Chapter 1
"Riley! You need to hurry up if you're going to eat breakfast before you get to school!" Topanga yelled up the stairs from the kitchen.
"Life is good isn't it?" Riley said jumping down the stairs with a smile on her face.
"Sit down and eat!" Topanga said pointing at the bowl of oatmeal sitting on the table. Riley continued to grin and sat down at the table.
"Were we ever like this?" Corey asked looking at Topanga.
"She got it from somebody," Topanga said nodding at Riley who was still sitting at the table, oatmeal untouched, with a big smile on her face.
"Riley!" Topanga said hitting her hand on the table.
"Sorry, Mom," Riley said now beginning to eat her oatmeal. The doorbell rang. Riley dropped her spoon and looked up from her bowl with a grin.
"Missy, eat or you'll never grow into your limbs!" Topanga said as she made her way toward the door.
"Good morning, Mrs. Matthews," Lucas' voice said as Topanga opened the door.
"Good morning, Lucas," Topanga responded. He made his way across the living area and sat next to Riley at the dining table. Riley dropped her spoon again, placed her elbow on the table and placed her face in her hand as she and Lucas both stared at each other.
"There's no way we were like this," Corey said to Topanga.
"Okay, she's not going to eat anyways. You two better start heading to school," Topanga said with a sigh.
"Okay," Riley said.
"I'll make sure she eats something this morning, Mrs. Matthews," Lucas said smiling at Topanga and making his way out the door holding Riley's hand.
"Do you think she realized that she left her backpack?" Topanga asked Corey.
"Of course she didn't. She's still in the la la phase of the relationship. I'll take it with me to the school," Corey said with a smile.
Riley and Lucas walked into the school holding hands and found a spot to sit outside of history class.
"Blegh!" Maya exclaimed as she squeezed herself in between Riley and Lucas.
"Hi, Maya," Riley said smiling at her friend and resting her head on Maya's shoulder.
"Riley, I'll see you in class," Lucas said smiling and kissing Riley on the forehead. He then walked over toward Farkle who was getting his books out of his locker.
"So. How's life in fairytale land?" Maya asked.
"Absolutely perfect. I've got my best friend and I'm dating the boy I love, what could possibly go wrong?" she said with a sigh.
The first bell rang and Maya and Riley made their way into class with their arms linked. The girls took their seats and soon after Lucas and Farkle followed soon after. Lucas put a neatly folded up piece of paper on Riley's desk on his way to taking his seat.
"Passing notes now? What is this? The 90's?" Maya said rolling her eyes at Lucas.
Riley opened the note. As her eyes scanned the paper she smiled, looked at Lucas and nodded.
"So what does it say? Is Ranger Rick professing his undying love to you on paper now instead of text message?" Maya said smirking and still looking at Lucas.
"I am not ashamed of sharing my feelings for Riley with her in a text message, on paper, or in person and I don't even care if you read these supposed text messages," he said smirking back at Maya.
"What is going to take to get to you!" Maya exclaimed now turning to face Riley.
"Wanna go to Topanga's after school?" Riley asked her.
"Do we ever go anywhere else?" Maya asked with a smile.
"I guess not. We should really expand our horizons someday...but not today. I'll have to meet you there though because...I have to help my dad with something in his classroom after school for a few minutes..."she said now looking away from Riley.
"So I'm supposed to go wait for you by myself at Topanga's?" Maya asked with her eyebrow raised.
"No! Lucas and Farkle will be there," Riley said smiling.
"You're acting weird and I should probably do something about it but I'm not going to," she whispered to Riley.
The bell rang and Mr. Matthews walked in. Riley immediately got up from her seat and walked quickly over to her father.
"Dad, if anyone asks, I'm helping you with something in your classroom after school," Riley whispered.
"You are? I could really use some help organizing some of those books in the back and..."Corey started.
"No, Dad! I need an alibi for this afternoon. I'm working on a scheme and Maya can't know about it," Riley continued whispering.
"Fine," Corey said with a frown. Riley turned around to take her seat and smiled nervously at Maya who was now staring at her suspiciously.
"Alright class, get your books out. It' time to get started," Corey said standing up speaking to the class.
