Hello, people on the internet!

So, honestly, I'm so happy that you guys seem to be enjoying this story so far, despite the confusion.

The guy at the bakery wasn't Charlie Gardener. I actually still don't know if I'll put him into the story or not. Either ways, if I decide on using him, it won't be until a little bit later.

Thank you for everyone who reviewed, I love you.

Enjoy xx


"Hello, Mr. Farkle. Mr. Friar just arrived, he's in his office now." The secretary told Farkle over the phone and Farkle thanked her before hanging up.

"Dad, Uncle Joseph just arrived and Lucas is about to arrive. I'll go down to greet Lucas while you… try and calm my uncle a little bit. Is that okay?" Farkle told his father who was sitting on his desk looking at the news on the internet.

"This time is bigger, actually. He was caught in a really bad situation." Although his words were not hopeful, he had a smirk on his face.

"Yeah, as always. Lucas messes up and we're left to clean up after him to save him." Farkle said with a smile.

"You know, I can't get mad at him." Farkle's father said with a smile on his face now, "I was just like him when I was his age." At that Farkle's smile faltered, "What would he do? He's just like his uncle." Without a word, Farkle nodded and got out of the office to go greet Lucas, and his father didn't seem to notice.

Anyways, after their 'meeting' or whatever you'd like to call it, they both continued on their day. Riley made her way back to the bakery in defeat while Lucas drove to his father's company in frustration. Farkle was making his way out of the company to greet Lucas just as Lucas was pulling up in front of the company. Upon seeing Lucas' window shields, a questioning look took place on Farkle's face.

"Cousin…" He called as Lucas got out of his car, "What… happened?" Lucas went over to him.

Meanwhile with Riley, she'd arrived at the bakery but was too afraid to get in.

"Come on, Riley! You're gonna have to go in no matter how long you stay here… the faster the better anyways…" She encouraged herself before going in. Upon seeing her state, a gasp left Maya's mouth.

"Riley? Girl, what happened to you? What is this state you're in?!" Maya exclaimed as she went to her.

"Don't ask, Maya… I'm done! Our boss will kill me!" Riley said miserably.

*AN; Okay so bear with me a little for the next part and open up your mind, Italic is Lucas and Farkle*

"How did this happen, Lucas?" Farkle asked when Lucas didn't answer him the first time. Lucas looked back at his car before he just blew up.

"It's all because of that crazy bitch!"

"Everything happened because of that stupid jerk!" Riley exclaimed angrily.

"She's crazy! Definitely crazy, dude! She threw herself in front of my car and still had the courage to blame ME! Look what she did! She ruined my car!" Lucas said pointing at his 'ruined' car.

"How so? She did that to your car?" Farkle said trying to hide his amusement.

"What you did was good. Heck, it's almost nothing considering what he caused you! He deserved it!" Maya said after Riley had finished telling her everything that had happened.

"He thinks that everything can be bought with money, just because he's riding a fancy car." Riley told Maya.

"I mean of course, she saw a fancy, modern car so she threw herself in front of it. Her goal was probably to get money." Lucas said and Farkle just looked at him with his eyebrows raised.

"He also tried to give me money for the cake without a shame! As if it's something that can be fixed with money. Of course, since he's so used to buying everything with money. Jerk." Riley explained.

"I tried to give her some money for the cake just so she could shut up, and guess what? Without a shame, she didn't like the money. Thought that it wasn't enough! Such a maniac!"

"In my opinion, I think you got away easily, dude! So…" Farkle said and they both looked at the car.

"Well that could've gone way worse, Riley."

"What could be worse than this, Maya? Our boss will definitely fire me!" Riley said with that miserable look back on her face.

"Don't be pessimistic now-"Maya was cut off by their boss' voice.

"I sent out your cake a while ago, sir… why would I lie, sir?" He said to the phone. Both Riley and Maya looked at him with fear before they gave their back to him.

