I DO NOT own Girl Meets World.

First things first:

1.) It's been one hell of a long summer.

2.) Maya and Lucas talked all the time in the beginning of it.

3.) Something happened and Maya began to fade.

4.) Lucas was supposed to come back a week before school started but ended up staying and his first day back in New York was his first day of High School.

So it's been all Summer and Lucas and Maya haven't seen each other in person, not once. They talked all the time in the beginning of the summer; snap chat, texting, FaceTime… they did it all. This may have been the summer of Lucas and Maya beginning a new relationship, but it was also the summer of Maya and her newly founded sister to begin a first relationship.

There was one point during the summer where Maya just kind of dropped off the face of the earth. Lucas would text and call but he just fell into the void. He called Riley, but Maya was shutting her out too. No one knew what was happening with Maya.

So Maya met her twin this summer. They couldn't be any different from each other, yet they were almost the same person. Maya had Riley as a good influence, but Liz had no good influence. Her and Maya were one in the same for how rebel they were, except Maya had Riley to control her when she was going to full on.

Liz. That's her name. She is basically Maya's alter ego. She dressed edgy. Ripped shorts, rebel shirts, black leather jacket, long bright blonde golden hair, jet black makeup that made her piercing blue eyes pop, and a bit of a biker boot with chains on them. She was everything you would imagine seeing yourself as in another life.

Riley still didn't know about Liz, or at least Maya never said anything. Riley found out when Lucas called Riley asking why his messages were falling into a void with Maya. He didn't mean to tell Maya's business but he would've thought that Maya would've asked her to meet Liz with her… I mean it was a pretty big step in Maya's life finding out she had a sister, let alone a twin.

It was the first day of school and Lucas hadn't seen any of his friends. Maya hadn't responded to any of his messages in almost a month and he was just hoping to find her to make sure she was okayy.

Lucas was walking through the hall when he bumped into Zay. They said their hello's and how they missed each other (in dude ways) and proceeded to walk through the halls together. They ran into Farkle and Riley. They all caught up with each other for a brief moment. None of them had been able to reach Maya for that last month. Something was up…

As they were walking through the halls all of a sudden Zay stopped.

"Woah." he said completely shocked.

"What?" the group said to him as they looked at him.

He flicked his head motioning towards a girl standing next to a locker. The group turned.

"Is that?" Farkle said

"Maya?" Riley questioned.

They were all confused. They moved closer to see that she was talking to someone, they couldn't tell who. She had long blonde hair just like Maya's.

"Looks like we got ourselves an audience." Liza said to Maya with a smirk.

"Should we turn and draw them in?" Maya smiled.

"Hell yes. One of them is fucking hot." Liz emphasized.

Maya turned to stand next to Liz and draw in their "audience". Her smile instantly went from sexy to shocked.

"Maya?" the whole group said.

Maya was not like herself at all. She was wearing a white crop top that said "I Hate Monday's" and some bright red high wasted shorts with the biker boots Liz gave her as a present along with a black leather jacket. Her makeup was on full blast thanks to Liz and it definitely didn't go unnoticed.

"Wait? You know these people Lemon?" Liz said confused.

"Lemon?" Riley questioned.

Maya seemed a little embarrassed by that nickname.

"You gonna introduce me or what?" Liz said rebel like.

"Oh yea. Liz these are my friends. Riley, Farkle, Zay and Lucas. Guys, this is my twin Liz."

"Your twin?" Zay said shocked but he smiled at her in a "hey what's up pretty lady" way.

"Well aren't you just the little player." Liz joked. "And you." she said gesturing towards Lucas. "Aren't you just mighty fine to the eyes." she said in a flirty way.

"Liz!" Maya exclaimed.

"What?"

Maya looked at her like "quit it".

"Oooohhh. Is this the cowboy you told me about?" Liz said causing Maya to blush.

Lucas gave a small smile looking at Maya.

"Maya can I talk to you?" Riley interjected.

The two walked over to another part of the hall where the group couldn't hear them.

"I'm sorry I lost touch with you this summer Riles."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"About what?"

Riley made a giant gesture to Liz.

"Oh you mean about Liz? I didn't think it was that big of a deal." Maya lied.

"That big of a deal? Maya it's a huge deal! You have a twin sister that appeared out of thin air and you don't think that's a big deal?!"

"Riles would you calm down? It's not like I shot someone or anything."

"And what are you wearing?" Riley exclaimed.

"What? Does it look bad?" Maya said worrying looking down at he outfit.

"No but it's not you."

"What do you mean it's not me?"

"I mean you have always hated crop tops. You said they were for insecure girls who cry for attention. And aren't your shorts just a lot to short?" Riley was emphasizing.

"I don't think so." Maya said looking down.

"And your makeup! You hate makeup that is noticeable."

"Are you just gonna bash on my entire outfit?" Maya said getting annoyed.

"Maya you- you aren't dressed like you."

