Maya was on her fourth cup of coffee by the time that Riley had knocked on her door to come get her for school. Quickly Maya tucked away the sketch book that could end up being the key to finding out who hurt her. The Maya ran to the door when the knocking on the door became more and more intense. When she opened the door Riley was not the person standing at her door.

*Hours earlier*

Lucas and Zay were sitting on the roof of Lucas' building trying to figure out who this mystery girl was. Lucas had not been able to sleep and called his best friend to help him figure this all out as soon as the sun was up.

"Hey man I'm thinking that we should just track each girl down and find out which name goes to which girl." Zay said. They had been going back and forth over which name belonged to the blonde in the picture that Lucas found in the yearbook.

"What am I supposed to say to them? Ask what their name is and if they want to get busy in the back seat of my car?" Luas asked thinking that the blonde who he first met yesterday would not be up to those activities, especially with him.

"Well yeah isn't that what you usually do to girls who you want to "take for a ride"?" Zay asked smirking thinking about the countless girls that Lucas has slept with and then forgot all about within a few days.

Lucas simply smacked his best friend hard in the shoulder. Yes it was true that he was something of a player when it came to his history with girls but not with this blonde beauty. There was something about her eyes that screamed she was lost and Lucas thought that for once he might be able to help her find whatever she was looking for.
"OW!" Zay exclaimed rubbing his shoulder. Now he knew that this girl had to be different from all the others. Lucas never got upset when they talked about the long line of girls that he slept with and then left.

"Zay this girl is different. I don't know how to explain it but she just is okay?" Lucas yelled trying to get his temper under control. His temper was the one flaw in Lucas' seemingly perfect image. Ever since he was little he had issues trying to keep his anger under control.

"Alright Lucas why don't we just try to calm down and then we can think of how we are going to do this." Zay said to his friend knowing that the best thing to do when Lucas was upset was to give him space and if he did start to lash out you better get the hell out of his way.

"The beauty of the internet my friend is to discover which name belongs to which girl." Zay exclaimed as they made their way into Lucas' room and towards his laptop. Quickly they typed in Riley Matthews into the search engine and waited to see what came up.

"Well I think that it is safe to say that Riley and Maya are best friends. Every picture on Riley's social media is of the blonde and the brunette." Lucas said trying to figure out how these two girl could do everything together but he still had no idea who name belonged to the blonde.

Seeing her picture again still caused Lucas to feel his heart stale. Something about this girl was causing him to change who he was and what he usually did when he was interested in a girl.

"Okay why don't we look up Ms. Hart and see if she has a picture by herself." Zay said going back to see if Maya was indeed the girl that has been causing his best friend to become someone he had never seen before.

With one click Lucas came face to face with a girl that had taken over his thoughts since they had ran into each other. So he had discovered that her name was indeed Maya and from the looks of her website she was an artist. He couldn't believe that at 16 she had a website dedicated to her art and that it was actually good.

"Wow Lucas it seems like you have fallen for a girl who has fallen off the social media planet." Zay said to him noticing that Maya had not posted any new artwork for at least 6 months.

*Back to Maya's apartment*

"What the hell are you doing here?" Maya asked when she opened her door and Lucas Friar was standing there. She cursed herself for noticing that he looked just as good as he did when they ran into each other.

"Well Maya it was quite a struggle finding you actually. But I am here to ask you something. I'm having trouble in art history and Ms. Clark told me that you might be able to help." This wasn't a lie exactly. Lucas was doing poorly in art history and Ms. Clark did in fact tell him to get someone to help him….she just didn't mention Maya.

"So you felt the need to come to where I live at 7 in the morning to ask me if I would help you with a class?" Maya thought that Lucas was full of it but she did know that if Ms. Clark sent him then he must really need the help.

"What can I say I like to make a good first impression." Lucas said putting on his signature smirk and waited for Maya to invite him in.

"Well actually the first impression I got of you is when you ran into me then proceeded to call me names. So it is a little late to try to get me under your spell." Maya said trying to close the door but Lucas was quick and stopped her before it was closed all the way.

"Alright I'm sorry about that but I need help with art. Without it I can't play football. So what do you say, will you help me or not?" Lucas knew that he did actually need Maya to help him but another part of him knew that he just wanted to be close to her.

"Ok I'll help you but there are rules. We only work together after school in the art room, you have to promise me you will stop calling me short because I am not, and you have to swear that you won't tell anyone that we are working together. Maya explained to him knowing that if Riley were to find out that Lucas and Maya were going to be working together she would be crushed.

"Fine I think I can manage all of those, so what do you say after school today?" Lucas asked, a part of him thought that it was strange that Maya had so many rules but then again he never met a girl that was quite like Maya.

"Sure now you need to get out of here before people start to notice a huckleberry on the wrong side of town." Maya told him quickly pushing him out of the doorway. It was true that Lucas did not belong on her side of town. He was someone who was well off and seeing him in her rundown apartment didn't seem right.

"I thought we were stopping with the nicknames.?" Lucas questioned but he was cut off by Maya slamming her door closed. For a second her stood there and smirked. It was only a matter of time before he had Maya Hart just where he wanted her.

"Maya are you home?" Riley yelled into the apartment after she lt herself in using the key that Maya gave her a while back.

"Yeah Riles, I just need to finish getting ready then we can head to school ok." Maya yelled back to her friend. Truth be told she had been ready for hours, she just didn't want her friend to know that she wasn't sleeping.

"Alright, do you want to come over for dinner tonight? My mom is making your favourite." Riley asked looking through the content of Maya's fridge. It was almost empty which was nothing new.

"Ummm I can't tonight, Katy and I are going to do a movie night or something." Maya called back. She did tend to call her mother by her first name because it seemed like they were more roommates then mother and daughter. Of course the movie marathon wasn't actually happening but Maya needed an excuse as to why she wasn't coming over to Riley and she sure as hell couldn't tell her that she would be spending the evening with Lucas.
