I DO NOT own Girl Meets World!

First things first:

1.) I COULD RANT ALL DAY LONG ABOUT THE ORIGINAL EPISODE BUT THEN ID NEVER STOP. IF YOU THINK I DISLIKED RILEY BEFORE JUST KNOW NOW THAT I HATE HER.

2.) Katy Hart is out on a movie audition for the next 2 weeks.

3.) There is a small triangle introduced, but I am not going to act upon it for at least another 3-4 more chapters.

4.) Lucas changed Maya's name in his phone from "Other One" to "Blonde Beauty".

The next few days at school was hard. Maya still wasn't feeling all that great and the entire school knew about Riley paying Tyler to hook up with her, which didn't make Maya feel safe at all because guys would just think she could be bought. At least it was Friday.

Maya was dressed a little more covered up than usual today. She went with a pair of skin tight jeans with a lacy black top, a choker to match, and her long blonde curls falling perfectly below her shoulders. All she could wish for was to go unnoticed for one day.

As Maya was walking through the halls she felt like all eyes were on her. Normally she would love that, but not today. She couldn't find Liz or Missy before actually going into the school and Lucas had an early baseball practice so Maya was on her own. She felt a bit of relief as she came closer to her locker. All the graffiti had been scrubbed off and it looked just like everybody else's.

The bell rang. Maya knew she was going to be late for class because her locker "sticks" and isn't easy to open, but she couldn't go to class without her textbook.

The hallway was quickly cleared and Maya was left alone.

"Come on… Open!" she pleaded to her locker. It just wouldn't budge.

"Do you need some help?" a guy walking by stopped to ask.

"I would love some, but my locker is practically impossible to open."

"Here, let me try. What's your combo?"

"15-33-23" Maya gave him the combo.

"Wow. This is a difficult locker." the guy said fighting with it.

"Yea. I asked the office if it could be fixed but they denied it saying it was fine, I'd just have to get used to it."

BUZZ BUZZ

Ranger Rick: Ditching class I presume?

Blonde Beauty: Damn locker won't open.

Ranger Rick: Need a hero?

Blonde Beauty: Would love one, but someone is already helping me.

Ranger Rick: …

Blonde Beauty: Some new kid I presume. Never seen him before.

Ranger Rick: Ahh. Well text me if you need a hero :)

"I think I figured it out… I'll push up on this and You push that up and then pull to open."

"Okayy." Maya said putting her phone back into her pocket.

"On the count of three." The guys said. "1-2-3!"

BANG

The locker flew open and Maya elbowed the kid in the eye.

"OH MY GOSH!" Maya gasped covering her mouth. "Are you okay?!"

The guy was trying to laugh it off. "I'm good!"

"I'm so sorry!"

"Nah, It's cool!"

"Are you sure your okayy? I feel so bad now!"

The guy just laughed. "It's fine! We got your locker open."

"Are you sure you're okayy? I literally basically just punched you in the face!"

The guy smiled. "I'll be fine as long as it doesn't scar." he joked.

"What am I doing? I just punched you in the face and you don't even know my name. I'm Maya." she said holding her hand out.

"Joshua. But you can call me Josh if you prefer." he said grabbing.

"Well Joshua. Thank you for helping me with my locker. And sorry for punching you in the face!"

"Anytime." he smiled.

"Let me know if I can return the favor! I feel so bad!"

"Well actually you could… I just started here this morning and I have no clue where anything is."

"Ahh, I think I can help with that. Let me see your schedule."

Josh handed her his schedule.

"Alright, your first period is Mr. Greene. Luckily for you that is my first period too."

"Awesome." said Josh.

The Bell Rings.

"Well congrats Josh. You just skipped your first class here at Abigail Adams."

"Well I guess it was for a good cause to help you get your locker open."

Maya laughed.

"Your funny." she said.

"I try." he smiled.

"Well I can show you to your next class if you'd like?"

"That'd be great!" Josh exclaimed.

"Maya!"

She turned around to see Lucas heading straight for them.

"Cowboy!" she pecked him on the lips.

"What happened to not skipping class."

"I wasn't planning on it. My locker had other plans for me." Maya death glared at her locker. "Oh! This is Josh. Josh this is my bf Lucas."

"Nice to meet you." Lucas said shaking his hand.

"You too."

"So can I walk you to class?" Lucas asked Maya.

"Well actually I was going to show Josh here to his next class. He just started this morning."

"And you already got him skipping class too? Wow you're a bad influence!" Lucas joked.

Maya playfully gasped and hit him.

"Okayy okayy. Lunch then?"

"Absolutely!"

Lucas gave her another quick kiss and went on his way.

"Alright, this way to 2nd period."

Maya led Josh to his next class.

"Here we are!" Maya said stopping outside a classroom.

"Well thank you Maya."

