This will be a very long author's note. So as some of you guys know, I took a little break from writing GMW and some stories for a while. I started this story about a year and a half ago in 2016 and put it on hiatus a while ago. I am editing the first three chapters so it will look a little better, so don't freak out if some things are different.

The gang is in high school and Riley is mad at Lucas because... well, he separated from the group. This is sort of AU. Alright. I'll stop talking now and let you read the story.

A few things are different:

1. Riley and Josh are twins

2. Missy is not their friend (In the beginning) (Unlike my other stories) (Missy will become their friend )

3. Riley and Maya are cheerleaders

4. They go to Snowflake Hills Academy

5. Cory is the History teacher and the Principal

16-year old Riley Matthews sat in her bay window, brushing her hair and humming a song. She liked the 'peace time' she rarely got, because of her friends. Not that she minded them, of course. But when she got her 'Peace Time' she liked to think. Today, she was thinking about what people knew her as.

To her best friends, she was known as "Riles" or "Honey" or "Princess Dancing Sunshine" (although the last one she mostly referred herself to).

To the Cheerleading team, she was known as "Captain" "Head Cheerleader" or "Close Friend".

To Missy and her fellow goon, Amanda, she was known as "Little Miss Slut", "Stupid" or one of their personal favorites to use, "The Quirkiest girl Who Couldn't Even Hold On to Her Man".

To everyone else, she was "Hot", "Best Friend You Could Ever Have" or some other weird name.

But Riley mostly didn't care about these names. Instead, she thought about how happy Maya was with Josh, her twin whom was currently out playing with Auggie. And how happy Farkle was with Smackle. Missy was happy with Lucas, but Riley wasn't sure it was accurate the other way around.

Lucas. Stupid Lucas Friar. He was the quirkerback or something on the football team (Riley didn't know or really care). He had the most dazzling smile, charming manner, and drop-dead gorgeous eyes.

Stop it, Riley told herself. You hate him, remember?

When they first came to Snowflake Hills Academy High School (a.k.a SHAHS), everyone wanted to do different things. Riley wanted to do Cheerleading and Student Body. She actually became really good at cheerleading and worked her way up to Captain. She also became Homecoming Queen and President of 11th Grade.

Maya wanted to join the art club and Photography Club. To everyone's surprise, she tried out for the cheerleading team and made it. Maya said it was to watch Riley, but Riley could tell Maya was enjoying herself. Maya became a yearbook editor. She and Josh started dating.

Speaking of Josh, who was on the football team became closer to the rest of the group of swelling numbers, instead of just Riley and Maya.

Farkle and Smackle wanted a higher education, as always. But Smackle wanted to try something new - sewing and fashion.

Zay joined the drama class and was also taking hip-hop classes.

Last and certainly least (At least in Riley's mind), Lucas. He joined the football team and ditched them. No one knows why, but he hasn't turned Ito Texas Lucas...yet. Riley saw him hugging on a brunette and dancing with her, and enough was enough. Riley dumped his ass, sent back his promise ring and hasn't spoken to him since.

About a year later, Lucas and Missy were the most talked-about couple in the school. Riley was jealous (She still is), but because she didn't hang out with him, she had no right to interfere.

Now, she was dating Charlie Gardner. Riley wasn't sure if what they were doing was even considered dating. It was more like he was just a friend that Riley went out with a lot. When Riley asked him about it, he just shrugged and said, "Maybe we just weren't meant to be." They've never even kissed.

"Sweetie," Topanga called from the kitchen. "Get dressed, I'm fixing breakfast!"

"'Kay Mom," she called back.

As Riley got dressed, she couldn't help but wonder, Will I ever find my meant to be?
