Maya's pov:

Riley's endless questions didn't let me sleep last night. She wanted to know all; how did I meet Noah? Why did he invite me? What did we talk about? And the moment I said he invited me to his room, riley jumped of her bed and started yelling and singing "Maya and Noah under a tree…" which led to the awakening of all her family members and the outburst of Mr. Mathew about no one kissing no one and how me or riles will never sit under a tree with any boy. But Topanga saved the situation and calmed him down.

Now it was 7:30am and we needed to go to school but I was very tired. I honestly started to regret coming here directly after the party. I knew that riley would become hyper when I mention that I spent all the time with the same boy. But now I had to suffer from the outcome, exhaustion.

We were waiting for Lucas Zay and Farkle. They made us agree to walk together to school every day. And I used every second of this belated arrival to relax and collect more energy. But my rest wasn't that long as we heard the boys announce that they are here and that we needed to go down.

The walk was nothing but the usual; riley and Lucas walked a step away from us and Zay Farkle and I talked about the usual nonsense. But one thing was different and that was the amount of times I caught Lucas looking to his left studying me. I didn't know why but even if I caught him staring he won't avert his gaze away unless riley held his hand tighter or called his name.

We continued in the same routine; we reached the school ground said hello to some of our friends, caught up with them and then moved to our neighboring lockers. But when I opened mine the routine collapsed. I gasped as I found a sunflower. I delicately held it closer and felt all eyes on me.

"There is a note with it, Maya" Farkle pointed at the piece of paper that was glued to it.

"I was passing by a florist when this caught my eye. It reminded me of your golden locks little one. Have a great day and see you around" I read the note and riley responded to it with few jumps a squeal a happy cheer and then a hug.

"It must be from Noah" riley sang

"We don't know that" Lucas spitted the words out and seemed to be annoyed. Is he really that cold, cold to the point of not caring about my happiness or feelings? Am I nothing to him? Why does he hate me so much?

"Who is Noah?" Zay asked bringing my attention to him

"A friend" I said simply and then a blush crept to my cheeks as I felt two soft yet strong hands cover my eyes and I knew who it was because of his perfume scent.

"Noah" I said it confidently

"You are not playing this right little one! You are supposed to wait until I ask you to guess" he laughed then let go of me and that is when stuck my tongue out earning a small laugh from him.

He was wearing a gray shirt and it made his handsome perfect features pop. He looked amazing and his eyes sparked at me and I nearly forgot my friends but then someone or to be exact Lucas had to clear his throat.

"Sorry guys, this Noah king and Noah these are Zay, Farkle, Lucas and you already met riles" I said and he nodded saying hi to all of them

"So do you like the flower?" Noah asked cutely as he focused his gaze on me and I felt my cheeks becoming red as a tomato

"It is beautiful thank you" I replied turning y gaze from him to the flower and back at him and truly meaning each word

"You are more than welcome little one. So what about walking you to your classroom?" he then asked while winking at me and if I can go redder trust me I would have

"Noah, I did not know. We kind of have a group routine…" but I never got to finish that sentence because riley jumped in and told him that it is more than okay.

Yet as I said good bye to my group Lucas's gaze was dark and dangerous. It said anything but okay. It sent shivers down my spine as he looked at Noah with hate? This made me feel obliged to protect my new friend so I moved away with Noah without giving my group a second look.

"He wants to shoot me in the head" Noah said playfully

"I noticed his gaze too and I am sorry Noah. I will talk to him later on" I apologized for the stupid action of Lucas

"No need. Let him be. He might be jealous, you know?" Noah uttered and with that I started to laugh or giggle. Is this Noah's effect or the effect of the idea of Lucas being jealous over me?

"He might be jealous because of your good looks but not because of our friendship" I said as I collected my breaths

"So you think I am hotter?" Noah smirked while stopping in front of my classroom door and looked at me amusingly

"I never said so" I denied in a rush feeling my cheeks burn in embarrassment

"But you admitted that I look good" he winked at me playfully

"That's a general truth, boing" I answered carelessly

"What's a general truth, Maya?" Lucas questioned annoyingly as he and the rest of our group reached us

"Noah is good looking guy" I replied but my tone was low as if I feared Lucas's reaction but such strange tone didn't matter. I forgot everything as Noah laughed then kissed my already burning red cheek and promise to meet me at lunch.

However my moment of shock from Noah's second kiss didn't last because as he headed to his class, I regained consciousness again and felt the same shiver down my spine which is why I looked directly at Lucas to find him looking at the fading figure of Noah with fisted hands and a death glare.

I do really need to tell him to back off! He cannot treat Noah that way. Noah is one of the greatest people ever met and he deserves all our respect.

Wow! When did I become this protective of Noah? I just knew him and I am already planning a fight with Lucas for his sake! I guess Noah broke my walls and gained my friendship and respect. I can't wait to see him at lunch.

Author's question: should Noah ask Mayaon a date? and do you want lucas's pov of what is happening ?
