AN: Who else noticed that I used the wrong penname at the end of the last chapter of GMOB? It's been too long guys, too long. Anyway, first chapter of Stitches! No schedule for this story, though. The next time I update may even be next month, but I'll try my best. And if you're new, I suggest reading Girl Meets Other Brother to avoid any confusion.
Disclaimer~~ I DO NOT own GMW at ALL!
The summer sun peeked through Riley Mathew's bedroom curtains. Though the temperature says it's still summer, the calender says otherwise. Summer is still in the air, but so is school. High school. Riley, her brother Elliot. Maya, Farkle, and Lucas would be starting the forsay best four years of their lives.
The clock on Riley's bedside table read six-thirty and at that very moment, Riley came out of her closet, striking a pose in her chosen first day of high school outfit. She wore a blue floral skirt, gray widestrap tank top, and strappy sandals. Her hair was in a half-up do with a matching blue bow in the back, and she wore light make-up.
She walked over to her bed and removed the sheets to reveal Maya, who was also surprisingly ready for school. She wore a gray muscle top with a galaxy mickey mouse logo (mickey mouse head silhouette) that she got from her trip to DisneyWorld that summer. She knotted the top on the side to shorten the length. Maya then paired the top with a simple pair of medium wash jeans, black converse, and silver studds on her ears. Her hair was in a messy side braid, and she wore light make up.
"Who's ready for high school?" Riley asked with a big goofy grin on her face.
Maya got of the bed and pulled the cover back onto the bed, "As long as your dad isn't our teacher."
Riley linked arms with her best friend and led them to in front of the room, "Just imagine it. We were once the queens of middle school."
"And now we're the lower class peasants of high school," Maya added.
"But little by little, we'll work our way up, and we'll be the queens of high school," Riley said optimistically.
By now, Riley and Maya's conversation woke up Elliot, who, unlike Riley, is not ready for school.
"Yeah, you will be the queens of high school. In four years," Elliot added.
"Dear, brother," Riley asked in her most regal voice, "Do you have any advice for us since you've been a freshman before?"
"Stay clear of seniors," Elliot replied.
"Is that all the advice you can give us, brother-boing?" Maya asked while rolling her eyes.
Elliot crossed his arms, "I thought we agreed that you'll stop calling me that."
"Yeah, we did before I hated you," Maya answered.
"Well, I hate you more," Elliot retorted.
"Not possible," Maya fired back.
"Think again," Elliot sing-songed as he made his way to the bathroom.
Riley shook her head in disapproval as she crossed her arms looked back at Maya, "I still don't get what happened to you two. At one point, you're the most love-dovey couple at Pre-Prom. Next moment, you hate each other's guts. And I thought that it was all a stage so by the time we go to DisneyWorld, you guys would make up and we can all take a selfie with Olaf."
"Hey, we didn't fight at all down in Florida, and you forced us to take that selfie along with Elsa, Anna, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Belle, Ariel, Snow White, Aurora, Jasmine, Pocahontas-"
"I wanted take a selfie with all my childhood role models. Is that too much to ask for?" Riley interrupted.
"Yes, especially when you made us walk in the rain at Epcot to take a selfie with Mulan, who then cancelled her photo session because of the rain."
"Sometimes, you have take risks, Maya. Now c'mon, I smell waffles," Riley smiled as she and Maya walked to the kitchen.
Elliot came out of the bathroom wearing a black leather jacket, white shirt, blue jeans. and black vans. He walked into the kitchen to also get some was pouring coffee in Cory's cup while Riley and Maya were using up all the maple syrup.
"I have some excellent news," Cory started then looked at Riley and Maya, "Well, maybe not for you two."
Maya knew what was coming, "Please don't say it, Mr. Mathews."
"I have been promoted, and I will once again be your homeroom and history teacher this year," Cory said.
"That's it. It's the end of the world," Maya replied in agony.
"Oh c'mon, Maya. I actually like the way Dad teaches," Elliot said.
Maya glared at him, "Sure you would, brother-boing."
"Okay that's enough you two. Now go or you all will be late," Topanga said.
At Andrew Jackson High School, the students have half an hour before the bell rings to get to class at seven-twenty four. Riley, Elliot, and Maya caught up with Farkle and Lucas and discussed their summer. Elliot left the commons (where students hang-out and eat lunch) two minutes before the bell rang because he had to go to the bathroom. Riley is talking about how realistic Ariel's tail was at Disneyworld until she was interrupted by the bell and the class transition music. Almost everyone is in their classroom by seven-twenty eight. Riley walks into the classroom and Maya almost follows until she gets a text.
Riley notices Maya still by the door frame, "Are you coming?"
Maya looks up from her phone, "Oh yeah, just give me a minute. I'll be back before class starts."
"Okay, but if you're not back by the time the bell rings, I'm going to think that you got trapped by a senior," Riley hollers at Maya as she walks to the nearest water fountains.
Maya reaches the water fountain to the face of someone she dearly cared for with all her heart. She takes his hands to balance herself as she gets on her tip-toes to reach his lips.
"I hate acting like I hate you," the boy said after they pulled away.
"It's not easier for me, Elliot," Maya protested, "But no one must know about us to keep Riley safe."
AN: So... whatcha think? I pretty much described my trip to DisneyWorld during Thankgiving Break. Except, it was Aurora who cancelled her photo session, and my parents refused to walk in the rain. But she didn't cancel because of the rain, and I never made it to Mulan. If you want to hear my whole princess catastrophe at Epcot, just private message me and I will be happy to tell you all about it. Anyway, don't forget to review! Until next time
