The lovely idea By Feli

basically gmw but on a gender bender and this lovely idea made me so inspired, I’ll probably make this is a series but I may type the rest on a different website(posting it here as well of course) but hopefully you all enjoy !

Boy MEETS life or in this case reality

“I can’t believe it.. My son.. My young, young, young son’s first day of school is less than twenty minutes away… come here kiddo get a picture with your mommy please”

“Mom, I’m fifthteen and it’s just the first day of highschool” Ricky sighs as his mother engulfs him into a huge hug, she always got so sentimental once school came around crying and holding until the very last minute possible before Cory and Ricky himself would remind her that he would be late if she didn’t let go.

“I know honey but.. It’s the first day of your career and-- gosh you’re getting old, Cory remember when he was just a boy” Topanga cries again as Cory comes to rescue his son, he frees Ricky and he waves goodbye, Ricky leaving to meet Miles near the subway.

To say Ricky wasn’t nervous was an understatement, he was freaking out internally. Ricky unlike most boys was always awkward and oblivious to the world around him, growing up in a home with a younger sister to look out for and two parents that basically taught him the ins and outs of life he never really had to struggle with much other than his own insecurities and optimism. Ricky, for the entirety of his life, has always been plagued with the go lucky- goody two shoes trait that made him a joy to be around, especially for the girls that fell for him left and right to which he never noticed as he always assumed that his niceness was only being reciprocated. Ricky always overthought things, even when he didn’t mean to, he was always worried that over something whether it be an upcoming bio quiz or the matters of home and the outside world his curious mind would lead him to thinking into different variables over the simplest equations, one being the start of high school. This would be the last four years of which before he ventured off to become an adult and do adult things, the thought of being an adult and doing adult things scared him more than Miles as he shouted “Boo!”.

Ricky shifts uncomfortably, rolling his eyes “Very funny Miles”, he says as his best friend gives him a warm hug. Miles was the complete opposite of Ricky in both physical features as well as personality; Miles was more adventurous, more charming, and more reckless with his blonde hair and green eyes that makes almost any girl swoon and most times he was often more recognized and loved for his troublemaking ways which always led to Ricky having to save him in the end of course. Miles unlike Ricky was the only child in his family, he grew up without a father and had only a mother who worked her ass off at a diner to keep a roof over their heads, Miles barely ever bothers to recognize or think about why his father left or who his father was, that was all forgotten and bottled up in the form of him not being academically smart and being the bad boy of brooklyn jay middle school, to which that bad boy persona and his overall look of nonchalant-lance would carry over to brooklyn high nonetheless.

Miles laughed as they both boarded the train and grabbed a pole, “Oh come on, you were totally out of it! It would’ve been cruel of me not to try and scare you”.

Ricky once again rolled his eyes and chuckled a bit as he pulled out his phone and checked the time. 8:04 AM. He let out a breath of relief, they still had a good forty minutes to get to school on time. Ricky began going on a tangent about how nervous he was for the idea of highschool when the train shaked just a little, with Miles glancing behind them to see a gorgeous blonde sitting by herself reading, he nudged Ricky to turn around causing the anxious boy to stop dead in his tracks.

“Woah,” Ricky speechlessly says as he stares at her while leaning on the pole, her dirty,curly  blonde hair cascaded down her face easily. With headphones in her ears she looks up for a mere second and catches the glance of Ricky to which she smiles smally at, then returns to her book in hand. Ricky's nerves instantly turn to butterflies as he turns around and grins with Miles who is just laughing at his awkward best friend. “She’s she’s-”

“Hot, Datable?, ohhh Bedable ?,” Miles smirks and Ricky shakes his head and sighs, “No, she’s beautiful and probably completely out of my league,” the jet black haired boy mumbles as he looks back at her again, this time she’s completely engrossed in whatever she’s reading.

“Ricky that’s the thing about you, you think too much”

“And you don’t think at all”

“See! You get me, this is why we're best friends, it’s also why I’m gonna show how easy this is and how you’re so in her league that she might as well be out.. Just watch,” Miles says as he guides his way over to her. He swings around a pole before greeting her.

“Hi I’m Miles. You’re really cute we should go out sometimes ? You make me happy! You don’t pay enough attention to me!, this isn’t working out. It’s you, not me. We can still be friends.. Not really,” He walks away leaving the girl confused and lost as she stares in their direction before diverting her attention back to her book.

Miles comes back and pats Ricky on the shoulder, “She’s available, we just broke up”.

Ricky frowns, “Awwe I’m sorry dude, do you want to talk about it ?”

Miles shakes his head laughing,”Look here’s a quick tip: be like me and don’t think”, he let’s Ricky’s hand go as the train shakes causing Ricky to fall back, slipping into the seat right next to the blonde haired beauty who glances over and gives him a weird look as he straightens up and smiles, “Hi, we we’re just talking about you.. You use to date my best friend Miles” he laughs a bit as a blush of embarrassment comes over him.

She laughs and it sounds like actual angels to Ricky as she speaks, “I’m Lucy”  she says as she holds out her hand.

“I love it”

“Ack.. I mean I um.. It’s a nice name. I’m Ricky,” The jet black haired boy stumbled as he shook her hand that felt softer than pillows, the butterflies were definitely swirling inside him. He was about to say something when an older Lady politely came up to him and ask if they could trade seats, Ricky being the generous person that he is instantly gets up and allows her to take his seat, only realizing after what a mistake that would be since now he was left standing awkwardly by them.

