A/N: Thank you for the reviews. I hope you are all enjoying this fanfiction. Anyway here it is!
Maya was peacefully in her room,drawing as much as her heart desires. With the visit from the guest,it gave her less and less time to complete focuse on her picture. She gave up after a while and just wanted to sleep,it wasn't like her but if she couldn't focuse,she couldn't draw her picture right. She took pride in her work,which she never did with anything else,this was her special place. The place where anything could be real,it was her time to shine. Her time to resolve conflict and understand the world. This was a place of her belief and hope.
Lucas was back in his own bedroom now,pondering on the newest topic of class and the window he had previously been to. His mind was focusing on his little,blonde beauty who had captured his heart recently. He was trying so hard to complete his assignment which was due in two days. He knew all the answers and didn't need help with it yet he found himself in a group chat asking about it. Maya,Riley and Zay weren't really sure and if they were they'd already done it or had their teachers help who wouldn't let people cheat. How lucky is Riley Matthews? He thought. Riley had all the answers in front of her,Maya wasn't going to do it. Everyone was sure of that and Zay was wherever he was,he just didn't reply. Farkle finally came and gave some light on the situation. He had all the answers to the questions and even had some questions of his own answered. He was definitely a genius! That didn't need explaining,it was obvious. Lucas made up an excuse about having to help his mama so he didn't have to answer any questions he didn't know how to.
Maya looked at the newest group chat,Ranger Rick was asking about homework. She simply told everyone that she was doing art homework and that she didn't have time for this. Secretly,she had already done it. If she believed in something strongly,which was rare,she would make an effort. However,Her drawings weren't exactly turning out right so she gave up. Instead,she tried other things. She tried playing guitar,baking,singing and texting Riley about her newest drawn pictures but nothing could take her mind off him. It was nearly seven o'clock when the previous day seemed to repeat itself. A quick bang on the window and she was up,she didn't want to answer but there was no excuse that she could make up. "What you doing here,Ranger Rick?" Maya asked. "Just wandering by,thought I'd come see you." He replied. "You know you can't keep doing this." Maya sternly told him. "Look,I just wanted to ask: Why do you push me away?" Lucas tried and tried for an answer but he'd never gotten it,now was his chance. "You can't keep coming to my house like this,Lucas." Maya made sure she didn't say anything she could regret. "When you're ready to talk,I'll be right here. Just call." Lucas told her and with that he was gone. Maya thought about what he had said,she always thought Riley was the one she could speak to...now she wasn't so sure.
Lucas drew one more picture,this time it replicated the image he was previously in. It had Maya's window and the back of his head then her. She was laying on her bed drawing peacefully,it was as if everything was perfect. He wanted to be in a world like this but he knew he couldn't. That was impossible because the picture he drew implyed that they were together. Everything would change if that happened though,he wouldn't break Riley. He kind of already did at one point but once it was explained,she was fine. He was starting to think she might have even got over him. Found herself a new person to think about for two years. At least that's what he hoped. He hoped because he knew Maya would never be with him if Riley was still hung up on him,she didn't break her friends like that. She called herself the broken girl and she didn't want that for her friends. Lucas knew not to mess with her because he could never win.
Maya,on the other hand,always messed with him. She wasn't mean to him,it was just their game which she always won. Besides Lucas noticed how she smiled every time she got to mess with him so he let it be. It was how things were,how things were always supposed to be. She was a tough girl who knew what she wanted. However,now she wasn't so sure. She thought that maybe a tiny bit of hope in Lucas was what she could never have but now she was beginning to trust him. Something she never thought she could do...that scared her. She was finally giving in to an unknown enemy and nothing was as it seemed.
Lucas had a great life or so everyone imagined. He could easily get into the popular group but he stuck by his friends. The ones that would treat him right no matter what he did. The ones he could always rely on. Those were his real friends,Riley,Farkle and Maya. Riley believed in him still even after he chose Maya. She understood that sometimes Maya will be chosen over her,it's just who's right for whatever it is they're doing. Maya didn't have the best family life behind her smile but she had friends who could count on her and a mother who tried really hard to be there for her. That was all that mattered. Lucas had the best friends he could ask for. The best and only friends he wanted to keep. This was what was important to him and so was art. So he drew whatever he felt,whoever he was constantly reminded of and most of the time that was Maya.
