Riley's pov:

It's been a month, since my first date with Jace and break up from Maya. And, it has been the hardest time of my life. Yet it's been blissful.

Jace has been sweetest guy, ever. Not boyfriend and I'm curious why, he hasn't asked me out yet. And, it is really hard to wonder why, without a best friend for commentary.

School was okay when Jace was around because we would sit together at lunch and we would talk whenever we could. But, as the weeks passed, Jace joined the football team, baseball team ,and track. Leaving me alone most of the time because he was always practicing.

I was impeccably lonely, at home and school. Of course, Jace knowing how lonely I was tried to make up for not spending much time with me at school, by spending time with me after school.

So life was bad, but not that bad.

The hardest part was that neither Farkle, Smackle, Zay,or Lucas talked to me either. They promised that it wouldn't get in the way, but it did.

So, here I Riley Matthews stood in the mirror getting ready for a date with Jace. Tonight's date was a surprise and I was going crazy.

Jace said it was a special date, and he was going to introduce me to his new friends.

As I was adding the finishing touch to my outfit, I looked at myself in the mirror.I wore a burgundy crop top, with cropped shorts. I had a black choker necklace. My hair in a bouncy ponytail, trying to dress as simple as possible. I would usually wear something more out there, but Jace said to dress really simple.

I walked into the living room to see Jace with my dad watching the baseball game. He then sees me and gives me the brightest smile in the world. "Riley you look amazing, like always", he says.

"You don't look to bad yourself", I reply blushing.

He then grabs my hand and walks me out the house saying goodbye to my parents; promising to have me back home before my curfew.

As we arrived, I realized we were at an amusement park. Me being me, freaked out; because I loved amusement parks. It was kind of me and Maya's thing. But, of course I didn't tell Jace that, what a mood killer.

Jace opened my door and we walked to the Cyclone Café. There I see four beautiful girls, that I knew I could never hold a candle to, and three guys who handsomeness made me super uncomfortable. We then reached the large group of people. Jace then speak to them, "Hey guys this is Riley, and Riley these are my friends."

Looking at them, I was ready for them not to accept me, but they did the complete opposite. The brunette with medium length hair and brown doe eyes that rivaled mine, hugged me and said, "Hi, I'm Kalani."

She wore a simple gun and roses shirt , with cropped shorts; and had on a black choker like mine. Even though her clothes were simple she was still beautiful. And, it made me jealous that Jace was hanging out with girls like her, maybe that's why he asked me out yet, I thought.

After her hug, another girl named Maddie hugged me. She was also a brunette, except her hair was lighter than Kalani's, or mine. Her eyes gleamed with happiness and they were big and blue. She then said, "You are so pretty, why Jace kept you from us, for so long."

I blushed and tried to keep my response cool," I don't know why, but you guys are so pretty too."

Then she moved out the way, and the next girl hugged me and I felt so welcomed. "My name is Nia, and it so nice to meet you." she said.

"It's so nice to meet you too.", I reply.

I look at the next girl and she ignores me. She breathes hard and then says, "I'm going to go get some cotton candy".

Everyone else just roll their eyes at her. "That's Kendall; she's naturally bitchy like that." Kalani says.

"But, once you get to know her, you will love her.", Maddie says.

Jace then decides to talk,"Well since the girls took up so much time to talk, I'll introduce the guys".

He points to a tall blonde, that's Tyler. He points to a average height red head, and then a gorgeous blue eyed brunette, that's Hunter.

After the introductions, we all had fun, when on every ride we seen. As it was getting later, Jace decided to take me on the Ferris wheel. As we rode to the top, he started talking." Riley, look I like you, like really like you and I want to know if you want to be my girlfriend?", he asks, I could her the nervousness in his voice.

I then take his face and kiss him. " Yes, Jace "

After Jace asked me out me and the girls, decided to just walk by ourselves." So you're sure you go to Abagail Adams High School?", an unsure Kalani asked.

"Yea,I'm just a freshman", I reply.

As we continued walking, I seen five people, I never thought about seeing.

There was Lucas, Maya,Farckle, Smackle, and Zay; at the ticket booth.

They didn't notice me, and I was trying to stay hidden. The last thing I wanted was to be humiliated infront of my upperclassmen friends. And, just as we were about to pass, I hear Zay call my name. " Riley, come see."

Maya pov:

I honestly didn't know what was more worst.. Seeing your best friend replace you so fast, with upperclassmen friends; or running into your best friend with these new "Best friends" and nowhere to hide.

"So, Riley, who's your new hot friends", a nervous Zay said.

"Uhh this is Kalani, Maddie, Nia ,and Kendall, they are sophomores and Juniors.", Riley replied.

I couldn't believe that she was hanging out with upperclassmen, without me. I look at Riley and I see her looking at Lizzy. " Maya who's your new friend?", a jealous Riley speaks.

