A.N.: Hey guys!
I'm back with a new chapter for you guys!
I don't know why I'm sharing this right now, but I had the feeling that someone needs to read it, so here it comes: I didn't tell anyone on here yet that I had to deal with this , but until 2 1\2 years ago I struggled with depressions, suicide thoughts and a mental disorder as well as with an eating disorder. For people who watch 13 reasons why I've been pretty much Hannah Baker for a long while except for the killing part and I myself overcame it with faith. I'm not telling you all to start believing in God right now, but what I want to tell you, if you are struggling with this right now is that you are not alone, you are loved and if you ever need someone to talk to, I am only a message away! :)

Previously...
Lucas took a deep breath, too not feeling so brave anymore the more time passed and asked one last time, ''What do you say? Maya Penelope Hart, would you like to go on a real date with me. No commitments, nothing. Just seeing if we work out?"
Maya looked at him and his questioning at the same time pleading look and then slowly nodded which made Lucas grin from ear to ear as she replied, "Okay, let's try this."
The next day before school
Maya and Riley were sitting on the bay window an hour before school started, not saying anything to each other at first. Maya was wearing a yellow loose dress along with black tights, brown boots, a black choker necklace, some make up and her hair went in waves down her back. Her black messenger back was laying besides her.
Riley was wearing a red blouse and blue jeans along with a white flower printed kimono, black boots, red lip gloss, some make up and her hair was in loose curls. Her white messenger back was laying besides her as well.
After both the girls had arrived at the Matthews apartment neither of them had talked about the events of yesterday yet. They didn't know what the other one was thinking or what exactly happened and both of them were not entirely sure, if they wanted to know. On the one hand they wanted to be happy for the other and on the other hand they were just really confused. At least Riley was right now. But they knew that this had to be talked about.
"So... How was your date with Farkle?" Maya asked curious what made the brunette look in disbelief at her first.
"It wasn't a date." Riley replied. "We just went to get some hot chocolate. Ice cream had been a stupid idea, since it is still freezing outside, but it was nice. I didn't think that I would enjoy it so much to spend time alone with Farkle. He is great." As soon as Riley finished she already had to think back to yesterday. Farkle and her had talked a lot, laughed a lot and had just a great time. He paid for all of her three hot chocolates and for a piece of cake. Farkle was a real gentleman. Lucas was, too but Farkle had something different for Riley that she couldn't describe quiet yet.
"If you say so." Maya stated sarcastically and rolled her eyes at her daydreaming best friend. The blonde could see that something was going on. She couldn't quiet put her finger on what yet, but she could see it clearly. But Farkle and Riley probably didn't exactly know either. "To me it seemed like you guys had a date." The blonde added and Riley shot her a look to which Maya just shrugged.
"Oh it does? And what about Lucas and you?" Riley now asked and Maya's mouth fell open. "Don't look at me like this. I saw you guys. Maya, you were the one who stopped him from turning into Texas Lucas. You are the one who keeps him on the ground and you guys couldn't keep your eyes off each other, it was like I wasn't even there and don't look at me like that. It's fine, it really is. I honestly don't know why, but it didn't hurt, but I want to know what's going on still."
The blonde swallowed at that and looked down. Riley deserved to know and she knew that, but simply the fact that she said that it wasn't really bothering her that something serious was going on was shocking to her. "It really didn't bother you?" Maya asked her quiet shocked and Riley nodded at her.
"It probably should, but it didn't. I just want to know. No secrets anymore, remember?" Riley replied and Maya slowly nodded at that while Riley put a hand on her leg, smiling up at her. "So... Tell me what Lucas finally did now."
Maya took another deep breath, but then let out a small smile. "Okay..." She said. "But please don't freak out."
"I won't. At least not in a bad way." Riley stated chuckling and Maya looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Maya stood up, fiddling with her thumbs and trying to just say it the right way, but there probably was only one way to say it and it was something that did actually make her happy even though she did not dare to admit it. Realizing that Riley was still waiting she quickly said, "He asked me out on a real date and I said yes." As soon as she said it she looked guilty at Riley who looked shocked, but then really happy back and clapped, jumping up.
"Yay!" The brunette exclaimed, really meaning it and hugging her best friend. "I am so happy for you, really." The blonde looked at her, but there was only honesty in Riley's look which made Maya smile, too even though she was quiet confused.
