After the get-together unfortunately it was a school night so the gang had all went home saying "see you tomorrow's" to Farkle and Lucas.
Lucas had said goodbye specifically to Maya and she put a finger in her mouth and faked gagged and left with Riley who was calm now. He smirked at Maya's reaction.
Farkle had shown him his room. It was spacious and showed an incredible view of almost the entirety of New York. The painting on the walls were a baby blue color. There was a brown desk with a gray overhead light next to the bed.
There was a closet next to the big glass pane windows. The glass pane windows had a glass sliding door next to it which led to a balcony. A perfect place to write and smoke he thought.
Across the bed to the right of the door was the master bathroom. With the help of Farkle they had brought his stuff to his room.
The things Lucas had brought were two boxes filled with awards and stuff he collected from countries on his tours all over the world. He also brought his duffle bag full of his clothing, his notebook in which he wrote songs in, and his black electric guitar planted in the corner of his room.
"How could... you... not be... tired?" Farkle had breathed deeply with his hands on his knees looking at his cousin in disbelief.
Lucas looked like he didn't even break a sweat while Farkle was over here sweating and dying.
Lucas laughed and handed Farkle a water bottle. He chugged it down gratefully. "I workout everyday." Lucas said in a no big deal tone.
"Huh?" Farkle said bewildered. "On tour I ran around on stage a lot so I have to have metabolism." Lucas said sitting on the mattress taking off his nike shoes. "And it gets the girls." Lucas said smugly.
"No wonder Riley likes you. You have pithons for arms, while my arms are lanky." Farkle said in a defeated way.
"You like Riley?" Lucas said in a curious tone. "Yeah but she'll never feel the same. Did you see the way she reacted to you earlier?!" Farkle said frowning.
"Don't worry Farkle I'll help you get the girl." Lucas offered nonchalantly. She was pretty and all but he only wanted to be friends with her. He already had his eyes on the blonde spitfire.
"Really?" Farkle had jumped and was smiling big and hugged his cousin. As much as he would like to use Riley to his advantage he would have to use a different tactic. Besides Farkle deserved her and he would get a good mark on Maya's side.
"Sure." Lucas said smiling. "Hey I noticed the room color and I kinda want to change it. Do you know anyone that paints?" Lucas said noting his mom and Maya talking about the portrait earlier.
"Oh yeah, Maya paints. She is one of the best artists at Abigail Adams school. She is also president of the art club." Farkle said and sat down next to Lucas.
"Do you mind asking her if she could help me paint the room sometime?" Lucas said in a casual tone.
"Yeah I'll let her know. Hey do you like Maya?" Farkle observed Lucas. "No I just want to be friends with her." Lucas lied running his hand through his dark blonde hair.
"Okay, thanks for the help Lucas." Farkle said leaving the room. "You're welcome cuz." Lucas had said in a exaggerated Texas tone and smiled. Farkle had laughed and went to his room across from Lucas's room in the hallway.
Lucas had took off his black muscle tee and hopped in the shower. Lucas's muscled back was to the water and his hair was in his face.
After about twenty minutes he got out and put on a white t- shirt and his grey sweats. He started strumming thinking of a blonde.
Riley's apartment
"How was meeting Lucas?" Topanga had asked the girls when she turned the keys to the apartment. Maya was sleeping over Riley's house again so she was heading for the table.
"It was super cool until I fainted." Riley said in a casual tone. Topanga was not suprised and just smiled at her clumsy daughter. "I was going to show him around but Zay had already took the position." "But I have a right to show him the bay window. It's my house!" Riley rambled on sitting on the stool next to Maya.
"What about you?" Topanga asked Maya who was silent on the subject. "I don't see the big deal about him." Maya said sketching in her sketchbook.
Riley and Topanga both grimaced remembering the messy breakup between Josh and Maya.
Flashback 3 months ago
Like the weather predicted this would happen it started to rain. Maya just kept on running blinded by the rain and her tears. She kept on running till she reached Riley's window.
She climbed up the fire escape and knocked on her window. Riley looked up from her homework and saw Maya drenched and eyeliner running down her face.
She immediately ran to the window and opened the window for her best friend. Riley immediately embraced her.
Maya found solace in Riley's warmth and cried on her shoulder. "What's wrong?" Riley said petting her blonde hair.
Maya was crying so hard it barely sounded audible. Riley had told Maya to take a shower before she catched a cold. Riley had opened Maya's section of her drawer and took out her pj's.
After Maya got dressed Maya looked a bit better. She cuddled up to Riley on the bed. "Josh cheated on me." Maya said sadly.
"What?!" How could Josh do that to you. I will kick his ass!" Riley said to Maya genuinely.
Maya laughed and said "It's fine Riles. Just don't let go." "Don't worry I'm right here." Riley said hugging her.
It took a while for Maya to be her normal self. She finally had the courage to delete the jerkface's number. Ever since then she closed off all love from her life. Rarely trusting anyone outside her group of friends.
"C'mon Maya he could be different. Give him a chance please!" Riley asked with her puppy eyes.
Maya relented. "Fine, I'll give him a chance. Maybe I was a little harsh earlier." Maya said.
Riley yelled "yay!" and hugged Maya. Maya hugged her back and laughed.
The Minkus Household
They decided to let Lucas stay the rest of the week at home to get Lucas more comfortable.
Next week he would go to school.
That meant he had 7 hours in the house to himself. He never experienced so much laziness and boredom before.
On tour he constantly moved from place to place, country to country, it was also partially why he named the band On the Run.
