What's up ,guys? So someone broke my creeper box head from Minecraft and I'm mad. They owe me $13.50 and I got that for my birthday…. God, I sound like a nerdy 6 year old. Whatever, I'll start the story now. Oh, and there's been some confusion with what the pairing will be for the story. Guys, it's definitely going to be Raya! I love Raya and there's barely any of it. Other than Gabe/Vanessa there are no other pairings. Sorry about the confusion. If anyone is confused about anything else, PM me or review and I will fix it.

WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM

Riley walked up the stairs and nearly opened the door before recalling that Maya had followed her. She turned to Maya who smiled a toothy grin.

"Maya, why'd you follow me?" Riley asked. "I don't know. I guess I was caught in the conversation." Maya said. "You should go. My parents don't really know you." Maya was disappointed but didn't want it to show. She adjusted her backpack's sturdy straps and walked away.

Riley felt her heartstrings pull at watching Maya walk away. Ugh, I don't feel bad, I can't feel bad! Maya looked back and walked away again.

Riley chose to open the door. "Better than staring at stupid Maya. No, wait, I didn't mean that!" Riley covered her mouth. "Hi, Riley." Topanga said. She didn't look very happy. "Hi?"

"Sit." Topanga pointed to the air. "Mom, there's nothing there." She said. "Yeah there is. My imaginary couch." Riley shrugged and sat on the dusty floor. Topanga sat next to her. "What is it?" Riley asked.

"I was sitting right here on my fancy clean couch when I got a phone call from the hospital about a girl your age." Riley paled. Maya.

"They said that a brunette about 5'1 "attacked" her and left her across the street from here." She raised a brow. "Wow… that really sucks for her. Just to be attacked and left in the street." Topanga scoffed and stood up.

"Riley, I know it was you. Just for lying to me, you're grounded." It was Riley's turn to stand up. "What?! Since when do you ground me?!" She exclaimed. "Since now. Riley, I have to pay a fine!" Riley kicked the "couch" and ran to her room. Topanga sighed as Riley's door slammed. Was New York really going to change her?

Maya groaned as she struggled with her 10,000 lb. cast. Not to mention a backpack full of books. She was feeling pretty stressed and decided to go to Starbuck's. She almost got hit by a taxi in the process but she shook it off (No Taylor Swift pun intended).

In front of Starbuck's she accidently bumped into a teenager with black hair. "Whoa, sorry dude. I just got this cast and all I want is my coffee." He turned around and Maya was surprised to see Gabe. His frown molded into a big smile. "Hey, Maya. I can see that you're having a bad day." Maya sighed. "Yeah…" He laughed. "What kind of coffee do you like?" He asked while grabbing her backpack and walking in with her.

"I love white chocolate mocha." He nodded. "I'm gonna go buy it for you." He sat her down at a table and put her backpack next to her. "You don't have to." It was too late. He was already asking the cashier for it. She smiled. He really was too sweet. Before she knew it, he came back with a steaming coffee cup.

"Here you go." Maya nodded a thanks. He sat down next to her. "So how's it going with that friend of yours?" He asked. "It's going well. I forgave her for breaking one of my limbs." He laughed. "What about Vanessa? Where is she?" He groaned. "With one of her friends. They went shopping. And left the boyfriend." Maya could tell that Gabe was jealous. "That sucks…" She said. He nodded but smiled. "Hey, if I went I wouldn't have seen you." He had a point. They don't have each other's numbers.

Maya gave him her number and began to talk about Riley. "So, my friend's name is Riley. Sometimes she's mean but that's because she was spoiled. I know I'm saying this a little soon, but I think she's changing into a really sweet girl. If I'm right, for the sake of her parents, that's awesome. I wouldn't mind if she stayed the same, though. If I didn't like her the way she was, I wouldn't be her friend."

Gabe had burnt his tongue with the coffee but said nothing. This is almost exactly the way he used to act towards Vanessa. He always told his friends and family that he liked Vanessa the way she was. His family didn't approve of their strong bond because she had "problems". He wanted to tell Maya but knew it was too soon. If someone told him that at this stage then he would freak out and avoid Vanessa.

I don't want that for Maya…Or even Riley. Maya poked Gabe, startling him. "Are you okay? You kind of zoned out on me." Gabe nodded. "I was just thinking about Vanessa." It wasn't entirely a lie. However, Maya suspected that he was indeed lying. She left it alone for now. No need to start trouble in her favorite coffee shop.

Riley barged through the door. Maya gasped as Riley dragged her out of Starbucks and caused her to abandon Gabe and more importantly her WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA! Wait a second. She realized that she was stronger than Riley, yet she let her drag her through the crowd around the street. Maya looked at Riley's determined posture as she somewhat struggled in her clutch.

She had looked at Riley differently. This was definitely the same girl yet… she looked like a delicate flower this time. Her dark brown hair shone with the sun and her eyes seemed to never end. As if she could drown in them. Maya felt her heart begin to pound quickly and she grabbed onto her chest.

She was confused. What was this feeling and why was it so intense towards Riley? Riley seemed to be dragging her to her house. But why? Her parents didn't know Maya at all. Riley muttered something about her mom being a jerk but Maya was too busy figuring her self out.

Riley practically bashed her door open and dragged Maya into her room. She pinned Maya to the door and Maya felt a strange bliss. "Maya, you're coming here every day after school, got it?" Riley said sternly. Maya didn't feel the least bit threatened but agreed because she had no problem with it.

"Riley, you can let me off the door, now." Maya said. Riley scoffed and let go of the shorter girl. "You dragged me all this way to tell me that?" Maya asked. "Would you rather hang out with that guy I saw you with instead of me?" Maya stared at her for a moment. "If that's what you're thinking, first of all, he has a girlfriend, second, He's way older than us." Riley stared back. "Then why were you with him?" Before Maya answered, she realized something. "You're jealous." Riley quickly denied this. "No, I'm not. We would've been hanging out if it weren't for my parents." …. "Then why am I suddenly allowed to come in?" Maya asked. "I'm grounded so I'm mad at them. This is my revenge on them." Maya rolled her eyes. Why was Riley even lying to her? "You made me leave my coffee." Maya said softly. "What?" Riley asked incredulously. "White chocolate mocha. I was drinking my favorite coffee from my favorite place and you made me leave it." Riley felt guilty for some odd reason.

She sighed. "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you miss the coffee?" Maya thought about this. "About a 9,000." Riley officially felt it. Guilt. It was all over her and she hated it. "I'll…. Get you another white chocolate mocha." Riley spat out. Ugh. Generosity.

Maya smiled. "Really?" Riley nodded and smiled back at her friend. Riley and Maya went back to the coffee shop only to find that Gabe was still sitting there. Except this time he looked very anxious and nervous. Maya walked up to him but Riley was practically had jealousy oozing out of her.

"Gabe, what's the matter?" He looked at Maya. "I called Vanessa and she didn't answer. I called her friend and she said that she went to the car and never came back. She looked in the parking lot and found Vanessa's purse and keys on the floor next to her car." Maya paled.

She no longer wanted the coffee. She was going to puke.

Vanessa was taken.

COFFEE! Well, I once again apologize for the confusion and I'll see you next chapter!

Fun Fact: Maya's coffee addiction is based off of my own addiction to coffee. I FRIGGIN LOVE COFFEE!
