It had been 3 years since Maya last saw Lucas Friar. On this very day; New Year's Eve.

Things were left...complicated.

She already new she'd see him again at Riley and Farkle's New Year's party. But she couldn't help questioning it.

Had he changed?

Was it different?

Were they still friends?

M A Y A

I walked into Riley and Farkle's apartment, since I promised I'd come by around 45 minutes before the party and help setting everything up.

I inhaled sharply; wondering whether Lucas was there as well, helping.

"Peaches!" I heard my best friend, Riley Mathews Minkus exclaim running over to engulf me in her embrace.

"Hey honey! Happy New Years!" I replied, smiling brightly.

I wore some dark pants, a fancy shirt, and a coat. Riley was wearing a brightly colored romper.

"Lucas is here too, to help set up!" Riley informed me, quietly. I felt my heart beat in my chest, and a sweat coming on.

"Is it hot in here?" I asked, taking off my coat, and resting it on the couch.

"Um not really-" Riley trailed off, her smile turning into a concerned look, she then opened her mouth and whispered out, "are you nervous, peaches?"

"What, me, no! No way, I am fine, everything's okay!"

"I don't think she's okay." I heard a farmiliar voice say. I swung my head around to see Zay Babineaux standing in the doorway.

"ZAY!" I shouted in excitement, as Riley and I ran over to hug him.

"Everything okay?!" I heard an extremely, way too farmiliar voice call out.

It felt like my entire body froze until I slowly turned around to see Lucas Friar standing in the distance, with some confetti in his grip.

"Hey Maya." He greeted me, easing the tension of the awkward silence.

"Hi Lucas." I replied, awkwardly tucking a piece of my hair behind my ears.

"I was just wondering if anyone could help me hang this banner?" Lucas asked, pursing his lips together.

No one answered.

I knew I had to show everybody tonight wasn't gonna be awkward.

"Um, I'll help you." I suggested, painting a forced smile on my face.

"Uh...yeah, thanks that'd be great." Lucas replied, smiling genuinely.

"Or I could help, if you'd like." Zay offered, trying to get us out of an 'awkward' situation.

"No, it's okay, thanks though."

"Yeah, uh, follow me." Lucas informed me, pointing at the wall in the living room.

"Sure."

"Okay, that looks great, Zay can you help me with food? And Farkle, can you please get the drinks?" Riley asked, smiling as she swept down the hall into the kitchen, with Zay and Farkle following behind.

Everyone left.

We were alone.

"So Maya, I haven't seen you forever, how's everything been?" Lucas asked me, as we stood on the ladder either side of the living room, handing up the banner.

"Good thanks, how about you?" I asked, questioning whether he was still working at that doctor place. 

"Yeah, I am still a doctor in the ER, and uh-" Lucas trailed off, before I cut him off.

"Girlfriend; do you have a girlfriend?" The words fumbled out of my mouth, "uh, no, sorry don't wanna get too personal-"

"No, it's fine, I am single, no girlfriend, how about you?" He asked, smiling at my awkward question.

"Same, single, very single, extremely single." I exclaimed, an awkward look spread across my face along with a forced smile.

"Okay, that's good." Lucas said, "uh, not that that's great, unless it is, or something-"

I giggled in response.

Crowds of people filled the Minkus's apartment, loud music played, people chattered amongst themselves.

"GUYS IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT EVERYONE ON THE ROOF!" Riley proclaimed to the crowd.

Everyone made their way upstairs to gaze upon the starry night sky of New Year's Eve.

"Hey Maya, wait up!" I heard Lucas's voice call out.

I swung my head and body around to see Lucas standing in the corner of the roof. I paced myself walking towards him.

"It's almost midnight-" Lucas trailed off, "and I'm glad you're standing here."

A smile lit up my face, as I remembered our first New Years together.

"5,

4,

3,

2,

1,

HAPPY NEW YEARS!" The crowd chanted, and Lucas moved towards my lips and crashed them against his.

When we pulled apart, I smiled onto his lips.

"I love you, Maya Hart."

"I love you, Lucas Friar."
