The chapter got away from me but I wanted to focus on the day before the dinner.
Riley pov
Riley turn off the alarm!" Maya says shoving me and putting her hand in my face. I groan and push her but she kept her hand on my face. So I smiled and did what I used to when we were little and she shove me I licked her hand. "Ew! Riley that's disgusting!" She shouts at me.
I start laughing and turn off my alarm. "Well I thought you would have remembered what happens when you put your hand in my face peaches." I say tying up my hair. I look at her and see she went back to sleep. I smile and shake my head. I grab my phone and message MadDogg.

I put my phone down and look at Maya sleeping. I was getting up to lick her when Auggie walks in. I shush him and gesture for him to come here. "Hey Auggie how would you like to earn $10 right now?" He smiles and puts out his hand I hold in my giggles and hand it to him.
I tell him what to do and walk towards the bathroom. The last thing I hear before I turn on the water is Maya screaming and threatening to kill Auggie. I go back in the room and see Maya wiping her face. I start snickering and she glares at me. "Riley Matthews you are one disgusting girl!" I burst out laughing and tell her to hurry up.
I head downstairs and greet my family. "Morning family isn't it a lovely day today?" They all look at me weirdly. "Okay what did you break?" My dad says looking at the paper. "Nothing I'm just in a good mood." Auggie and Josh laugh "you're in a good mood? You know it's Monday right?" Josh says smirking.
"oh uncle Josh still.." I kick him in the shin "here I see." He grimaces and I smile at him. "Riley did you pay Auggie to lick Maya?" My mom asks placing the waffles on the table. I shake my head and say "nope." Maya comes down still rubbing her cheek and said "yes you did!" Auggie and I share and look and he says "I would have done it for free!"
Maya and I were sitting on the train when she nudges me. I ignore her and she does it harder. "Ow! Maya that.." she cut me off by putting her hand on my mouth and gestured towards the back of the train. I scan the back and my eyes widen. "Oh my god!" I whispers to Maya. She takes her phone out and snaps a pic. "Maya what are you doing?" I whisper yell at her.
She chuckles and says "having water ready to throw on the wicked witch." I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit as we make our way to school. It was around lunchtime and we still haven't seen Blair yet. "Peaches I don't think she came to school I haven't seen her." "Relax riles I know she'll at least show up to try and rub her relationship with ranger dick in your face. Maya says as we sit down to eat.
Lucas pov
"Dude what happened to you this morning I waited for you for like twenty minutes." Zay tells me grabbing the apple off my tray. I wasn't really listening to him my focus was across the cafeteria. "Luke are you listening to me?" He says flicking my cheek. "Damn Zay what?" I say angrily.
He chuckles and says "you know if you stare at her any longer you move in to creepy stalker guy territory." I punch him and say "I'm not staring I'm thinking." He mouths "right" and winks at me. "So what happened to you this morning?" I stop staring at Riley and say "I kinda fell back asleep and had the weirdest dream or memory I don't know it was weird."
"Well does it involve cotton candy face over there?" He ask looking their way. I look too and shrug my shoulders. "I don't know man." I say rubbing my neck. "Well describe this memory dream to me?" I look at Riley and then sigh "why not." Zay gets happy and claps his hands together.
"Well I'm in this room and I pull her in and we are standing there staring at each other and she tries to leave but I start kissing her neck..." "whoa dude." Zay says interrupting me. "This sounds like something a cold shower could fix." I look at him confused and he raises his eyebrows at me and grins.
I think about it and then throw my fries at him. "Dude! That is not what this is?" He starts laughing and says "well what is it then?" I scratch my head and say "I don't know. But I'm positive the girl is Riley she smelled just like her." Zay looks at me weird. "What?"
"Dude you have officially stopped in creepy stalker territory and took up residence. How do you know what she smells like?" I turn red and was about to respond when lunch was over and we head to class. During English I kept finding myself staring at Riley. I couldn't take my eyes off her I had to talk to her about my dream and see if it was real or not.
Riley pov
When Blair didn't show for English Maya wasn't to happy she wanted to put the photo online and tag Lucas and Blair but I told her no. Call it being raised right or something I don't know I just couldn't do that. But the events of what happened the rest of the day makes me wish I had.
"Today for your assignment you will be working in groups of four." My dad tells us. I smile and say "okay I know who I want." I say looking at Maya. My dad shakes his head and says "Riley sweetie pretty sure I'm the teacher here." Maya snorts making me laugh.
"alright now i know who I don't want in the group with you Riley." He says gesturing to Lucas who was currently staring at me. I turn to my dad and say "okay daddy I'm perfectly happy with that." My dad looks shocked and Lucas got confused at what I said. "Why?" He says crossing his arms.
I sigh and say "the one time I agree with you and you're questioning me?" My dad looks at me and then walks up and looks at Lucas. Everyone laughs while Lucas was the only one confused. If he didn't call me what he did I would have thought his confusion was adorable. My dad spends about five minutes looking between us and walks back to the front.
