This story consists of Rucas, Lucaya, Joshaya, Riarkle and maybe Zaya and Faya but this is a RUCAS AND JOSHAYA FANFIC so please review, fav, and follow. thank you

Riley Matthews jumped out of her bed as soon as the alarm clock went off. Today was the day she has been waiting for. The first day of senior year. Although everyone else wasn't looking forward to this day she was. For some reason she liked learning, she liked her teachers, and she liked how every year she had the same classes with her best friend Maya Penelope Hart, and Her boyfriend Farkle Minkus. She loved how every 6th period she had dance class, she loved how the homework was easy. She loved everything about school.

"I hate my life." Maya groaned as she climbed through the bay window.

"Maya! Do you know what today is?" Riley asked.

"Yes I do. The first day of school."

"Aren't you excited?"

"No why would I be excited. Mean teachers, nasty lunch, a lot of homework, and another day watching my best friend and my other best friend flirt with each other."

"I'm sorry Josh let you down." Riley laughed.

"No its not funny Riley. I really had strong feelings for him."

There was something about Josh that Maya couldn't get over. She always thought she liked him because he was hot, and cool, but she knew it had a deeper meaning to it. She liked him since she was 14, and over the years she never even got a chance. He only comes over the Matthews for the holidays, and the last time he came over he brung a girl. Sydney.

Riley shook her head. "It was never gonna happen. You're 17, and He's 20, and He just got in a relationship with Sydney. Do you really think he's gonna dump her to date his nieces best friend who's in high school?" Riley asked.

Riley never understood. Probably because that was her uncle, and she always thought it was weird.

"Well that was kinda harsh Riley."

Since Riley always had Farkle she never really knew what Maya was feeling. Maya was always hurt when Riley told her she had no chance. Fine she didn't need Josh, but she needed someone there to make her happy just like Farkle does for Riley.

"I'm sorry. Let's just get ready. We're gonna be late on the first day!"

"Okay but promise that when we get to school don't be all lovey dovey with Farkle in my face. It makes me feel bad."

"I promise"

Riley and Maya met up with Farkle as soon as they walked on the school grounds. Riley promised Maya she wouldn't flirt with Farkle in front of her.

"Ladies." Farkle said.

"Ugh" Maya groaned.

"Hey Babe." Riley greeted Farkle.

"Wait." Maya stopped.

"What?" They asked.

"I don't wanna walk into this school. It's gonna ruin my whole day." Maya wined.

"Maya you have to go to school."

"Um no we don't. I'd rather watch you and Farkle make out for hours than go to this dump." She said.

"Come on Maya. There's only one more year left."

"But then I have to go to college."

"Am I gonna have to pull you up these stairs? We're gonna miss class. I don't want to miss a single word my dad says."

Maya gave her a strange look.

"What's wrong with you. You poor child"

In Maya's head school was awful. She thought it was a waste of time. Her mom, and Shawn always told her she needed to go to school to get an education, and later in life get a good job, and Maya's response was always how is learning math and drama gonna get us a good job?

"I don't get why you don't like school. Just ignore the fact that we have to do homework. You know I will always help you with that. Think about how we pretty much have every class together, think about dancing."

Riley Matthews, and Maya Hart were on the Cheerleading team. They usually learned hip hop dancing, but there wasn't a program for that. Only cheer, and it turns out their dance moves really helped out the team.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Maya sighed finally walking up the steps. They walked into the school just like they did last year. Nothing was new. They were used to it. They walked to Mr. Matthew's room which of course was Riley's dad.

"Hi Daddy." Riley said hugging her dad.

"How can you do that?" Maya asked disgusted with the two. If her dad worked as her teacher she would just go to a whole different school.

"What you mean say good morning to my dad?" She asked.

"Yeah. You're supposed to act like you have no idea who he is. That's just embarrassing." She said sitting in her seat.

"Good morning folks." Zay greeted them. Oh Yeah Zay. Zay was from Austin Texas. He just transferred here about a year ago. He was their other best friend. He fits perfectly into the group. He was the funny one, the one who was always cracking everyone up. Zay had something special about him. Once he came here a year ago they knew they were gonna be great friends, and now look. They are.

Every year there was the same people in every class. That's how they all had the same classes together. That's just how the school was, but there was something different. There was a new boy this year.

"Who's that?" Riley asked the group.

"Oh my god." Zay whispered to himself.

"What's wrong? Do you know him?"

The mysterious boy had cowboy boots, and a blue plaid shirt. He had dirty blonde hair, and He had his head down. He dressed just like Zay. He must was from Austin Texas too.

"Is he where you're from?" Riley asked.

