Hey everybody. I'm back. I'm really sorry that this didn't come sooner, but I was on holiday and I've been out almost everyday of the Easter Holidays. Also minor writers block didn't help! So I hope you all had a good Easter and ate a lot of chocolate! The next one shot is called 'Girl Meets Lucas'. Basically, it's Lucas' perspective during 'Girl Meets World' (episode), which I DON'T own! Also, a couple of added scenes! Hope I got the real footage (that I don't own) correct! Enjoy!

New York City had proven to be huge - much bigger than I originally thought. I was giving myself a tour of my neighbourhood and was riding the subway home. I was texting all of my friends back in Texas, telling them about what I'd seen. Suddenly, I looked up, and saw two girls looking over it me. One of which had brown hair, and one had wavy blonde hair. The brown haired girl looked nervous, and I noticed the blonde one coming over to me.

"Hi, I'm Maya, you're really cute, we should hang out some time. You make me happy." She started. I smiled at her, about to ask for her number, when all of a sudden, she said.

"You don't pay enough attention to me! This isn't working out - it's you, not me. We can still be friends. Not really." I was shocked, but I kept smiling. Secretly, I wanted to give the girl, Maya, my number, but the whole conversation was probably a dare, set up by the brunette, presumably her best friend. Suddenly, I saw Maya pushing the brunette in my direction, and she landed on my lap. She was smiling nervously, as she moved to sit in the seat next to me. Then she introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Riley. You just broke up with my best friend."

"I'm Lucas." I responded. Then, a woman came over and made Riley move, but a few seconds later, she was pushed by Maya. This time, she landed on the lady, who was sitting next to me. The lady transferred Riley on to my lap, and then it was her stop.

The next day was Monday - my first day at John Quincy Adams middle school, 7th grade. I walked into my first class, history, with Mr. Matthews. And to my surprise, the two girls from the subway were there! My seat was behind Maya - luck! I heard Riley whisper to Maya "subway boy!" in a joyful tone, so they were happy to see me. I don't know what usually happens in Mr. Matthews classes, but today, Maya held a rebellion. Even though it was wrong, and I didn't join in, Maya looked quite good! Lunchtime came around quickly, and I was looking for somewhere to sit. There were several different tables, and I didn't want to mix in with the wrong crowd. That's when Maya and Riley appeared out of the corner of my eye. They were sitting at a table towards the centre of the cafeteria. I walked towards their table, about to sit in the seat between them when a small boy took the seat from me. So I continued to struggle. Then, the boy moved, and the seat next to Riley became available. So I walked back to their table and sat in it. Of course, I would've preferred to sit next to Maya, but hey, you can't have everything! Mr. Matthews clearly doesn't want his daughter talking to boys, as he pulled me away from Riley.

The next day, I had history and I got to sit behind Maya. That makes my day. However, today something unusual happened. Something that never happened when I was in Texas. Maya held another rebellion, and nearly set out homework on fire. Instead, the fire alarm went off. Maya got a detention. I managed to catch up with her after school. She seemed upset, maybe through guilt about what she'd done.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah, fine." She smiled, but I could tell it was fake.

"Okay, now tell me the truth." I smiled back. I knew something was wrong because she had tears in her eyes.

"Well, I guess I'm just feeling a little guilty about today. I'm slightly rebellious, but I've never done anything that bad before." She said, sounding genuine.

"Well, I heard from Riley you don't normally do your homework. Is that why you held the rebellion?" I ask.

"No. The rebellion was because homework isn't really fair on people like me." She answered.

"Why?"

"I have nobody at home to help me with my homework, and I'm not exactly smart." Maya explained.

"Well, come back to mine, and I'll help you." I offered Maya. I just wanted to spend time with her and get to know her better. Maya and I managed to complete out homework within half an hour, so we decided to hang out for a while. The next day it school, myself, Maya and Riley were seated in the classroom, when I heard Riley and Maya discussing the homework.

"Don't tell me. You didn't do your homework?" Riley said. But Maya smiled, holding up her homework for Riley to see.

"No way! You actually completed the homework."

"Yeah. Maya's capable of much more than people give her credit for." I chipped in. Maya smiled her thanks at me. Mr. Matthews entered the classroom.

"Huh, Maya, I see you've learned your lesson and completed last night's homework." He smiled. Maya nodded, and handed it in. Mr. Matthews read it. He looked impressed.

"I think this is an A+ assignment." He said, giving it back to Maya.

"I can't take all the credit. I wouldn't even have done it if Lucas hadn't helped me." She said, smiling back at me. I was slightly surprised, but also very flattered. And Maya has the most beautiful smile, so hopefully the splash of red across my cheeks went unnoticed.

After school, in the evening, myself, Maya, Mr. Matthews, Mrs. Matthews, Riley, her younger brother Auggie, and the kid who took my seat that lunchtime, who turned out to be called Farkle, gathered at Riley's subway station.

"We are gathered her today to celebrate Riley being Riley." Mr. Matthews said. And the ceremony continued. Riley and Maya boarded a train, and we all hung around the station until they got back. When they did depart from one of the trains, I felt relaxed that nothing had happened to them, and I was grateful that Maya was wearing her beautiful smile.