"Something happened didn't it?" I see Maya widen her eyes and I shakes my head. "Nothing happened sir." Lucas says. I cross my arms and scoffed. My dad looks at me and says "Riley." I sigh and without looking at him I say "I want my lawyer before I say anything." This earns laughs from everyone and my dad claps his hands together.
"Okay new groups! Maya Zay Riley and .." he looks at me and adds "Mr. Friar." I gasps and say "dad come on what happened to that overprotective dad that I secretly enjoyed watching make guys squirm?" He shakes his head and laughs "oh I'm still him I just know something happened."
I roll my eyes and say "I told you nothing did." He laughs and says "yeah I know the story." "So I guess we need to meet up to work on the project?" Lucas asks rubbing his neck. I roll my eyes and say "peaches I'll see you later." Just as I was walking away Lucas grabs my wrist. "If you want to keep that hand I suggest letting me go!" I spit out angrily.
His eyes widen and he looks shocked but let's go. "We need to talk about our project." He shouts as I walk down the halls. I turn around and gesture to Maya and Zay. "Huckleberry did you forget there are two other people in our group? Maya can tell me when you three figure it out." I smile and turn around.
Lucas pov
"What just happened?" I thought to myself. Maya starts laughing and says "we can meet at the bakery today." She kisses Zay and walks after Riley. Zay whistles and pats my back. "Dude what did you do? You pissed off cotton candy face and she is a hard person to make angry." I shake my head and say "I have no idea. But I don't think my dream was a dream."
"What do you mean?" He asks as we walk out of school. I rub my neck and say "Riley was at your party right?" He nods his head and I continue. "Well I think we hooked up at your house during your party?" He stops us and his eyes widens. "What?!" He starts laughing "oh this is going to be the best Riley and Lucas story ever!"
I punch him in the arm and tell him to be quiet. "Oh come on dude you two hooked up! I'm texting Maya!" "What did you say Zay?" Zay and I freeze and he mouths "sorry" to me. I just glare at him and turn around. "Hey babe!" I say cheerfully going to kiss her. She steps back and crosses her arms.
"Did you seriously hook up with that girl?" I didn't know what to say so I nod yes. She takes off and Zay whispers "oh shit." And we follow.
Riley pov
"Ugh! I cannot believe my dad is making me work on this project with him?!" I yell outside the bakery to Maya. She sits there and laughs at me. "What?" I glare at her. "Well he suspects something since you didn't want to work with him." I shake my head and sit at the table and groan.
"Hey kiddies!" Josh says walking out the bakery. "Hey there boing!" Maya tells him still laughing at me. I put my head on the table and groan again. "What's up with her? Boy trouble?" Josh says jokingly. I lift my head and glare at him. He takes a step back and says "okay I'm wearing shin guards so what do you guys want to order?"
Maya orders smoothies for everyone and josh walks back in. Seconds later someone yells my name. "Riley!" I look up and Blair is glaring at me. She walks down and comes up to me and slaps me. "What the hell?!" I yell at her. "Oh don't act like you didn't do anything wrong." I lunge for her but Maya stops me. "Blair if I were you I would walk away right now."
Blair stands there with her arms crossed and then we see Lucas and Zay running down and Lucas saying "nothing happened." Over and over. "Oh nothing happened so you didn't hook up with this slut at the party?" She says gesturing to me. Maya gasps and moves out my way. I tap blair on the shoulder and slap her then punch her right in the face.
"Riley what the hell?!" Lucas yells at me I glare at him and say "shut up! It's bad enough hearing you call me that but I will not let your bitch of a girlfriend call me it too!" Lucas looks shocked and so does Zay. I regretted saying it because at that moment Josh was walking out with our smoothies. "What the hell did you call my niece?" He said walking towards Lucas. Lucas tried to back up but josh tossed the smoothies and punched him in the face a couple of times.
"So who would like to talk first hmm?" My dad said angrily tapping his foot. Josh Maya and me were currently sitting in our living room with Maya and I covered in the smoothies josh threw. "Nobody wants to talk huh? Okay Riley phone now!" He yells holding out his hand. "Come on dad nothing got broken. Just a few punches were thrown." I say nonchalantly handing it to him.
He paces in front of us and says "okay well then tell me why the punches were thrown and you can have this back." I bite my lip and say "I want my lawyer." Maya and Josh snicker making dad glare at them. "Well let's talk then Riley." My mom says walking in the door. We go upstairs and sit at my bay window and I ask her "as my lawyer everything I say is between us right?" She smiles and says "yes unless you killed someone." I bite my cheek and proceeded to tell her everything that happened since Lucas arrived.
"wow! That is a lot of information. Well I shouldn't say this but that Blair girl deserved to get punched but next time not at the bakery." I smile and jokingly say "okay just at school then?" She shakes her head. "So you won't tell dad?" I ask. She says no.
I hug her and say "so can you get dad to let me have my phone back?" She smiles and says "tomorrow after dinner with Auggie's new wife's family." I look at her confused and she smiles saying "trust me."
Next up the family dinner followed by the big reveal!
