Friday was the only day where he didn't have all his friends till after lunch in his class, Lucas had gym first thing with Charlie and Zay, and then he had French with Farkle. AT lunch Zay dragged Lucas to practice.
the four met up in front of Maya's Locker
"ok so dad has everything inside, I just need to get the pop and chips from you Charlie, and then you two can go decorate his locker" Riley ordered and Charlie took the food out of Maya's Locker and handed it to Riley with a smile
"actually no change of plans Charlie come help us with the classroom Maya can do his locker by herself"
Maya nodded parting her friends and made her way to the locker.
Riley Farkle and Charlie worked in silence for most part
"I'm gonna go get some tape from the art room" Farkle announced leaving Riley and Charlie alone in the room
"um Charlie" Riley said quietly so quietly he didn't hear her
"Charlie" she said a bit louder, he turned and looked at her
"I'm sorry"
"for what you didn't do anything"
"I'm sorry if I hurt you, I was confused and I shouldn't have used you like that. You're a good guy"
"no apology needed but greatly appreciated" he said with a smile
"Can we be friends Charlie?"
"of course Riley"
"thank you " he smiled at her and shrugged
Lucas and Zay made their way over to Lucas's Locker. He smiled as he saw the collage that was tastefully designed that it had to be Maya, he opened the locker which was filled with balloons and chuckled. Zay just stood against the locker
"nice work.. she did good" Lucas nodded in agreement. As he took his history textbook out of the locker he felt a body jump on to his back, her legs wrapped around his hips.
"Maya give me warning before you do that" he said with a chuckle
"girlfriend privileges" she said simply as Zay took Lucas's Backpack and books and locked the locker, she used her hands to cover his eyes and he moved his arms to support her
"what are you doing"
"Riley's orders" and with that Zay lead Lucas to the history classroom. when they were inside Maya jumped off his back revealing a fully decorated classroom , that he knew was Riley's doing.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" the class said in unison and Riley went up and gave him a hug
"wow thank you! thank you all" he smiled and with that the kids went to get plates to eat food, Mr. Matthews ordered a couple pizzas too.
"thank you Mr. Matthews "
"Happy birthday Mr. Friar you and I will have a chat next week" He said a bit too menacingly.
"we thought we should celebrate your birthday as a class too" Riley said as his friends nodded.
"sit down" farkle said pushing Lucas into his chair
"you get the first piece of Pie" Charlie said placing a plate in front of him
"oh um thank you Charlie"
" he decorated the ceiling, it took him forever" Riley said throwing him a smile Lucas took a bite of the Pumpkin pie that was in front of him
"woah this tastes like-"
"gammy's pie" Maya interrupted
"I was in charge of sweets so i called your mom to ask her what your favorite type of pie was and then she redirected me to Gammy who skyped me at 3am"
"you skyped my grandma at three am for a recipe for pie" he interrupted her with an amused smirk playing on his lips
"yes, yes I did and before you say or act smug um your gammy and I and very interesting talk about a certain sheep rider and she showed me great pictures huckleberry" Lucas's smirk dropped his eyes widened
"Maya"
"but I will not disclose them today" he sighed
"thank you guys again" he said looking at his closet friends he turned to Charlie
"um Charlie my family is having a dinner for my birthday and would you like to join us "
"seriously?"
"yeah I haven't been so fair to you and you did a lot for me" Charlie smiled and nodded
"yay!" Riley said with a smile
The gang met at Lucas's house at 7 and the family met the friends and soon they were in the restaurant. They all had fun eating and laughing and playing around. at 9:30 Rosalie called out
"Presents time" and she lead the group of ten into an enclosed seating area, it looked very fancy. they all took a seat.
"I'll go first " his sister said going through the presents to find hers
"she's really pretty like really pretty" Maya whispered to Riley
"I know, and look at his brother this family is just full of good genes" And they were , Rosalie was a tall blonde with long Wavy hair and long legs and curves and beautiful almost violet type eyes, Her Twin Brother was lean and built with curly blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. The twins resembled the mother who also had blue eyes and Blonde hair, His mother, Madison, was basically an older version of Rosalie, Lucas on the other hand was a carbon copy of his dad, Jayden, from the dirty blonde hair and green eyes to the muscular body.
"ok so I know how much I'm going to miss you when um I leave for Harvard and I hope you miss me at least a fraction of that so I decided we need to spend quality time with each other" Rosalie said holding her present behind her back Lucas chuckled
"and make memories so I got us tickets for a tour of Europe during Spring Break" she said handing him an envelope. he grinned at her
"seriously?"