"You'll hurry out of here, okay? He would probably kill you… Run for your life, Riles!" Maya whispered into Riley's ears. Riley was just about to take off when he called her name. "Shit!" Maya said under her breath.

"Come here, Riley!" He said with a stern tone. Riley gulped and took a breath before turning to him, preparing herself for the worse.

"Send the car to get fixed, I wanted to be done fast, okay?" Lucas said to one of the company's drivers/guards as he handed him the keys.

"Okay, Mr. Lucas." The man said. (AN; Is Mr. Lucas right? Idk someone tell me.). Lucas and Farkle made their way into the company.

"Is my father here?" Lucas asked.

"Yes, he is. He's probably looking at the headlines right now." Farkle said in amusement while Lucas grimaced.

"Only my uncle can calm him down in this situation." Lucas said as they made their way into the elevator.

"Look at that! Is this scandal number what, Minkus? We were also young. I used to work and study at the same time when I was his age. I took full responsibility of our house, you know that." Joseph said as he paced around his office.

"I know that, Brother"

"We got it, he likes to go out, party, drink, act like a player and have fun with girls, But attacking the reporters, for god's sake?" Joseph said before taking a seat across from Minkus at one of the singular sofas in his office. "We have our reputation in the upper, modern, class. We have our respect!"

"You're right, brother."

"If he works hard or studies hard, then okay he can have some fun… but no, all he does is play around and party… but it's time for me to put a stop to this. Look at Farkle, considering that they grew up together, he's also young but he has nothing to do with him"

"Excuse me, Brother… you really did spoil Lucas. Look, it's been a week since college was over and I already made Farkle start working. Tomorrow, he's going to Florida and he'll work till the end of summer at the hotel we recently bought…"

"And my son will be spending his summer in France with his girlfriend." Joseph said sarcastically, "No, no. You're right, I did spoil him- We… We spoiled him" Right when he said that, a knock was heard before the door opened.

"Dad… I think you're talking to Uncle Minkus about something important… I'll come back later…" Lucas was about to close the door when his father got up.

"Lucas!" He said sternly not looking at him, "Come here." Lucas gulped in fear and looked at his uncle who just shrugged indicating that he was on his own. Lucas and Farkle got in, closing the door behind them.

"Sir, I'm really sorry… Like I told you, I don't know how this happened. I was about to be run over by a car and of course in the middle of all of that, the cake flew out of my hands and into-"

"Enough, Riley… There's isn't something bad that I haven't heard from my boss because of you. You can't even succeed in delivering orders!" Their boss said angrily, "Look, Riley, I'm gonna try to do this in the nicest way possible. You're fired! I told you that this was an important delivery! And you weren't just late! You didn't even deliver it at all! So you are fired!" the boss said with a sharp tone and Riley nodded while looking at the ground, trying to hide her tears.

"And I quit." Maya said as a matter of fact.

"Well then goodbye to you too, Maya." He said before leaving. Riley took her bandana off and used it to tie her full-of-cake hair into a high ponytail before she gathered her stuff along with Maya and they left the store together. Riley looked back at the bakery sadly and she was on the verge of tears.

"Well, look at that.." Maya said a little awkwardly, "I was supposed to be the one leaving work today… It's a sign, Riles. Come with me." At that, Riley laughed.

"Where? To Florida?" Riley said sarcastically.

"Yep, we'll work together."

"I don't know… is that possible?"

"Why wouldn't it be? I mean, the Hotel was sold so that's why they're hiring new people. I'll talk to them about you immediately. The salary is really good! We'll earn the salary of a month, in a week approximately. As well as the tips and we don't even have to pay for anything. Our stay and food are for free. It'll be a vacation and work at the same time, how can you pass this opportunity?"

"I still don't know… would my mother agree?"

"We're not going anywhere, girl. It's a fancy hotel. Besides, aren't you in need for money? You got to college but you still don't know how you'll study. We'll work during the summer and earn a lot of money so that we can study peacefully." Another thing about Maya is, she's really convincing when she wants to be. She can convince you that water is actually not clear but colored.

