Lucas's pov:

Something is deeply wrong with me. Why do I feel the need to kill Noah and shelter Maya away from his gaze? I have riley and I am perfectly fine with her. I mean riley is my Topanga.

I picked riley for a very specific reason and I have to hold on to it. Riley is a ray of sunshine. She brightens my mood and helps me through hardships. My life with her will be a piece of cake. We will marry in collage like her parents then have two children a boy and girl, a girl that she will name Maya.

Maya, the blond beauty who is haunting not only my thoughts but also my eyes, she sitting right there in front of me while having our history lesson and our sittings have never changed. I don't seem to have the will to give this place up. Her golden locks today are tamed. They didn't fall on my desk because she made them fall on her right shoulder. I miss how distracted I used to get because of them. Sometimes when putting her right elbow on my desk her locks fell all over my desk, tempting me to pass my fingers through her silky strawberry scented hair. But now Maya might be avoiding me because of my treatment for Noah.

Noah I clear despise and loath him. He paved his way into my group way too fast and both girls adore him. I mean come on even Farkle and Zay approve of him and why? Because he bought a stupid sunflower to Maya and made her smile! What is so special about him? I am sure that I can make her smile and even giggle!

Zay even started a stupid new ship "Noya". How lame is that ship and why does Maya blushes around him? Did she fall out of my love and fell in love with another guy? Was she mistakenly in love with me? Why did this idea bring me such pain! I have riley so why should I care! Dammit Lucas! Just focus on Mr. Mathew's lesson!

As I tried to focus and hear what Mr. Mathews was rambling about the bell ranged announcing the end of this session. Riley looked at me and smiled but I was in no mood to return the gesture but riley being riley didn't notice a thing. She just stood and walked to Maya's table. They started talking about Noah the second we left the classroom and I saw a huge smile forming on Maya's face.

"His room is so artistic. He drew different doodles on one wall and stand together in total harmony" Maya informed with a dreamy gaze. The same gaze she used when talked about that one near kiss, Texas, the moon, the stars and the campfire but I guess that that memory faded. With such discovery I felt the same faint pain clutch my heart; the pain that came with Noah's existence in Maya's life.

"You visited his room already?" Zay asked astonished and I found myself eager to know the answer but why did I care so much?

"Yes, we kind of skipped the party yesterday. We spent the whole time in his room talking and drawing?" Maya said while blushing at the past memory. That is when my hands fisted. I was full of rage. Even if Maya is not my girlfriend, she has no right to go to a boy's room.

"You don't even know Lucas's room or mine but you already know Noah's. Things are moving way too fast with both of you" Zay teased and for some freaking reason he kept looking at me with mischievous smile drawn on his face.

"Don't blame her Zay! I mean he invited her to an elite only party. Then, he praised her works and announced himself as a fan. Adding to this that he is an artist himself a cute one if I may say" riley informed shyly

"He is more than that. I mean he is hot and an ultimate boing. But more importantly we share various common points. We are both artists and we both experienced loss. Yet Noah is stronger than me. I got a lot to learn from him and he promised to be there. Imagine a stranger knowing how to touch your heart and decode your personality with simple words. Noah did that. I feel like I knew him for years and I may also say that I saw his soul" Maya described while the smile on her face grew wider and at that moment my pain spread all over. Even if she loved me, she has never said that I decoded her or that she saw my soul. Why am I comparing myself to Noah? I chose to be just her friend. But now the distance is growing between us and I feel like a stranger.

"Wow Maya that's really deep" Farkle commented slyly

"Well Noah deserves every word" Maya said shyly

"Maybe one day will go on a double date" riley suggested in a singing manner

"Fingers crossed" Maya replied and at that specific moment my pain doubled and her words for a reason haunted me. She moved on Lucas! And you have a girlfriend who is right beside you. So why am I feeling this way? Why do I want to abduct Maya and keep her in my room where Noah won't reach her? WHY?

"Lucas you have been awfully silent. Are you okay?" Zay asked and I swear to god that his mischievous smile was getting wider. As if he knew that I was in pain…as if his eyes were reading my discomfort when Maya showed interest in another boy. I knew that he was the leader of lucaya ship and he told me that I will regret sinking it. But at the time I didn't believe him but now I guess this is just the start of my punishment…

Yet I was confused. Am I in pain because I lost a friend or a beloved?

And not to show this I just nodded and kept my gaze away from everyone praying that my puzzlement will end by lunch time.

Author's questions: Double date in the next chapter: yes or no?

Should Noah offer Maya some help to make Lucas jealous? Or really fall for her?
