at first sight

Lucas's pov // Topanga's

My friends and I are talking, laughing, and just enjoying our last day of summer when this blonde beauty makes her entrance... and can I just say, she took my breath away...

"Hi, I'm Maxine... Max for short. I'm Riley's twin sister," she greets us, introducing herself with a wave. She gets a plethora of reactions. First, from Maya and Farkle she gets a joyous and happy one. Second, from me, Smackle and Zay she gets surprise and shock. Lastly, from her sister she gets complete and utter disgust... which I did not expect from Riley at all...

I turn to face her. "Hi, I'm Lucas. This is Smackle and Zay." I assume she already knows Farkle and Maya if she's Riley's sister.

"Nice to meet you." She says smiling at me.

That's when Riley scoffs, turns to their mother, and asks, "Why is she back?"

Mrs. Mathews' face turns livid. "Riley Mathews! That is no way to speak about your sister!" (a/n: I know it's different but I thought this would make more sense.)

"It's a valid question. I thought she was sent away for a reason," she argues.

"We will talk about this at home." I look to Maxine. She has tears in her eyes as she makes her exit...

After Max walks out, I face Farkle and ask, "Riley has a twin sister?"

He nods. "Yeah, she went to live with her grandparents and her Uncle Josh."

"Why?" I ask him, confused. I had never heard of her before... Riley never mentioned her. (a/n: Sorry for the slight change again, I just thought it looked better.)

"Why don't you ask her yourself." I nod and follow Max outside...

Max's pov // Topanga's, outside

I sit on the stairs near the cafe, clenching my hands and jaw in order to prevent myself from crying. This is why I left. Riley has always made those comments... She has always acted like I was this disease. Like I wasn't even her sister... That's when I feel a presence next to me, making me turn my head.

"Hey, you ok?"

"Ha. No."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Not really." I say, not meeting his greenish, hazel orbs.

"That's ok. When you're ready, you're ready... I won't force you."

"Thank you, Lucas."

"Of course, Maxine." I go to correct him, but for some reason I don't.

"Where are you from?"

"Texas, Ma'm." He says with a tip of an imaginary hat... successfully making me blush.

"Nice." I say, the heat in my face subsiding.

"What about you?"

"I'm from here but I was sent to live with my Dad's family in 4th grade, so about six years ago..."

"Can I ask why?"

"If I tell you that, I have to tell you why I walked out of the cafe."

"Oh, so tell me when you're ready then."

"I will. I promise..." I say with utmost sincerity.

"This may be weird, but I'm happy I met you..."

"It's not weird. I'm happy I met you too, Lucas." I say with a smile on my face.

Lucas's pov

Maxine and I talked all night. We got to know each other, we told each other the secrets we kept to ourselves, we shared our hopes and dreams, and maybe just maybe we began to fall in love... of course we didn't know it then, but it was definitely a possibility...

a/n: Ok, so I made a few tweaks because I thought it looked better and made more sense... I decided to do this story from Lucas's pov because I really wanted to and I thought it would get me out of my severe writers block.

Also, I have made a playlist for this book. It has the same picture and title as the book...
