No One's POV

They had arrived at the ranch they were staying in and they were all shocked. When they heard they were staying in a ranch they were disappointed. They imagined some type of broken down muddy and wooden place, but that's not what they got.

"What kind of ranch is this." Zay stared at the ranch practically in love.

This kind of ranch was different. It was like a lodge. It was huge like mansion, and it was made out of rich wood and beautiful stone.

"Hello Everyone. Welcome to the Ridgewood Bay Lodge!" A stranger greeted opening the doors for them.

Everyone walked in and they were even more amused.

"Jesus Christ. It's even more beautiful on the inside." Maya gasped.

"Thank you! I put a lot of money and work into making this lodge."

"Is this your house?" Joshua asked.

"It is when people are not visiting. When people are here I live in the little house down the trail, but I do mostly stay here for field trips like these." She told them, "You're probably wondering who I am. My name is Clara, and I am the person who's going to be taking you to all your activities, and guiding you the whole way you are here"

"Hi." Everyone said back.

"I have all the information for you if any needs them, but here's the basics. Breakfast is at 8 am, Lunch 12:30 and dinner is 6pm, but you guys are free to get snacks at any time. There's three floors. There are 5 bathrooms and 6 bedrooms. In each bedroom there are two doubles beds and some dressers. I have my own personal bedroom. It looks like you all have 18 people including the adults so some will have to share a bed." She told us, "The first activity is 2pm and it's going to the beach"

We all nodded.

"I love the beach." Lucas smiled.

""Okay that's all I wanted to let you guys know. You can get cozy and comfortable in your new rooms. They are on the third floor and the second floor."

They all nodded again and she walked away.

"So who's sharing roo-"

"We don't like any of you so me and Brandon arent sharing a room. Bye." They said hurrying away.

"Bitch." Maya called out.

"Hey Hey! Just ignore her you guys! We don't want this trip to be about drama we want to have fun okay?"

"Like that's possible." Jade mumbled under her breathe.

"Well that's one room down. 5 More left which means there are 10 more beds. Me, Topanga, Joshua and Auggie will share a room."

4 more rooms, 8 more beds, and 12 more people.

"Me, Jake, and Sophia can share a room together." Cece said.

Cece, and Jake were dating and Sophia was both of their best friends.

"Okay 3 more rooms, 6 more beds, 9 more people." Cory said.

"Me and Demarcus." Samuel said.

They were also best friends, and that pick lead us down to 2 rooms, 4 beds, and 7 people. The remaining was the gang.

"I guess it can be Me, Maya, Jade, and Smackle and then Lucas, Farkle, and Zay in one room." Riley said.

"Then I guess it's settled. Go pick a room.

Everyone went to go find a room. The girls picked their rooms and set their things down, and everyone else also did the same. Maya, and Riley were happy to share a room with their friends, little did they know Jade just wanted to share a room with Zay and Smackle just wanted to share a room with Farkle. Smackle still felt as if Riley hated her for being close with Farkle so she was uncomfortable around her sometimes. Riley and Maya noticed their sadness but thought it was best to just let them be, and not ask about it.

"So umm you guys excited for the texas beach?" Maya asked.

Jade didn't say anything.
"Will Farkle- the boys be there?" Smackle corrected herself.

"Yeah Farkle and the boys will be there Smackle." Maya laughed.

"Why are you guys so focused about the boys? I think you should enjoy yourself." Riley told them.

"Yeah I mean this is probably the longest I've been without Josh but I'm not going to sit around and be sad all day." Maya said.

"Yeah I know, it's just me and Farkle just-" Smackle stopped herself.

"Just what?" Riley asked.

She looked up at Riley then looked away, "Nothing."

"What's wrong?" Riley wondered. She knew Smackle didn't like to tell her anything since of everything that has happened with the whole break up but she still didn't want her to feel unwanted or uncomfortable in this room.

"Nothing. I just don't want to say something that will get you jealous and then have your jealousy ruin the day." Smackle said.

"Um I won't get jealous, and my jealousy doesn't ruin the day." Riley scoffed.

"You ruined Christmas, and New Years."

Riley let out an angry laugh, "You're hilarious Smackle. I RUINED CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS?"

"Yes." She said.

"Riley didn't ruin anything. Her boyfriend was treating her wrong by giving you something she wanted." Maya stood up for Riley.

"You really upset Farkle and ruined his day."

Maya and Riley both looked at each other and shook their heads, "If anything he ruined my day." Riley said.

"Guys nevermind please forget I said anything." She said that, sat her things down and walked out of the room.

"This field trip sucks guys." Jade finally spoke.

Riley and Maya sighed at the both of them. They could never have a good day without drama or someone complaining. Why was their lives so difficult.

"Let's just go explore this place and wait for the activity please." Maya said putting down her stuff and walking out of the room with them. They went downstairs to find the boys sitting on the coach talking and Smackle already by Farkle.

