A/N: Thank you so much for the kind reviews and all the reads. I have never gotten so many notifications and I am so glad, please, keep them coming. You have no idea how much it means to me. I'd like to acknowledge everyone's reviews in the beginning of every chapter, but unfortunately, for the Guest's I will not. Please make sure to give yourself a username. It would help A LOT.
ANONYMOUS5GMW: You were the first reviewer, so thank you. And you weren't overthinking anything. Maya and Riley will have a complication with the whole seduction scheme and Maya will put Riley in her place, you'll see. But Rucas will be portrayed differently in this story, you'll just have to read and find out. =)
KillEmWithKindess02: Always means a lot coming from you. Thank you for the advice and for the ideas.
neniaelyne: There's nothing more for me than when somebody says that. And I just want to thank you for reading because I have put a lot of work in these chapters. I'm glad you're in love with my story.
naelacy: You'll be more intrigued later on. You just have to read more. Thank you.

Riley stood outside of Maya's home with her phone to her ear. She anxiously waited for someone in her family to pick up as she stared at the green grass.
"Honey," Topanga clarified as she answered.
"Hey, mom. How's everything going?"
"Great. You and Maya both have us worried, what happened?"
She sighed before answering. "Maya and her boyfriend broke up."
"Oh. The one she was always talking about? That poor child. Can I talk to her?"
"Actually, she doesn't want to talk to anyone. She's been crying for the past hour and I barely got her to stop." A wave of silence fell on the two before Riley said, "She wants me to stay the entire summer."
"What?"
"I know," she informed. "It sounds loony but I can't blame her. She's not the Maya I know right now."
"Honey, what about work?"
"Mom, i'm pretty sure you can give me a couple of days off."
"Who's going to help me out when Ben and Patricia can't?"
"That won't happen. I'll be home soon. And you always have Auggie."
"I don't know about this Riley. I mean you don't even have enough money-"
"I brought money. I'll be fine, Mom."
"Riley I have to talk to your dad - "
"Maya tried to kill herself," Riley informed impatiently, even though she lied merely to convince her mom in letting her stay. "I can't leave. Not now."
They talked for two minutes before Topanga came to an understanding. "Promise me you'll call me everyday."
"I will," Riley nodded.
"Take care sweetie."
"By mom..."
"Love you."

"What did she say?" Maya asked as Riley entered the house.
She nodded, "Ready to make a bad boy pay?"
They hugged for seconds before Maya broke down once again. "Thank you."
"For?"
"Staying," she answered. "You're the best friend anyone can possibly ask for and I don't deserve you."
Riley shook her head, "You of all people do."

Riley knew she was capable of reaching Lucas' radar. She had the looks and she had the body, but her choice in wear didn't exactly flatter that.
Riley had never put attention into her clothes. She preferred comfortable trousers rather than skinny jeans but she'd have to change if she wanted his attention.
While Riley and Maya briefly planned their way into Lucas' heart, they shopped for clothes at a nearby mall. Riley thought about it as retail therapy for Maya.
The two shopped and bought a whole bunch of clothes. Maya got a haircut because she wanted to look different and Riley didn't see anything wrong with that. She'd never been dumped because she'd never been in a relationship; and from the looks of it, she'd want to change too.
They stopped at the food court and ordered food from Subway. They sat on a two person table and enjoyed themselves.
"I need you to tell me everything about Lucas," Riley informed.
"Like?" Maya asked while she took a sip from her drink.
"What's there to know about him? Is there anything important? Any weaknesses? Is there something he's emotional too?"
Maya scoffed, "Nothing about him is important."
"What about his friends?"
"I don't know. He has four of them."
"Which one is the most attractive?"
"Lucas," she answered.
Riley rolled her eyes, "Who's second?"
"That'd be his friend Tyler."
"Show me a picture."
Maya took out her phone and clicked on the Instagram app. A few seconds followed before she faced the screen in Riley's direction.
Her mouth fell open, "Holy-!" covering her mouth, she looked around in embarrassment. Hoping nobody heard her.
Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink before she grabbed the phone from Maya's hand. "Oh my God. Look at his eyes," her eyes widened. "Look at his abs..."
Maya laughed.
Riley tapped out of the picture and looked at his most recent one. "He's throwing a party..."
Maya arched a brow, "He is?"
She handed her the phone, "Says everyone's invited. Should we go?"
"Are you crazy?"
"No. I'm smart. If we show up to that party i'll bet you anything Lucas will be there. That's mission 1. Remember?"
"Yeah, but don't you think we should plan more-?"
"What other possible opportunity is there to run into the guy during the summer?" Riley questioned, "It's now or never and I vote now."
Maya nodded while a smile crept from her lips, "Let's go break a bad boys heart."

It was now seven in the afternoon as Riley and Maya spend the past hour and a half getting ready.
Riley rocked a black lace crop top with black high waisted jeans. She had on simple brown eye-shadow with winged eyeliner and maroon red heels. For the first time she labeled herself as 'hot'.
As she stared in the mirror; she caught a hint of movement from the corner of her eyes. When she turned around Maya stood there all glamoured up. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail while her face was embellished in heavy makeup and her face warming bangs. She looked gorgeous, but completely unrecognizable.
The blonde modeled black slacks with a white blouse.
Upon eyeing her clothes, Riley's smile thinned, "No."
"Why?" she walked towards the mirror. "This is something Lucas had never seen me in."
"You look like a cop," Riley informed as she examined her choice of wear. "Might as well put on the badge."
Maya shook her head as she walked back towards her closet. She came out wearing skinny jeans and a back top.
Riley smiled, "I am surprisingly attracted to you right now."
"You can't tell me that when you're wearing those jeans," Maya joked. "That ass can't be tamed."
They both laughed as they walked out the room. "Remember what you gotta do..."
"Always..."

"This is his house?" Riley questioned once they approached it. She looked at Maya then back at the house. "Tyler lives here?"
She nodded. "Big isn't it? You should see Lucas's..."
The house was an Italian style stucco mansion with a stoned driveway and gated fence. The fence was open but it was still nicely built.
"Tyler better not be a fuck-"
"He's not. He's just..."
"Stuck up?"
"No."
"Overly confident?"
She shook her head no. "He's too good to be true."
Riley furrowed her eyebrows but Maya walked along.
They entered the immaculately decorated mansion and walked towards the backyard. Along the way hordes of underage minors held red cups as they sexually grinded on one other. Riley's hair cascaded down her shoulders in flawless unbraided waves capturing the attention of many guys along the way.
They stood under a contemporary trellis and observed their surroundings.
"There he is," Maya advised.
Once Riley turned around her eyes widened, "That's Lucas?"
Maya swallowed the lump in her throat, "That's him."
Riley stared at him, but then quickly turned to Maya. "How do I make him notice me?"
The blonde smirked.
"What?"
"I know how."
"How?"
"You sing."
Riley shook her head, "I am not going to sing for him."
"Then don't. Sing for someone else."
"I'm not singing."
"Why not? Don't forget you entered a singing competition and won second place. Get your ass on that stage."
"I was twelve-" She looked at Maya and Riley was at a point where she was going to say no but she saw the way Maya stared at her, she sighed and took a deep breath. "Just this one time."
