Previously...

´´Wow, dude. You really are messed up right now. You got to fix this. For the sake of these two girls and all of us and your love life. You´ll never get a girlfriend like this agan." Zay stated the obvious and Lucas just rolled his eyes at his best friend.

``As if that would be my biggest problem right now.´´ He mumbled, thinking of the two girls that were driving him crazy in two completely different ways.

A few days later at school

``Maya, you cannot ignore him forever." Riley stated as she walked into their first day at school after the winter break. She was wearing a light blue belt dress with grey boots, a white backpack, some make up and her hair was in waves. She was looking at her best friend the whole time, trying to figure out what the blonde was thinking which was on normal days difficult, but right now it was impossible.

Maya on the other hand rolled her eyes at the brunette, asking herself how she could be so happy still. Well, she got the boy. Of course she was. Maya on the other hand had to step back, again. ``I can certainly try." She replied, while fumbling a bit with her clothes nervously at the thought of meeting the Cowboy again.

She was wearing a burgundi red pullover with dark blue ripped jeans, red converse, her black backpack, some make up and her hair was in her usual curls. She tried to look as casual as possible to show Lucas that she did not care what was a complete lie.

Her brunette best friend on the other hand wasn´t happy at all about the answer. ´´He´s our best friend, Maya. You like him and you can´t just ignore him forever." Riley told her, trying to get some sense into the blonde, but Maya didn´t seem convinced at all. She didn´t even want to see Lucas again, why act all nice to him while he hurt her like that.

Maya shrugged at that and then put a fake smile on her face pointing at Riley, ´´Maybe I´ll talk at your guys wedding again to congratulate both of you as the new wedded Cory and Topanga."

Riley groaned at that even louder. Of course she loved the idea of Lucas and her marrying, but she hated to see Maya hurt. Both of them didn´t even know yet who Lucas would choose and Riley wasn´t sure, if she wanted to be with Lucas right now. He had hurt her best friend and Maya was clearly trying to hide it, but-

´´He didn´t even tell us who he chose yet, Maya and I don´t want you to step back again." Riley told her in all honesty and with some sadness in her voice which did make Maya actually look really up to her best friend. For Riley this was really serious and the brunette of course as always did not hide her feelings about this, because she had liked Lucas all along. Maya was just-

´´He chose you from the first day in the subway. He chose you before I even know that I had feelings for him, Riles. He likes you and I want you to be happy. I´ll just wait until these feelings go away as I always do." Maya said.

´´But you two almost kissed two times and I know that you still have feelings for him. Last time you tried to hide your feelings you ended up screaming at him, because of a rodeo, Maya." Riley told her and Maya swallowed, looking at her best friend. She knew that Riley was right. Maya did like Lucas and heck, she still wanted him, but she was mad and she didn´t want to run after a boy who didn´t like her like that. He wanted a boy who fought for her.

´´Well, thanks to you stepping back I had the chance to try it with Lucas, too and it didn´t work out. He chose you and I´ll be fine. I don´t know how yet, but I´ll be fine. I still got you, Riles." Maya replied and Riley looked at her with another sad smile.

She hugged her from the side and told her, ´´You´ll always have me, Maya. I love you no matter what and I want you to be happy, too. This is not just about me and my feelings." They had just arrived at their lockers and seperated to get their books out, since their first class was with Riley´s dad and they had more than a school problem, if they got late again.

Just as they finished Riley´s eyes went wide, looking behind Maya. Maya wanted to ask her what was wrong, but instead just turned around to see Lucas standing there, staring at both of them. Maya swallowed as he suddenly started walking in their direction.

She quickly said, ´´See you in class, Riles." and walked away. Riley looked in disbelief after her , but then had her eyes on Lucas again who now arrived at her.

´´Hey." He awkwardly and slowly said and Riley sighed, taking a deep breath and replied, ´´Hey." She did not want to be mean to him. He was still a great guy and she still liked him, but she didn´t know what to do about the Maya thing. Luckily though she was saved by the bell ringing for their first lesson.

At history class

´´New chances." Mr. Matthews announced the new subject of today´s lesson and Maya groaned out loud. She had a feeling where this was going again and she did not want it to go there at all. She didn´t like it. Not at all. Why was he doing that to her? Well, it was Riley Matthews dad, it was his job to do that, but couldn´t he for once stop with it and leave her alone?

´´Who knows when in history people got new chances?" Cory now asked and Maya sank lower in her seat while feeling Lucas, starring at her back what annoyed her even more. Why did she have to go through this?

Farkle immediately raised his hand and Cory pointed at him. ´´Germany after the second world war, Sir." He said and Cory nodded, smiling at him.

´´That is a great example, Farkle and there are many more, but before we go into the historical part of this I want to ask you this time: What does it mean for you to get a new chance? Do you give second chances? Do you know a second one right now or maybe a third or fourth or tenth one? Even the bible says that we should give them, that we should forgive people, take new chances. What are your experiences on this?" He asked, looking directly at Maya who looked away.

This time Lucas raised his hand and Cory nodded at him. ´´Yes, Mr. Friar?" He asked and Lucas took a deep breath, looking right at Maya while Riley focused on the boy. She had a feeling that she knew where this was going.

´´I think everyone sometimes needs a second chance, Sir. Maybe at relationships, friendships, sometimes also just because you accidentely hurt someone, because you did not know what to do in that moment, because you were confused." Lucas stated and this time Maya turned around and looked in disbelief at him, wanting to kill him in that very moment. Lucas looked at her seriously while Riley and the rest of the class watched the whole scene.