"Anytime." she smiled. "Hey you need somewhere to sit at lunch so you don't look lost?"

"Yeah. That's be great!"

"Awesome. Just look for me and Lucas and you can sit with our group!"

The bell rang again.

"Well I better get to my class. Thanks again for helping me with my locker!" Maya said before walking away.

**Skip to lunch.

Lunch came and Lucas had called Josh over to the table.

"Hey Josh. Over here!"

"Hey, Lucas right?"

"Yeah. So let me introduce you. This is Zay, Missy, Billy, Leila, and Charlie. Guys, this is Josh. He's new."

"Sup Josh." Zay said. "How you like the school so far?"

"Well I mean I've only managed to make it to one out of the two classes so far."

"Skipping already I see." Billy chimed in. "You'll fit right in."

"Well that's partially my fault." Maya said walking up sitting next to Lucas. "He helped me get my demon locker open this morning and it took forever."

"Where's Liz?" Missy asked changing the subject.

'Mmm. Not sure." Maya said.

"So I was thinking since you ladies have the night off from dance that we all should go bowling…?" Lucas said changing the topic again.

"Oooo. That sounds fun!" Leila said. "I'm in."

"Me too." Zay said.

"Me three." Charlie and Billy said at the same time.

"What about you new guy?" Billy asked.

Sure, not like I had any other plans right?"

"Missy?" Lucas said to her.

"Why not." Missy said.

"I guess that just leaves you and Liz…"

"Stinky shoes, heavy balls, loud music… I'm in!" Maya smiled. "I'm sure Liz will want to come too."

"Well I mean you guys are inseparable so." Missy said.

Maya just laughed. "Where is Liz?" Maya asked aloud.

"She never takes this long…" Zay chimed in.

"I guess I'll go look for her." Maya said getting up.

"I'll come too!" Missy said following her.

"Liz is Maya's sister. Their practically connected at the hip." Lucas said filling Josh in.

"Oooh." Josh said.

"Liz!" Maya said behind her. "Where you been?"

"I was talking my way out of detention."

"What'd you do this time?" Missy joked.

"Oh you know. Just the usual." she said looking down at her outfit. "It's like the deans only notice that I'm not in dress code when you and I aren't walking together."

"Well if we had 4th period together it would never be a problem."

"I know. I'm still trying to get switched."

Maya just laughed.

(Some girl in the background) "Look at what she's wearing. I guess you cover up after you've become a slut." to girls just laughed.

Maya's smile faded.

"Don't listen to them. Their just ass holes who don't even know what happened." Missy said to Maya.

"Don't walk to close. You might catch aids." The two girls laughed again.

"HEY!" Liz stepped in now.

"You got something to say about my sister then you can say it to my face!" Liz exclaimed.

"Liz calm down. This is what they want." Missy said trying to calm Liz down.

"We just think your sister could keep her legs closed you know? Once she gives it up that easy all the guys expect the rest of us to as well."

Maya bolted out of the cafeteria as fast as she could without running. She didn't need the whole school seeing her cry… again.

"You better jump off your high horse real quick before I beat you down." Liz was getting angry.

"What am I saying? I bet this ones got aids too." one of the girls said.

"Oh no she did not!" Liz said getting angry.

"Liz don't do this." Missy said holding Liz's arm.

"What? Little miss perfect thinks she can beat me at a fight?" The girl joked.

"Oh hell no!" Liz exclaimed and then punched the girl straight in the face knocking her to the ground.

You could just hear the whole cafeteria gasp and run over.

Liz was on top of the girl literally pulling at her hair and scratching at her face.

"LIZ!" Missy yelled. "LIZ STOP IT!"

Just then Lucas and Zay ran over to try and break the two girls apart. Lucas grabbed Liz and some guy grabbed the other girl.

"Let go of me Lucas!" Liz yelled.

"What? Little miss slutty can't handle anymore?"

Liz was fighting so hard to get Lucas to loosen his grip. It wasn't working.

"Hey back off!" Lucas said to the girl.

"Don't talk to her like that!" The guy yelled. "She's an actual lady unlike your whore."

And that's where everything went downhill.

Lucas's face got instantly red with anger. We were about to meet Texas Lucas.

Lucas set Liz down and was getting ready to go at the other guy.

"Luke don't do this. You'll get expelled again." Zay stepped in front of him.

Lucas stopped but was still beyond pissed and ready to kill that guy.

"Just walk away Lucas." Zay said.

Lucas started to walk away, but not before the other guy let out another smirky comment.

"Mr. Perfect backing down already. You couldn't handle this anyway, not like your little girlfriend could."

Lucas had turned around and punched the guy to the ground so fast that you didn't even see it happen. After that Lucas left the cafeteria to let at least part of his reputation stay in tact.

