A/N: New Story! I'm so excited for you guys to read this! One of my favorites that I've written. Please enjoy!
I don't own GMW, just the plot of this story.
Chapter 1: "New Guy"
Maya stood at her locker, rummaging through random discarded papers until she found the notes she needed for her first class. Her blonde hair hung loose over her shoulders and swung back and forth as she bounced around to see into her dark locker.
"Peaches!" Riley called over her shoulder. Maya looked behind her to see her best friend walk up to her. She carried two muffins in her hand: one banana nut muffin for herself and one blueberry one for Maya. Blueberry was her favorite and Riley knew it. Twice a week in the mornings Riley would go with her dad to the café down the street and pick up muffins. She always got an extra one for Maya.
"Hi honey. Muffin time?" Maya asked excitedly, reaching her hands out for the muffin. Riley placed the brown paper wrapped bakery item in Maya's tiny hands before taking a bite of her own. "Mmmm. I never get tired of these!"
"I know right! Best muffins in the city!" Riley answered, wiping several muffin crumbs from her mouth. "Just don't tell my mom I said that."
Both girls got a laugh in before Maya turned away to continue her search for her biology notes. Riley looked on with an amused gaze at how disorganized her best friend could be sometimes. It was funny the way all her art supplies and works were always so neat and orderly. Her paint brushes were always cleaned and kept in their respective tins. Her artworks were laid out nice either in the school art room in her unfinished work cubby or at home in their spot under the window. Her sketchbooks were placed on a shelf in her room with all her fancy sketching pencils, the ones Riley gave to her for Christmas the year before, on the same shelf right next to the stack.
But her school things; those were always a little bit of a mess. Riley had tried many times to help Maya develop some kind of organizational system for her school items like she had for her art supplies, but they always only lasted about a week before Maya would start tossing papers and books anywhere again.
"What are you looking for this time?" Riley asked, an amused smirk on her face.
"My biology notes! I know I threw them in here!" Maya answered. She took a moment to ignore her issue to take a bite of her muffin. But she quickly went back to looking through the pile of loose papers.
"Well maybe if you didn't just 'throw' papers in your locker, you would be able to find things. Like notes," Riley smirked.
"Or maybe I left them in my notebook?" Maya remarked to herself, ignoring Riley's comment. "Did I even bring a notebook to class last week?" she asked. Her question was met with silence. "Riley?"
The blonde didn't bother turning her eyesight to Riley. But that only meant she didn't notice Riley was too busy to answer her question; too busy staring at the thing just about every other girl in the hallway was staring at.
Two boys had just walked in the front door of the school. Riley could tell immediately that they were both new. Riley knew just about every face in school, she prided herself on it. But never in her life had she laid eyes on either of these boys. One of them was handsome, a light skinned boy with a charming smile on his face. But the other boy, the other boy was what the girls had their eyes on. He was taller than the first boy, with short blonde hair and piercing green eyes. A blue t-shirt hugged his arms perfectly and shaped every curve. Riley couldn't find a feature on him that she didn't find absolutely perfect. Her wonder-struck eyes followed him closely as he walked down the hallway.
"Riley?" Maya asked, finally looking at her. Riley's head snapped around to see Maya snapping her fingers in front of her face to try and get her attention. "What are you staring at?"
"Did you see him?" Riley asked. Her gaze turned back down the hall in the direction that blonde boy had disappeared to.
"See who?" Maya wondered, still deep in her search for the right notes.
"I don't know," Riley answered, "but I'm going to find out."
"Ha! Found them!" Maya exclaimed just as the morning bell rang. She slide her notes into her bag and grabbed a couple pens from her locker before continuing down the hall to her first class. Riley walked with Maya, since their classes were right next to each other, and did her best to describe the features of the boy she had just seen. Maya was only half listening. She heard so many times about boys Riley thought were cute that she was a pro at this point at only half listening, but seeming like she was hanging on Riley's every word.
Little did Maya know, she would have to listen to this kind of thing for a while, even after she left Riley at the doorway to her classroom. All through the class the two girls sitting behind Maya were whispering to each other about some new guy they saw before class. Neither one knew his name, but the features they used to describe him sounded an awful lot like the way Riley had described him. It didn't begin to really surprise Maya until she heard whispers about this boy in both her second class and her third class. She finally learned that his name was Lucas but no one really seemed to be whispering about anything real about him. The only things she really seemed to be hearing was 'how cute he was' and 'how perfect his arms were.' If Maya had to hear another comment about his cheekbones, she was pretty sure she would actually puke.
