feeling since all her facial expressions change every 15 seconds so I just decided to ask Trevor if he was alright. Trevor still looking bashful and scared, he answered... “Y-yeah, I was just thinking of a question to ask... sorry I'm taking so long...” I felt bad for him, I guess I shouldn't have asked but good to know it wasn't anything bad but I feel terrible for making him feel sorry for something he shouldn't even be sorry for. Before I could apologize to Trevor, Maya moved closer to us and leaned to Trevor holding her hand out and putting it on one of Trevor's shoulders and smiled at him while she started to say her assuring words to him... “Hey it's alright, We've got plenty of time and if you want, I can be the one to do the asking this time if that's alright with you?” Maya assured him. I took a quick glance over at Trevor, hmm, seemed to work easily on him. I'm surprised ‘cause he's rarely that easily comfortable with someone new but good for him. After that, he did another surprising thing which is he spoke! “Oh, it's alright with me. Thank you! I'll be ready to answer!” Trevor said happily. He not only spoke but he actually spoke energetically and again, that happens quite rarely but still, I'm both proud and happy for him because he's opening up to Maya. I was so glad to see him like this again that I just had to say it to him. “Ooh! haven't seen that side of you for a while, glad to see you comfortable with her already which is a really great sign. I'll let you do the talking for now with Trevor” I stood up and patted him on the back and gave them space, I actually planned to leave the room for them but she stopped me from my tracks and assured me as well that I wouldn't get left out. I know I said I want her only to be a friend of mine but I couldn't cage this beating heart from beating what's true specially when it's because of her. I sure have fallen for her...
