Riley walked in her front door, sighing happily.

"Riley?" Her dad's calming voice said. She looked up, her face frowning, preparing for the worst. She didn't even bothered to apologize because she knew she was going to get an earful.

"I'm not mad," Cory started.

"You're not?" Riley looked up, hope filling her in.

Her dad lead her to the couch, "I'll leave you two alone to talk," Topanga said, leaving to tuck Auggie in.

Cory nodded, "I knew this was going to happen someday. I didn't know it was going to be sooner than I thought. But just so you know, I'm not mad at you. I can never get mad at you. I only get protective. I hope you understand why I get like this. You and Lucas have my blessing, Riley. But I will be looking closely. He touches a hair, he's dead," Cory said with all seriousness.

Riley was filled with joy, "Oh, dad," she said hugging him sideways.

"No funny business though," Cory said with his pointer finger up.

Riley just giggled, "Night dad, thank you," she said gratefully, giving him one last hug before standing up, skipping to her room with happiness.

"Good night, baby girl," Cory replied.

Riley couldn't wait to tell Maya, who was probably waiting at the window right now.

Riley burst inside her bedroom door, "Maya!" she said happily, sitting next to her.

But when she looked at Maya she wasn't happy at all, she was upset. "How could you?!" Maya said angrily between gritted teeth.

Riley was confused, she thought Maya would be happy for her, "What? What's wrong?"

"Can't you see it?!" Maya said again between gritted teeth, her eyes blurring.

"See what?" Riley asked softly, she felt guilty for making her upset, even though she doesn't even know what she did. She also felt scared. Maya looked scary.

"I like him too, Riley!" Maya yelled, standing up. Riley was shocked.

"What are you talking about?" Riley said, also standing up.

"Ugh! I like Lucas!"

"W-what? But Maya, you hate him!"

"You know how they say if they're mean to you it means they like you?! Well, its true! I asked him out first but he said no! He likes you! And I don't like that one bit!"

"What do you want me to do?! Break up with him?!" Riley yelled, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"How come you didn't even tell me you were together?! I thought I was your best friend!"

"Yeah, well, I thought you were my best friend!"

"Hey! Hey! What's with all of the yelling?" Cory said, he walked in the room concerned.

"What's happening?" Topanga said, also concerned.

Maya brushed past them, leaving Riley with tear stains on her cheeks with her parents.

"Honey-" Topanga started but was cut off by Riley.

"Just leave me alone!"

A few hours passed and it was the middle of the night and Riley couldn't go to sleep. She was thinking about what would happen that day. Should she break up with Lucas so Maya and her can stay friends? Or should she stay with Lucas and see if Maya will forgive her and accept the truth?

There was a loud squeaking sound that startled her. It was her window and someone was entering. She saw blonde hair glistened, she calmed down for a bit.

Riley sat up her bed and Maya sat on the window, both looking at their feet.

"I'm sorry," A soft hoarse voice said.

Riley looked up, "I'm sorry too," she said, hugging her best friend, "I should've seen it. I'm supposed to be your best friend,"

"No, Riles, it's fine it was- it's my fault-"

"No. If you don't want Lucas and I together then so be it. But that doesn't mean you can have him. None of us will date him then," Riley said with a joke.

Maya chuckled lightly, "It's fine. I'm fine."

Riley was happy again. She told Maya about the kiss, how they got together and Maya just played along and gushed with her.

"Riley?"

"Yeah?

"Please, don't tell anyone," Maya asked.

Riley knew exactly what it was.

"Of course,"

They ended their conversation with a hug.

That morning, everyone was quiet at the table. Riley explained that it was just a misunderstanding and everyone believed her because when the clock stroke at 7 o'clock, Maya and Riley did their usual morning routine.

"Okay class, I'm am now going to hand out a small activity that will cost you a quarter of your grade for this semester," Mr. Matthews said giving the sheets out and when he got to the back, Riley and Lucas shared a flirtatious smile.

"It will be done in pairs," Mr. Matthews stated.

Riley took Maya's hand and Lucas shared a knowing look to his teammate, Billy Ross.

Cory Matthews chuckled, "Not so fast, I already picked your partners for you,"

He said a couple of names and then he said, "Riley and Billy,"

Billy gave Riley a smile and Riley smile back, shrugging. She didn't mind Billy, at least not anymore.

Cory read more pair and then, "Lucas and Maya,"

Maya looked too happy for her own good, covering it by pretending to insult Lucas and Lucas just tipped his "imaginary" cowboy hat and said something with the word "ma'am" in it.

Not that Riley didn't trust Maya, it's just its a bit different now that she knows that Maya likes Lucas too.

"You ok," Lucas said gently, touching her arm. Riley fake a smile and said, "tummy ache," covering it with a lie.

That was so not a lie. Her tummy was hurting. The way when you get really nervous and your stomach just… hurts.

Billy sat next to her, where Maya used to sit, then Billy was next to Lucas and then Maya who sat 2 seats across from her normal spot. They were instructed to sit with partners and Riley had the perfect view to watch them.

Maya looked like she was enjoying herself too much. No. She was enjoying herself a LOT.

That left Riley boiling inside.
