Thank you for all the reviews it really means a lot! I have no idea what to put in this authors note but I always feel like fics with authors notes are more, real? I wanted to say, no I will not have a jealous Riley because I hate seeing those in fics. I hope you enjoy!

It's a new day and when Maya Hart walks in with the brightest smile he's ever seen Lucas Friar can't help but smile and feel joy rush throughout his body. And when Maya smiles all day he smiles too, and when Riley tells him her uncles in town he nods and looks at Maya as she talks to Farkle. And when Riley tells him how annoying it is that Maya has a crush on him his smile drops and he leaves for the bathroom.

When the weekend comes and he's with his friends he tries to smile, and he tries to laugh, but with the lack of the golden haired goddess he can't feel the happiness he feels when the group is complete. And when Riley and Farkle joke about Maya ditching them for her uncle he listens silently, and while he thinks about her he misses the looks Riley and Farkle give each other as though they are the only people in the world.

The day he sees her he sets up so many things just for her to make a joke, and she doesn't make a single one. While he sits on the end of the couch watching her act like a completely different person around someone who isn't him he doesn't know what it is he's feeling. Sadness, anger, jealousy? What is it eating him up?

After coming to New York he thought about things a lot more than he used to. He didnt know why, but over thinking things became a second nature. Especially with the blue eyed devil who sat in front of him. He knew he wasn't the same, he wasn't the boy from Texas anymore. He wasn't as naive, he learned from a lot of things and people while he was here.

Riley's uncle left and Maya went to her paintings, and he'd watch. Lucas friar who was talented at almost everything, including art, always found an excuse to be in the art room when she was there, and when she left her paintings to dry he would look. Sometimes he would smile and sometimes he would frown. And when he saw her next painting he was almost sure it would be of her little crush. He wasn't sure what it was though, for it seemed practically empty. The painting was very small with very little colors and no way to find meaning. It confused him since she showed her emotion through her paintings almost always, it was one of the many things he noticed about her. So he sat and stared at the painting and soon forgot about Joshua matthews and all his problems. He wondered if that was the meaning, something so confusing it made you forget everything. He wondered why she made it, and when he got home he continued to wonder.