"Where's Maya?" he asked Missy who was over by the entrance.

"I don't know. She ran out after that girl insulted her."

Lucas was so pissed.

He pulled out his phone and dialed Maya's number. She sent it straight to voicemail.

"Dammit." he said to himself. He texted her instantly.

Ranger Rick: Please tell me where you are. I need to see that your okayy.

Blonde Beauty: Wanna be alone.

He was so frustrated. Not at Maya but because of everything that happened this past week and just now.

Then it just hit him. Maya and him set up the 'Find Friends' on each of their phones so they could know where each other was at all times. It wasn't because they didn't trust one another, but because if they texted but got no reply they could just look and see if one was at practice or so.

"It says she's here at school…" he thought to himself.

Just then he got a notification saying that his truck had been unlocked. SHIT.

Lucas had an app that hooked up with his truck so he could see all activity with it that way if it got stolen or something he'd know right away. I mean they were in New York City so he didn't want to take any chances.

He immediately made his way out to the parking lot. His truck was still in the parking lot which means Maya didn't take off with it. Maybe it was an error?

He went out to his truck anyways to find Maya lying on the back seat crying her eyes out.

"Maya!" she ignored him. "Maya please unlock the door." he pleaded.

"Go away! I want to be alone."

"Maya please. We don't have to talk. Just unlock the door." he pleaded some more.

She just blatantly ignored his pleads.

Just then he remembered he had an emergency key stashed under the front bumper. He got it and unlocked the door.

He didn't climb in but he just grabbed her hand and kissed her head letting her know she was there.

She looked up to see him. She had mascara all around her eyes and down her face.

His heart broke.

"I need a hero."

She just broke into even more tears as she sat up and went to hug him. They were about the same height with him standing yet he was still a hair taller somehow.

They just stayed like that for a minute or too.

"Maya it's alright. Those girls are nothing." he tried to calm her.

She just broke more.

"Can we please just get out of here." she said into his shirt.

"Maya-"

"Please? I just want to leave." she cut him off extracting herself form the hug to look at him.

"My house?" he asked.

She just shook her head.

He kissed her forehead before letting go and closing the door to head for the drivers seat.

Maya just hid herself in the back seat the whole way home. Lucas had reached his hand back there and she just held it.

Her tears had calmed by the time they reached his house. They walked into his house together much surprised to find his mother sitting on the couch.

"Maya? Lucas?"

"Momma. What are you doing home? I thought you were gone until next week…"

"Yes well the trip was cut short due to Mr. Fleming's daughter falling ill."

"What are you two doing here? School isn't even out yet."

Maya just looked at Lucas with glossy eyes. She still had makeup smeared on her face.

"Maya honey what's wrong?" Lucas mother said getting up going over to them.

A stray tear fell onto her cheek as his mother pulled her into a hug.

Maya took a deep breath. "It's a long story." she said fighting back the tears.

Mrs. Friar looked at Lucas and he gave her "the glare".

"Oh honey, why don't you get cleaned up and I'll make some hot chocolate. I know your not big on tea."

"Thanks Mrs. Friar." Maya said sniffling.

She headed upstairs for Lucas's room.

Once Maya was out of earshot his mother didn't hesitate.

"What in the world happened to that poor little girl?!"

"Momma. You should sit down for this one."

The two took a seat and Lucas told his mother everything from when her and Riley started to drift apart, all the way up until just now at school.

"Oh that poor little girl." his mom expressed. "She doesn't deserve any of this for trying to be her own person."

"I know momma. I don't know what happened to make Riley so upset with her."

"I just can't believe Riley Matthews is the cause of all this. I never liked her you know."

"Momma keep your voice down. Maya could hear you."

"Oh right." his mom said lower. "You should go check on her. I'll get her drink started."

Lucas went upstairs to find Maya sitting lying on his bed. She wasn't full on crying but tears were dropping from her eyes.

He was so heart broken for her.

She didn't even look at him. She knew if she did she'd just start crying again. She just sat up and hugged him. She just wanted to feel safe.

"I love you." was all Lucas said. "I really mean it, and I am here for you Princess."

She just shook her head in his shoulder. She released the hug and closed her eyes so she didn't have to look into his eyes.

"Why me?" was all she said. "What did I do?"

"You didn't do anything." he said grabbing her face. "You didn't do anything." a small tear escaped from his eye. He was just so hurt seeing her hurt.

She opened her eyes and looked into his.

He wiped her tears and she wiped his single tear.

"I love you." he said again.

"I love you too." she put her forehead against his.

She took a deep breath and he just kissed her forehead.

"Momma is waiting for you downstairs."

Maya had never felt that before. The feeling that someone was waiting for her. Katy was never around for Maya to talk to. Not even when Liz showed up. Katy was more interested in Liz than making sure how Maya was coping with Liz just showing up and moving in in the blink of an eye.

