"Hey Riles," Maya greeted, as they went on their way to Greenwich High.
"Hey Maya,"Riley said, very unenthusiastically.
"Ok spill it! What's up with you?"Maya asked bluntly.
"Oh it's nothing. I'm just kind of worried of what's going to happen after high school. You know with all of us going to different colleges and separating. I'm worried that we're not going to be best friends anymore."
"Oh Riles, you worried for nothing. You and I both know that you,me, Farkle and Lucas are going to be friends forever . So don't worry about something that's ridiculous, okay?
"Ok."
"Great. We're at school," Maya said disgruntled. Even after all these years she still does not enjoy school one bit. Riley on the other hand was excited about learning.
"Ladies," a voice greeted from behind them.
"Farkle," They both greeted.
"Hey,"
"Hey, Lucas," Riley said." Hi, Samantha."
"Howdy Huckleberry, Huckleberry's girlfriend."
"Maya, could you please stop calling us that?" Samantha asked, with a hint of annoyance.
"Hey babe, it's cool," Lucas said. "It's kind of our 'thing'."
"Your ' thing'?"
"Yeah..."
"You know what Lucas?" Maya said. " I'll stop. We are seniors going on into the world, and I think we should start acting like it.I'll lay off on all the nicknames. Sorry Sam."
"Don't call me that!" Samantha snapped." Just call me Samantha!" And with that she turned on her heel, walking to her next class, with Lucas apologizing for her behavior and following like a lost puppy.
"Can you believe her?" Maya yelled.
"Yeah, she needs to take a chill pill," Farkle agreed.
"You guys! Even if Lucas's girlfriend is a total jerk, we gotta put up with her for Lucas's sake. Ok?" Riley said.
"Okay," was their reply.
"Alright , well, we should be heading to class. Come on guys," Riley said. So they followed Samantha and Lucas to their first period, math with Mr. Dewars.
Wow, Riley thought. This is gonna be harder than I thought.
