A/N: Welcome! This is my first ever multi chapter Fanfic, so please bear with me! This will be heavy Lucaya with a hint of Riley and someone else (who is it? TBH, I haven't decided.)
Disclaimer: I do not own GMW, the characters, or the settings. (If I did it would be terrible)
Lucas walked into the doors of John Quincy Adams High School for the first time in a year. It looks exactly the same, he thought. Same yellow and red lockers, same logo on the floor. Well, not exactly the same. The school had been converted to a high school last year, so wherever it said "Middle School" now said "High School". Lucas was ecstatic to be back in New York after being in Texas for a year. His moved back to Texas to take care of his dying Pappy Joe, and once Joe had died, it was time for Lucas' sophomore year.
"Welcome to JQA! You must be new, I'm-" a familiar voice said as Lucas turned around.
"You're Riley Matthews," he said, finishing her sentence.
"Lucas! You're back!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around her friend's neck. "We missed you so much!"
"I missed you too," he said. "Riley, I need air."
"Oh my gosh, sorry!" she said. "Farkle's in the cafeteria, if he knew you were here, he'd cry."
"Oh I bet he would." Lucas said. "How's Maya?" He, surprisingly, had been missing Maya. It was weird not hearing ha-hurr and being called Huckleberry and Ranger Rick every day.
"Oh she's good. She's at practice, so she won't be in class 'til second period." Practice? He thought. Since when does Maya play a sport?
"Riles!" he heard. He turned around, and in that moment, everything around him slowed down. The small figure with bouncy blonde curls that he had always known as a short stack of pancakes was a cheerleader. Maya Hart was not just a cheerleader, she was a smoking hot cheerleader. The uniform fit her body in all the right ways. Her sun kissed legs (Maya? Tan?) complimented the red hues of the skirt above them. Why was Lucas just now noticing the beauty in this girl?
