New story! This AU came to me, from nothing. I'm practically always thinking of Lucaya AU's and this one was my fav and I really wanted to write it.

Disclaimer: I don't own GMW but neither do you.


Lucas was the new kid at Quincy Adams High. He quickly joined the group of jocks but also got straight A's. He knew people judged him for his appearance, he tried to prove them wrong but failed and gave up. He knew Riley Matthews because she was a cheerleader who his best friend, Zay, dated and because she was his history teachers dad. She had a best friend named Maya who he knew but didn't know. He knew her name, birthday, and her reputation of being a rebel.

"Hey, baby!" Lucas' girlfriend, Shelia, called. She was one of Riley's cheerleader friends who Zay set him up with. She was pretty hot but also kinda pushy and annoying. (Lucas didn't mind since they had pretty good sex.)

"Hey, babe," Lucas kissed her in front of his locker.

"You get you're acceptance letter yet?" Shelia asked.

"No, not yet. I hope I do though. Cornell has some really good vet classes," Lucas explained.

"Why do you want to be a vet so much? Why not a model?" Shelia pushed.

"I told you, Shelia, I want to use my mind, not body," Lucas held Shelia's hand.

"Whatever you want, Lukey," Shelia chirped.

Lucas rolled his eyes at the stupid, supposedly cute, nickname Shelia gave him, as they walked to class.


Maya only knew of the new guy because all the girls wouldn't shut up about him.

"He's so hot."

"God, he can't be a student here and not be 21."

"Uh oh Missy's gonna have herself a new boytoy."

"He needs to have my babies right now."

She rolled her eyes as the girl ogled him like a piece of meat. Of course she knew he was smoking hot, but she has class and knew he was just a one track mind jock who only cares about their six pack and screwing girls. AKA not her type.

She got to know him a little more only because he was friends with Riley. She realized he cared about being polite and good grades, but he still wasn't her type only because he turned into a Mr. Perfect cowboy from the south. AKA everything she hated.

"Did you get in to Cornell yet?" Riley asked Maya as they got their books.

"Not yet, but I hope I get in," Maya replied.

"I hope you get in too. Their art programs are amazing," Riley supported Maya.

"Thanks, Riles. And Julliard doesn't know what they're missing if they don't accept you."

"Thanks Maya. But Stanford sounds really good too."

"I will support you know matter what."


Senior prom came up with Lucas going with Shelia, Riley going with Zay, and Maya went with someone in her art class. Everyone had fun and some lost their virginity that night (Riley.)

And then came acceptance letters. Riley got into Julliard, Zay got into USC, and Lucas got into Cornell and so did Maya.

Everyone had to part with their best friends going to different schools. Riley and Maya spent almost everyday together, not wasting anytime. Until the dreaded day came of final goodbyes.

"I'm gonna miss you so much!" Riley cried.

"Me too, pumpkin!" Maya teared up.

"How will we live?!" Riley bawled.

"I don't know!" Maya sniffled.

"I love you, Maya."

"I love you too, Riley."

They held up their friendship rings from six years ago and drove off in their cabs.


"I'm gonna miss you so much, man," Lucas teared up.

"I know, me too," Zay sniffled.

"Good luck at USC."

"Don't have too much fun at Cornell."

"Don't worry about me."

They hugged for the last time and climbed into their cabs.

Lucas thought of how many good times they had together in the past year. His breakup with Shelia was not a pretty one. She screamed at how she was loyal to him the entire time and never once gave up on them. How she could've hooked up with someone else on prom night but remained loyal. He tried to explain because of how the relationship wouldn't work out, but she screamed like a child.


Maya opened the door to her new dorm. It was plain since nothing was in it yet and her roommate hadn't come yet. She dropped off her bags in the living room and went to explore the school's art rooms.

Lucas opened the door to his new dorm. He noticed the bags in the living room and went to go buy some food instead of waiting for his roommate to arrive so he could go over some rules based off of whether he was a guy or girl.


I know this chapter is pretty short but the next one will be longer and things will heat up. Please stay tuned.
