Lucas pov

"Zay is calling you! Zay is calling you! Zay is calling you!" I groan and search for my phone. "I'm gonna kill Zay for changing his ringtone." I pick up and growl. "Whoa! Morning sunshine!" Zay chuckles into my ear. "Zay why the hell are you calling so early?" He fake gasps and says "well grouchy pants did you forget we have early practice today?"

"Shit!" I yell and hang up on him. "Coach is going to kill me!" I think hurrying up and throwing on clothes. I snatch my phone and backpack and head out to the train. As I sit down I message PDS.

MadDogg-note to self never listen to your friend when she recommends a tv show for you to binge watch. Woke up late. Pretty sure my coach and or teammates are going to kill me.

MadDogg-the "friend" is you by the way. Lol happy Monday!

I put my phone away and run as soon as the train stops. I make it just in time for practice and the coach never noticed I wasn't there "dude you look like crap. What happened to you? Blair keep you up talking all night?" Zay says tossing the ball to me. I glare at him and say "no. I was watching a show and got carried away by it.

"what show?" He asks. "You know that show psych?" I asks. He laughs. "What?" He jogs up to me and says "did Riley recommend that show to you?" I look at him weirdly and say "no. Why would she?" "Well because she fell in love with it last year and she is obsessed with the guy because Gus loves Pluto like her."

I look at him and think "Riley couldn't be PDS could she?" I laugh and shake my head. "What's so funny?" Zay asks seeing me converse with myself. "Nothing man. Running on no sleep. Need caffeine." He pats my shoulder and laughs "let's go then." We get to the bakery and I check my phone.

PrincessDancingSunshine-c'mon son I said watch an episode don't blame me! Lol and seriously happy Monday?! I loathe Monday's! Why must they follow my favorite day. Whyyyyyy!

PrincessDancingSunshine-oh no! I've turned into my best friend either her or Garfield. Fingers cross it's Garfield. :)

PrincessDancingSunshine-just be glad I didn't say watch friends. Pretty sure you wouldn't have made it to practice for the whole week! :p

I laugh "that girl is extremely goofy." I think to myself. Zay turns around and sees me smiling. "Blair texting you dirty pics?" I look up at him. "What?!" He laughs. "Dude where are you right now?" I punch him and say "funny Isaiah!" He rubs his arm and we sit outside. "So really how are things with her?"

i sip my coffee and say "they're good. Can't complain." He just looks at me. "What z?" He shrugs and says "nothing man." I raise my eyebrow at him and he sits up. "Okay fine. Truth?" I nod my head. "Well why are you with her? She doesn't really seem like your type. I mean if you were that angry kid then yes but the new you, doesn't seem like he would be into her."

I cross my arms and stare at him. "Zay seriously? I like her okay. Maybe she seems ditzy and conceited but when I'm with her I'm just Lucas the football player not angry Texas Lucas everyone wants me to be. Even you wanted that too admit it?" He looks at me with wide eyes and says "I haven't wanted that guy in a long time. Plus you started changing from being him around 6th grade. Even when I left I thought you turn back to him but you didn't. Why is that?"

I knew the answer but it was one of our rules we established when we kept our friendship going. The mystery that is PDS is the reason I've kept sane and I didn't want to screw that up with telling big mouth Babineaux. "I just did okay." He nods and we get up to leave back to school. "Hey Lucas did you ever think maybe you would find a girl that is just happy with plain old Lucas? No other titles to his name?" I put my arm around him and say "well are you asking me out?"

He looks at me and says "sorry I prefer blonds with blue eyes."

Riley pov

I loath Monday! It's official im going to find someone to petition to get rid of this awful day. I text Maya to see if she was still in the art room.

Honey-peaches you still working?

Peaches-no finished and cleaning up. Want to go get coffees before it's to late?

Honey-yes please! Don't think I'll survive today.

Peaches-the Monday blues get cha?

Honey-always! Gotta head to my locker. Meet you outside?

Peaches-okay. Luv ya

Honey-luv ya too

I put my phone away and head to my locker. But I see something I didn't want to. Blair bitch and Lucas leaning on my locker. I see that Blair spots me and chooses this moment to make out with Lucas on my locker. "I really really hate Monday!" I say through gritted teeth walking up to them.