"Well, what you're saying is true… Look, I'll talk to my mother tonight and tell you what she says, okay?"

"Okay… now let's go eat, I'm starving." Maya said and the girls both laughed before the headed to their favorite restaurant.

So back to Lucas…

"When will you ever become a true man, Lucas? Didn't I tell you about fifty times that I don't want to hear anymore news or accidents about you?!" His father retrieved the newspaper which he'd earlier thrown on the coffee table, "You're their main talk, Lucas… Again!"

"What do I have to do with it, dad?" Lucas tried to play the innocent card on him, knowing that it won't work, "Am I not allowed to go and have fun with my friends? You're overreacting as if I did something serious"

"WHAT CAN YOU DO MORE?!" His father yelled as he threw the newspaper down in frustration. "I receive awards and get chosen as Business man of the year, and you? You go hand out with GIRLS and above that, attack reporters." He sat down once more, "But that's enough. You're not allowed to drive your car, you'll give me all of your credit cards, and all your bank accounts will be frozen, until you become a man." At that, shock was written across Farkle's and Lucas' faces. "You and Farkle are going to take care of the hotel we recently bought in Florida. Farkle will be watching you." Farkle nodded at that while biting his lips.

"Dad, are you KIDDING me? I'm going to France next week with Kayli!" Lucas exclaimed in disbelief.

"France? Forget all about France! Even going to Florida is too good for you and you're saying France? If I were you, I'd thank god that I was going to Florida as a punishment. You won't just chill there, you'll work like a man. Is that understood?"

"What do I even I understand about hotel work, dad?" Lucas said trying to change his father's mind.

"You'll learn, son. You'll learn." Joseph said, a smile finally taking place on his face as he left the office.

"Dad!" Lucas called as he went after him.

"Dad… are you the one who pushed the idea into Uncle Joseph's head?" Farkle said happily.

"Shuush!" his father shushed him putting a finger to his lips, "Don't let Lucas hear you." He said and winked at him. Farkle smiled excitedly, biting his lips once more.

After a little while, it was time for Farkle and Lucas to leave the company so they made their way out together.

"I'm over. What am I gonna do, cousin?" Lucas said dramatically, "Everything happened because of you."

"Hey, what do I have to do with this?"

"Why do you have to be such a good man?" Lucas asked with a smirk.

"Oh, don't put that into your mind, Cousin. Florida isn't that bad." Farkle said with a big smile.

"Just so you know, I'll sleep and you'll work."

"Just like we always do." Farkle said with a laugh as he made his way to the driver's seat of his car and got in while Lucas got into the passenger seat. Farkle drove off and they both sat in silence, but it wasn't awkward.

"I couldn't speak to Kayli since this morning, she must be going crazy right now." Lucas said as he dialed her number.

"Good luck."

Kayli was sitting by the pool in her backyard enjoying the sun on her very pale body when her phone rang.

"Finally." She said sarcastically as she saw Lucas' name on the screen. "Yes?" she said.

"Hey, Kay… how are you? What are you doing? I heard that the sun is really shinning today at the UK. You must be enjoying it." Lucas said trying to delay the dreaded subject and failing, miserably.

"What do you think I'm doing, Lucas? I'm waiting for an explanation about what was published today about last night since this morning!" she said angrily.

"Waiting for an explanation… of course that's what you were doing." Farkle sneaked a glance at Lucas then brought his eyes back to the road. "It's really exaggerated, babe. That girl is Farkle's girlfriend, I don't have anything to do with her.

"What the hell are you saying, dude!" Farkle whisper-yelled at Lucas while Lucas just ignored him.

"Farkle's girlfriend? Really?" Kayli said.

"Yeah, Farkle had already left before us so when they saw us walking next to each other they thought that we were together. And when the flashes went off, I got mad. That's what happened… or did you believe that the girl was really with me?" Lucas knew that by putting her into the guilt trip…. She'll forgive him.

