Lucas' POV
She was wearing a bomber jacket with the green beanie, jeans and the same pair of converses. But she still seemed cold. "Hey… We didn't know you woke up so early…" "Yeah… it's a habit…" I lied to keep them from questioning my actions. "So… What's your favorite sport? "Probably soccer I played a lot in elementary school." "That's cool" I replied soon we came to the school. Mr. Matthews was at his desk when Levi handed him a paper. "This is that essay…. Already?" He was shocked it wasn't due for two weeks. "I was bored." She replied. "Hey Levi… I was wondering if you would like to join us at my mom's café after school?" "Sure." She replied casually. "Ok it's a dat… well not a date…. Ummmm… oh you know what I mean!" Riley mumbled. We laughed. After school had ended Levi was getting her coat on when a good friend of no one passed by. "Hey Evi (like Levi without the L) right?" "It's Levi." Levi corrected uncaringly. "Well, fresh meat… you probably wanna watch out because yor hanging around the wrong crowd." "Back off Missy…" I replied in a deep tone. "I will back off once you become mine…" she replied as she stormed away.
Levi's POV
"Who was that?" I asked Lucas "Don't mess with Missy she will humiliate you or anyone who interferes with her." "Ok," I replied. We entered a small place called Topanga's. "Cool." I said. "Yeah… it's pretty neat." "Hey Huckleberry and Manatee… over here." Maya said. "Huckleberry Manatee?" I asked. "It's your new nickname." Lucas rolled his eyes. "I've had worse names." I chuckled. "Like what…" "Uhhh…. Probably not best I say them…" I lied trying to save my small reputation I had. "Come on…. What was the names…" Maya investigated. "I was a little tougher down in Florida than I am up here… I was called Stone cold Wheaton." "That's quite a pleasant name." Riley joked. I felt a little nervous about if they were gonna ask too many more questions. "Actually I gotta go… I will see you guys at school tomorrow…" I said as I quickly grabbed my things and speedily walked out the door. Thankfully, no one immediately followed me so I took this into advantage and just walked home
Lucas" POV
"Maya!" I exclaimed. "I'm sorry… I didn't know she was gonna walk out…" "Lucas?" Riley asked. "Yeah?" I replied. "What did she mean by a little tougher." "I'm going to do her a favor and not tell you guys for now ok?" "Ok..." I grabbed my jacket and ran after her.
Levi's POV
I walked across Yellenter Street when Zay came up to me. "Lucas… Texted me…" He huffed because he seemed out of breath. "What's going on?" "You can't tell Lucas if I tell you." I said putting trust in Zay. I hoped this was a good idea. "Ok, tell me." I told him about my past and my nicknames and things. He seemed to be understanding. "FYI Lucas would understand this better than anyone…" "Why?" "Why don't you ask him?" Zay replied. I turned around to see Lucas running up the street a couple blocks he caught up he stared at me with blank eyes. "What was that about?" I felt like crying. I had only known these two guys a couple of days and they were more personal than any other kid I ever knew. "Lucas… It's nothing that I want to ruin our friendship but I promise to tell you when I get the courage." "I understand, but Levi?" He placed his hand on my shoulder. "I will always be ready to hear it.