"You're really not mad? I thought that you still like Lucas. Riley, I felt so bad for saying yes-"
"And that's the point. You shouldn't feel bad for acting on your feelings, Maya. It's totally fine. I mean it. I don't know why, but it's fine and I don't know what I am supposed to feel, but there are no hard feelings for Lucas right now and I guess that is a good thing." Riley said in all honesty. She really did not know what she felt, but she knew that the more time she spend with-
"Does the falling out of love with Lucas have something to do with a certain Genius?" Maya asked her best friend grinning and Riley blushed deeply, but before she had to reply she luckily got saved by her mother.
"Girls, time for school!" Topanga cried from outside the door.
At school at the lockers
Lucas, Farkle and Zay were standing at their lockers, talking. Zay being overly excited, because his OTP was finally going on a date together and Farkle being quiet nervous, but wanting to know a specific thing from Lucas that would maybe help him to get less nervous or to know what to do. Love wasn't logical and he knew that.
"So, you chose Maya now?" Farkle asked for the at least 10th time in the whole talk that was mostly about Zay squealing like a girl about the fact that everything was so perfect now and now it could only get better and better and all that stuff that Lucas couldn't even talk anymore, but just stare at his two best friends while thinking about the fierce blond who actually agreed to go on a date with him. It still seemed surreal, but he was extremely happy. He didn't know where this would end yet, but it felt right to have chosen Maya.
"Of course he chose Maya. Maya was the only right choice. His blonde beauty." Zay stated as if it was the mot obvious thing in the world to which not only Lucas had to roll his eyes, but Lucas had the feeling that the genius was asking this so many times out of a different reason.
"She's not my blonde beauty yet. I don't know how the date will go, but I will make sure that everything that I can make right I'll do right that everything we got to figure out are our feelings and how we can act with each other as more than just friends." Lucas explained to Zay and then he looked at Farkle and added, "But if you're asking so many times, because you want to ask Riley out on a date, the answer is still yes. I chose Maya and you should totally ask her out."
Farkle looked in disbelief at him to which Zay had to laugh and the genius quickly exclaimed, "That was not why I was asking. I didn't want to ask- I mean, why should she say yes anyway?" Zay and Lucas looked at each other and rolled their eyes over the words stumbling genius.
"Why shouldn't she? You're a great guy and you are obviously getting along really good." Zay stated, not quiet as excited as for Lucas, but still with a really excited undertone for Farkle. "Even though I'd be the only single then, but that's okay if my best friends are happy. I mean Lucas and Maya, they will sure be happy, Farkle you gotta do something if you want Riley to be yours. Ask her out or we'll do it for you."
Lucas had to laugh at the sudden mood swing of Zay, but before he could say anything he suddenly heard an all too familiar voice from behind, "What are you laughing at, Ranger Rick?" Lucas turned around, his breath hitched in his throat for a second at Maya's beauty, not really paying attention to the brunette besides her.
"He's laughing, because I am incredibly funny even when I don't try." Zay replied and Farkle shot him a look while the blonde girl now bit her lip, staring back at Lucas who was smiling at her. "Aaaaand again my OTP is just staring, not saying anything. I am wondering what they are thinking. Maybe about their upcoming date or about how good-"
"Zay!" Riley stopped him now which brought both Lucas and Maya out of their daze, blushing deeply. Riley rolled her eyes smiling at them while Maya quickly looked away.
"Hey Riley." Farkle greeted the brunette who smiled back at him what made both Maya and Lucas smirk now, looking at them. They were so oblivious to their feelings for each other and it was kind of funny, yet sad and yet a reflection of what Maya and Lucas had been until just yesterday. They really wanted to help them, but first they had to figure out their own date that was coming up which both were scared and at the same time excited about.
So Lucas looked back at the blonde beauty and smiled again which made her smile, too. "You want to go to class?" He asked her and the blonde girl almost had to laugh while punching the boy in the shoulder. He winced in pain, rubbing it and looked confused at her.
"I never want to go to class, Huckleberry, but thanks for the cheesy attempt. I have to go to my lockers first." She stated and suddenly started walking away which made Lucas look confused after her. She was a few steps away as she realized he wasn't following him. So she turned around, raised both eyebrows at him and then asked, "Are you coming or what?"
A.N.: I know this wasn't my best chapter and a filler, but it had to be. I still hope you enjoyed it though!
