It was lunch time, and the cafeteria at Adam's High was packed. Maya and Riley had made their way through the crowds to sit at their usual spots. Something was unusual though. There was a guy sitting in Maya's spot. This guy was a hunk if Maya ever saw one. He was all hers, or so she wished. The girls just gawked at the guy for a while, making him shift uncomfortably in his seat.

He had to break the silence. "Hey there. The name's Lucas. What's yours?" He courteously reached his hand out, expecting a handshake.

Both the girls stood there and gushed with their mouths open. Riley was shy in front of new people, especially attractive new people. Maya could talk to anyone. It didn't faze her in the slightest.

"My name is Maya, and this is Riley, my best friend. You new or something?"

"Actually, yeah. Just drove up from Texas. It's crazy how different it is up here compared to down there."

"Yeah, I can imagine...You're in my seat. Can you scoot over please?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Ma'am? I'm like 14. That's a new one."

"Oh, sorry. It's something we Southerners say out of politeness. We have to call everyone there 'sir' or 'ma'am.'"

"Oh, good to know, sir." Maya teased and gave a bright grin. Riley took a step back. "Put her there."

She shook his hand vigorously, not wanting to let go. He shook her loose. This was getting awkward. To break the tension, Farkle, the school's top-notch student and classic nerd, toddled over to check out the new guy too. He was blushing.

"Oh, hey there. You're in my class with Mr. Matthew's, aren't you? The name is Farkle. Don't wear it out."

"Hi there. It'll be nice to sit next to a friendly face." They bumped fists.

"Oh Farkle, why must you be so...you?" Maya prodded.

"You're just jealous of my name."

"Yeah, that's definitely what it is."

The school bell rang, indicating lunch was over. Before they all went their separate ways, Lucas gave a last, split-second glance toward Maya and Riley.

Odd people here...He thought. Best try to fit in with the bunch.