"And what's like me Riles?" Maya was pissed. "Cause if it's anything like what you're wearing then I'm glad I ain't dressed like that."

Riley gasped.

"Look Riles. Go find someone else to bash on because I like the way I look." Maya said walking back to Liz.

"Come on Liz. Let's go find our class." Maya said annoyed.

"But I was getting to know your friends here." she pretended to whine.

"Liz." Maya said giving her that look.

"Fine. I guess I'll see you later boys." Liz smiled at them.

"Maya!" Lucas said but she ignored him.

As Maya and Liz walked away some giant guy whistled at them causing them to give a flirty look and hair flip back.

"Who was that?" Zay exclaimed.

"I don't know, but it wasn't Maya." Riley said walking off to find her class.

Lucas was just looking in the direction Maya had walked off.

**Later in the school day.

High school was definitely different than middle school. Maya for one had completely changed who she was, the group only had one class all together and that was Matthews, and Maya had a new sister in her life that caused her to lose touch with her friends.

The bell rang to move from 4th to 6th period, the last class of the day. It was Matthews history class. The students filed in sporadically as to which Cory watched seeing old and new faces all around the room.

The class had started and everyone was there except for 2, Maya and Liz.

"Good afternoon class. I'm your teacher Mr. Matthews."

Cory went on to explain some basic class rules and cover the aspects of the class and the subjects they'd be learning about. He was in the middle of reading off a syllabus he handed out when Maya and Liz walked in.

"You're late Ms. Hart."

"Sorry Matthews. Had to use the bathroom."

"And who might you be?" he said to the other girl. He couldn't quite see her face.

"I'm Liz she said taking a step forward from behind Maya."

Cory's expression looked as if someone just dropped a bomb.

"Quit with the look Matthews. She's my long lost twin." Maya said snapping him out.

"Okayy, well take your seats ladies."

Cory looked at Riley and the others as Maya and Liz moved for their seats. Riley just gave him an "I don't know" look.

Maya sat behind Riley this year while Liz sat over in the front right corner.

Class ended and Maya and Liz bolted out the door.

"Finally! We get to leave this place!" Maya said all excited.

"Not so fast." Liz stopped her. "I have crap I need from my locker."

"Ugh. Fine but could you hurry." Maya said loosing her excitement.

"Yea yea. I'll meet you out front." Liz said waling away.

Maya started to make her way towards the front when she heard someone calling her name.

"Maya!" Lucas shouted.

"Huckleberry." she said turning around. "Long time no see."

"Yeah I'd say."

"How was your summer?" she asked.

"Dull compared to how yours seems." he said. "Did you not get any of my messages or phone calls?"

"Guess not." she said avoiding the question.

"Well I tried to call like a million times."

"Oh… So what do you think about Liz?"

"Maya."

"What?"

"What's up with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you've changed."

"How so?" she said messing with him.

"Maya."

She laughed. "Calm down Sundance. I'm just playing with you. Yea I changed… So what?"

"So why?" he asked.

"Do you not like it? You don't like me like this?"

"No it's not that. It's just that you're different."

"A good different?"

"I don't know yet." he said.

Silence.

"Okayy well as much fun as this is I have to meet Liz at the front of the school."

"I was hoping you and I could spend the day together, you know… reconnect."

"As much as I'd like that, I already told Liz that I'd hang with her."

Lucas looked hurt.

"Look Huckleberry, we can hang tomorrow… Okayy?" Maya said giving him a quick peck on the cheek before walking off.

**Tomorrow.

Lucas arrived at school to find Maya and Liz in the front of the school hanging with a group of people he'd never seen before. He was just standing there looking at them from afar when Riley walked up beside him.

"I think Maya's gone." she said.

"Why would you say that?"

"Look at her. She isn't herself."

"We don't know that Riles.. So she's dressing a little different, doesn't mean she herself has changed. He looked back at Maya. She was having a good ole time taking selfies with Liz.

"I don't know Lucas. The way she was acting yesterday has me wondering who she is now…"

"We haven't seen her all summer. What did you expect? The same old Maya who would behave?"

"Well yea… I thought she was turning over a new leaf." Riley said.

"A behaved Maya isn't the Maya we know Riley. Admit it." Lucas said looking at her.

"Oh yea. Would she do that?" Riley said pointing at Maya.

Lucas looked back to find Maya on another guys back with her head rested on his shoulder as Liz took their picture.

Lucas looked hurt. Maybe Maya wasn't Maya anymore.

"We should get to class." Riley said snapping him out of his trance.

The two walked into the school together.

Maya briefly noticed and wanted to go join them, but she knew that she couldn't; it wasn't her façade anymore.

**Later that day as school got out.

"So what are we doing today Lemon?" Liz asked Maya as they walked out of class.

"Sorry Boo. I promised Ranger Rick we'd catch up. I haven't seen him in 2 and a half months now."

"Oh come on. You don't want to start off high school attached already do you?"

"What do you mean?" Maya said confused.

