Girl Meets Girl
Once again, Lucas Friar had left Riley Mathews utterly confused.
She had no idea what to do anymore. One day, he was this sweet guy who wouldn't hurt a fly, the next, he would go off threatening anyone who dared to say something rude to his friends.
She admired how much he cared for the people who were close to him, but it still confused her how quickly and suddenly he could change.
Another thing that confused her was his feelings towards her. It confused her in two separate ways. You see, at times Lucas would stare at her with that look of adoration in his eyes, making her think that everything would be all fine and dandy if they tried to date.
But other times, when they actually did try to be together, she could see how uncomfortable he was, how he didn't want to be doing this. She could see that in his eyes too, and it confused her to an endless point.
But his feelings also confused her in a somewhat different way. She found it hard to explain, even to herself.
Basically, she found it confusing how at times he wanted to be with her, but when he finally got to be with her he would act differently. But she also found it confusing how he looked at her so admirably but he also gave that very same look to Maya, yet it always varied somehow, depending on who he was looking at.
This whole thing was so hard to contemplate; half the time she thought about it she would end up with a headache.
I bet you're incredibly confused as well. Well, Lucas Friar was very hard to understand.
He was just…Different.
He acted two different ways in two different situations.
And he loved two different girls who couldn't be more different.
Yeah, he was different and confusing. Very, very confusing.
Riley sat at her bay window after another day of trying to fathom what was going on with her best guy friend. (Apart from Farkle, of course)
Maya swooped in through the window, a large grin on her face from finally being able to hang out with her best friend.
"Hey Riles," She bounced into her usual spot, right beside the young brunette.
"Hi Maya." What? What was up with that dull tone? Why no Peaches? Why just Maya?
"Something bothering you?" Maya cut to the chase, wanting to know what was wrong, immediately.
"Lucas…He…" She began, unable to continue.
Earlier that day, Riley had tried asking Lucas about them, about what they were. She had asked at a bad time, he was quite frustrated with Zay as he had gotten himself into some deep trouble with a group of troublesome guys, and so Lucas ended up yelling at her.
Of course she knew it was an accident but it still hurt her.
Especially since after he got the group of boys to leave Zay alone, he turned to Riley and went all wild on her, saying exactly this, "I don't know what we are Riley! Tell me when you've made up your mind about what we are." He then walked off, pushing a hand roughly through his short blond hair.
Now that stung.
Yes, he was mad and frustrated and she shouldn't have let it get to her, but it did, and so she came back home and sat at her bay window for an hour trying to understand why he had to confuse her so much.
"I know." Maya said, shooting her a bittersweet smile.
"I just can't believe he would do that." Riley frowned down at her hands which lay motionlessly in her lap.
"Well, he is a boy. Boy's never know what they're doing." Maya shrugged, trying to get Riley to stop reminding herself of the prior events.
"Yeah, I guess…" Riley muttered, continuing to look away from her best friend.
"Do you see the way he looks at you, Maya?" She finally looked up into the blonde girl's blue eyes, hurt showing in her own brown ones.
"I see the way he looks at you." Maya told her, now trying to avoid her gaze.
"He looks at you the same way." Riley told her, fiddling with her thumbs.
"Okay…Maybe he does." Maya attempted to keep her eyes to the ground.
"He does Maya. I see it. He looks at us the same way, and I know you see it too." Riley said, staring at the side of Maya's face, "He may like me, but he likes you too."
"I…" Maya began, wanting to argue but dropping it, knowing that Riley was right, "Boys are confusing."
"Yeah, they are." Riley nodded, as Maya looked back up at her.
"Guess all you can do is dump'em. Just let them go. If you don't hold on to them, they can't confuse you. They can't hurt you." Maya uttered, "But don't worry Riles, we'll find the right person. We both will. I know it."
Riley continued to look at her, watching her beautiful blue eyes and Maya stared back into those pretty brown doe eyes of hers.
"Yeah, I know it too."
And with one swift motion, without either of them even realizing it, they leaned forward.
And so, their lips pressed together, erupting a new and weird sensation in both their stomachs.
They pulled away, ever so slowly, about 5 seconds later, staring at one another with soft eyes, not yet understanding what just happened.
But when they did, both their eyes widened in utmost shock.
"Peaches, did we just…?" Riley questioned, barely able to speak.
"Yeah, I think we did…" Maya responded, frozen in place.
"Um…What do we do now?" The brunette queried, not knowing what was going on.
"I don't know…"
They stayed silent after that, both of them staring at the ground, trying to contemplate the current events.
After a few more moments of silence, one of them spoke.
"Did you like it?"
"Did I like the…?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah, I did." Riley answered, still not raising her head.
"Cool." Maya kept her head down as well, but a tiny little smile appeared on her face.
Silence erupted once more.
And then, another voice.
"So…Are we…?"
"Do you want us to be?"
"I want to try. But I also don't know. I have no idea…" Riley answered, earning a nod from the blonde beside her, whose head was still not raised.
Again, they went silent.
Until one of them spoke up again.
"Do you like me?"
"Maybe." The other answered, "Do you like me?"
"Maybe." Maya whispered, a hidden blush appearing on her cheeks.
And for the fourth time, silence fell upon them.
And yet again, one of them had something to say.
"Do you want to think about everything and talk about it tomorrow?"
"Yup."
"Great." Riley looked up, just as Maya did, and they both grew a bit flushed.
"Well, uh…" Maya began, "I'll see you tomorrow." A tiny smile showing up on her swollen lips.
"Yeah, tomorrow." Riley smiled back, as Maya stood up and climbed back out the window.
Well then…Apparently girls are just as confusing as boys.
There are a few more chapters to come. I don't know if other people write Rilaya stories but I find them adorable so there it is. Just wait till Lucas finds out about what went on between them, hehe. Oh and since we have seen Lucas get a little tempered with Riley before I don't think he was too OOC but if he was it'll be fixed later, he won't stay that way.
