Listened to these songs while writing and they remind me of lucaya so much so I wanted to post them and hopefully someone will listen to them:

The Fratellis - Whistle For The Choir

Taylor swift - State of Grace

Taking this drabbe way back in time to around the first half of the first season. This is the first time they ever talk alone without their friends around, Maya might be a little mean but they're young, Maya doesn't know what to make of Lucas.

5."I'll walk you home."

Maya glared at Lucas.

"You don't have to Huckleberry, I'm a big girl and I can walk by myself. Besides, I'm only a couple blocks away."

"Can you just let me do something nice for you?" Lucas asked getting a little irritated.

Maya groaned in misery.

She didn't really get what Riley saw in this wannabe cowboy, but Maya knew it was important to her for them to all become friends.

Maya didn't want anymore friends, she was happy with what she had now.

Even if she didn't have much, she had people that cared about her and that was enough.

"I'm not asking you to walk into traffic, just let me walk you home. What's the worst that could happen?" Lucas asked.

"I could push you into traffic," Maya said grumpily.

Lucas had the nerve to smile at her.

"Is that a yes?"

Maya thought about it. Normally she would walk Riley home, sometimes even with Farkle, it was nice to not walk around alone. And she did not want to wait alone in school until Riley and Farkle finished their nerd club meeting or whatever it was called.

When Riley told her that she wanted to join the schools Yearbook club Farkle had immediately decided to join her and Maya immediately said no.

But now that left her all alone with a Huckleberry by her side.

It could be worse.

"Ugh fine. Let's go before Riley tries to make me join her geek club again, I can't believe she hasn't gotten to you already," Maya said.

"Oh she tried, but Yearbook isn't really my thing." Lucas said as they walked away from their school.

"It's no hoedowns or rodeos." Maya said using an exaggerated Texan accent.

"Ha ha ha," Lucas said sarcastically. "You do know I don't even talk like that right?"

"I do, but I chose to ignore it," Maya said with a smile.

Lucas laughed.

"Fine, if it makes you happy go ahead."

"Then I will," said Maya.

"But you did get something right, you'll probably use this against me but I do love rodeos. The food, the games, the animals, the people, there's just nothing like it anywhere else. I would go to it every year ever since I was little, I'm probably going to miss it this year," Lucas said wistfully.

Maya nudged him with her shoulder.

"Cheer up cowboy, I'm sure we can find you a cow to moon over around here."

Lucas rolled his eyes.

"Tease me all you want but I bet even you would enjoy it if you ever went to one."

"I doubt it but you can dream."

Maya looked at Lucas as they walked through busy streets and tall buildings. He was looking around his surroundings, with his hands in his pockets.

He didn't look scared but he looked uncomfortable.

He looked lost.

Maya could not imagine being anywhere else in the world, New York had always been her home even with it's flaws it was still beautiful to Maya, it was like a living masterpiece to her.

She wondered if Texas was like that for Lucas.

She'd feel pretty lost and sad if she had to leave her home.

And lonely too.

"This must all be strange for you Ranger Rick," Maya said breaking the silence that had fallen.

"This must be nothing like where you came from."

Lucas gave her a pathetic attempt at a smile.

Maya hated it when people pretended to be happy when they weren't.

"Yeah, where I come from it's always sunny, and there's green everywhere, and you don't bump into other people when you walk down the street. An when the sun goes down the sky turns into so many colors and it changes everything around you, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And at night when you look up at the sky you see so many stars, it feels like it should be impossible but it isn't. It's just home."

Lucas sounded so sad that Maya almost wished she could do something to cheer him up or even comfort him but that was what Riley did and Maya could never be as bright as her.

Maya knew she would never be Riley.

Riley was a good person who deserved good things.

And despite everything Maya knew Lucas was a good person, who talks about horses and sunsets and beautiful things.

"The sunsets here are beautiful to me, you just have to take a minute and really look around you. There aren't that many stars at night though, but I'm sure you can find at least one. But still, I guess it must suck to have to leave it all behind," Maya said looking at the grey sidewalk they were walking on.

"It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Mostly because of meeting Riley and everyone else," Lucas said with a real smile.

That's the power of Riley, Maya thought.

"Yeah, Riley is pretty incredible. When I first met her it was like seeing the sun for the first time," Maya said smiling.

"I had been so sad and lonely when I met her, I saw her through the bay window and she let me stay inside with her, she made me feel safe and the rest is history," said Maya feeling self conscious, but for some reason Maya wanted him to know how special Riley was to her and if he ever hurt her it would be like hurting Maya too.

Lucas smiled.

"You and Riley are unlike anyone I've ever met, and I'm glad I met you both that day in the subway."

You make me feel safe and I think I might trust you, is what Maya wanted to say but she couldn't let herself.

"If you ever hurt Riley I'll never forgive you." Maya said instead.

Lucas stopped walking and Maya turned around to look at him.

He looked like he'd been hit.

And he also looked angry.

It shouldn't make Maya happy to see him upset but it felt good to see him be human and not Lucas the Good.

"What is it with you?" he asked with an edge to his voice, "I get that you think I'm an outsider and that maybe I don't belong here but do you really think so low of me. You really think I would do anything to hurt Riley?"

Suddenly Maya wished she hadn't been so aggressive or "rude" as Riley would say but it was who she was.

She wished she had told Lucas she was scared of trusting him not only with Riley but with herself too, because wherever Riley went Maya had to follow.

"Just tell me you won't and maybe I'll believe you."

Lucas scowled.

"I promise I won't hurt her. Now let's keep walking or are we gonna stay here all day." he said still sounding angry but more controlled.

"Fine." Maya said as "rude" as she could.

They didn't say a word the rest of the way.

Maya wished she could be more like Riley.

But she never would be and she accepted that a long time ago.

I've been kinda angry at the current Maya is becoming Riley storyline, it just seems so harsh to make Maya rethink becoming a more mature person, getting good grades and not getting into trouble seems like a good thing to me but whatever. I did like Girl Meets True Maya a lot and seeing Maya be a bit more tough and more like her old self before the "triangle" mess, and before Riley made her rethink who she should be. Don't get me wrong I love Riley and her relationship with Maya but it just feels like everything goes back to the "triangle" for Riley and it gets tiring after awhile. But I'll forgive Riley for anything cuz I love her. Also I loved the Farkle moment where he was like "He's just a face!" to Riley. My Riarkle feels grow bigger every time they share a scene.

Anyways, hope ya'll liked this one and please leave a review if you did.

You all inspire me so much.
