authors note: I'll get to Farkle, don't worry but this isn't his story :) also I hunk Riley might be with Billy, at least at first.. So don't get your hopes up.

Maya and Riley hadn't spoken since Monday, the day of the incident. The reason they hadn't made up so quickly was because in these situations Maya always went to Riley and apologized but now Maya wasn't apologizing for some thing she wasn't sorry for. That being said she wasn't publicly dating Lucas, she didn't want to hurt Riley worse then she already had.

Maya got along fine without Riley, she had plenty of other friends between the art geeks, the detention group, and so on. Class was just as breezy and quick. Her other friends didn't replace Riley though, she still got sad and missed her best friend but she wanted to see what her friendship meant to Riley, and if Riley would come to her as she many times before went to Riley.

For Riley however things were very different, and that was a huge under statement. Riley's shy and awkward personality prevented her from making many new friends and when she did her quirkiness often drove them away, so ever since her break up with Lucas when she had lost him and Farkle Maya was her only friend, she just didn't realize it.

The days in class were slow for the brunette but it was of no major concern because she was so sure Maya would be come back begging for forgiveness on her knees. And after months of making her feel bad Riley would finally genuinely get over it. It had not come to her mind that Maya wouldn't apologize this time, she just thought it was taking her longer then usual.

The tension between the two girls had mostly gone unnoticed because there really was none, they didn't talk or interact at all. If anything that was the give away! They normally shared a brain! Talked every second of every day! They were the best friends in the world, or so they thought. Maybe their universe was puny.

When Maya passed a note to a person sitting by her she whispered "pass it to Lucas for me, okay?" She never imagined it would go completely off track and end up in Riley's hands! And boy did Riley's face fill with rage when she saw what it said "Hanging out again today after school? -Maya." The front was addressed to Lucas so she knew they were "on the go"

"Miss?" Riley asked holding in her feelings of anger and betrayal. "May I be excused?" She bit her bottom lip out of nervousness well waiting for a response. Of course she was aloud to go, she was Riley Mathews.. She didn't cause trouble. And so when the teacher nodded she got out of the room as quickly and casually as she could.

When Maya and did meet up after school at Lucas's house they were relaxing in his room watching a movie Maya had put on from Netflix in silence. Finally about half way through the film Lucas looked over at Maya from the recliner chair he had in his room, Maya was laying on his bed. "So what are you gonna do about Riley?"

"I told you." Maya returned his glance "I'm waiting for her to apologize to me." She shrugged.

"I mean after today, doesn't that change anything?" He knew Maya was a better friend to Riley most of the time then Riley was to Maya and he normally would have been the last person on the "go to Riley" train, but he knew she was important to Maya so even if there was a little more take then give if might have been alright. Not great, but good.

"Look Lucas I know I wasn't being a good friend to Riley when I kissed you." Maya admitted "but I like you, and I don't want to apologize for being with you. When Riley decides she can handle it she will come to me, if she values our friendship as much as I do." She grabbed his hands and yanked him off the edge of the recliner onto the bed, at least she tried but he rolled off the edge grabbing her hands so she fell down with him.

"I think I just countered your move Hart." He grinned, his body was flat on the ground but he moved her head down with his hand so their lips met and they shared a long kiss. His thin and tall but muscular body and Maya's short and curvy body didn't match up. Her chest made her stomach lift off of his and she didn't meet up with his body again until the angle ended pressing her waist against his crotch in his loose gym shorts, it made him... Uncomfortable... And excited.
