Okay so I went ahead and started this new story because I enjoyed the previous one so much. So here's to hoping that both me and you enjoy this one as much as I at least did with the previous one.

"Hey there beautiful." I said as I made my way over to my girlfriend's table.

"Hey." She answered softly. Her eyes shone brightly and she was in a good mood. Whenever she was like tis she would light up the room in a way that would make even Sunshine Riley jealous. Of course, whenever I commented on it she would just tell me that my eyes were playing tricks on me so most of the time I kept those thoughts to myself. It had only been a month since that day under the tree and I knew that I wasn't supposed to be feeling these kinds of things yet. I slid her lunch tray over to her and sat down next to her.

"Why thank you." she said and gave me a soft peck on my cheek. I smiled and turned my attention over to my own lunch although I couldn't help myself from stealing the occasional glance at her. she giggled whenever she caught me in the act, but the smile on her face made it clear that she didn't mind.

"You ever wonder if they get through their lunch?" Maya asked, her gaze focused on the couple sitting across from us, Riley and Farkle sat in their own world and I felt pretty certain that they wouldn't have even noticed if we had an entire conversation about them.

"Well maybe, but not if you continue stealing their lunch." Maya smirked at my comment, but she made no motion to return the stolen food. I had given up long ago on getting her to quit doing her pranks. Only now that we were dating she didn't prank me so it didn't really bother me at all. The bell rang and so ended Maya's most recent prank session. I turned to Maya and gave her a quick kiss before grabbing her hand. We had almost the exact same schedules except that I had finally coaxed her to pick up art class. Although she hadn't been there at the start of the year she still aced the class with her incredible talent. I however was still stuck in biology. That wasn't a problem today though with our last class being advanced English. Maya had surprisingly enough picked up her grades the last month now that she wasn't constantly drawing instead of paying attention so she managed the class quite well. I was having similar experiences myself because now the prospect of spending time with Maya after school had become a kind of reward for doing well in class. Even if all we did was homework I still enjoyed it a lot.

"How is that English assignment coming along Maya?" English class had ended in a flash and we had taken the trip back to Riley and Maya's apartment to finish the assignment. There was never any question as to where we went after school because we always did the exact opposite of Riley and Farkle. Don't get me wrong, Farkle would always be my best friend just like Riley would always be Maya's best friend, but the pair together was a little too intense and though Maya really wanted to I couldn't let her hose them down whenever she saw it fit.

"This is almost scaring me, I'm just about finished with it. Just a month ago I didn't even do my homework. It takes under and hour when you just focus on the subject at hand." Maya smiled, she always felt a sense of achievement whenever she finished an assignment and I loved seeing he like it.

"How is your art project coming along then?" I asked. Now with only two months left until Christmas vacation the class had started their personal projects as Maya called it and knowing Maya, hers was going to be awesome.

"I still won't tell you about it until the project is finished," She refused to tell me anything about what she was making, heck if it hadn't been for the change I'd seen in her this last month I would have thought she's have skipped the entire project. I knew she was working very hard on it because whenever she had art class she ran so that she would get as much time as possible to work on it.

"How long until the dinner is finished?" Maya asked strolling into the kitchen.

"Oh stop being so impatient." I chided. "At least you're getting a home cooked meal instead of takeaway, it does cost half the price." She laughed and walked over to me before wrapping her arms around my waist.

"Don't worry Lucas, I will wait however long I have to. Even if you are the slowest cook in the world." She grinned at me and I smiled back before my mind realized what she'd said.

"You just called me Lucas." She laughed at my comment.

"Yeah, that is your name isn't it? I have been calling you that ever since we got together and you just noticed?"

"But why did you stop with the nicknames?"

"Because even though the nicknames were nice and I had a lot of fun teasing you with them now you're my Lucas, that's better than any nickname I could have ever come up with." I wanted to say those words at that moment. At that moment there was no doubt in my mind that those words were true and yet I knew that if I spoke them when she wasn't ready it might freak her out. I did the best I could to convey the message through a kiss though. She responded immediately and I had no doubt that I could have stayed like that forever except she broke apart way too quickly.

"Lucas! You're burning the food."

Well this is the sequel to Girl meets distracted Lucas although I think you could manage just fine without reading the previous story. This is just meant as a heads up if you feel like reading more of the same style. Review if possible and tell me your thoughts about the story concept and this chapter. Hope you like it, I will continue it soon enough.
