Detention and Hartfelt Conversations

Original Post Date: 06/26/2015

Set after Girl Meets Rules.

I couldn't get this out of my head so here we are.

A little AU but who cares.

Enjoy!

oOo

"Sorry you got roped into extra detention Huckleberry." Maya apologized sounding at least 75% sincere.

"Eh, it was my fault too. I should've known better than to kidnap the teachers' daughter." Lucas chuckled.

"Yeah well, there goes your reputation. Lucas The Good goes off the deep end with Maya Penelope Hart." Maya laughed bitterly. "It only took me a year to corrupt you, next time you'll know to stick with Riley."

She glanced again at the clock, they still had thirty minutes left of their godforsaken detention. She stared at the clock willing the time to fly faster, she really didn't want to walk home by herself in the dirty streets of New York.

Riley had Mr. Matthews to see her home safely.

And she, well, she had no one.

What a comforting thought

"No I won't," said the voice behind her.

She'd been so caught up in her thoughts she'd missed the frown lines that had formed on Lucas' head.

"Sorry Ranger Rick I don't know what you're talking about." Maya sighed.

"I meant if we had to do this all again, I'd choose you."

Maya sat up, slowly removing her legs from where they'd been resting atop of her desk. She swiveled in her seat, turning to get a good look at him.

He just stared back at her, his eyes strangely intense.

Her only question was, "Why?"

Sighing he looked away, "Because I'd probably go bat shit crazy if I stayed with Riley."

Maya blinked shocked at his admission and disappointed with his answer. As usual she was Maya Hart, no one's first choice and everyone's last resort.

Lucas released the breath he was holding, "Feels so good to finally get that off my chest."

"Yeah." Turning back around she went back to staring at the clock.

Twenty minutes

"That's it that's all you have to say?" Lucas asked incredulously.

"What am I supposed to say Lucas, that I'm happy you don't like Riley, that I'm pissed off that I'm not your first choice just the pitiful alternative, that somehow I manage to screw up every person that ever has the unfortunate pleasure of getting to know me? Go ahead take your pick."

"You're not my second choice Maya. If I remember correctly you speed dated me before Riley had the chance to." He smiled his lips quirking up.

"That doesn't count." Maya grumbled.

"In my book it does."

"Whatever, just stay away from Riley, she's too fragile for you to be messing with her like that." She warned taking extra care to give him her best stink eye.

Lucas just smiled infuriatingly at her.

"What?" Maya snapped.

"I find it adorable that you honestly think Riley's more fragile than you, if anything it's the other way around." Lucas caught a strand of her golden hair that was lying on his desk before looking at her seriously, "I've always found it endearing that you go out of your way to protect Riley so she never becomes as jaded as you."
