Chapter 1: High School is Different Than Middle School!
Okay, so this is my first Lucaya fanfic ever! I know some of my readers are mad because I have other fanfics to write, but don't worry, I'm back on writing and I'm working on them, so stay tuned on Christeazy. Don't start New Years by writing bad reviews! I only want good ones! R&R for me! (Winky face)
A blonde beauty is soundlessly asleep as she hears her alarm clock beeping very loudly. She pops up quickly and groans with messy yet beautiful hair."Urghh, the first day of high school." Maya says and clicks the snooze on her phone.
She hits the pillow fast and tries to go back to sleep. That is, until her phone starts ringing again. Maya gets up irritated and snatched the phone off her nightstand. She answers the phone and puts on a smile."Hey Riles. Why are you up at 7 in the morning because you know I hate waking up at this time."
"In case you forgot, school starts at eight and this is a new era for us. It's high school. We have to explore our new surroundings, and get those cute lollipop toys I've always wanted! Nobody has ever gotten them for me and it's starting to make me upset!" Riley rambles on about the joys of new things.
"They way you're talking is more creepy than Eva's obsession over pudding and your little brother. Can you please give me five more minutes to finish my date with my bed?"
"I refuse for you to go back to sleep because I will literally go to your house and pull you out. And which dress should I wear, the red one or the blue one with the belt on it?" Riley asked as Maya was beginning to shut her eyes. She finally stood up to go brush her teeth.
"The red one. The way the blue dress looks makes me nauseous on my bad days." Maya goes through her closet and picks some casual clothes. She gets a red sweater to match with Riley, a black leather jacket, black jeggings, and some high heel boots."How are you not beaming with excitement like how I am? Do you have any idea what we can do in high school?!"
"Go to parties, meet cute boys that could be pedophiles or after skanks, see people get drunk at the parties, and you can actually be legal to have sex with a boy in high school, yes I am aware." Maya turns her toothbrush on and puts toothpaste on it."Some guys aren't after things like that. We could find true passionate relationships that mean something." Maya rolls her eyes as if it was never true.
"And please tell me that you'll give one guy a chance this year. You never know when a guy is going to arrive in your life and swoop you off your feet!" Riley says as she puts lip gloss on in the mirror. Maya spits her toothpaste out in disgust."I'm not the type of person who will need a guy to swoop me off my feet. All I need is some food because I'm seriously in the mood for donuts right now. If my mom gets here soon enough." Maya puts the phone on speaker and starts putting her clothes on.
"Like I said Maya. You never know when the time will come. When he comes, I meant." Riley brushes her hair out and stares at her phone, waiting for Maya to respond."Do I hear a little bet Matthews?" Maya answers with a smirk on her face.
"If things become into a bet, I'm sure I would love to have a bet with you Hart. I bet that you will find at least one guy that you will actually start having feelings for, and if I win, I want that lollipop toy!" Riley starts to pout."Enough talking about lollipops and let's get to the fun part of this conversation. I bet that one guy will not like me, and I will not like them. If I win, I want you to get me some new art supplies. I still have my old ones, but the new version is much more exciting."
"Fine, that's a deal. Now, I'm going to-" Riley is cut off by her mother coming into the room.
"Hey sweetie, you ready for the first day of high school?" Topanga asked as she was checking up on Riley and Maya, due to knowing that Maya was on the phone without having Maya speak."I'm completely ready mom." Riley smiles at her mother."Hi Mrs. Matthews! Riley woke me up again!" Maya yells into the phone.
"Oh Riley, stop waking your sister up!" Topanga teases."She needed to. The last time this happened, which was middle school by the way, Maya was on the floor sleeping and we were late to dad's class."
"I would've been fine with it if it happened to me today." Maya said as she started to curl her hair with a curling iron."I know what will make Maya wake up in the morning. I have donuts in the kitchen." Topanga says into the phone."I'll be at your house shortly." Maya unplugs her curling iron and grabs her backpack. She starts heading over to Riley's house and comes the through the door.
