6th avenue kids (a gmw fanfic)

charity work

ethan's POV

"i'm maya." the blonde one waved. her eyes were very alluring.

"and i'm riley." the brunette one smiled. she had the cutest smile. one that made you feel all fuzzy inside just thinking about it.

"so, where are you from?" maya asked curiously

"boston. it's way different from here." i said as my eyes wandered around the halls.

"well the last new kid did just fine." riley laughed as a guy started coming beside her

"lucas." he said shaking my hand
he put his arm around maya, while holding eye contact.

that was kinda strange, i never really shook hands with anyone before.

"ethan." i nodded back

"you should sit with us at lunch! we'd love to have you." maya said to me

"yeah, that sounds fun." another guy said walking towards us

how big could this group possibly get?

"oh. i'm farkle by the way." he laughed

"ethan." i replied again. being social was mentally draining.

"hey." i heard another voice say behind me

now who?
i turned to see anastasia, to my relief.

"how's a going?" she said looking at the group surrounding me.

"hey! are you his girlfriend?" lucas said.

"what? oh god no... he's my cousin" stas said in that all too familiar sassy tone

"i'm lucas." he said kindly in her direction

"i know who you are lucas. i've known you since fourth grade." she replied rolling her eyes

"but of course, you don't remember me." she said before leaving

"oh my god, i feel so bad." he said as she was halfway down the corridor

"don't worry! it's fine." even though i knew, it was far from fine.

"we'll see you at lunch." riley said as the bell rung.

before my first class started i ran to catch up with stas.

"anastasia?" i called out, my voice echoed

"what." she said turning around

"you okay?" i asked, softening my eyes

"i'm fine. you can leave and go hang out with your new friend group." she said walking in front of me

i quickly walked up beside her

putting my hand on her shoulder i said, "eat with us?"

"i'm not your charity work ethan." a tear began rolling down her cheek

"stas." i called out, as she left to go to her class.

maya's POV

i walked in to class, and when i saw there was an empty seat near lucas i scurried to sit beside him.

"why did you put your arm around me?" i asked in a hushed tone

"what?" he practically yelled

"why. did you. put your. arm around. me." i said louder, yet still quietly.

"oh that? i don't know. it's not even a big deal maya." he said in the same loud voice

"mmhhm." i said pulling out my notebook and pencil

riley's POV

i opted to sit next to ethan during lunch. something about him was so interesting to me. first off, he was adorable, and he seemed so sweet, like the type you could vent to for hours and he'd listen to every word.

"hey." he smiled as i sat beside him

"hi." i giggled

"so. how are your classes so far?" i said taking a bite of my fudge brownie

"they're okay i guess. the curriculum is so weird."

laughter exploded out my mouth and i practically regurgitated my brownie

"holy shit, you are okay?" ethan said standing up

"i'm fine" i said with a throat full of brownie

"what happened?" he asked sitting back down

"you said curriculum." i almost laughed again but i stopped myself

"i don't get it.." he stiffened his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, how cute.

"nevermind, i gotta go wipe my mouth. be right back" i walked to the bathroom

lucas' POV

i took a seat across from ethan and next to farkle.

"do you know how many calories those salads have?" farkle asked pointing at ethan's food

"um? like ten?" he said shoving lettuce in to his mouth

"haha. you're funny." farkle said taking off his bag

riley and maya came to the table and riley sat right beside ethan.

throughout lunch riley and ethan kept having their own side conversations.

i tried to join in when i heard something, but it was useless.

"hello my friends!" zay said sitting next to maya

"hi zay." we said in almost unison

"who's this?" he asked looking towards ethan

ethan was too distracted by whatever him and riley were talking about to reply

"ethan!!" maya screamed

"oh. hey. hi." he said, scared by maya's scream.

"i'm zay." he smiled

five minutes before lunch ended i remembered that we had to start working on a group project.

"when are we gonna work on our assignment?" i asked, hoping anyone would respond

"we can do it at my house!" riley said excitedly

"cool. meet you guys there at 5?" farkle asked

we all agreed.