"Lemon this is your fresh start. This is your chance to shake off your old middle school self and start brand new. No one knows you here."

Maya couldn't help but think about what Liz was saying.

"Listen, you go meet up with cowboy and text me when your finished." Liz said before walking away.

Maya could help but think about what Liz was trying to say to her. Was she right? Should Maya start over and be who she truly would've if Riley hadn't been there all those years?

"Hey!" Lucas came up behind Maya.

"Hey." she said back. "So what are we doing today?"

"Well I was thinking we could just go to Topanga's and catch up."

"Mmm, okayy." Maya said.

"Everything alright?"

"Yea, everything's great!" Maya said smiling at him. She really couldn't stop thinking about Liz and what she said.

Lucas held out his hand and Maya put hers in his. Just like they used to.

They walked hand in hand together all the way to Topanga's, but it was an awfully quiet walk.

"So how was your summer?" Lucas broke the silence.

"Eventful." Maya said.

"So you did decide to meet Liz I see."

"Yea. Well not really. She just kind of showed up at my house one day."

"Oh." Lucas said.

"Yea. I guess she really wanted to meet me."

"Well she's nice." Lucas said.

"Yea she's definitely something else." Maya laughed a little.

Awkward silence.

They got to Topanga's and ordered some smoothies and took a seat in their spot.

"So how was your summer?" Maya asked.

"Nothing special. My dad wasn't around to much, he was always working."

"So why'd he ask you to come stay with him then?"

"Not really sure actually." Lucas said pondering on that.

Awkward Silence.

"So." Lucas said.

"So." Maya said.

"Tell me about Liz…" Lucas said.

"Yea?"

"Yea. She seems pretty important to you now."

Maya smiled. "She is."

"At first I didn't really like her. Like I didn't hate her but I just thought she was real ballsy. She just showed up at my door dressed in this all black biker outfit and just shoved her way into my life. It was like I had no say. I mean I like her now obviously."

"So she's a little more wild than our group I can see."

"Yea. She said she never really had any solid friends like our group so she had decided to be a lone wolf who never gets attached to anything."

"And she's lived with Kermit all this time?"

"Actually no. She was in foster care until she got emancipated. Now she's here staying with me and mom."

"Oh how'd your mom react to Liz showing up?"

"She was more shocked than me! Like she had no idea that Kermit gave her up for adoption or anything. She's glad to have her back though."

"Well I think she's great. I mean I don't know her yet like you, but she looks like she kept you occupied this summer."

"Yea… It's kind of weird. Like I feel like I'm looking in a mirror! It's kind of actually really cool!" Maya exclaimed.

Lucas laughed.

"I rally missed you." he said grabbing her hand.

"I really missed you too." Maya said smiling at him. He smiled back.

Silence.

"Maya?"

"Yea?"

He was about to ask her about this morning and what he saw in front of the school, but he changed his mind. Maybe it was just nothing but a picture.

"Can I walk you home?"

"Of course Huckleberry!" She smiled.

Lucas walked Maya all the way home, well the part that was after the subway ride anyways.

"So what are you doing tomorrow?" Lucas asked stopping in front of Maya's building.

"Well… I think Liz wanted to do something after school, but I think I can push it to Friday?"

"No that's okayy. If you want to hang out with your sister I understand, after all you are still getting to know her."

"You should hang out with us…" Maya said in an instant. "Yea. I think you would really like her. I think you all would!"

"Okayy, when?"

"Let's plan for tomorrow. I can push our plans for another day and I'll get her to come to Topanga's tomorrow…"

"Okayy. What time?"

"Umm, lets say meet there at 3pm. That way she can do whatever she wants right after school."

"Okayy!"

BUZZ

Lucas's phone went off.

"It's my mom. She wants me home before dark."

"I guess you have to go then."

"I guess." Lucas said.

They just stood there hand in hand looking at each other.

"Maya I-."

"Shut up Huckleberry." She cut him off and pulled him in for a kiss. She's been waiting all summer to do that.

The kiss was passionate. Not like the one from graduation. This one was fierce and desired for.

The two broke apart resting their foreheads together and catching their breath. They couldn't help but smile.

"Wow." Lucas said.

Maya giggled. "I've been waiting all summer for that." She smiled.

Lucas smiled. "Did I mention that I really missed you?"

He gave her another small kiss.

"Okayy go before you get in trouble with your mom."

"I won't get in trouble. She loves you."

"Yea and I don't want her to hate me so don't be late." Maya pleaded.

"Okayy fine. But just one more kiss." Lucas said quickly pulling her in for another.

Maya giggled. "Okayy go now."

Lucas playfully pouted.

"GO." Maya laughed as she pushed him off towards the subway.

"Fine, but I'm gonna text you!"

Maya Laughed.

"Goodbye Huckleberry." She waved and went inside.

It was a good day… Maya had to admit it, but honestly she couldn't get Liz out of her head. Maybe she could get Liz to like her friends too. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