"Hey Babe." Josh came up to kiss Maya.

"Hey Sexy." Maya kissed back.

Pain came across Rachel's face when she came down the stairs and Zay didn't say anything to her.

"Hey Riles." Lucas smiled at her.

"Hey!" She greeted back.

She looked around as all the seats were taken, "Can someone scoot over?" She asked.

"We scoot over for Maya. There's literally no more room." Joshua said.

"Well where am I supposed to sit."

"Lucas, can Riley sit on your lap?" Maya asked Lucas trying to get her best friend and him together.

Riley nervously glared at Maya with a "what the hell" look.

"Yeah I mean you have nowhere else to sit so you might as well sit on his lap." Josh also pushing them.

"Oh and Lucas you would never want your "princess" sitting on the floor right?" Zay also added on.

"Yeah that's true." He smiled and put his hand out to hers. She walked over to him, took his hand and sat on his lap. He put his hands around her waist and put a big smile on his face.

"You don't have to sit up on my lap. Get comfy, you can lay back."

She nodded as she laid her back on his chest. She was going to admit she was very comfortable in this position.

"Aww that's cute." Maya teased them.

Riley playfull rolled her eyes. The gang sat down and watched TV until it was time to go to the beach. The gang was excited the first activity was going to the beach. They wanted to relax first and not do all of the work and horseback riding today. The girls were in their room putting on their swimsuits and so were the boys in their room.

"I bought a one piece with me. I hate showing too much skin." Smackle told them.

"So do I….but I thought I should wear something a little more appealing for this trip. So I brought this kinda sexy yellow bikini with me." Riley blushed.

"Trying to impress Lucas I see." Maya smirked.

"What? No!" Riley lied.

"Let me see what you workin with girl." Maya cheered her on.

Riley laughed and pulled out the yellow bikini then slipped it on.

"How do I look?" She asked walking in the mirror.

"You look really hot Riley."

"Yeah I bet Lucas would love that."

Riley rolled her eyes as she became embarrassed about the fact they were making this all about Lucas.

"Let's just go." Riley said slipping her clothes over her bikini then walking out with her friends.

Everyone else including the boys were already on the bus waiting for them. They got on the bus and Riley and Maya sat together and Smackle and Jade sat together. The bus ride to the beach was kind of silent for the girls, but everyone else was being wild. Jade and Smackle were still upset, and Riley was starting to get a little nervous about Lucas seeing her in the bikini. Sometimes she had insecurity problems. When they got there they all grabbed beach balls and ran out onto the beach.

"Lucas is about to take off his shirt." Maya smirked at Riley.

"So? I've seen Lucas with this shirt off."

"Not as many times as you want."

"How about you leave me alone and go mess with Josh's body or something." Riley crossed her arms.

"Don't mind if I do." Maya smiled while walking over to Josh.

Riley looked around until her eyes spotted on Lucas with his shirt off. He was playing volleyball with Zay. She looked at his buff arms and chest, and she admired his 6 pack.

Riley had to admit. Lucas Friar was hot as hell. It was kind of a big change from dating Farkle. Farkle didn't have a body like Lucas's so she wasn't used to it, but she liked it. She slide off her overshirt to reveal the bikini she was wearing and she decided to be bold and walk over there.

"Hi."

"H-h-hey." Lucas stuterred as he looked at her bikini and her body.

Riley blushed, and did a little spin, "You like what you see?" She teased him.

"Yeah I really do." He said looking her body up and down.

He tried to reach out to grab her waist.

"Hey, Hey, Hey. You can look but you can touch."

"Will I be able to touch that someone day?" He bit his lip, looking her up and down again.

"We'll see." She winked back at him. Riley wasn't this type of person. She never really teased boys or flirt with them but Lucas made her feel a different type of way. She was very comfortable around him, and she was bold, and she liked this feeling. It made her happy. Another thing was the thought of Farkle didn't even cross her mind. She practically forgot he was on this trip. Nothing could ruin her mood she thought.

Everyone was in a great mood actually except for one person. Lucas liked this new side to Riley. He was happy she was not moping over Farkle anymore. Maya was happy, she had Josh. Smackle and Farkle finally got the alone time they wanted by walking on the beach. And Zay and Josh were being wild playing all kinds of sports and having all kinds of fun. Except for one person...Jade. Zay made her happy and when she was not with Zay she was upset. Especially since Zay was acting kind of weird.

"Hey Guys! I met some new friends!" Maya called everyone over. Everyone gathered around to greet the new people until Zay and Lucas noticed 2 familier girls in that group. Their mouths dropped as they both looked at each other then back at the girls. The girls did the same when they saw them too.

"I didn't know you guys were still in Texas…" One of the girls said awkwardly.

"Guess its a small world…" Zay said back.