Lunch time finally came around. Maya sat at her usual table with Farkle and Riley. The two were already seated when Maya sauntered over with her tray of food. She arrived in the middle of a conversation between her friends.
"Farkle you have to tell me about him!" Riley begged.
"Why do you need to know Riley?" Farkle complained.
"Who are you talking about?" Maya asked. Riley's forehead was already wrinkled with concern that she wouldn't get the information she was begging Farkle for.
"Lucas!"
"Oh my god what is it with this new guy? Why is everyone talking about him?" Maya had yet to even see this guy. She was expecting him to have angel wings at the very least with the way everyone was talking about him.
"Because he's perfect Maya!" Riley exclaimed before letting her eyes fall back onto Farkle. "Will you please tell me what you know?"
Farkle smirked, knowing he couldn't escape the question. Riley was relentless with this kind of thing. "Fine. But there's not much to tell. He just moved here from Texas. He's an athlete; pretty much guaranteed a spot on the baseball team."
"How?"
"He was apparently some star player on the baseball team back at his old school," Farkle answered, ignoring the starry look in Riley's eyes.
Maya wasn't as impressed. "Great. He's probably got the cocky attitude to match," she commented, sticking her fork into her spaghetti. Farkle laughed at the comment, which he agreed with. Riley, on the other hand, didn't seem to pay much mind to the insinuation about Lucas's attitude. Maya was much too ready to leave the subject when Riley's fist repeatedly hit her arm. "Ow Riley stop! What?"
Riley didn't answer. All she did was point. Both Maya and Farkle let their eyes move to the place their brunette friend was pointing. Farkle did nothing but shake his head and let his attention fall back to his food. Maya, however, finally got to lay eyes on what everybody was talking about. Walking in through the cafeteria door was new boy Lucas. Maya had to admit, he was more attractive than most guys she had ever seen. His green eyes practically lit the room up on their own and she would give almost anything to even lay a hand on his biceps. Her hovering eyes made their way to the grin on his face. Although his smile was pretty perfect, Maya noticed quickly that he had caught on to how much the girls in the room were looking at him. Even girls who were currently sitting with their own boyfriends had their eyes glued to Lucas as he walked across the room. And just as Maya had guessed before, the grin on his face was riddled with cocky arrogance. He knew how attractive he was. Just like that, Maya's attraction to him shrank smaller and smaller. Riley apparently didn't feel the same. When Maya turned to see Riley, the brunette's eyes were still on Lucas, following his every move. She looked as though he was the only boy she had ever laid eyes on and she was utterly entranced. Maya had never seen her like that before. It was slightly concerning.
"I hope he hasn't met anybody yet. Like girl wise," Riley said, her eyes not for a second lifting from the blonde boy.
"He was chatting it up pretty heavy with a couple girls in class this morning," Farkle replied. This was the moment Riley chose to take her eyes off of Lucas. They changed from the wondrous state they were just a moment ago and filled with worry. Farkle was about to speak comforting words to Riley when Maya spoke instead, looking back up at Lucas.
"Was it one of those girls?" Maya asked as she smirked. She was looking at Lucas as he sat down in between two pretty girls. His smile was undeniably charming and he was undeniably handsy. Neither of the girls seemed to mind his wandering hands though, their giggles proved it.
Farkle shook his head in response to Maya's question. "Nope. It wasn't either of those girls," he laughed.
"Well I guess we know what he likes to do in his spare time," Maya smirked. Riley looked up confused at why her friends were giggling.
"What do you mean?" she asked, curious.
"Nothing Riles," Maya answered. Riley's naivety always amused Maya. And Farkle. They chose to keep her naïve to certain things, for her best interest. Maya seriously thought about explaining what she meant to Riley in this instance. Maybe that would keep Riley from fantasizing about this obvious womanizer. But Maya knew Riley would be too nervous to actually approach Lucas and she would eventually just get over him and move on. So she kept her mouth shut and instead shoved a fork full of spaghetti in her mouth.
Luckily she and Farkle seemed to be on the same page and he changed the subject. Even though her eyes stayed on Lucas pretty much the whole time, Riley didn't bring him up again for the rest of lunch. Every girl in the room seemed to want to meet Lucas. Every girl wanted to talk to him, probably more. Every girl except Maya. She couldn't stand the conceited grin that seemed to be a permanent part of his face.
Unfortunately, she had to go through the rest of the day hearing little whispers about him. She would bet he knew he was the talk of the school right now, and she would bet he was loving it. She was hearing about him way too much. And she was most definitely hearing the word 'perfect' too much when it came to how people were describing him.