“Okay well… see you around Lucy,” Ricky walked back to the pole where Miles stood glaring at him, “What ?”

“Dude you had the golden opportunity to talk to her and you gave it away for an old lady,” Miles scorns as Ricky shakes his head comprehending his mistake, the train stops at their destination and they get off together ready to walk together for the first time through the halls of Brooklyn J. High, the butterflies disappearing and the nerves kicking in yet again.

“Oh my god you’re so right, I mean what if that was the greatest moment in my life? What if I never get to see her again, what if after that a girl will never talk to me again all because I’m an awkward dork”, Miles rolled his eyes at Ricky’s exaggeration, like always his best friend overthink everything even when it wasn’t necessary. “Look Dude”, Miles begins as they finally make it to the steps of the high school with seven minutes to spare, “Just take a deep breath and relax, we’re the new underdogs and just like any new rookie we must climb our way to the top of the social ladder… or at least I’ll help you climb” the blonde boy nods as they enter the school both stopping dead in their tracks as they gawk at their very new surroundings.

Everything. Is. Different.

There were lockers that were long and not split in half, there were students not walking in a line, there were places where students can freely talk and enjoy life, there were vending machines, and there was Fiona Minkus, Brooklyn Jay- er- High’s richest elite, walking up to the two boys and ready to plastered herself to her boyfriend’s side. She crashes into Miles causing him to jump before hugging back and kissing the pretty brunette on the cheek.

Fiona Minkus was the epitome of intelligent, there was not one problem she couldn’t solve in less than ten seconds. Rivaling basically the boy version of herself, Fiona was known for her great mind but also for her rich name. As her dad is one of the founders of Brooklyn J. High, her name is famous in the halls of this school even before her first official day of freshman year.  Treated like royalty, the blue eyed brunette always hated her family name and the responsibility it held, she always felt that she could never fully be apart of and treated like her peers around her, whether due to her intelligence or her money Fiona would never truly learn what it’s like to be an outsider.

“Took you guys long enough, I was starting to worry,” She laughs as she grabs ahold of her boyfriends hand, they all begin walking together with Ricky obviously third wheeling but not that either of the lovebirds mind. Ricky although insanely gorgeous, was a very oblivious and easily distracted boy; for all of middle school girls who didn’t fell for her boyfriend’s charm swooned over Ricky’s awkwardness and kind heart however, he always assumed that they were only just being nice to him. Fiona has known the boys since 3rd grade when they ended up being the only two who came to her birthday party she held at her penthouse, most parents felt intimidated by the Minkus family but the Hart’s and Matthew’s family weren’t like them and from there they’ve grown up together, with of course Miles and herself falling head over heels for each other in 7th grade.

“Fi you must remember, they are commoners compare to us” Zoelle giggles as she catches up to them. She gets an uncomfortable silence before Fiona coughs and introduces her, “Guys um this is my new friend I met over the summer during abroad in India, Zoelle Babineaux. Zoella meet Ricky and my boyfriend, Miles Hart” they boys smile and greet her nicely and she blushed with embarrassment, “Sorry about my comment, it was just a joke” she tries to laugh it off and Miles laughs with her.

“Oh don’t worry if that’s the worst thing you’ve got then trust me I will be out doing that by the end of the week”

“Is that a challenge Hart, I’ll have you know I sure do enjoy a good war”, She snickers teasingly and he laughs once more patting her on the shoulder, “Trust me Zoelle, if a war is what you want best believe I’ll win”.

“Oh Zoe he’s right, there’s no way your too much of a goody two shoes” Fiona jokes.

“Oh my god,” Ricky gasps loudly,”I’m not the only one, high five!”

Zoe giggles again and gives Ricky a high five before turning her attention back to Miles who was already staring at her, “We’ll settle this after homeroom” She smirks before walking into the class to which the others follow suit.

They all sit down when the teacher turns around, Ricky’s, Fiona’s, and  Miles’ face’s instantly drops, “Oh no” they say simultaneously. The teacher cheers as he claps his hands together, “Oh yEs!”

“Do you guys know him or something?” Zoe asks confused.

“He’s my dad,” Ricky mumbles as he tries to hide his face, which is pointless since he is in the very front row.

Suddenly a knock at the door and it opens to reveal Lucy from the train entering with a note, suddenly Ricky’s eyes light up and Miles sits laughing while Cory looks terrified, looking back and forth between the smiling blonde and his gushy son.

“Oh no”

A/N: Rucas one-shot that just popped into my head one day.  Summary: It’s the semi-finals. One win away from advancing to the State Championships. The bases are not loaded…but Riley Matthews sure is.  Word count: 1,346

His shoulders were heaving with unsteady breaths. Lucas could feel the heat of the sun bearing down on him as a bead of sweat slowly made its way down the tip of his nose. The crowd was screaming incomprehensively, the cheering squad blowing their horns. His eyes glanced at the scoreboard. It was the bottom of the 9th, the visiting team from Eleanor Roosevelt High leading by one, as the Patriots of Abigail Adams High were out to bat, with 1 out and a player on first base.

Nerves were settling in as he watched his teammate and best friend Zay on home plate, waiting for the next pitch. His gaze then scanned over the crowd, coming to a halt in the front row bleachers when he met Riley’s eyes. He suddenly forgot how to breathe as the rest of the world fades away. She smiled at him and waved; motioning to the jersey she was wearing. It was his old baseball uniform from last year’s season.
