Riley is in her room studying when Maya climbs through her window

"Hi Sweetie" she greets

"Peaches" Riley acknowledges  her best friend without taking her eyes off her books.

"So is it my imagination or did I see Lucas' truck parked outside

"I guess, he must be here studying with Josh or something" she dismisses it like it's no big deal

Truth was she knew he was here. She had been avoiding him ever since that day in the cafe. When she heard he was coming over she decided to hide in her room until he left.

"So what you're going to avoid him now. Is this about that whole Missy thing you told me about the other day? I think you're overreacting Riles"

"Maya we're  just too different " Riley says sadly

"Riles you're being ridiculous, it's obvious he likes you" 

"He's just being nice cause i'm Josh's sister"

Maya rolls her eyes  "Oh come on I've seen the way he looks at you. He likes you" Maya insists

"So did you hear Josh broke up with Sophie" Riley says to change the subject

"No, don't try  to cha....wait what?" Maya asks shocked

Riley laughs 

Maya rolls her eyes "So they really broke up? when?'

"The other night he came home and said he dumped her" 

"Wow" was wall Maya could say

"So you gonna go for it?" Riley asks

"Are you going to go for it with Lucas?" Maya fires back

"Touche"

Toponga comes through the door

"Hey girls, Riley please set the table" her mother orders and leaves the room

Riley turns to Maya "You staying for dinner?"

"Can't I just stopped by to say hi, I gotta get home " 

Maya leaves through the window

Riley sighs as she begins to walk to the kitchen

=====================================================================================

At the table 

"Okay that's enough studying for me, my eyes are beginning to burn" Josh starts rubbing his eyes as Lucas chuckles at his friends

"Guys take your stuff off the table so Riley can set  the table for dinner"

Josh and Lucas do as they are told

"So how you doing with the whole break up?"Lucas ask as they finish up clearing the table

"Pretty good, it's like you said We just grew apart"

"I'm sure you'll find someone new" Lucas pats his friend on the back

"Thanks, So what about you? any girl in your life?"

"Uh no,no girl" Lucas answers

"Well maybe someday we'll both find someone and then we could double date" Josh jokes

Lucas laughs a Little "yea maybe someday"

At that moment Riley comes out and begins to set the table

"Hey" Lucas says to try and get her attention. He hadn't seen her since he whole cafe thing with Missy and he hoped they were okay.

Riley looks up "Hey" she says quietly and resumes setting the table
