A New Beginning

More About the Families

Riley POV:
After about 15 more minutes, Christine had not thrown up anymore. She's still crying though. Lucas gets up and gets a warm wash cloth and wipes her face. Christine is a mess right now. It makes me almost want to cry.

Lucas POV:
Riley looks really upset and tired. "Riley, you should go ahead to bed and I'll tuck in the kids and be right back. Besides you have your first day of work after school tomorrow." I turn and go tuck in Christine. She is calming down now. After a minute I come to the family room and bring Josh to his room. "Is Mommy and Christine okay?" Josh questions. "Yes, they are both a little tired though." I simply reply. I walk back to my room. Riley is sitting up waiting for me. I just jump in bed with only my shorts on. Riley has her normal, a tank top and sleep shorts on. I crawl into bed and we snuggle. "Goodnight, love you." I whisper. "Love you too, Cowboy." Riley says giggling. She usually doesn't call me names like that, usually only Maya does. So much for our date," I add, but it's okay. We fall asleep finally.

Riley POV:
In the morning I wake up to the same dang ding as every morning. "Ugh!" I say burrowing my head under my pillow. "Riles, you should get up," Lucas orders. I get up and wake up the kids. I pick out an outfit for Christine that is a mint green and navy striped short sleeved shirt with ruffle sleeves and a jean skirt along with some black converse. I put her hair in a fishtail braid and run back to my room. Lucas has already taken a shower. He likes helping Josh get ready so I leave that to him. When I walk in Lucas is about to walk out. We collide. "Sorry my princess." He apologizes. I giggle and walk past him. I take a shower and then put on a pair of khaki short shorts and a light pink plain v-neck shirt. I slip on my grey Vans. I put my hair in a pony tail and then curl it. I walk out and start making breakfast. Lucas is still with Josh. Christine seems to be better. I make toast and bacon. "Breakfast!" I summon my family. After breakfast we walk out the door. "You look good today Riles," Lucas compliments. "Thanks babe, you look pretty charming yourself." I say smiling.

Maya POV:
"Farkle we are going to be so late!" I tell as Farkle comes running down with two kids. I made breakfast for everyone; toasted strawberry poptarts. Farkle, Skylar, and Owen come rushing in and start eating. I had already eaten while I was making everyone else's. I rush back to my bedroom and put on a pair of red shorts and a black shirt that says I don't do mornings in white. I go to the bathroom and put my hair in a high pony tail. I slip on my red converse and rush back to my family. (Maya's outfit is above if you click on it)

"Ready Maya?" Farkle asks. "Yep," I answer. We walk out just as the Riley, Christine, Josh, and Ranger Rick are walking out of their apartment. "Hey guys!" Riley smiles. "Hi Sunshine, Christine, Josh, Ranger Roy." I reply. Lucas gives a quick glare before he walks down the stairs. I haven't given him that nickname since 7th grade. Farkle shakes his head while silently laughing.

Farkle POV:
Once our group got to school we went to our locker, all of ours are pretty close together. We decided to just stand in the hallway and talk. "I heard you start work tonight Riley." I start the conversation. "Yep! Maya does too." Riley answers. "When do you start work Farkle?" Lucas asks. "This weekend." I reply. "You?" I add on. "Tomorrow." Lucas says. Lucas and Riley's schedules are pretty much the same on weekdays but they both differ on weekends; if they work at all. Same goes with weekdays, some days they don't have work. Maya and I don't have really the same schedule but we both don't work everyday. We start walking to class.
