One month earlier

Riley P.O.V
I was finishing up getting ready for our first day back to school. We were going into our senior year this year and I couldn't be more nervous. I just finished curling my hair when Maya came in through the bay window, as usual.

"Hey Riles"

"Peaches," I said and ran over to hug her.

"You ready to go?"

"Ya I'm ready, let me just grab my bag."

I grabbed my pink, flowery backpack and we left my house to begin our adventures of being in our last year of highschool.

-----

"I still can't believe that we're actually seniors," Maya exclaimed as we entered the school.

"Yeah, now we're all the kings and queens of this school!"

"I can't wait to tell the freshman what to do at my command..."

"Yeah, like anyone will actually obey you Maya," Lucas chimed in as he walked up to us.

"Hey freshman!" Maya yelled to a random, small, helpless boy.

"Oh no" Lucas said with a scared expression on his face.

"Be my chair and don't try to run because you won't get very far," she demanded with a smirk on her face.

The poor freshman did as she said and got down on his hands and knees for her to sit down. Wow, Maya actually had power over these kids, probably just because they're scared of her. I would be if I hadn't been her best friend since we were little.

"Okay, I'm done with you. Shoo!" Maya stated as she stood up off the scrawny kid.

The kid ran. And by ran I mean sprinted like he was being chased by a murderer.

"See Huckleberry, I got power over these kids."

"I guess you do, short stack."

Maya glared at him. He knew she hated that nickname, but I guess it's fair since she calls him names all the time.

"Ladies!" Farkle said as he walked up to us.

"Farkle!" Maya and I replied as we always do.

"Hey Farkle." Lucas said.

"So what classes did you guys get?" Farkle asked.

We all compared our schedules and this is what it was...

Out of 6 classes total (not including lunch)

Period - Subject/Teacher/Who class is with

1st - Math/Mr. Henry/Maya
2nd - Science/Mrs. Shont/Lucas
3rd - History/Mr. Mathews (ew)/All
4th - Lunch
5th - English/Mr. Rinoks/Lucas&Maya
6th - Chorus/Mr. Styles/Maya
7th - Gym/Ms. Arnone/Maya&Farkle

"I have almost all my classes with you Maya!" I embraced her.

"Oh! And look Riley, three classes with Lucas! You must be real happy about that one!" Maya, annoyingly, stated.

"Peaches, may I speak to you alone for a moment."

"Sure thing Riles." -Maya

"We'll just be over there..." Lucas pulled Farkle by his arm and they left.

I dragged Maya to our lockers and started talking to her.

"Maya, for the last time I got over Lucas in 8th grade after we tried to date and it didn't work out very well. Remember that?"

"How can I forget that beautiful moment when you two couldn't even talk to eac..."

She couldn't even finish her sentence before she started laughing histarically. It wasn't long until we were both laughing.

Eventually we stopped laughing and I continued our converstation.

"Okay, so do you believe me now?"

"Whatever you say Riles."

"Okay... good."

The bell rang and Maya and I walked to our first period, arms linked.

It's not like I was lying to her, I did get over Lucas. But there was this new feeling that I get when I'm around him. It's stronger then when we were in 8th grade. I'm not sure what it is yet but all I know for sure is that I once again have a thing for Lucas Friar.

Sorry it's been a while. I just haven't had the time to post a new update lately.