"Ahem!" I say. Nothing. "Ahem!" I say louder, I knew Blair heard but she was being a bitch. "If I just push them how much trouble would I get into? Should ask dad." I feel myself getting angry and balling up my fist so I do what I have to. I hip check them. They both move and Blair almost falls but Lucas grabs her. "Riley was that really necessary?!" Lucas says to me.

"yes it was! Maybe you two should play tonsil hockey on someone else's locker." I say angrily opening mine. "Oh is this your locker?" Blair says smirking at me then faking shock when Lucas smiles at her. "Unbelievable!" I mutter under my breath and ball up my fist. Lucas sees this and looks at me and shakes his head.

I roll my eyes and slam my locker. I faintly hear him ask what was that and her saying something about me being jealous. I was so pissed I message MadDogg.

PrincessDancingSunshine-tell me something good? I'm in desperate need.

I hope he respond quickly I was really in desperate need. I didn't want to go back there and punch Blair in her fake white teeth. I hear my phone go off and hope it's MadDogg but it was Maya.

Peaches-riles where are you? I thought we were getting coffee?

"Crap! Forgot about that." I say out loud.

Honey-sorry Monday is hitting me real hard and I'm tempted to hit back

Peaches-well should we discuss kicking Monday ass over coffees? ;)

Honey-yes :)

Peaches-Monday is code for Blair right?

Honey-;) :)

I smile and put my phone away. Talking to Maya helped but she just adds fuel to the fire. MadDogg was the only one that came could talk me off the ledge of insanity. I walk towards the front doors of the school when my phone goes off again. "Maya I'm right here." I say reaching for it. It wasn't Maya.

MadDogg-What's something white that you put in your coffee? :)

I knew the answer but I wanted to see what he would say.

PrincessDancingSunshine-what do you put?

MadDogg-paper snow a ghost! ;)

PrincessDancingSunshine-lmao thanks MadDogg I needed that today.

MadDogg-your welcome. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

PrincessDancingSunshine-ooo quoting Kelly Clarkson? Girly! Lol :p

MadDogg-oh not nice. Tsk tsk Missy! Lol :•p

PrincessDancingSunshine-adios aloha au revoir

MadDogg-Sayonara

I start laughing "thanks MadDogg i need that." I say out loud. I go find Maya and we get coffees.

Blair and I were walking to lunch when I see Zay motioning for us to sit with them. I look at Blair and she smiles. "We don't have to if you don't want to." She kisses my cheek and say "it's okay he's your friend. I'm just worried about Riley. I heard her talking to Maya and saying she was going to try to steal you from me." I look at them and see Riley and Maya laughing.

I turn back to Blair and say "she won't. I'm with you not her." She smiles at me and we go to sit down with them. I see Riley and Maya talking and Maya look at me. I get a little mad and roll my eyes. "So huckleberry how's practice?" Maya ask smiling at me.

"it's good. I'm pretty sure Zay could have told you that." I say a little snarky to her. She mouths "wow" and turns to Zay. I look at Riley and she is looking down and shaking her head. "Something to say Riley?" I ask a little bit rudely. She looks up like I caught her off guard. "What?" She says looking at me angrily. Everyone at the table goes silent.

We sat there looking at each other until Blair says something. "Lukey it's okay." I see Riley scoff and roll her eyes. I glare at her and she gets up. "I don't have time for this." And walks away. I go after her. "What is your problem?" I shout at her walking towards her in the hall.

She stops and turns around. "Are you freaking kidding me?!" I walk up so we are close to each other. "What's your problem?" She says crossing her arms. "I'm not the one with one. Why are you always being rude to Blair? Is she right that you're jealous?" I tell her.

Her eyes go wide and I thought she look adorable. "What the hell are you thinking knock it off!" I think to myself. "I'm jealous! I'm jealous!" She shouts pushing me a little. I grab her hands. I don't know why call it heat of the moment but I fought the urge to kiss her.

She pushes me away and says "Get over yourself!" And walks away. "What the hell am I doing?" I say out loud.