"Well… of course I did. You live in LA and I live in Brighton, London. Misunderstandings are bound to happen between us. Anyways, we'll be together next week and we'll enjoy our entire summer in France, the city of Love." Kayli said and he could sense the smile in her voice.

"Umm… well about that… um you see, it's not really that clear anymore." Lucas said hesitantly.

"How so?" at that Kayli sat up in her pool chair.

"My dad made a major problem out of me going to France when he heard the news… He said that I'll work at the Hotel we recently bought in Miami, Florida, this summer. He's trying to teach me a lesson, according to him."

"That means that we're not going to France, Lucas, because your father wants you to WORK at one of your hotels…" Kayli said with a sarcastic laugh, "Do you think that I'll believe this stupid lie? Look you can just say that you don't want to go to France with me, you don't need to lie to me." She hung up not even giving him time to answer.

"Lying? I'm not lying… Kayli-" Lucas took the phone off his ear to find that she'd hung up on him. "You know, I don't really understand women. It's not clear what they'll believe and what they won't believe." They both laughed and Farkle continued driving until they reached their favorite restaurant to have lunch.


The hours passed and Riley finally felt like it was an okay hour to go home without freaking her mother out because of returning home early. Her mum was in the kitchen cooking dinner when she heard the door of their house open.

"Mum! I'm home!" Riley yelled as she made her way into the living room. She was nervous, but she was doing a good job hiding it. It was just a little bit past six, she usually got off work at quarter past nine and arrived home at 9:45.

"Welcome home, honey. Did something happen at work? Why are you home early?" Her mother said worriedly as she made her way towards the living room.

"No… nothing happened, mum." Riley shook her head, "Now tell me, how did your interview go?"

"It went really well. I'll start tomorrow, they'll try my food and if they like it, the job is mine." Topanga said happily and Riley smiled so big.

"I'm so happy for you, mum!" Riley exclaimed as she hugged her. "See, I told you that it'll go well!"

"You did… this interview was so important to me, Riley. I was a huge burden on your back for the past year, baby girl."

"Don't say that, Mum. What burden are you talking about? Above all that, who do we have other than each other?" Riley said with a sad smile and her mum took her into her arms.

"My little girl… Riley, what happened to you, baby? Why did you get off early?"

"Um… I didn't get off early… I was fired."

"What? Why?" Riley told her what had happened with Lucas. "Are you alright, baby girl?"

"How can I be, Mum? I lost my job."

"So? Things like that happen all the time, Riles. You'll find somewhere better." At that, Riley perked up.

"Actually… there IS somewhere better…" she trailed off.

"See? I told you."

"It's a five star hotel… Maya will also work there. They're looking for employees because it just got sold and the conditions are really good as well as the salary. Maya told me that she could talk to them about me." Riley told her mother excitedly.

"What are you waiting for? Let her do it." Topanga said with a smile.

"Wonderful!" Riley said then remembered the rest and pretended to be sad, "Wonderful but…"

"But what, Riles?"

"The hotel isn't in LA, mum…" Topanga's expression began to change to a frown at that.

"Then where?"

"Miami, Florida…" Her mother opened her mouth to refuse but Riley stopped her. "Mum, please. Think about it before you refuse."

"Look Riley, I trust you but I don't trust your surroundings. So No, you can't go. What are you gonna do there? You're just a girl, by yourself, anything bad could happen to you."

"Mum… it isn't just any place mum. It's a five star hotel. We'll work and sleep there. Besides, if I work there for just this season, I'll save up more than enough money for college. What am I gonna do if I stayed here? Besides, is it that easy to find jobs here? Please, mum. Please.." Riley knew that she'd succeeded in making her mother warm up to the idea. "Mummy… Please?" She gave her mother her best irresistible puppy eyes.

"Don't look at me like that…" Topanga said with a smile but the puppy eyes didn't go away, "You know I can't resist you looking at me with your father's big chocolate brown eyes like that."

