Lucas Friar. Maya Hart. Riley Matthews. Farkle Minkus. What happened to this dynamic quartet after 7th grade? Lucas, a scholar, got into college. A really prestigious one in New York with his beloved girlfriend. Riley. Farkle Minkus went to law school, also in New York. Maya. Maya never had the talent for college. She never got a scholarship, to anywhere- except for the only art school she'd ever wanted to go to. The one in her community in Philadelphia. Everything changes. Farkle is completely submerged in his work. He won't spend 2 minutes talking to any of them. Lucas falls for, guess who, Missy. Riley is completely heart broken and now is exactly like Farkle- cutting everyone away. Maya is- Alone. Until she meets the one and only Lucas Friar again for the first time in 5 years.