"Oh my god." He whispered to himself again.

"So are you gonna sit there just saying oh my god? Orr are you gonna talk?" Maya asked.

"That's Lucas Friar. Yes he's from Austin Texas. Just like me."

"Were you really close to him?" Farkle asked.

"The closet. Tighter than me and Farkle are."

"Then what happened. You moved away right?"

"No I moved away after he moved away." He said.

"Okay so why did he move away and why did you move away?"

"Um well I don't know. H-he just moved away, and I moved away because I just wanted to..."

This was kinda strange. So they both just decided to move to the same place? And the gang felt like Zay wasn't telling them something. They wanted to push him into telling them more, but they didn't wanna bother him too much about it.

"Um okay...Are you gonna introduce us to him he's hot. Like really hot…" Maya said.

Once Riley heard that she got all excited. This was her chance to get Maya with a guy she would actually be attracted to, she could get over Josh and stop feeling all hurt inside.

"Yes! Yes! Please introduce us."

There was a huge pause before Zay could say something. The truth was he didn't know where Him and Lucas stood. Before Lucas left Texas they were all good, but when Zay was still in Texas one day Lucas came back to Visit his Grandfather and he was different. He ignored Zay the whole time he was there, In Texas Lucas used to get in a lot of fights, and No one really liked him. He was mean. So Zay stayed away from him because every time he talked to Lucas he would also get hate, so that's probably why Lucas didn't talk to him , and Once he left that was it. He didn't know if he would ever see Lucas Friar again.

"Can you guys just drop it?" Zay pleaded.

Maya Farkle and Riley were completely confused. All they asked if they could meet him. What's the problem with that?

"What did we do?" Riley asked.

"Stay away from him. I don't want you guys to get in this mess." He told them.

"What mess? Zay what are you talking about? Is there something you're not telling us."

"Look I don't wanna give away too much Information, but Me and Lucas aren't cool at all. I ignored him just to be liked and that was wrong, we were best bros I was supposed to stay by his side. But I don't think hes gonna handle it well. I don't think hes gonna ignore it and I definitely know he's not going to want to be friends. Lucas is… He's mean. He fights people, and he says some pretty cruel things, but he's not like this. It's not the Lucas Friar I grew up with and I don't know why he changed but I don't wanna get into it because for all I know he might...He might-"

"He might what Zay?"

"He might try to kick my ass also."

"No way Zay! No ones that mean." Riley said

"A Lot of people are that mean, we just don't let you see any of that stuff because you're just Riley. You can only see Happy things."

"Yeah whatever guys."

The bell rung, and all the students rushed to their seats. They all had their eyes on Lucas as he sat down. He didn't look so happy, he didn't look interested, and he knew that he was gonna have to introduce himself since he was the only new kid in the class.

"Good Morning Students! I'm glad to have another year as your history teacher!" Mr. Matthews greeted everyone.

"Good morning Mr. Matthews." They greeted back.

"It looks like we have a new student. Would you like to introduce yourself?"

In Lucas's mind, he thought he didn't have to do anything. He didn't know these kids and he didn't wanna know these kids, he just wanted to get through a school year and be over. He didn't have to follow the teacher's stupid rules either, but he didn't wanna get in trouble on the first day so he stood up.

"Im Lucas Friar, and I'm from Austin Texas. " He stressed.

"Welcome Lucas Friar! Class how about you introduce yourselves. Let's start with Kimberly."

As they all introduced themselves, the gang waited until it got on them. They really wanted to know what would happen when he realizes his old buddy Zay is in the same class.

"Hey I'm Riley," She cheered,.

"I'm Farkle. Nice to meet you!"

"Sup. I'm Maya."

"Um...and I'm Zay…" He mumbled.

It went kinda silent after that. You could feel the tension between Him and Zay. Zay just sunk in his chair while Lucas looked at Zay with a whole bunch of hate.

"So who's gonna hit first?" Maya wondered.

"I'm trying so hard not to." Lucas growled.

"Wait I was just joking...You guys actually have serious beef?" Maya asked.

"Um what's going on here?" Mr. Matthews questioned.

"I have to leave." Lucas finally broke his gaze.

"What? Why? I'm so confused. What's happening. Where are you going?"

"I can't get in trouble today. I just can't. If I stay in the same room with him I'm gonna want to hurt him. So I'm leaving." He said as he grabbed his bag and left the room.

Riley was stunned. He actually did want to hurt Zay. This happened a while ago she would've least thought he would've left it alone right now. At least ignore it, but he actually wants to hurt Zay.

"This is gonna be a long year…" Farkle said.
