Riley's POV.

As my eyes adjust to the harsh light shining through my windows and my ears adjust to the sound of Maya and Auggie singing. "Wake up Riley, you need to wake up!" They repeat over and over until I finally manage to roll out of bed. As I land on the cold floor Maya just laughs at me. "I figured I'd have to get up early to wake you." She says standing in front of me. "First, ow and secondly I'm awake." I say sitting up and waving my arms about until she pulled me up. "Come on, hurry up, it's quarter past seven." Maya says as she walks over to sit on my bay window. I walk into the bathroom and pull my hair up into a messy bun before turning the shower on. I look into the mirror to see the pink strip in my hair that's slowly getting old to me, I want it gone. I splash my face with water before cleansing it and brushing my teeth. After that I hop in the shower and quickly rinse off. Once I'm out I dry my self off before putting on a pair of high waisted knee ripped jeans with a long sleeved burgundy turtleneck crop top and my black bomber jacket. I take my hair out of the messy bun to reveal my natural messy waves, I brush them out and straighten it, last step is makeup, I add a little bit of concealer with powder and then eyeliner with mascara and then a lip balm.

I walk out and see Maya scrolling through her phone, I grab my bag and slip on my old school vans. "Ready." I say, causing her head to actually look up from her phone. "Oh, okay." She says standing up and climbing out my window. "What are you doing, I need to say goodbye to my parents." I say opening my bedroom door and pulling her from the window before shutting it tight and shoving her out of the door. "Wow, I like this Riley, she's cool." Maya says before we walk into the kitchen. I smirk at her. "Cool?" I ask a little to quickly. "I guess." She says shrugging. I hit her shoulder before grabbing a granola bar and a piece of bacon from the table. Maya helps her self as she usually does, grabbing two pieces of bacon and a glass of orange juice. My mother comes out to Maya looking in the fridge. "What are you looking for hunny?" My mother asks looking over at me and then Maya, I shrug letting out a laugh. "Maya will be Maya." I say, dragging her away from the fridge. I kiss my mum on the cheek before Farkle buzzes through. "Farkle." I walk over and buzz him in. "Okay, goodbye mum, see you after." I say swinging the bag over my shoulder properly and walking out the door where Farkle is already stood. "Ladies." He says continuing to walk with us. "Farkle." Me and Maya say in unison, we all laugh and walk to the subway. It wasn't that busy this morning so we managed to get seats.

Once we got into school Brandon was already there to meet me. I walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Morning, sugarplum." He says intertwining our hands, it was cold and there was no sparks or warmth. Maya just walked in behind us with Farkle by her side, ever since I introduced them they'd become great friends and Maya understood Brandon.

As we walked through the school a lot of people payed attention as Brandon was the schools bad boy and I was the schools...whatever. "Well, me and Farkle are going to our lockers which are the other side of the hall." Maya points over to the lockers as she said, to the other side of the hall before walking off and dragging Farkle along with her. I open my locker and shove my gym clothes in, I feel arms wrap around me from the back and rough lips starting to kiss my neck. "Brandon, stop." I say quivering. "What's wrong, am I not aloud to kiss you anymore?" He says sounding strict and annoyed. "It's not like that, we're in the school hallways and I'd rather not be known as a slut." I say harshly closing my locker before taking a quick glance at Maya. "You think that's what reputation I'm going to give you?" He asks angrily, grabbing my wrist. I pull it away. "I will not be treated like a doll Brandon, I'm not one of those weak little girls, now get your hands off of me and go find your friends while I go back to mine." I say barging past him and walking over to Maya. "Everything okay?" Farkle asks me looking at my bruised wrist. "Yeh, everything's fine." I say pulling my sleeve and jacket down more. I wish I didn't bruise so easily, it's not as if it actually hurt anyway, Brandon likes to grab at me all the time. We walk into our first class which was chemistry and sat down in seats, I'd normally sit at the front but the back is looking pretty good as little miss perfect is currently sitting at the front. Avery Morgan. As I walk straight to the back I'm joined by Brandon and Maya sits by Farkle. I pull out my books and turn to face Brandon. "Let's forget all that happened this morning." I whisper so only me and him can hear it. "Yeh, but I'm not forgetting that you owe me something." He says right into my ear. I hated this and I hated him. "So, if you didn't know my name is Mrs. Jones and I will be assigning you your partners on a piece of paper, please don't all rush over at once but the piece of paper is on here as well as the seating chart." The teacher calls out, I slowly push my seat out walking over to the piece of paper on the wall. Please be Maya. Please be Maya. Oh come on, be Maya. I put my Pointer finger on the page and drag it down until I find my name, Riley Mathews and Lucas Friar. I start to laugh, Maya's idea probably. "Maya very funny." I say as she walks over to me not laughing at all. I stop laughing and point out the name on the sheet along side mine, I watch her face as her eyes widen. "Yeh, hunny, id love to tell you that was me, but it wasn't." Maya says placing her hand on my shoulder.