"What's up fam!" Maya runs over to the table and gets a donut out of the box."Mom, please make sure you bring the donuts everyday." Riley turns to her mom."I will always make sure."
Topanga says as she sits at the table with them."Are you ready for high school Maya?" Topanga asked. Maya gulps down her bite of the chocolate frosted donut and responds.
"I really don't know how I feel about it, considering the fact that this girl named Riley Matthews refuses to stop talking about the journey of four years and meeting the perfect one." Maya eats another bite of her donut."It's just because your so sarcastic about almost everything. We all know there is one thing you look forward to in high school." Topanga explains."Yeah, being able to spend time with my best friend in the whole wide world and draw in the art room if I have bad days and I want to express my feelings."
Maya puts her chin on Riley's shoulder and finishes her donut as Riley is still eating hers."Well mom, that's the best we can get out of her right now." Riley starts feeling her best friends's soft face."Well you have some soft skin today. Used that stuff I gave you just in case a boy tries to kiss you or something?" Riley still pushes Maya's buttons and Maya gets her backpack.
"Okay, I'm done talking about this. My sister has officially gone crazy." Maya puts her whole hand on Riley's face."You two are going to be late. I'll drive you. Your father is probably still in bed having nightmares about you too Going to high school." Topanga grabs her keys as Riley and Maya follow her."Bye Auggie!" All three of them say in unison.
Topanga drops them off, and as they're getting out of the car, Topanga stops them before they close the door."You two, I want you to enjoy what you have, and be thankful for it." Topanga smiles at them as Riley and Maya do the same. She kisses both of them on the forehead and they walk towards the school.
"Whoa?! An outside hang out outside the school. I could get use to this place!" Maya looks around as she sees all of the clicks already together."Oh no! Here comes the stupid clicks!" Maya rolls her eyes as she's locking her arm with Riley."Maya, it's okay. Just don't go to the goth click. The stuff they do is always inferior." Riley glares at them as they all huddle around each other.
"I already found a spot. We're going to sit under that tree for now on. Plus I really need to sit, I should've wore my black flat boots instead of these." Maya and Riley walk faster to sit under the tree."I'm already extremely nervous and we haven't talked to one person!" Riley looks around."Okay, Riles, calm down. Plus, we're just freshmen so please don't consider going to a party where there is alcohol." Maya begs Riley.
"Loosen up Maya! I thought you liked having fun." Riley shakes her shoulders."You know that I would love to go to that party and experience not being sober for once, I'm only telling you that because I know you want me to go just so you can see if I fall in love with a guy there." Maya puts a beaming smile on her face.
Two guys come walking down, talking about something that Maya and Riley of course don't know about. The two of them look over in Maya and Riley's direction and head towards them."Wow, that one guys is really cute." Riley whispers to Maya and she puts her hear on to the shoulders. Maya doesn't respond, she just smiles at him.
"Why are you sitting under our tree." One girl and her entourage come up throwing a fit.
"Okay, before I back talk at you, who the hell are you?" Maya asked."Madelyn, I can't believe you haven't heard of me." Madelyn whips her brunette locks out of her way and places her hands on her hips."Well, listen up Madelyn, nobody is going to tell me where to sit, especially on the first day, so why don't you take you and your plastics somewhere else before this isn't a good day for either one of us." Maya gets closer to Madelyn's face.
"You'll be crying with a black eye and I'll have to clean your blood of my hand. Either that, or you can go away and we can forget that this all happened." Maya smiles."I suggest that you go with the second option." Riley stands up and shakes her head."I guess this year will be very interesting." Madelyn glares at Maya and Riley.
"Laila, Callie, Farah, let's go!" Madelyn leads the pack and walks away."Oh, hi Lucas! I wanted to tell you about your rodeo performance in the summer. You did ridiculously well." Madelyn smiles at him with charm."Thanks Madelyn."
"So I'll see you at the party Lucas?" Madelyn says in a flirty tone."Yeah, I'll see you there." Lucas says awkwardly, and Madelyn with her entourage walks away. Lucas and his friend walk up to Maya and Riley."Finally Lucas, we get to see some people we've never seen before. All of the others losers we have seen, except they wanted a new look this year to change into a more innocent person. By the way, my name is Farkle."