"Please…"

"Okay, okay. You can go…" Riley jumped into her mother's arms in joy.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I promise you won't regret trusting me and sending me there." Riley promised as she kissed her mother's cheeks. "I'll… go call Maya and tell her, now" with that, she ran up to her room and Topanga just laughed before looking at Cory's picture that was hanged on the wall with the black ribbon on it.

"You would've been really proud of the young lady she's grown to be, Cory. We raised her good, baby. If you were still alive, you're head would've been held so high with pride." Her eyes filled with tears before she smiled, "Dinner is ready, Riles." She shouted from her place to Riley upstairs.

The next morning, Both Riley and Lucas got up early and got ready. When she was finished, Riley took her bright green suitcase with her and went downstairs after struggling with the heavy suitcase.

"Riley, what are you doing? You'll hurt your back baby girl." Topanga said as she rushed towards her with a big lunch box filled with different types of homemade snacks.

"I'm so late, Mum!" Riley exclaimed.

"Here take this in your backpack, in case you get hungry." She handed her the Lunch box.

"Mum, I'll be on a plane, they'll feed me up there."

"Yeah, I know. But this is homemade. I made you all your favorites." Topanga opened Riley's backpack, which was still on her back, herself and shoved the lunch box inside. "Trust me you'll need it because you will get hungry!"

"Okay, Okay. I need to hurry, though." Riley said as she pulled her suitcase to the door hurriedly with her mother's help. She put on her red converse and laced it up.

"Riley, look at me…" Riley looked at her from her position on the floor. "Call me when you arrive at Florida, okay? Don't leave me worrying, baby girl."

"Okay, Mummy." Riley said with a smile before she hugged her mum tightly, trying hard not to cry. After saying goodbye, Riley left after telling her mother that Maya will be waiting for her at the airport.

"Look Mum, You promised me that you'll convince my dad to let me go to France. I'm not staying in Florida for more than two weeks, just so you know. If I have to stay there more than that, I won't come back again to this house, okay?" Lucas said then started walking to the front door backwards as his mother gasped.

"Okay, okay. Just calm down, son. Let your father calm down first then I promise I'll talk to him. You're going with Farkle, right?" Lucas turned his back to her with a sigh.

"No, there wasn't any empty seats on his flight so I was pushed to the flight after it because I bought my ticket last minute."

"Okay… You'll miss your flight that way… you better hurry!" Just as he was about to open the front door, she stopped him. "Wait… I almost forgot." She hurriedly when to the isle that was by the door when her bag was placed and took out her wallet. Lucas smirked at that. "Take these…" She handed him money that'll probably cover him for two months or so, "Take this as well In case you need it." She handed him her credit card. "Don't tell you father, huh." She said and Lucas smiled before hugging her. "Call me when you arrive, okay?"

"Okay, Mum. Goodbye…" Lucas said as he left the house and made his way to the car.


About half an hour later, they both arrived at the airport where Riley was struggling with her suitcase and went flying into Lucas' arms.

I've never seen a pair of brown eyes look this pretty… Lucas thought to himself as he looked into her eyes for these very brief seconds.

Riley jumped out of his arms upon realizing who he is.

"YOU AGAIN?!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

"Watch out! You were about to fall over me and take me down with you!" Lucas said angrily.

"You can be sure that this will never happen again" Riley said angrily as well but with a slight smirk on her face. "I'd rather fall into a blind well than fall on top of you." With that, she adjusted the straps of her backpack before bending down and retrieving the suitcase that had fallen down as Lucas took hold of his own suitcase. They both dragged them to the automatic door and struggled to get in due to bumping into each other.

When they did get into the airport, They looked at each other with disgust.

"Maniac." Lucas said.

"Jerk." Riley said back before they both went opposite ways.

They both made their way to the check in desks but because Lucas had a first class ticket and Riley had Economy one, they weren't anywhere near each other. Riley found Maya standing in one of the lines for the check in desks and cut into line, after taking permission of course, to stand with Maya. When they saw each other they hugged excitedly.