I completely freeze as I hear his voice as he stands directly in front of me. "Sorry I'm la-" his voice cuts off as his eyes meet with mine. He also froze, we both continued to look at each other before I looked down at the floor pulling my lips together. I stay like that before looking back up at him. "Riley." He says smirking. "Lucas." I say flatly and look away to Brandon who has a face full of anger and confusion. "You know her?" Brandon asks Lucas standing in front of me. "Yeh, I know her well, but I don't know you." He says confidently. I know for a fact none of this is actually happening, it's a dream, it has to be...I wanted it to be. "I'm Brandon, Riley's boyfriend." Brandon says taking my hand, I slightly smile at him, well fake a smile anyway. "Oh, well it nice to meet you." Lucas says with a hint of pain in his voice, you see that's the thing, I could recognise pain anywhere, I'd felt it for a long time now and I wanted it gone more than nothing but it stayed as much as I'd tried to get rid of it, it just come rushing all back in as the person who caused the pain was standing right in front of me. "Yeh, I can't say the same thing." Brandon says grabbing my hand tighter. It was starting to hurt. "You can let go now." I whisper to him and his grip loosens. Lucas walks to the back where our seats are and sits down smiling at me, this smile was different though, it was more of a desperate smile. I slowly walk to the back, but a hand grips my arm. "Mrs, I'm sure she doesn't have to sit there right?" Brandon says causing me too turn to face him. "It's fine Brandon, it's just a seat." I say pulling my arm from his grip and sitting in the seat next to Lucas, I could already feel the warmth from him, it's something that id been desperate to feel.

The class started with a movie presentation, but Lucas' movie seemed to be me as that's where his eyes were locked. "The movies there." I say pointing to the front of the class and keeping my eyes there too. "Nah, I'm watching a different one." He says and I can see him smirking in the corner of my eye, plus I know him too well to be able to tell that he smirks at almost anything. I turn to face him looking right in his green eyes, you see I turned around with confidence and then I lost it as soon as I looked at him. Lucas friar, why did you have this effect on me?

I turned back around to face the movie or whatever, but I was to busy thinking for whatever was on the projector board. Why was he here? Did he follow me or something? Maybe not and I'm just overthinking as my usual self normally does. "What's this new look anyway?" He whispers  as he keeps his head to the front of the class. "I changed, I'm sure you have too,  everyone changes Lucas." I whisper back turning to face him now. "I don't like it, I think it's a coverup." He whispers as he turns to face me. "Well it's not." I whisper rolling my eyes and turning back around. "Did you miss me." He whispers into my ear sending shivers down my back. I was stuck in saying no. "No." I say shaking off any effect he had on me. A warm hand found it self on my thigh, and a spark flew up my leg. "I bet you missed this though." He whispers in to my ear rubbing further up my thigh. I was frozen I couldn't move, his comment I must say wasn't completely wrong. "This effect I have on you is so amusing and completely adorable." He whispers again moving his hand further up. I hit his hand of my thigh. "Don't touch me, I have a boyfriend remember." I whisper through gritted teeth. He puts his hands up. "Okay, okay." He says not to loudly. He comes closer to me brushing his lips against mine. "but we don't have to tell." He says whispering against my lips, I push him away and look to see Brandon still facing forward. That's when I did something I almost immediately regretted, I grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the door with no one noticing, I pulled him into the janitors closet and pulled his head close to mine, I tangled my hands in his hair as our lips connected and we both got lost in each other's kiss. I did miss this, I missed him but this couldn't work, but it could for now.

WOW.
