The next day at school
Riley is alone at her locker when Farkle approaches her
"Hey Riles"
Riley turns to her friend "Hey Farkle, so where's Smackle?" she teases her best friend
"She had a student council meeting" he shrugs
Riley nods "You must be proud of your girlfriend, being student council president"
"Very" Farkle gushes
Riley giggles at how cute Farkle was, she could tell he really loved Smackle
"Hey, so are you coming to the game Friday?" Farkle asks
"Uh I'm not sure"
"Come on it will be fun you can come with me and Smackle" he offers
"Maybe" Riley says
"Hey Riley"
Both turn to see Lucas approaching them
"Hey" Riley says
"Hi" Lucas says smiling at her
Frazzle looks between the two and then decides to leave them alone
"Okay well i'll catch up with later Riles, let me know what you decide about the game" he says
Riley nods as Farkle leaves.
"What's this about the game? are you coming?" Lucas asks kind of hopeful
"Not sure yet" Riley says
"Well i think you should come, you'll have fun plus your family will be there right, to see Josh" Lucas assumes
"Yeah" Riley nods
"Actually I also came to see if you wanted to come to the after party at my house, nothing big just some of the players and cheerleaders and some friends"
Riley smiles "um maybe"
Lucas smiles "well think about it"
"okay "
"okay" Lucas repeats
The bell rings
"Well i better get to class, Ill see you around" Lucas says
"See you" Riley replies as Lucas walks away
Riley tries to keep a straight face but she can't hide the smile thats forming on her face.
After school Josh Lucas and Zay are getting their things to go home
"Hey so you guys wanna hang out at my place?" Josh asks his friends
"Sure I'm in' Zay shrugs
"Me too" Lucas replies
Maya walks up to them
"Hey Josh"
"Hey" Josh smiles
"Can you give this to Riley i couldn't find her and I know she needs it for tomorrow" she says handing him a textbook
"Yeah sure no problem" Josh says as he accepts the textbook
"Thanks" Maya smiles
"Hey Maya, you ready to go" James comes up behind her
"Yeah lets go, bye Josh" she says as she and James walk away
"Bye" Josh replies as he watches them walk away
"You okay man?" Lucas asks
Josh looks back at his friends "Yeah, you guys ready?"
"Lets go" Zay says
They begin to head towards the exit
Riley enters the apartment with her mom to find the 3 guys seated on the couch
"Hey mom hey Riles" Josh calls out to them
"Hello boys" Toponga calls out to the boys
"Hey Mrs. Matthews" The guys reply
"Hey" Lucas says looking at Riley
"Hey" Riley repeats smiling at the blonde boy before leaving and heading to her room.
"Josh can you come help me with a couple boxes i have in the car?" Topanga asks
"Sure, be right back guys" Josh says before exiting with his mom leaving Lucas and Zay by themselves.
"Hey" Zay mimics Lucas
"Shut up" Lucas mumbles as he elbows Zay who is laughing
"Dude you got it bad" Zay chuckles
"I do not"
"I think she likes you too" Zay comments
"You think?" Lucas asks hopeful which makes Zay chuckles at his friend. He had never seen Lucas this way about any girl. He could tell that Lucas really liked her.
"So what are you going to do?" Zay asks
Lucas sighs "I don't know"
"Have you told Josh?" he asks
"No, you think he'll be mad?" Lucas asks
Zay shrugs "He'll probably freak for a bit but he'll gelt over it"
Lucas nods. At that moment Josh and Topanga reappear carrying boxes
"Just leave them here" Topanga instructs Josh
He does as told and goes back to his friends
"Hey so what are we talking about?"
"Nothing" Lucas says giving Zay a "keep quiet" stare
Meanwhile Maya and James enter his house
"Mom, Im home" James shouts
"In the kitchen" a voice shouts back
Maya follows James into the room
"Hey mom"
"Hi sweetie" she says
"This Maya my science partner" James introduces her
"Hello Maya nice to meet you" she says kindly
"You too" Maya says smiling
"Well James your friend is very pretty'
"Mother" James says and Maya giggles
"Thank you Mrs. Peters"
"Oh please call me Natalie" she says
"Okay well we'll be in my room' he says
Maya follows him upstairs and into his room
"Sorry about my mom she can be kind of embarrassing sometimes" he says
"I think she's nice" Maya says truthfully
Maya looks around the room, it was pretty big and had walls full of posters of different bands and even some sports team.
"So your a soccer fan?" Maya asks
"Yeah"
"Do you play?" she asks curiously
"Yeah since i was 8" he answers
"That's cool"
She continues looking around when she sees a guitar at the corner
"You play guitar too?" she asks as she walks over to pick it up
"Oh yeah. I havent played in years though" he says kind of embarrassed
"This is a great guitar" she admires it
"Thanks, do you play?" he asks
Maya nods "Yeah i just started a while ago so im not that good" she admits
"I doubt that, we should jam sometimes" he offers
Maya chuckles "Maybe"
"Well we should get started"
"So did you find out anything interesting?" Riley asks later that night when they were on the phone.
"He's a soccer player and he plays the guitar" Maya shrugs
"That's cool" Riley says impressed
"Yeah and his mom's really nice' Maya tells her
"Aww that's cute" Riley gushes
Maya rolls her eyes "Shut up"
Riley giggles
"So are you going to the game?" Maya asks
"I think so. Farkle invited me you coming?"
"Yeah if you go"
"Cool" she says and then pauses before she adds "And Lucas invited me to an after party at his house"
"aww" maya mimics
"Shut up"
"So are you going?"
"Im not sure"
"You know you wanna go" Maya tells her
"Yeah but it's just gonna be all those popular kids including Missy" she rolls her eyes as she mentions her name.
"So what, Lucas totally wants you there"
"Will you go with me?" Riley asks
"Of course"
"Okay then I guess i'm in"
"Good, well ill see you tomorrow at school" Maya tells her
"Okay see you peaches"
They hang up. She sends a text to Farkle letting him know she had decided to go to the game. He texts back almost immediately with an"awesome".
She decides to start her homework and then remembers Maya had told her she had given her book to Josh to give to her. So she gets up and heads out the room.
As soon as she walked out of the door she bumped into someone
"Oh hey" Lucas says
"Hey"
"I was just coming to say bye"
"Oh okay, I guess ill see you at school"
"Yeah, have you decided if your coming Friday?" he asks hoping she'll say she's going.
"Yes I will be there" she assures him
"That's great" he smiles brightly
Riley nods "yeah and I'm bringing Maya"
"That's cool"
"And probably Farkle and his girlfriend"
"That''s cool too" Lucas says less excited at the mention of Farkle but he reminds himself that he has a girlfriend.
"Hey Luke you ready?" Zay says walking up to him
"Yeah let's go" he turns back to Riley "Well see ya tomorrow"
"See ya" Riley repilies
"Bye" Lucas says
"Bye" she repeats
Zay rolls his eyes and pulls Lucas with him "Later Riley" Zay calls as they leave.
Riley waves goodbye to them as she giggles at the 2 friends.
