[ Maya's POV; ]

We were sitting around the coffee table in Topanga's. The table was covered in loose papers and textbooks. "I'm still angry that Mr. Jacobs didn't make us lab partners."

"It's because you kept bugging him about it. You pissed off the man in charge. Now I actually have to do work."

"It's just Lucas. It could be worst. At least he knows what he's doing." Farkle reassured me as he jotted something down in his notebook.

I sighed and threw my head back. "Don't even remind me that I have to work with that Huckleberry."

This was our place. Where we hang out and do our homework. I often found myself looking at the chairs to my left. That's where Lucas and Zay used to sit. Now it's just Me, Riley, Farkle, and the occasional Isadora. Everything has changed.

"Don't be mad at me." Riley lifted her head from her history book and looked at me.

"I could never be mad at you." I stared at her confused, but when I heard the voice, my eyes darkened, "Seriously Riley?"

"Isn't it nice to have the whole gang back together?" Lucas and Zay sat in their chairs and high fived each other. Lucas turned his head towards the rest of the group and when his eyes landed on me, his smile faded. "Riley, I thought you said she wasn't going to be here."

"It's good to see you too." I rolled my eyes and started on my algebra homework.

One would think he'd be smart enough to take a hint. "I saw you talking to Josh earlier. What was that about?"

"That's between me and him. As in, mind your own business." The attitude rolled off my tongue.

Lucas grabbed his book and moved next to me. "Are you two finally making it official?"

"Why do you want to know so badly?" I snapped at him and the group fell silent.

He smirked and tilted his head, "I just wanted to wish him luck. You can be a handful."

"Just leave her alone, dude." Zay tried to shut him up.

I stared at Lucas' smug face and bit my lip. "It's okay. If he really wants to know that badly I'll tell him." Smirking, I placed my textbook on the table. "He was making sure I was okay after the hell you've been putting me through this week. Why would he do that? Unlike some people he actually gives a shit about my feelings."

He stayed quiet and looked away from me. "Yeah, okay."

"Oh and he told me what happened freshman year. Josh actually saved me while you were too busy trying to save your reputation."

Lucas rolled his eyes and looked over at me. "That's ridiculous?"

"Is it really? If I remember correctly, you didn't want to be associated with the school slut. You didn't want our friendship to come between you and Jaycee." I stood up and walked away from table. I could feel my face turning red with anger. "The really sad part is that you broke up with her a month later."

"You two need to calm down." I could hear the worry in Riley's voice as she looked between Lucas and me.

"Riley, how am I supposed to calm down when he literally chose some girl he only knew for two weeks over our friendship?"

Lucas stood in front of me and raised his voice. "You told me to be with her!"

"I never told you to treat me like dirt!"

We were both heated. Lucas was doing that thing where his nostrils flare up when his angry. I was as red as a hot pepper. "Stop fighting!"

Farkle yelled and we all snapped our heads in his direction. "I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are all sick and tired of you two being at each other's necks all the time. We can't even eat our muffins without one of you catching an attitude."