"yup just you Jasper and I in Europe for a week"
"thank you " she smiled leaning down to give him a kiss on the forehead then went and sat next to her other brother
"I guess we should go next?" his father said standing up looking at his wife. He simply handed him a Card.
" We got us all tickets to go biking in Vancouver during the summer and -"
"I thought that meant that you might need a new mountain bike" His mother finished his dad's sentence
"wow oh my god thank you, I've been wanting this bike forever and Vancouver has amazing scenery" He said his eyes shining with glee
"anything for you " his mom said
"my turn ok Luke so since Rose booked your spring Vacay and The parentals took most of the upcoming summer. I bought you some actual things " Her brother said handing Lucas a big wrapped box. He smiled unwrapping it he chuckled as he looked up at his brother
"thanks man" he said taking out a UP fit Band and a pair of Beats by Dre
"ok so um I'll give you my gift now because it will not be as great as everyone else's cause well I got the invite today" Charlie said handing him a bag
"you didn't have to get me a gift Charlie but Thank you" Inside the bag were 3 sweaters.
"here you go" Riley said handing him a bright pink bag
"cologne!"
"Take a hint Lucas" Jasper said with a chuckle as Rosalie punched his arm
" I didn't mean anything by it, I just um well I thought" Riley was fumbling with her words, Lucas chuckled
"he's just messing you Riles I love it thank you" Farkle handed him a box and smiled
"you seemed to like it when you were at my house" he said
"interactive eyewear!" Lucas chuckled shaking his head
"what exactly is that?" his mother asked
"well you put it on and it can take you anywhere in the world and you can play sports anywhere in the world without moving" Farkle explained
"how bout you go next Hart?" Zay said
"um ok" Maya gave Zay a puzzled look. She handed Lucas a rolled up painting
"part one " she said sitting in the empty spot next to him. He smiled and unrolled the painting and looked at biting his lip
"you're an amazing artist Maya" he said quietly, The painting was Beautiful before the gang left Texas He took them to A forest park kinda place called Hawstone ridge, he told them it was the place he missed the most from Texas and here it was Maya drew it with great detail. His mim walked up to stand behind him
"is that?"
"yeah… Hawstone Ridge" he smiled sadly
"thank you Maya"
"Part two " she said handing him a envelope
"there's more?" he asked her he asked with signature smile. She bit her lip and nodded. He opened the envelope to find two tickets to a baseball team the Knicks vs The Rangers
"you. What? you got me Baseball tickets"
"yea you get it Knicks versus"
"the Rangers yea I know Maya how much were these"
"not a lot" he gave her a look
"what it wasn't I got them before Texas" he looked unconvinced
"oh my god it just ..I entered an art competition and I won some money from there and I had some birthday money left over, I don't get why this such a big deal" she scoffed
"you went through all that for him?" farkle asked her. Maya turned and looked around the room, and took in the expressions on the faces around her and sighed turning to look at Farkle
"it wasn't that much work, it was an old painting and they gave me money for it, and I don't know why everyone is looking at me like that because this was supposed to be funny and no one is laughing… um Knicks vs the rangers haha " Maya laughed nervously, Lucas chuckled
"will you go with me?"
"to the game?" he nodded
"absolutely not"
"why"
"because I don't like baseball and"
"you love baseball" riley interrupted her, she turned to glare at riley
"yeah then why are you at all the games"
"not cause I like baseball"
"oh really then what do you like there" Maya's jaw dropped a little from what Lucas was insinuating
"well if you must know Friar I'm there to give Moral support for my friends Zay and Charlie"
"okay" he said with a smirk
"and I only got you the tickets cause you said you wanted to go with your sister"
"awh you're so cute, don't worry my boyfriend's uncle is the Ranger's nutritionist I can get tickets we can go I'll be your ride" Maya sighed taking the ticket that Lucas was holding out for her.
"my turn " Zay said
"even thought my friendship is gift enough, I got you this"
"oh no why would you do that to me" Zay held out a blown up picture of five year old Lucas crying because he fell of the sheep next to The fourteen year old holding his arms up in Triumph after conquering Tombstone with the caption " you won't always fail"
"what'd you mean, I worked hard on this" Lucas rolled his eyes taking the picture frame and putting it away
"thanks for a great night guys!"
Soon after Mr. friar dropped kids home and dropped the girls at Riley's house
"we have some serious Bay window talk to do " the brunette said dragging the blonde to her room.
