A New Beginning

Big News

Riley POV:

"Hey, Riles," Lucas softly speaks next to me in our dark bedroom. 

"Yes sir," I joke back.

"Have you ever thought about how many kids you want?"

"Well, we already have two, so maybe four more."

"Umm did you say four more?" 

"Yes, I did."

"I was thinking like one more, Riles." Lucas says while grabbing my hand and playing with the rings on it.

"You know, that actually sounds like a good idea." I agree.

"What names do you like?"

"Well, I like Ivy Grace, Hope, Primrose, Daisy, Easton, and Blue." I suggest. I actually have been thinking about what I would name my future children lately. It's one of those fun things to do when you're bored.

"Those are all really great, babe."

"Well what names do you like, Lucas?"

"I'm not certain yet, but I like the sound of Sabrina, Jade, Nalani, Elijah, Anthony, and Julian."

"Why do so many names have to be amazing?" I whine.

"Well, if you have more than one kid, then you have multiple great names."

"Don't you mean 'we'?"

"How do you know that we are getting married, Riley? We are only 18 right now, and college is coming up."

"I know because I have faith in us. We are fake married right now for Pete's sake!" I retort and roll my eyes even though Lucas can't see them in the comfortable darkness that is in our room. 

"How do you have faith in us when we are 18?"

"Because, Lucas, I love you." With that, I close my eyes and turn around so my back is to him.

"I love you too, Princess, I always will." Lucas replies, gently kissing the top of my head, and I feel him slip an arm around me as I drift off to sleep.

Maya POV:

As soon as I wake up I rush to change into light jeans and a maroon and black stripped shirt. I slip on my black Vans and run a brush through my hair. I am so excited to tell Riley the great news!

"Farkle you better hurry up! The kids and I are waiting!" I announce as Skylar, Owen, and I stand near the door. 

"Maya, we are never this early." Farkle says walking into the kitchen to grab a granola bar. 

"I know, but I just really want to tell Riley about my news." I reply swinging the door open. I hit the power button on my phone to check the time.  Riley and Lucas usually have left by now, so I have to tell her at school. So much for being really early.

*********************

"Riley!" I yell through the crowded hallway, trying to weave my way through. This place can give a person serious claustrophobia. I see a brunette's head whip around so I rush to them.

"I'm so glad to see you-" I begin to break the news as I realize that the brunette is not Riley, but in fact my enemy- Missy Bradford. "Whoopsie! Not the right brunette!" I say pivoting on my feet, trying to avoid another fight and another suspension as a result.

I feel her icy hand lay on my shoulder. "Not so fast, Hart."

I turn to face her, rolling my eyes. "What do you want Bradford, I am looking for my best friend."

"Oh that's just it." She begins and I give her a if you touch my friend I'll beat you up look. "Some random, cute guy just shoved her in the closet over there."

If looks could kill; everyone at that stupid school would be dead. That's the next look I gave her.

"You made that up, I'm not an idiot." I respond trying to keep my cool, knowing Lucas wouldn't let anyone touch her like that.

"Oh, I'd beg to differ." She replies and that's all it takes.

I swing my left fist art her face and it hits her nose, making it bleed ever so slightly. She scoffs and tries to punch me back, but I block it with my own hand.

"I don't know if you realize, but instead of spending every free hour of time I have to go and buy more make up to plaster on my face to make me look like a fake porcelain b-" Is all I have the chance to say before someone else smacks Missy with a chemistry textbook and she falls, causing her precious face to hit a locker. 

I look to find the owner of the textbook to be in fact, the one and only Huckleberry. "Well, aren't you so tough using a textbook instead of your fist." I kid raising my hand for him to high five. "But seriously, thanks. You did us all a favor." I say after he high fives me.

"No problem, Short Stack." He replies.

The crowd splits, but I can't see why until the principle is standing in front of us ordering Lucas and me to report to his office immediately.

"There's too many jerks in this school to not be in the office." I say under my breath. Lucas hears my comment and nods in my direction.

So much for telling Riley my big news.

A/N: Okay so I FINALLY updated this book! I am sooooo sorry for making y'all wait forever. I took a break for a little while without informing you guys, but I'm back :).
