So I know that I have posted in a long time, sorry. I got so wrapped up in starting school again, then I became addicted to Shannara Chronicles and watched like every episode four times already. I just haven't had time to write. I'm terrible at schedules. But I'm going to try to update every weekend.

Riley, Maya, Farkle, Lucas, and Zay were hanging out are Topanga's right after school on Friday. Adjusting to their first of high school was difficult for them and they did not get a chance to spend time together as a group all week, expect at lunch. As a matter of fact, all five of them haven't really been all together since summer started. They sat in their usual spot around the coffee table. Riley and Lucas were sitting next to each other on the couch, Zay and Maya sat on the two chairs that were next to each other, and Farkle sat on the chair that was opposite of Riley and Lucas.

"What should we do tonight?" Lucas asked his friends.

"Something new this time" Riley said.

"Let's go Bowling!" Zay answered.

"No, I hate bowling. I can never pick up the bowling ball" said Farkle. Everyone laughed.

"Don't worry Farkle. I'm sure there's a nice, light, pink bowling ball for little kids that you can use" Maya teased.

"Ha Ha very funny" Farkle replied sarcastically. "I might not have arm muscles but at least I don't have a flat butt like Zay."

"Shut up" Zay chuckled.

"I'm kidding. But no seriously, I'm good. You guys go. I'll probably go see Smackle tonight" Farkle said.

"Alright. What about you guys?" Lucas said, speaking to Riley, Maya, and Zay. Both Riley and Zay said that they would go while Maya didn't answer.

"Maya, you coming?" Lucas asked.

"Actually I can't. I already have plans" Maya replied. Riley has the only one of the group that Maya told about her date with Nathan.

"Plans? Doing what?" Lucas asked her.

"I'm going out with Nathan."

"You're going out with that guy? But you just meet him! For all you could know, he could be like a drug dealer or something. Just come bowling with us. You'll have more fun. Just tell him you have to cancel. I'll even tell him if you want me to" Lucas said passionately. When he finished talking, they all stared at him with shock because of his reaction. Riley was agitated by Lucas' reaction. Why does he care so much that Maya is going out with Nathan? She thought to herself.

"Lucas. I'm going out with Nathan tonight. There's nothing that's going to change that" Maya said sternly.

"Where's he taking you?" Zay asked. Maya turned to Zay and lost the serious expression on her face.

"We're gonna go eat then he's taking me to this film festival for old scary movies" Maya said with a smile. They all knew that Maya loved horror films and Riley told Nathan when he asked her for advice about where he should take Maya.

"Nice. Have fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't do" Farkle said.

"Okay I won't," Maya chuckled. "I better get going. I only have three hours to get ready. Come on Riley. Riley stood up with Maya, since Riley volunteered to help Maya get ready for tonight.

"I'll meet you guys here at 7:30 when we're done" Riley said to Lucas and Zay. Riley and Maya left. Then Farkle left about twenty minutes later to go see Smackle, leaving Lucas and Zay alone.

"You wanna tell me what that freak out you had earlier was about?" Zay asked Lucas.

"It wasn't a freak out" Lucas said defensively. "I was just….."

"Freaking out."

"No, Zay. I wasn't. I was just surprised. That's all."

"Come on man. I've known you since we were kids. Give me more credit than that, I know what I saw."

Lucas sighed. "You're right. The truth?"

"That would be a start."

"I just don't like the guy."

"Seriously? That's all you're giving me. Just admit it."

"Admit what?!"

"You like Maya."

"Me? Like Maya?" Lucas said surprised, trying to play it off.

"Yes, you."

"No I don't!" His voice cracked. "And besides, even if I did, hypothetically have feelings for her, it wouldn't matter. I chose Riley. You even told me that I couldn't change my decision. And I don't wanna hurt Riley."

"You're hurting Riley if you continue a relationship where you don't feel the same way about her as she feels about you because you like someone else."

"But they're best friends. My hypothetical feels would hurt their friendship. But I can't deal with this right now."

"You're gonna have to sooner or later."

"Whatever. Look, I'm…I'm not feeling very well. I don't think I'm up for bowling tonight. I'll see you later." Lucas left Topanga's and headed home.
