Maya's POV
I walked out of my room after five minutes of calming down by myself. I am a bit nervous about all of this. I have never walked or been alone with Lucas before.
"You ready Maya?" Lucas asked, standing up from the couch and walking towards me.
"Yeah, I'm ready. Bye mom. I'll be back before dinner," I said.
"I know you will," my mom said, giving me a kiss on the forehead. I walked out the door, and slightly closed the door. As we walk to the elevator together, my heart raced as we walked together.
"How is your summer Maya? I haven't really talked to you since the last day of school," Lucas asked me.
"Um I had a pretty great summer actually. I went to Hawaii along with Riley, but you probably knew that already," I said, twirling my hair and biting my bottom lip, "how was your summer then?"
"My summer was the usual. I went back to Texas to see my friends for a month or so and I came back to New York," Lucas said.
"Cool. How are your friends?" I asked.
"They are good. They changed so much since the last time I saw them, which was a long time ago," Lucas said.
"Well, people change," I said. I haven't even realized that we are standing in front of the entrance of Riley's apartment building. We came upon the intercom and I pressed the button. "Maya!" I said.
"And Lucas!" Lucas added.
"Come on up," Riley said through the intercom. We went up a flight of stairs and opened the door the her apartment.
"What are you guys doing here? I thought you went home," Riley said. She then walked to the bay window and we followed. We all took a seat at the bay window.
"Yeah, I did, but Lucas came to my house and we decided to come together," I said.
"How are you Riley?" Lucas said.
"I'm good," Riley said.
"Feeling better about your fight with Maya?" Lucas said.
"It was not a fight. Just a minor disagreement!" Riley said.
"Whatever you say," Lucas said.
"Do you guys want snacks?" Topanga came in the door without a knock.
"Sure," Riley said.
"Thanks," I said, "how do you guys feel about the first day at school?"
"I feel like high school is no different than middle school," Riley said.
"Yet. Big changes are going to happen, and nobody can predict it," Lucas said.
"Do you guys like any teachers so far? My favorite is your dad's history class," I said.
"Yeah, that is never going to change during our four years of high school, right?" Lucas said.
"Right. I m going to be your teacher for the rest of your lives," Cory said, picking up from the conversation as if he had been here the whole time.
"Thanks dad. Everyone enjoys your history class now. Even Maya," Riley said.
"Yeah. Thanks for everything," I said.
"Are things going to change?" Riley said.
"Some things, but some should always remain the same," Cory said.
"I don't like change," Riley said.
"None of us do," Lucas said.