" This is Lizzy, we meet in Art class; she's an amazing artist and we have so much in common.", I say trying to rile her up.

I love Riley it's true, she's my best , I wanted her to feel the pain, that I felt.

"That's so cool, well I'll talk to you guys later.",she says. And, just like that her and her new friends were gone.

"Good job, Maya, now Riley's gone." Farkle said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I just got a little jealous.", I reply shamefully.

"Well, know we know we've been replaced for sure.", smackle replies.

"Yea, and we need Riley, to balance us out.", Zay says truthfully.

"Guys, stop being so mean to Maya, pushing Riley away is all of our faults, we did this", Lucas defended

Oh Lucas being my hero again, making me feel better about things. If it wasn't for him, my life would be completely complicated. He just makes it a little better.

But, then again I realize that he is the reason why I lost my best friend. I wish she was here beside me, I wish it wasn't like this.

I wish I would've chose her over Lucas.

I really do, because even though I have him; I feel like a piece of me is missing. And, anyways I feel like we are just growing apart. And, I believe it all starts and ends with riley.

Riley's pov

I sat in my room making sure everything is prepared. Kalani and the girls are coming over and I'm quite nervous. This would be my first sleepover, that Maya hasn't been too. Of course, since I met the girls I've been to Kalani's, Maddie's, and Nia's houses.

I haven't been to Kendall's because for some reason she doesn't like me.

But, anyways it's now my turn for the sleepover. As I was about to stress more about the sleepover, my phone started to ring. I pick it up to hear my favorite voice lately. " Hey babe, stressing still", a sleepy Jace spoke.

Ever since Jace and I got together, life's been blissful and I've been happy. He introduced me to Kalani and the girls,and he helped me move on from the fight with Maya. It's hard seeing her move straight past me in the halls.

But, with the girls by my side for the most of the day, I'm empowered, but depressed. Jace and I have been on many dates, he tries to bring me somewhere every time he gets from practice. But my favorite place is the beach.

We just sit there and talk all night, but we never get personal. This bugs me so much; because I just want to know everything about him.

As I think, I hear him speak through the phone, "Hello, babe are you there."

"Oh, yea, I'm completely stressed. I just want them to like me."

"Riley, they already do, they hang out with you every day." he replies

"But, I just want them to like me more, and if my house is not perfect, then they can begin to hate me.", I rant.

"And, this is why I love you", I hear him say.

And before we can continue the conversation the doorbell rings and I have to go. I reply with a quick goodbye and try to push it to the back of my head.

I look at the wall clock that hangs by the door and see that it's 6:30, the girls are early, there supposed to be her at 7:00.

I open the door to see my uncle Shawn, Ms. Hart, and Maya.

Riley pov continued:

The girls , Maya, and I sat laughing talking about our most embarrassing moments, to first kisses. At first, when my dad asked Maya if she wanted hang with me and my friends , while Auggie my parents ,and Maya parents eat dinner at Topanga's, I knew something was up.

Of course, I liked it because it was my chance to fix the friendship, without any of our friends being there, like Lucas to mess it up. But, I was scared what if my new friends didn't like Maya, or Maya didn't like them. It's just my new friends are so rainbows and sunshine, like me. While, Maya isn't so rainbows and sunshine.

That was all proven wrong, as we sat there laughing ojur butts off. "So, Riley who was your best kiss", Maddie says, face red from laughing.

"Jace, of course", I say, while eating my Twizzlers.

"Wait, you and Jace are a thing", Maya asked me confused.

Before I can answer Nia says, "Yea they are like the schools it couple."

Kendall then say," I wouldn't say it's that serious."

Everyone just look at her and roll their eyes and she just shrug her shoulders. I then decide that I should put her in her place, "jace told me he loved me."

All the girls start squealing and jumping up and down, while Kendall sits bitter.

"Do you think he will ask you to Homecoming", Nia says, after the squealing match.

"Duh, he said he loved her", Kalani says.

The conversation twist and turn as the girls go on and on. But, I just sit there wondering will he ask me, and will I say yes. Because, as much as I want to I'm not over Lucas. Doesn't matter how hard I try. I can't get over him.

Author's note;

So I wanted to make this longer, but it's been so long decided to just do two updates. It 12 a.m. right now and I'm exhausted so the next chapter will be started ,but finished and uploaded later th other news, I wanted to bring my favorite show ever into this. I love dance mom, so I decided to associate some of the stars in my story.

I wanted to give Maya and Riley a break to become themselves. Learn the world without each other for a while, and now they have, and I believe their friendship will be stronger for it. I also like these new characters, but that Kendall though. I love Kendall on dance moms, but we needed a bad guy.

Next chapter; look for Homecoming proposals and everything homecoming.

Also,I decide that this story won't be long, but I will have a sequel.

Hope you enjoyed.
