A/N: This story was originally posted on both Tumblr and WattPad, I started writing it before I became obsessed with writing The Cinderella Promise. This is still a work in progress, but it will be completely finished by the end of the month. I just never thought to post it here, because I originally used this account to read fics. This fic is a mixture of the manga Kare First Love, my love of boarding school YA books, and Girl Meets World, I hope you like this story as much as The Cinderella Promise.

Chapter 1 – First Meetings

The bus from the dorm was packed with people on their way to school or work. The dorms were several bus stops away from the school normally she would take the shuttle bus but that morning she had missed the bus. She had run towards the bus but the driver hadn't seen her and kept going, she felt invincible each time it had happened but instead of moping around she walked towards the city bus stop and waited there. She had decided on going to an all-girls high school because she wanted to focus on her studies but she also felt awkward around other people. She felt that going to a school with just girls would take some of the pressure off but she still felt weird around other people.

As the bus moved down the road Riley grabbed onto a handle and pulled out her favorite book, it was a mixture of a travel narrative and beautiful photographs. The book was by one of her favorite authors, he made traveling the world seem like an adventure written in beautiful words, it also encompassed her favorite hobbies writing and photography. Both were things that she didn't need friends to accomplish because the stories she wrote were made of friends she created and not those treated her as though she were expendable. When she took pictures she was able to capture the small things in life that made her own life beautiful.

The bus jerked and Riley's glasses began to slip down her face, "Hey check out four eyes," someone said from behind.

Riley hated taking the city bus because some of the students from the nearby all-boys school took it as well and they would often make fun of Riley because of how she looked. Or they would make loud comments that would just make her uncomfortable. As the bus moved along their comments about her started to annoy her.

"Dude, she goes to that all-girls school right, why is her skirt so long?" the same voice said.

"Zay stop making comments about someone you don't know," someone said.

"I'm not the one eyeing the girl, geez your taste in girls has gone down man. She's definitely not your type."

Riley tried her best not to get angry by the comments or turn around and throw her book at them. Instead she turned up the volume on her headphones and continued reading her book. She was listening to her before school playlist which was filled with a mixture of music mostly rock because she was preparing herself for the long eight hours at school listening to everyone's trivial lives. As the bus reached her stop it jerked her away from the handle and she landed in the strong arms of a boy. When she looked up she saw his forest green eyes looking down at her, his arms were wrapped around her body holding her in place.

"I got you," he said to her but she jumped out of his arms dropping her book. Instead of talking she pushed her way towards the back doors. "Hey you dropped your book," he said as he lifted it off the ground catching her skirt in the process and pulling it up revealing her cuddle bunnies' underwear.

She felt her cheeks redden as she screamed and ran out of the bus. 'Why does this always happen to me?' she thought to herself as she ran down the block towards the school. Some of the local students were making their way towards the building smiling happily but Riley just wanted to drown herself in the school fountain. When she got to her classroom the embarrassment began to die down. She would never see these boys again why should it bother her.

"Oh hey Riley," Missy said as Riley sat down at her desk. "I need to copy your homework, and your notes because I didn't finish it yesterday."

'You're such a liar Missy you never do any of your homework you just copy everything from me and the fact that the teach hasn't noticed drives me nuts,' Riley thought to herself but instead of telling her that Riley just smiled and nodded at Missy.

"Hey Riley, I heard you missed the bus this morning and ended up on the bus with a bunch of guys from that nearby all-boys school," Darby said from her desk. "I heard that they were giving you a hard time."

Riley wanted to scream because she had hoped that no one would have seen what had happened.

"I heard about a girl screaming on the bus because someone pulled up her skirt," Sarah said bring up the most embarrassing part of her day and it wasn't nine yet."

"I heard that the boys from that school are hot, maybe we can set up a get together so we can get to know them better," Missy said looking at Riley. "Do you think you can set that up?"

"No thank you, I have a lot of studying to do," Riley tried to say but Missy was already moving around the room asking which girls would be interested. She stopped in from of Maya Hart's desk and smiled.

"Hey Maya you want to come with us?" Missy said looking down at Maya who was busy drawing something on a sketch book. "Hello Maya you heard me?" Missy tugged on Maya's hair but the girl didn't seem phased by it.

"I don't want to I already have a life and a boyfriend," Maya said as she got up and walked away from her desk. When Maya was gone Missy huffed and walked towards her own desk.

"Why is she like that, god she is so stuck up."

"I heard that she's trying to get into some big name art program," Sarah said.

Riley tuned them out as they talked about Maya and the boys from the nearby school. She heard Missy reminding her that she wanted the notes as she walked out of the room.

"Stupid Missy, why can't she just leave me alone," Riley said as she walked around the corner. "Why is she like this anyway we were never freaking friends. This is why I don't like talking to people."

"If you feel that way why don't you tell her," Maya said startling Riley.

"I didn't see you there," Riley said.

"Don't worry I won't tell, but Riley you have to learn to stand up for yourself. Don't let her push you around."

