It all started when I met him.

A day I will never forget.

It was a Friday in our senior year and Sarah was trowing a party, which our little gang attended. Smackle and Farkle were chatting at the pool, Zay was wing-manning Lucas to a girl and Riley and I were complaining about our parents and drinking a beer.

"Refill?', I asked.

"Sure."

And there he was.

Tall, wild, curly brown hair, tinted skin, dark brown eyes. oh, those eyes.

"Beer?"

"If you will." And when he was refilling my cup, we started talking.

His name was Chris, and he was a college student. He was here with a friend, the nephew of Sarah, and his best friend.

We started talking. About everything. I pointed out my friends and the silly things they did. We laughed at Farkle, who was thrown into the pool by Smackle, waving at Riley and trying to introduce her to Chris' best friend.

The talking let to getting thrown into the pool with Smackle and Farkle and before we knew the party turned into a poolparty. And the poolparty let to making out.

I still can hear the cheering from my friends.

He brought me home, and didn't try to force himself into my pants.

What a gentlemen.

The next Monday Riley questioned everything, although there wasn't much to tell, we were meeting for the movies on Wednesday. I asked if Riley and Zack, Chris' best friend, wanted to join us, but she told me that it didn't work out with Zack.

Of course I was sad to hear that, it sounded much fun in my head if Chris' best friend and my best friend were also dating. Maybe there would be a other chance.

The next few weeks went very fast though and it didn't take long before we called each other boyfriend and girlfriend.

When one day Lucas asked me if I could join the gang at Topanga's after school, I told him I had plans with Chris.

He felt uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?"

"We wanted to talk with you about Chris."

I laughed. "What's there to talk about?"

"We uhm..."he looked around "We heard some things about Chris and they weren't good."

"Well, what are they about', I asked.

"Are you aware of Chris' drug and alcohol abuse?"

"What? No, Chris isn't that type of guy. He is good and... Those are only rumors."

"Maya-"

"No Lucas. Seriously what's wrong with you? I finally meet a nice guy and you're trying to ruin it all."

"Maya, please- "

But I stormed off.

Oh, what we could've avoid if I just had listened.
