  Riley's POV
  I walked into school for my first time since the accident. I had basic memories of a few people. I just needed 1 more person involved in my daily life, Luke. My hair was in curls and my legs had braces that complemented my crushes and black tank top with pink leggings. I wanted to wear shorts, but that would be a way to get teased, since I had many scars. My dad decided to drive Maya and I to school. I wasn't ready for the subway, and being at risk for not getting a seat. This year, I was supposed to start high school, but some law changed in NYC that 9th grade would now be a part of the middle school.
   My dad and Maya helped me with my stuff and I went in to the doors of John Quincy Adams. With it being the start of a new year, I had got a new locker. There was a tall girl with short straight red hair and blue eyes, she had a floral dress with brown wedges.
"Hi," she said watching me hobble around on my crutches, "do you need help?" Normally I would have said no, since Maya normally assisted me, but her locker was on the other side of school.
"Sure," I said, "what's your name?"
"I'm Sydney and I just moved here with my brother Cole from North Dakota."
"Wow, I'm Riley. So where in New York do you live."
"We have an apartment in Greewhich Village, above a café called Two-pang-as."
I chuckled.
"That's where I live. And it's said Topangas. It's my moms cafe. I'm guessing your mom has a normal name."
"Her name is Rachel. And what happened?"
"Car accident, was temporarily paralyzed, have amnesia of a few people."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. Let's get to class. Who do you have?"
"I have Mr. Matthews history."
"Me too. By the way that's my dad."
"Your family must be pretty well know."
"I guess. When we get there, ill introduce you to my friends Maya and Farkle. Normally I'd saw Lucas, but he is just now left the hospital, from the same accident, only with 2 broken arms and legs."
"Farkle? And is Lucas your boyfriend?"
"Yeah. And about Farkle, Trust me, you'll love him."
  Sydney helped me get to my dads class. And I introduced her to Maya, Farkle, and my dad. She also introduced me too someone, her twin brother, Cole. Cole had an amazing resemblance to Sydney. Tall, red hair, and blue eyes. I hated to think this, but he was kinda cute. I pinched my self. I couldn't like another boy. I was dating Luke.
   "Hey Sydney," Cole said to his brother.
   "Hi," Sydney replied, "this is Riley, and her friends, Maya and Farkle." I saw Coles face turn redder than his hair.
   "I have I boyfriend," I whispered to myself.
    "Huh?" Cole questioned.
    "Nothing."
That day Maya showed Sydney and I around JQA. It was weird. I had memories of people but not any places. I saw Farkle and Cole were becoming good friends. I also noticed Sydney was blushing every time she saw Farkle.
   "Do you like him?" I asked.
   Sydney blushed, "maybe." She said smiling.
   "So yes?" Maya said.
   By the end of the day we were great friends. My dad seemed to also enjoy them, and let me invite Sydney over to my house.
   "No way!" She said when we got to my room, "that is my bay window right above us! I got the good room." We talked for about an hour, than I said I had to go to Lucas's house. Unsurprisingly, I tripped on something, went to the doctor and came home only to put my boot on from my previous broken ankle. I decided to video chat Lucas.
     "Hey!" I said as his face appeared across the screen.
   "Good news," he said, "I got all my memory back."
    "That's awesome!" I said, "but that's what I need to talk to you about."
    "Ok."
   "Lucas I love you, Or I think I do. But it is so hard being in a relationship with someone who I don't remember, I don't know how we met, or first kiss, or anything really."
  "Is this what I think it is?"
    "Lucas, we need to take a break. Hopefully we can get back together, but it is so hard to love you if I don't know why-" suddenly the screen went black. I had broken his heard. I made a plan to go see him in person the next day, but soon tears formed in my eyes. I had dumped Lucas Friar. I just hope one day we can resume what we started.

AN what to you all think of Sydney and Cole?