´´Do you have something to say, Maya?" Cory asked her and the blonde looked in disbelief at him. Mr. Matthews knew that something was wrong. That was of course why he chose the subject and he wanted this triangle to stop, before it got worse.

Maya stared at Lucas and then quickly turned back around, looking at Cory and simply saying, ´´No, nothing at all. I am good, Mr. Matthews."

Cory looked at Riley questioning to which his daughter bit her lip and looked at Lucas who looked back at her and then back to Riley. He raised his hand and then stated, ´´I might have something else to say Mr. Matthews.´´ He said and Maya felt his gaze on her again which made her a 100% sure that she did not want to hear whatever he had to say. So she stood up and looked at the dad of her best friend.

´´Can I be excused?" She asked him pleading. She felt like crying and she did not want to cry. Not in front of the whole class and especially not in front of her best friend and the boy she liked. She hated crying in general, but this would be her downfall and she wouldn´t have that, because of Lucas Friar.

Mr. Matthews looked questioning at her and then asked, ´´Are you sure, Maya?" Maya nodded at that without even thinking and the teacher sighed, but nodded. ´´Then go ahead." He added and Maya walked right out of the door, trying to keep her head up as long as she could, but avoiding eye contact with her friends or Riley´s dad.

´´That was some intense staring contest.´´Zay stated which earned him glares from all of his friends. ´´What? I´m right. They just stared at each other and this triangle-"

´´What triangle?" Cory interrupted him and looked at Lucas and Riley who quickly looked away, exclaiming, ´´Nothing!" Riley wanted to stand up and go after Maya, but she knew that that would only confirm her dad´s suspicions and Maya wouldn´t talk to her anyway. So she kept staring at Lucas who was still staring at the door, even minutes after Maya had left.

He did not know what to feel right now and Riley could see that. Was Maya wrong with him, only having feelings for Riley and he was maybe just really confused? How would this affect all of them? To say that Riley was scared while now looking at her dad who looked concerned back at her was an understatement. She had to do something.

At lunch

``There you are Maya!" Riley exclaimed relieved as she saw her best friend at their lockers. Maya hadn´t come back after walking out of Cory´s class and Riley had been really concerned about her and she had clearly seen that Lucas was, too. She just wanted her to come back and them to talk it out, but she knew that the two wouldn´t just do that with her, so she tried to stay calm until she could talk with Maya.

Zay and Farkle who were by her side looked at her while she looked at them and nodded. Zay walked off to find Lucas and Zay stayed with Riley, walking up to Maya. She would talk to Maya, but not alone. This was something that was about all of them.

Maya looked up at her best friend with glassy eyes and with a lot less make up than before what concerned Riley. ´´Hey Riles, Farkle." She greeted them lamely as they came up to her. The brunette hugged Maya simply for a good minute, before saying something and Maya took the hug in, swallowing while Farkle looked behind them, already seeing Zay and Lucas there, Lucas looking really worried.

´´I am sorry, guys." Farkle suddenly blurted out. ´´I feel like it´s all my fault that you are so hurt, Maya and that you are so confused, Riley. I thought that I was doing the right thing and now-"

Maya cut him off and stated, ´´This is not your fault, Maya. Huckleberry should´ve never started something with me, since he clearly has feelings for Riley." She said it clearly hurt what broke Riley´s heart and made her hug her from the side again. She hated it to see her best friend like this and she knew that it was completely Lucas fault right now and kind of hers, too.

´´I am surprised how you know me so much better than I know myself, Maya." Lucas suddenly said, standing behind her. Maya turned around and her eyes went wide. She wanted to run off again, but both Farkle and Riley hold her in place, taking an arm each that she also couldn´t punch the Cowboy in the face, just in case.

The blonde looked mad at Lucas while trying a bad attempt to get rid of Riley and Farkle. ´´What do you want, Huckleberry?" Maya asked him annoyed and Lucas swallowed, but tried to stay calm. He knew that she had all rights to be mad. He almost kissed her two times and he left her hanging there two times. He would be mad at himself in her situation, too but he wanted to talk. The problem was just that he didn´t know how or about what.

´´I don´t know, but I know that I don´t want it to be like this." Lucas replied in all honesty and then looked at Riley what sent a sting right into Maya´s stomach. She felt like throwing up and she just wanted to get away from her. Looking at this handsome boy who she really, really liked and who was staring at her best friend like that.

´´Well, that´s your fault. All of this." Maya said to him what sent a punch right into Lucas stomach this time even though he knew that she was right. He kind of did all of this even though he did not want to.

´´She does have a point." Zay now stated to which Farkle slowly nodded, who had kept his eyes on Riley the whole time, trying to figure out what she was thinking. He didn´t want to make any of them upset with what he did, but he especially for Riley since she deserved better than a triangle. Maya of course, too, but- Farkle shook his head then and Zay looked confused at him.

As the Cowboy didn´t reply to that, Riley looked waiting in between her two best friends who were avoiding each other gazes, but staring at each other from time to time which freaked her out and she knew that she had to do something.

´´Lucas, do you have feelings for Maya?" She asked out of the blue which made both Lucas and Maya look up now and straight into each other´s eyes. Riley meanwhile waited for a reaction while Maya bit her lip, feeling like she knew the answer.