He played guitar for awhile. His mom went off to see some of her friends. Then he posted a picture on instagram. It got to a million likes in minutes.
He was eating an apple when he got a text from Zay.
It said "how you doing? Miss me?" He responded with "no." Two seconds later Zay texted "were not friends anymore." Lucas had laughed and texted "how will I live on?"
Zay then texted "45 more minutes of geometry I will not fucking use out of high school then I'm all yours."
Lucas had then texted "see you later" and went to change out of his sweats and t-shirt. He opted with black ripped jeans, a black shirt with a white adidas logo and black and white sneakers.
He also called his security guard Jerry just for safety precautions. He texted his mom he was going out and he took the keys.
Lucas was waiting in the hallway. The bell to the elevator rang and his best friend appeared.
"Hey man, whoa who is that?" Zay said eyeing the strong-built, intense looking man next to him.
"This is my security guard / personal trainer Jerry." "Just in case things go awry." Lucas said to him. Jerry nodded his head in response.
"Don't worry you'll barely see him." Lucas said reassuringly. "Okay, well first we're going to Topanga's to meet up with the gang." Zay said to him as they walked into the elevator.
He heard Zay mention Topanga's bakery once or twice. He said the mango strawberry swirl smoothies was to die for.
They started on their brisk walk to Topanga's. Along the way showing him stores and which food vendor carts to avoid.
A few people stopped to take pictures with him. He told them not to post until a few days later.
If they posted the location fans would find them faster than flies. This was his life on an everyday basis. He just dealt with it.
Luckily no more people stopped them. They walked in the atmosphere light and homey type of feel.
He then seen his new group of friends. Riley was laughing at something Farkle said tugging on his arm. He slightly blushed and looked at her like he was his whole world.
He mentally grimaced thinking of his obnoxious ex- girlfriend Missy.
Flashback last year
Lucas had just got off the stage. His hometown was super hot but he felt at home. He was especially excited to see his girlfriend Missy.
Zay had introduced the two and they immediately hit it off.
After the concert he was super excited. He was going to tell her he loved her. He was falling hard and fast but he knew she was the one.
Lucas had gone home to take a shower and change. He had everything prepared. He was going to sing her one of his new songs inspired by her.
It was one of his slower songs so he brought an acoustic guitar. He had asked Zay to come with him to film.
"Everything will be fine. You got this." Zay said squeezing his shoulder in the passenger seat.
Lucas was gripping the car wheel tightly his hands were white.
"I've never been this nervous before." Lucas said taking deep breaths and loosening his grip on the wheel. They finally pulled up to her house.
He got out of the car. He walked up the steps. He immediately looked down at his guitar tuning it.
He knocked on the door. Then he started to sing. "Baby you're love is sweet to me, I couldn't ask for anything more, I met you in my hometown, I come knocking at your door."
He was putting all his heart into it. What he didn't expect was a guy who's shirt was off answering the door. His brown hair was disheveled and he was wearing pajama shorts.
"What happ- Ohh hey Lucas!" Missy said she was in a robe. She tried lifting up her robe collar to hide the hickey.
Lucas immediately saw red and punched him. His heart was torn into a million pieces. He kept on punching him and punching him.
Zay had turned off the camera and ran to Lucas pulling him back. Lucas's hands were shaking and he was crying.
"Cmon they're not worth it let's go." Zay said calmly pulling him away.
Lucas never wanted to love anyone ever again. It went downhill from there. Lucas was not stable for weeks. He was putting up a front that everything was fine.
With the help of Zay, he got over her. He burned all her things and got back on his feet.
After burning all her stuff it had made Lucas a new person. It represented a start for him.
He then decided that he never wanted to feel vulnerablity or pain again and he took out all love from his life. He then started to become the elusive Lucas Friar who smokes and sleep with girls.
He shook his head. She didn't deserve him thinking of her. He then spotted Smackle talking to a innocent bystander about a random nutrition fact. He looked like he wanted to jet. It seemed the lunch rush had passed. Only an elderly couple and a guy with a computer and business attire remained.
Finally he spotted Maya across from Riley in the booth listening to music sketching along the margins of her notebook.
"Are you even listening to me?" Zay said waving his hand in his face. "Yep!" "Hey why don't you get two smoothies. My treat." He said handing Zay a 20 dollar bill.
He didn't hear Zay's response and sat down. Maya jumped from her seat. "Hey Maya." He leaned over her shoulder and saw a real life sketch of a bird.
"Wow you're really good." "Thanks Huckleberry." She blushed taking the unexpected compliment.
When Lucas leaned over her he smelt intoxicatingly good. She immediately tried to scoot away but there was no space.
Lucas had purposely pulled his muscled arm over the booth seat. He looked like he was innocent doing it.
She wanted to push him away but she looked at Riley giving her a look. She mentally sighed. For Riley. She thought.
"Huckleberry?" He said amused. "Well you are from Texas aren't you?" She said trying to get a rise out of him.
He then laughed. Riley looked at the banter in utter amusement.
Maya had then said she wanted to get a smoothie.
He moved out of the way. He was also slightly confused as to why she was being nice. But the way she glanced at Riley she had something to do with it.
Perfect his plan will be easier than he thought.
AN : I'm going to make Abigail Adams a private school. I feel it would make more sense. Because I'm pretty sure a public school he would get discovered quickly. Also basically Maya thinks pretty and charming guys like Lucas are all like Josh. She basically doesn't want things to change and she is scared so she lashes out at Lucas. I hope that explains more. :):)