Maya just shook her head and got up to go to Lucas's bathroom.

"God I look like a train wreck." she said looking in the mirror with tears in her eyes still.

Lucas came up and put his arms around her from behind and kissed her head. "You look beautiful."

She put her hand in his to return the compliment.

He then left her alone to let her clean up. He headed back down stairs.

"How is she?" his mom asked as he entered the kitchen.

He took a deep breath. "Heart broken."

His mom just shook her head.

Just then Maya entered the kitchen.

"Oh Maya honey come here." Elise said holding out her arms.

Maya did as she was told.

"I'm so sorry honey. Lucas told me what happened."

"It's not your fault." Maya said.

"I know but you don't deserve this." she said releasing the hug.

Maya gave her a small smile.

Elise and Maya talked for quite awhile while Maya slowly drank her hot chocolate. Lucas stayed quiet most of the time.

Maya never really had a mother daughter talk before so this was all new territory for her. Usually she would just take this whole mess and bury it in her dungeon of sadness.

"Thank you Mrs. Friar."

"Oh call me Elise dear."

Maya smiled. "Thank you Elise. I've never done this before. My mom usually isn't around. It's been me for just so long."

"Oh dear, you're welcome here anytime."

Maya smiled.

"Momma there's something we didn't tell you." Lucas said breaking the silence.

"Alright…"

"Maya's actually been staying here for almost the last week."

"What?"

"My mom is out of town and I didn't want to be home alone. I mean there's Liz but she just kind of does her own thing and has been staying at Missy's." Maya chimed in.

Elise took a deep breath. "Okayy, well have you at least been safe?"

The two looked at each other confused and then back to his mom.

"You know, used protection."

"Mom!" Lucas exclaimed.

"Oh no were not…" Maya said instantly.

"Oh good. Cause you're both two young no matter the age difference." Elise said.

Maya was completely embarrassed.

"Okayy, well on that note I am going to get dinner started." Elise said getting up and leaving the room.

Maya just laughed and put her head on Lucas's chest. "It's been a long day." she said.

"Agreed." Lucas said.

Maya looked up and smiled at him. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"I know you're not big on ditching school so thank you for getting me away from there."

"For you… I'd do anything. Even ditch school." he smiled.

She smiled back and leaned in for a kiss.

The kiss was so sweet. It wasn't to short or too long because Momma Friar walked in disrupting them.

"Would you children rather have corn or carrots?"

Maya dropped her head in embarrassment.

"Momma."

"Okayy fine, but no complaining later when you don't get what you want."

"Momma anything is fine."

"Okayy, I get the hint." she said holding her hands up as if she surrendered and left the room.

Maya just laughed.

"Can I just say how glad I am that it's Friday?" Maya smiled.

"Yes!" Lucas agreed.

The two just laughed together.

The three of them ate dinner and had a good time avoiding any of Maya's school issues.

After dinner Lucas and Maya did the dishes since Elise cooked.

The two just had a grand ole time in the kitchen whipping each other with towels and such.

At one point Lucas had and idea. He grabbed a hand full of bubbles and chased Maya around the kitchen.

"No!" she screamed.

He finally had caught her and had a good grasp on her.

"You wouldn't dare!" she said to him. He was playfully bringing the bubbles closer to her.

He soon got close enough for Maya to close her eyes and squint preparing for what could happen.

All he had done was barely touched her nose with them.

She opened her eyes and laughed at him. He pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

Elise just stood in the doorway and watched. She knew the two were in love.

She knew Lucas was in love when he brought Maya home in the 7th grade for their muffin project. It just took Maya a little longer to realize her feelings.

Elise couldn't help but smile at the two. She didn't interrupt them, she just let them be.

Eventually the dishes got done and Maya and Lucas headed upstairs for his room. They decided to watch a movie.

They argued over what to watch for a while, but agreed on transformers. Maya had had enough drama for one day and wanted something to distract her. She loved transformers too. I mean what is cooler than a car who turns into a full blown robot that protects you from anything and everything.

Maya just played with Lucas's hand during the movie. She liked to fit her hand perfectly into his because it just felt so amazing to know she had that someone who would be there for her. She hoped he couldn't see but she smiled every one in awhile at how girly she was acting, but she was truly happy.

At one point in the movie when things were real calm Maya just spit it out.

"I love you." she said.

Lucas smiled.

"I love you too." he said looking down at her.

Maya just felt so at home with him. She leaned up and kissed him.

Maya fell asleep in Lucas's arms. She wouldn't want it any other way.

A/N: OH MY LORD, don't even get me started on the real Girl Meets Triangle. I am going to post a rant Authors note later (it's 5:00am right now) because one I want to rant, and two I don't have to work so I am getting my hair done so i will have plenty of time.
