Thank you all for the reviews/follows/favorites! hehe. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story so far. More reviews/follows/favorites mean more chapters so if you have a minute, please take the time. I accept constructive criticism, but please don't be mean. A few readers kindly corrected me on something. I honestly thought Season 2 of GMW was done. Usually TV shows stop after the season has 24 episodes, but some people pointed out the season isn't done yet. My apologies on the error. I corrected my mistake in the summary and in Chapter 1 in the A/N. If you notice anything else, feel free to let me know. Being the 2nd season hasn't ended yet, Chapter 1 will take place after 'Girl Meets Texas: Part 3'. Please let me know what you think. Thanks again and please let me know what you think of the update.
Title: Girl Meets True Love
Summary: I like Maya, but I'm a major Lucas/Riley fan. I wasn't completely happy that the writers went in the direction of Maya/Lucas. If I could write it so Riley/Lucas are endgame, this is how I would do it.
Chapter 2
(Riley thought back to the previous day before class. Farkle was trying to get her to admit to something that she wasn't ready to admit yet. She sighs deeply as she couldn't even admit it to herself, much less to Farkle. She cared about Lucas as a friend. She knew she had some type of feelings for him. She just didn't know how far those feelings ran. Farkle seemed to know pretty well on that. Riley appreciated Farkle's friendship. She was just getting annoyed that he was right. She didn't want him to be right. She trusted him to keep what they discussed to himself. He wouldn't tell...would he? She wanted to believe that he wouldn't)
(Riley continued to sit on the little bench by her window pondering her next move. She wasn't sure what move that was. She didn't want to hurt Maya. Maya was kind in stepping away awhile back so Riley and Lucas could sort out everything. Back then, however, Riley didn't completely know how she felt about everything. So, she decided to do her part and step away so Maya could sort out her feelings for Lucas)
(Maya's intentions were letting Riley and Lucas explore their newfound feelings. Little did Maya know...she didn't realize that she also felt something for Lucas. Like Riley, she didn't know what that was. Needless to say, it was a messed up situation for everyone involved)
(Riley was caught off-guard when Maya climbed through the window and made her appearance. Riley offers a polite smile)
Riley: "Hi."
(After Maya gets comfortable by Riley, she smiles politely as well)
Maya: "Hi."
Riley: "I thought maybe you would be with your mom."
Maya: (nods) "I was. You and I need to talk, though."
Riley: (talks nervously slowly) "O...kay."
Maya: "It's obvious something is wrong. The way you and Farkle acted this morning before class. Besides, you were kind of ignoring me today, as well."
Riley: (weird face) "I wasn't ignoring you, Maya."
Maya: (raises her eyebrows) "Yes, you were, Riles." (sighs sadly) "We used to be able to tell each other everything, good or bad." (shrugs) "What changed?"
(Riley looks at Maya for a few moments before turning away. She looks down with her hands on her thighs. Maya could tell her friend was torn and wished she could help)
Maya: "Riley, I can't help you if you don't let me in."
(Riley did the only thing that she could think of. She gave Maya her cheerful smile and patted her best friend on the thigh)
Riley: "Nothing is wrong. Really. You just caught me on a bad day."
(Maya thought back to the rude classmate who was making fun of Riley a little while ago. She faces Riley with worry)
Maya: "Is it the classmate from before who was teasing you? If it is, we can tell your parents and go to the principal about it. Riley, you don't deserve this. Everyone that matters loves you just the way you are."
Riley: (smiles) "I appreciate that you are there for me...you, Lucas, and Farkle." (chuckles) "My parents, too, of course."
(All of a sudden, there's a knock at Riley's bedroom door before it opens, revealing Cory)
Cory: (smiles to Riley) "Hi, honey. Supper is ready." (to Maya) "Hello."
Maya: (smiles) "Hi, Mr. Matthews." (to Riley) "I'll see you tomorrow."
(Riley nods before Maya exits. As Cory walks to the kitchen, Riley thinks out loud on her bench)
Riley: (sighs deeply) "I'm sorry I can't tell you what's going on, Maya. You deserve to be happy. You let me be happy before. Now, it's my turn to let you be happy."
***The Next Day***
(As class is about to start, Riley is sitting at her desk. Farkle comes in and the two lock eyes. After Riley looks away, Farkle shakes his head and sighs as he walks to his desk. By the lockers, Lucas and Maya meet)
Lucas: "Do you know what is going on with Riley or Farkle?"
Maya: (shakes her head) "I wish I knew. Riley didn't confirm or deny that one classmate is teasing her again when I asked. That was the only thing I could think of on why she looked bothered."
Lucas: (angrily) "They better not be teasing her again."
Maya: (shrugs in defeat) "I don't know what to do. I can't force her to open up. I'm sad because we used to tell each other everything until a few days ago."
Lucas: (nods in determination) "Today after school, I'm going to confront her. I prefer to do it alone, so she doesn't feel cornered. Maybe then she will open up."
Maya: (tilts her head) "Maybe she will with you. She won't with me. Should we try Farkle, too?"
Lucas: "Farkle only made it clear that whatever is going on with her has to do with me." (nods) "We'll see what happens after school."
Chapter 2 Done
Please review/follow/favorite and let me know what you think! I do want to ask you something. Right now, the story is rated 'K/K+'. Would it bother you if I made it a T or do you prefer it a 'K'? The reason I ask is because soon in this story, I will be having kissing scenes (NO sex, though) and some slight language (the word 'damn it' may be used). If you feel the story can still be a 'K' even with that, let me know. If you prefer it be a 'T' because of it, I will understand. I don't want you guys to be uncomfortable at all with it. Please let me know in your reviews if you're okay with that. Thanks for the reviews/follows/favorites! More reviews mean more updates.