Riley stayed quiet as Maya walked back to their classroom, Riley walked back a minute later hoping that the excitement died down. As her classes went by everyone changed to new subjects and slowly stopped talking about the embarrassment that she had faced earlier that day. By the end of the day she was just happy that school was over and that she would get the chance to finish her favorite book. When she looked in her bag to pull it out for the walk home she realized that the book was missing. That was when she realized that she had dropped it on the bus after that guy had grabbed onto her. All of her favorite parts were highlighted and tabbed so that she could go back and read them whenever she could. It felt as though a part of her was missing.

As she reached the school gates a bunch of girls were squealing and talking about some hot guys they had seen at the front. Some of the girls thought that a couple of girls were being picked up by their boyfriends. Riley didn't care about that, she wanted her book and it was missing. She didn't even notice the guys everyone was talking about until one of them spoke.

"I went through all the trouble of coming here and you're ignoring me?" he said. Riley recognized the voice. "You dropped your book earlier," he said.

She looked up at him shocked, "Um…" was all she could say before Missy jumped in.

"Don't mind her, she's usually really quiet, Hi I'm Missy, I'm Riley's hot friend and what is your name?"

"Lucas… Lucas Friar," he said his voice made Riley feel like something warm was rising through her body.

"Well Lucas would you like to hang out with us today?" Missy said pulling him away from Riley.

"Sure, as long as I get the chance to talk to Riley," he said. Missy looked at her pissed because one of the hottest guys in the group had wanted to talk to Riley.

"Sure she'll be there," Missy said before breaking away and grabbing Riley, "You're going he's cute and I want him so you're going."

Riley didn't know what to do, she wanted her book back but if she didn't go she knew that Missy would make her life a living hell. "Sure," she said in a quiet voice.

"Great let's go," Missy said grabbing Lucas by the arm and pulling him away. His friends trailed behind and Riley was the last one to move forward. The group ended up at a nearby karaoke place that had isolated rooms for groups. Missy's uncle ran the place so she had them bring by alcohol to the teenagers even though they were all dressed in their school clothes.

"So do you guys want to introduce yourselves?" Missy said to the guys.

One of the guys got up and danced their way towards Missy "Hi, my name is Zay, I'm single and you're hot," he said. Riley recognized the voice automatically as the one that had made the comments about her while she was on the bus.

"Anyway, next," Missy said.

One of the guys looked up from his computer and said, "I'm Farkle, and I was dragged here today even though I need to finish my project."

"Right," Missy said once they were all introduced to each other. "Give me a sec," she said before leaving the room.

"Listen man," Zay said to Lucas. "I want to be with Missy so can you step back and let me have her. I know every girl will throw themselves at you but let me have this one please, she's hot and totally my type."

"That's okay with me, I don't really care," Lucas said looking at Riley.

Missy walked back into the room with a bottle of something brown and didn't look like soda, Riley was worried about what Missy was up to.

"Let's make this interesting," she said dropping some hard alcohol into the beer they were given when they arrived. Missy sat down next to Riley and whispered in her ear, "Listen I want Lucas so make me look good, and leave him alone."

Riley nodded because all she wanted to do was go home and read her book. Instead she picked up her drink and started chugging it not realizing that she hadn't picked up her orange juice because she had just wanted to do something that wasn't listening to Missy.

"Hey look at the dork, she's really drinking that fast," Zay said when Riley looked up she realized that it wasn't her normal drink.

"Oh my god, her face is all flushed," Missy said. The two of them started making fun of Riley together, laughing about how she looked. Instead of sitting there and listening Riley got up and walked out of the room. She ran to the nearby bathroom and splashed water on her face. The alcohol was already making everything fuzzy.

"Are you okay?" Lucas said as he walked into the girls' bathroom.

"Yeah I'm fine," Riley said as the room began to spin.

"Come on I'm taking you home," he said. Riley hadn't realized that he had their bags in his hand because the room all of a sudden dropped out from her.

Riley woke up the next day confused over where she was, it didn't look like her bedroom the walls were white instead of purple, there weren't any pictures on the walls. The room felt empty.

"You're finally awake," she heard Lucas say. Riley's first reaction was to try and scream but instead his lips were on hers stopping anything from coming out. Riley felt that warm feeling spread throughout her body again and butterflies began to form in her stomach.

"You're really beautiful without your glasses," he said when he pulled away.

Riley felt her face redden and pulled herself as far away from him as she possibly could, she saw her backpack on the floor and immediately went to grab it and runaway instead she stopped when she realized that she wasn't wearing her own clothes instead she was in shorts and a t-shirt.

"I had to wash your clothes last night, I didn't see anything so don't worry about that, it was better than leaving you in them since you… um threw up on them."

"Oh god," she said wanting to crawl under the sheets. Her lips could still feel his but she wanted to forget everything, it was her first kiss and it shouldn't have happened that way. Nothing was going right for her.

"Come on, you can shower and change so I can take you to school."

"Crap," she said scrambling away from the bed and into the bathroom. When she closed the door she thought about Lucas and her stolen first kiss.
