Being a fan of Boy Meets World, I had to watch the reboot Girl Meets World and became a fan of that as well. Then I had a fanfiction idea; yes, they're all older and in college.

Riley sat in her bay window staring at her phone dazed. She had her own apartment finally and Maya still climbed into her bay window like she did as a kid. Today though, Riley had locked her window. She wanted nothing more than for the same old, same old routine of her life to be different for once. She loved the wild blonde and the way she made every day an adventure of twists and turns, but life had quieted.

Maya had calmed a bit more since they were kids and their adventures had narrowed down to shopping sprees and late night studying that became movie night instead. Sure they had gone to a few parties, all of which had all their old schoolmates and people they knew. Farkle and Smackle, the genius pair, made appearances, but were always stuck like glue at the hips. They were the logic part of the small group of friends.

Then there was Charlie, handsome Charlie Gardner. He, to best describe him, was exactly like the boy you see in those cheesy coming of age movies they show in middle school. The movies where the boy is like something out of a fairytale. It was middle school that Riley and him started dating, in fact; he was so interested in her and pursued her so intensely, she found she couldn't say no to him after a while. She loved him, he maybe too obvious and maybe a little too cheesy, but that was what she liked about him. Still she felt like she was missing something.

And it wasn't until a few days before she realized what it was.

(Few Days Earlier)

Riley strolled into Topanga's, her books in hand eagerly texting Maya. A party was coming up, a get together at the café, and so much more. She was trying to cement their plans when she ran into someone. Books flying from her arms, her phone sliding out of her fingers as well, and coffee spilling everywhere. She looked up in surprise as the coffee burned her bare hands and a young man she'd never seen in the café before stared back at her equally surprised. With a nervous grin she apologized profusely and knelt down to start picking up her coffee soaked things, but a bigger set of hands, a bit rough, stopped her. The young man frowned at her scalded hand and then smiled at her apologetically.

"Sorry about your hands, miss. Let me help you get your things."

His country drawl and manners were refreshing as he called over his shoulder to Katy standing at the counter "Ma'am, could we get a cold compress for this lady's hands, please."

He gathered the papers and books taking them to the counter and spreading them out so they wouldn't stick "I hope these papers weren't anything important. I'd sure hate it if they were."

Riley giggled and shook her head "Thank you, but they aren't too important; nothing that can't be replaced. Also don't worry about my hands, I'm a natural klutz. It was my fault, anyways."

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as Katy came back with an icepack.

"Oh dear, what are we going to do with you? You need to be more careful." Katy sat Riley in a chair placing the rapped up icepack on her hands "Your mom, would have a fit if she saw what happened to you."

The young man cleared his throat "It's just as much my fault as it is hers, ma'am. Would it be too much trouble to get another cup?"

Katy grinned widely "Why certainly, just give me a second." Leaning toward Riley she winking "Nice job, sweetie. You really know how to choose your moments."

Riley's flushed in embarrassment as Katy sauntered off and turned her eyes to her hands sighing. The country boy sat down across from her his eyes were striking, mesmerizing, as he eyed her. She watched him carefully separate her phone and its battery to dry it the best he could. He was almost too kind and charming to be from New York she thought, but then again Charlie was just as nice.

"How's your hands?" he wondered as he watched her fidget uncomfortably.

She smiled and shook her head before curiously looking at him "Better than they were, thanks. You, you're not from around here, are you?"

He laughed heartily which made her heart race like never before "Nope, just moved here from Texas. My name's Lucas, Lucas Friar. I transferred colleges and was just sightseeing to get used to such a lively place. Then I found this quaint café and decided to get a cup of coffee. Then we wore most of my coffee, sorry."

He held out his hand before remembering and then retracted his hand. Lucas scratched his head and went back to drying her phone. Riley smiled at him as he glanced up at her again.

"I'm Riley Mathews, I've lived here all my life so if you have any questions about things I'm sure I can help." She finally replied before curiously asking "So what's Texas like? I don't travel much."

Lucas excitedly started talking about his home town as Katy returned with his coffee silently slipping away from them so they could continue talking. Back and forth the two talked about Lucas's home and his hobbies then about Riley's hobbies. It wasn't until several hours later and a few more cups of coffee that they both looked at the clock.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!"

Riley got up clumsily gathering her things and turned to Lucas apologetically "I'm sorry Lucas, it was nice meeting you and I hope we can talk again sometime. I'm just really late for some plans with my friends, maybe you can meet them if you want some new friends in this big city."

She longed to stay longer as he took her dried out cellphone and started hitting some buttons before handing it over.

"Here you go, that's my number. Send me a message and I'll save your number in my phone too." He grinned as she gawked at her phone "I've never sat down with someone and talked so long before, I hope we can do it again sometime too."

(Fast Forward To The Present)

Riley smiled dreamily at the text on her phone

Hey Riley do you want to hang out sometime soon?

Suddenly a rapping came at her window and she turned to see Maya "Oh no, no, no, no! You open this window and you put down that phone! We're going to that party tonight, remember!"

Maya disappeared as she tried to ignore her and then she heard footsteps; Riley belatedly realized she didn't lock her door and sighed as her best friend came trudging in. Without hesitation her friend grabbed her phone and read the text. Then scrolling up more she realized all the conversation on her phone in the past few days.

"Not this Huckleberry guy again, Riles. You are dating Charlie and he doesn't know that. You have to tell him you're taken or break it off with Charlie if you're not interested anymore. Why are you so hot for him anyways?' Maya sighed as Riley snatched her phone back.

Riley sighed and let her screen go black "I know, but I can't explain it. When I'm with Charlie it's comfortable, but Lucas, there's just something about him. We could talk for hours and still have more to say."

"Party! Party right now with all our friends!" Maya declared as she dragged her friend out of the room.