"I still can't believe that you're coming with me." Maya said in excitement.

"Yeah, Me either." Riley said with a big smile. The person in front of them finished checking in so they moved forward and gave their ID and passports to the woman sitting there. She gave Maya her ticket first and wished her a good trip.

"Miss Mathews… unfortunately there's a small problem." The woman said, "Your ticket was sold to someone else."

"What? How so? What are we gonna do now?" Riley questioned.

"We're really sorry for that, Ma'am." The accountant said

"Well, you're saying sorry but what is that gonna do? May I speak to the manager, please?"

"Ms. Mathews, please calm down. There's an empty seat in the first class, we'll put you there." The lady said with a warm smile trying to calm Riley down.

"I can't fly in a different class, at all." Riley exclaimed.

"It's the first class, girl. Shut up." Maya said before looking at the accountant, "She'll take it." The lady looked at Riley and Riley nodded in defeat.

"okay, then." She typed away on her computer.

"My luck is starting to get better, huh?." Riley whispered to Maya.

"Here you go, have a safe flight." She handed her, her ticket, passport and ID.

"Thank you, have a good day." Riley said. She and Maya made their way to their gate and luckily for them the gate was just opening so they went into the plane right away.

"Wait, let's take a selfie!" Maya said as she stopped them in the middle of the plane with her phone up to take a selfie. Riley smiled and Maya took a selfie. They earned a few huffs from the other passengers trying to get to their seats so they decided to do the same. "That's my seat, come on sit down." Maya said as they shoved their backpacks into the little compartments on top of their seats.

"But Maya, that's not my seat…"

"We'll ask whoever's seat this is to take yours instead. I don't think they'll mind, you have a first class ticket after all." With that they sat down.

"I'm so nervous, Maya. I've never been on a plane before."

"Me either… but it'll be fine. We'll make it out alive, hopefully." Maya said calming herself and Riley. Maya's parents died on an airplane when she was about six and her brother at the time was eight. Ever since then, Maya had this fear of planes, she refused to get on one ever since. They had to live with their grandmother until she passed away a few years ago and that's where they're still living.

"Excuse me? This is my seat…" a handsome young man with brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes said. He appeared to be in his early twenties.

"Um, can you please do us a favor?" Riley said as she looked at him with a hopeful smile. He smiled back at her while Maya was just staring.

"Yeah, sure." The guy said.

"No, no. We don't need any favors. She was just going to find her seat." Maya said. What? The guy is hot… I'm sure Riley will understand. She thought to herself.

"What the hell are you doing?" Riley whisper-yelled when the guy turned away to put his luggage away. "Didn't you say that we'll ask him to switch places?"

"Yeah, that was before knowing that he'd be hot." Maya stated.

"Where the first class?" Riley said with a sigh.

"At the front, baby girl. Enjoy." Riley glared at her before getting up and taking her backpack, then heading to the front of the plane. "Sorry we made you wait, I'm Maya by the way." She told the guy after he sat down.

"It's okay, I'm Adam. Nice to meet you." Adam said with a smile.

Just as Riley entered the first class, she bumped into someone because she was looking down at her ticket.

"I'm so-" She started to apologize before she took notice of who it was. "Unbelievable."

"This is way too much. What kind of joke is this?" Lucas said with disbelief.

"As if I'm overjoyed to be on the same plane as you are." Lucas ignored that comment and put his jacket inside the compartment before he looked around the seats as he saw the flight attendants closing the compartments, meaning that the class is complete.

"We're not seated next to each other, are we?" Lucas said and Riley just looked around her. He snatched her ticket from her hand and looked at it. 1B. Wonderful. His seat was 1A. "I won't sit next you." He stated as he took his seated.

"Actually, I'm the one who will never sit next you. I don't even want to be on the same plane as you… so please go find yourself another seat." Riley said and Lucas sighed in annoyance.

"Excuse me? Is there an empty seat on this plane? Can you take this lady to another seat?" Lucas asked one of the flight attendants who just smiled.

