Hey guys! I just want to say, I am SO sorry I didn't update yesterday! I had meant to but I got a new book and stayed up all night reading it. Sorry! But, I'm back and that's what's important. So, I am actually REALLY happy! You guys sent in a bunch of reviews! Here they are:

CrazyMeReally said: So that happened...and part off hates you for it but at the same time I loved it. Also can I just say math freaking sucks! It's all super easy and I have it year round when in all of my other classes I only have it for a semester! So every day this year I have to deal with an annoying teacher who acts like I'm stupid when I'm acing his class in my sleep! Also next semester I have to take German 3 with a bunch of Juniors and Seniors, I'm a freshman so I have a feeling that they will try me which they will regret. So yeah that wasn't about your story at all but I don't want to delete it. So yeah your story is amazing and I love it and whenever I check my email and it comes up I am so happy inside!
Reply: Wow. I just wanna say, other than the part where you get good grades and stuff, you kind of remind me of Maya. With the part where you said they would regret it if they tried you. Anyway, I totally agree with you on the math and the teachers! Thanks for the review!

Chapter 1 review:
Kim said: Please update soon please
Reply: Okay!
Okay guys, first, WOW! Second, WOW! Thank ya'll for reviewing! And, I may be wrong, but I'm thinking you guys want Riley and Luke together. You know, judging by the ten reviews saying that Riley should say yes lol! Anyway, thank you guys for all the reviews! It means so much to me! And thank you to the Guests who keep coming back! That means a lot too! And you all say that I'm a good author but, really, what good is an author with no readers? So, thank you guys for being my readers! I really appreciate it!
Also, for those of you who are fans of the Riley/Luke and Maya/Michael relationships, I think you'll like this chapter! And, CrazyMeReally, remember the first time when you reviewed under the name Tolazytologin and asked me what I was going to do with Calum? Well, I haven't forgotten. I know that I've been focusing on Riley, Luke, Michael , Maya, and Ashton but I will do a chapter or chapters for Calum. Promise. Anyway, I hope you guys like this chapter!
" Um... I don't know" Riley drug out the last word. She knew what she was doing was cruel. But it was kind of fun to see how nervous she was making him. She was never able to make people nervous. But, she cared about Luke, a lot, so she could only keep the act up for about two minutes before a huge smile broke over her face.
" Of course, I'll go out with you! I've been waiting for you to ask me!" she said.
Luke was really confused. He didn't know what to do. Hell, he didn't even know if they were dating or not! One second she's saying she doesn't know and the next she's saying that she's been waiting for him to ask her? It made no sense!
" Soooo, are we dating or not?" he asked.
" Yes silly!" She smiled and gave him a quick hug.
When she went to pull back he held her close to him. Then, he kissed her. It was quick but sweet. He couldn't help it. He was just so happy! He'd been scared that she would reject him but she hadn't! She was his girlfriend! He had a girlfriend! Oh no. He had a girlfriend. He had promised himself that he wouldn't get a girlfriend. It would break her heart when he went away on tour again!
" Luke, what's wrong? You look really worried about something," she said.
" Nothing. Everything's fine," he smiled down at her.
He may be worried, but he wasn't going to let that ruin the moment. He was going to enjoy the time with he had with her. And he would deal with his worries later. She was happy and that was good enough for him right now.
" You know, as much as I would love to stay here in your arms like this, and trust me, I would LOVE to, I have to go to the studio today," she said disappointedly.
She had hoped that when he asked her out, she would be able to spend time with him. But, here she was ruining the moment because she had to run off to work.
" That's okay " he comforted her " We'll have plenty of time to go do stuff as a couple. And, if you want I can drive you to work" he said.
" Thanks, " she said hugging him and stealing one last kiss before running to go get ready for work.
Maya was working late as usual. She worked as an artist, yes but she also worked at a small cafe as a waitress. She couldn't really complain, though, the job was good and paid decently. Of course, it helped that her best friends mom was also her boss. But even if she weren't, Maya wouldn't care. She liked working here. Most people who came in were nice enough and tipped pretty well. She usually stayed pretty busy. Tonight, however, was different. It was late and there was no one there. As Maya cleaned up the days messes, she hooked her phone into the speaker system and sang along to her favorite song as she swept the floor.
" You say that I'm too complicated
Hung up and mis - educated
I say 9 to 5 is overrated
And we all fall down" she sang.
She started to lose herself in the music and dance as she swept and sang. That is until the bell on the door announced the presence of two guys that had walked in and seen her. Maya's cheeks were fire red from embarrassment as she went to walk behind the counter. And it only got worse as she realized just who these two guys were. Luke Hemmings and Michael Clifford. Or, in other words, her best friends new boyfriend and her crush. Now, Maya was sure she was going to die of embarrassment. But despite that, Maya put on a smile and tried to act like her normal, confident self.
" Hey, what can I get for you today?" she asked.
" Does the coffee come with a show?" Michael asked jokingly.
" Sure, if you're willing to pay for it," Maya said as a comeback.
" Absolutely," Michael told her. " How much will it be?"
" Depends, you haven't ordered yet," she told him with a smirk. She could see Luke trying to hold back a laugh. He knew where she was going with this.
" Right. Luke, what'd ya want?" Michael asked.
" Just coffee please," Luke told her.
" Same for me," said Michael.
" That will be eight dollars please," Maya told them.
" That includes the show right?" Michael asked with his own smirk growing on his face.
" Sure does," she said waiting for the cash. Then, once she got it, she added.
" It's right there on the TV," Maya told him. Luke couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.
" She got you dude!" he laughed.
" Shut up" Michael scowled.
But, Luke didn't shut up. He just kept laughing and soon Maya joined in. And when they stopped, they had to wipe tears from their eyes.
" Ahhh That was great" Luke sighed trying to calm down.
" Alright, Maya" Michael looked at her.
" If you won't dance for me will you, at least, dance with me?." he said.
" What?" Maya's face fell serious.
" Yep. From what I saw, you've got some moves. And don't try to say we don't have music because I saw that your phone was what was playing into the speakers earlier." he told her.
" Fine" she groaned. All Michael did was smirk. He had her. He had outplayed her at her own game.
As he danced with her, though, it became less about annoying her, he started to enjoy having her in his arms again. Only, this time, he wasn't trying to comfort her after she broke down in a hotel hallway crying. After they danced through the second song, Luke decided to sneak out and let them have some privacy.
Maya and Michael danced to song after song. Maya couldn't explain it, it just felt right. So they danced, neither daring to say a word for fear of ruining it until her song list ended. They stopped but, didn't move. They stood there, their arms around each other, looking into each other's eyes. Soon, they started to lean towards each other, and when their lips met, it was unlike anything either of them had ever felt. His arms tightened just a little around her waist and her hands tightened around his neck pulling him closer. When they finally stopped a few minutes later, they were both breathless. Neither of them said a word. Instead, he silently helped her finish cleaning up the cafe.
Awwwww! How adorable was that?! I'll tell you, it was TOTALLY adorable! Anyway, I hope you guys review and let me know what you think! Or, also, if you have any story/chapter requests, I would love to here them! Please review! And until next time...
