17-year-old, aurora 'motormouth' cadence deserved to wash her mouth with soap. there was absolutely no filter. whatever came through her mind is what she spoke. she was sarcastic, opinionated, and liked to put herself in the spotlight. so when she decides to talk back to the ever-so-loved golden boy, joshua matthews, she definitely knew it was time to wash her mouth with soap, but that wasn't even the beginning.

Lucas Friar, the new kid, is kind of sort of a nerd. He devotes all the time he has to get good grades and study for tests. He never gets detention and most definitely doesn't get involved in fights. His best friend is the dorky but extremely intelligent Farkle Minkus. Yet, he is haunted by his past. Maya Hart, the rebel, is kind of sort of intimidating. She doesn't let anyone cross her, and the only person she trusts is a cheerful girl named Riley Matthews. She's the one you'd hear arguing with the teacher, or getting in constant trouble. However, she has a life no one knows about. And the two meet. They become friends, if you could call it that, but they soon come to ask each other, "Are you who I think you are?" - high school au / pairings: lucaya, rilaya, larkle, riarkle trigger warnings: underage drinking, minor violence, cussing.