Farkle introduces himself with a sarcastic tone to his voice."I'm Lucas, if you didn't hear earlier." Riley and Maya just stare at Lucas."Oh, my name is Riley." Riley smiles nervously and starts acting like her usual bubbly self."Maya. Oh, and I also heard over there that you seem to be a country boy." Maya uses a country accent."Yeah, titled of beating the world record on the best bucking bull in the world." Lucas says.
"Yeah, that's very impressive." Maya says sarcastically."Sorry about her, she tends to get a bit of sarcasm when she's in her teasing times." Riley explains."I like you two. How about you come to the party Friday night. Trust me, it's a lot of fun." Farkle suggested. Maya looks at Riley and vigorously shakes her head no. Riley gets up and grabs Maya's hand to get up too."We would love to." Riley and Lucas smile at each other as Maya looks at the two of them.
"Great. We'll see you two around." Lucas says as him and Farkle walk off."Sure enough huckleberry!" Maya yells as they're walking away. Lucas turns around and smiles."He's really cute." Riley says again, looking at Lucas and Farkle."Come on, we gotta go talk about something." Maya takes Riley's hand and drags her over to the door."Riley, I'm gonna need to win this bet, so I'm going to a dumpster to mess with some hobos." Maya tells her.
"No, you're going to this party with me. I'm not going to be alone with alcohol and a whole bunch of other things I cannot say." Riley says frightened."Oh your such a goody goody. You know what, we're gonna go so you can exceed your comfort zone." Maya puts her arm around Riley.
"You aren't going to make me-" Riley stops talking and looks over at Maya terrified."I mean, if you want to you can. You never know what can happen in high school." Maya says with her eyebrows going up and down."I wish I could take what I said back."
"Wellllll, you can't." Maya smiles and they walk into the school. They see a whole bunch of posters that are being put up all around the hallways."What the hell is going on?" Maya looks around, curious about the setting while Riley goes up to one guy and asks."Um, hi, do you have any idea what's going on right now?" Riley asked as Maya looks at her like she's nuts.
"This is for our first day of school debate. We have it every year just to get to know people's personalities." The guy describes the situation."Well it's not even nine o clock and I already heard something stupid." Maya walks up by Riley's side."What's your name?" Riley asked.
"Winston." He says with a smile."Hi Winston. I'm Riley and this is my best friend Maya." Maya waves at him."Nice to you meet you guys. Hope I get to hear your opinions. Woo!" Winston says and prances off."Right when I looked at him I knew he was gay!" Maya whisper shouts."Maya, don't judge a book by its cover." Riley walks up to the poster and reads it.
"Oh please, if he's a book he's like those types of books that when you look at the cover, you already know what it's going to be about. Prancing down the hall and saying woo like a girly girl would is natural."
"Hey, I like prancing and saying woo." Riley defends him."Oh, of course you do, and what is this stupid debate about?" Maya yanks the poster off the wall and reads it."Maya, Winston just taped it that on the wall."
"Like I care what's on the wall and what needs to be taped on it." Maya keeps reading the poster and looks at it like its stupid already."I'm skipping this. It's a debate on diversity, and I'm pretty sure Winston is going to defend himself and say, oh, gays and lesbians should be excepted because it doesn't feel good when people reject you from appearance. It makes people feel bad about themselves." Maya says in a baby voice.
"Some people actually have problems with that." Riley says with her hands crossed."Oh no, you still do the crossed hands thing?" Maya looks at her hands with disgust."It'll always be my thing." She puts her hands in Maya's face."It's okay Maya. It's not as worse as the ketchup and Mac and cheese." Maya stares at her hands and tries to fight it.
"Come on, there's more to see!" Riley and Maya lock their arms again and walk around the school to their first class, which was gym."Urgh, I hope there isn't that stupid equipment in this class like it was in middle school!"
"Just give it a chance Maya. Enjoy what you have and be thankful for it." Riley tells her. You can't argue with Topanga's words...
