*everything is the same as gmw, except they are freshman in high school

Lucas and Maya sat in the back of history class, with Riley a few seats in front of them. Maya had been secretly paying attention to Mr. Matthews up until he started going off on a side story about an adventure with Topanga. Maya's eyes wandered and diverted to the profile of an extremely handsome boy sitting to her left. She glanced at him and just as soon as she did, he turned towards her.

"What's the matter?" He smirked, "Mr Matthew and his wife's adventures too boring for you?"

Maya was more focused on the adventure sitting right next to her. "No," she said irritably, "I was just looking at how annoying your cowboy outfit is and how much you stink like a cow."

"Awh how nice of you to notice my smell. I picked it out just to match with you."

She bit her lip, too distracted by his gorgeous olive green eyes, unable to respond. He smirked at her loss for words and was about to continue the banter when he suddenly glanced at her lips for the briefest second. The words caught in his mouth as he unconsciously moved closer. Maya felt his eyes on her lips and as he moved closer, she leaned away, like two moving magnets.

She gave him a tight-lipped smile, "Looks like the cow just jumped over the moon."

He blinked at the sound of her voice and his thoughts scrambled to pull themselves together. He hadn't realized that his body had shifted closer to her seat until that moment and he tried to discreetly move back.

He grabbed her phone and retorted, "And the dish ran away with the spoon."

He proceeded to push his chair back onto his side of the desk when the metal chair leg collided with the floor and made a horrible screeching noise. Mr. Matthews stopped talking and the rest of the class turned around to face the interruption. Riley looked back at her two friends, rolling her eyes at Maya and laughing at Lucas. Maya felt a sudden twinge of guilt, for reasons she wasn't fully sure of. Lucas muttered a quick apology to Mr. Matthews as he readjusted his seat, making sure it wouldn't make any noise. As he glanced back up, he met Riley's eyes in a lingering smile. He mechanically smiled back as a gradual feeling of unease washed over him.