"What? Why do I have to have another seat? You change your seat." Riley stated as a matter of fact.

"Will you shut up?" Lucas asked.

"I'm sorry, sir. The plane is about to take off. Will you please take your seat, Miss?"

Lucas sighed in annoyance while Riley sighed in defeat as she threw her bag into the compartment before closing it and sitting down. Lucas looked at her, and now that everything was over, he could read the fear on her face.

"Please fasten your seat belts for takeoff."

They both fastened their seat belts and a few moments later, Riley felt the plane moving. She closed her eyes tightly and chewed on her gum harder as the plane started to takeoff. When it was okay for them to unfasten their seatbelts, they both did and Lucas leaned his chair back to take a nap.

"Um… can we switch seats please?" Riley asked nervously since Lucas had the window seat.

"No." Lucas said simply with his eyes closed.

"I'm feeling curious about the way it looks…"

"No." Riley sat back in frustration and crossed her arms.

"Jerk." She spat.

"So that means that you also work at Miami." Maya said to Adam. They haven't stopped talking since the plane took off.

"Yeah, I'm a bartender at a club."

"Really? What club?"

"The Blue Angel club, here's my card" *AN; I just made that up, lol*

"I'll probably pass by and have a drink."

"I'd like that." They both smiled at each other.

Riley sighed again out of boredom. She decided to take a risk and have a look. She leaned over Lucas' sleeping body slowly until she saw everything from the window. When Lucas felt her long hair tickling his arms and chest, he sat up bumping his head onto the side of her head.

"What the hell are you doing?" Lucas said angrily.

"Hey, don't get mad! I told you to switch seats." Riley said as she sat back in her chair. Lucas threw his head back before sighing in annoyance.

"Okay, okay! But under one condition." He said as he turned in his chair to look at her, "You won't talk to me or touch me in any way or form until we land, deal?" He said with a stern look and Riley nodded multiple times.

"I promise you. Deal." She said as a smile took place on her face. They both went to stand up but ended up bumping into each other... twice.

"Your promise lasted for two freaking seconds!" Lucas exclaimed in a whisper.

"As if I'm crazy about you-"

"Look at you! You're still talking!" Lucas said as he pointed his finger at her. She raised her hands as an apology and stepped back so that he could get out. When he did, she sat in his seat and he sat in hers.

"Thank you!" She said as she looked out of the window with a very big smile on her face. Lucas looked at her as she was leaning over her chair to look at the window and just shook his head then closed his eyes to continue his nap. They've only been on the plane for two hours. They still have four hours till they arrive. (AN; I read that it takes 5 to 6 hours to fly from LA to Florida. Feel free to correct me!)

They finally landed after what seemed like forever and they both took their seatbelts off. Lucas stood up and reached up into their compartment as Riley stood up to do the same and bumped into him on her way. He looked at her in annoyance and she just looked away and reached up into the compartment, tiptoeing a little. She yanked her backpack out as he yanked his leather jacket and carryon bag out. They bumped into each other again as Riley was putting on her backpack and looked at each other.

"I hope we don't meet ever again." Lucas said as he looked at her.

"That's what I hope, too." With that, they went opposite ways.


So, here you go... now you have the whole back story to their meeting at the airport.

And yes, Cory is dead... I didn't want to make him dead but that was the only way for me to do it to achieve what I want with Riley's life and back story.

Anyways, I really hope that you're enjoying this story so far. Don't be a silent reader and leave me a review telling me what you thought of it.

Question; How do you think their relationship will develop (Doesn't necessarily have to be a romantic one)? Will it even develop or will Riley stick to the 'bakery guy' who btw, will be making many appearances?

Also, who do you think should be Maya's brother (doesn't have to be from the GMW characters)? and who do you think will be her 'Summer fling' as she called it?

Also, to clear up everything, Riley and Maya are twenty while Lucas and Farkle are twenty-two.

Love always,

Haneen xx.

I really hope that you're enjoying the story so far.
