Riley's POV

We walk to the subway. We're all arm in arm- Lucas, then Maya, then me, then Farkle. I notice Lucas staring at Maya whenever I glance over at them. It doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. 

My white shimmery dress swishes as I walk. I was going to be all "sophisticated cool city girl" with my outfit tonight, but eventually I ended up with a flower crown, a multicolored belt, and hot pink heels. Oh well, that's what makes me Riley. 

Crazy Hat is sitting on her usual bench as we get on the subway. She takes one look at the four of us and winks at me. I smile.

"After you, m'lady," Farkle says, letting me into the subway. I blush. I think I might actually like Farkle.

There are only 2 empty seats together. I snag one, and motion for Maya to sit next to me. Farkle takes it. But Maya's not looking, anyway- she's listening intently to what Lucas is telling her. I wonder what it is. But then again I don't. Because I'm sitting here, holding hands with Farkle. 

Maya's POV

I look into Lucas's eyes, which are a dark emerald green. He's telling me about his talk with Missy yesterday. I knew she didn't like me, but I'm surprised she'd say something about it to Lucas.

"So, I told her," he says, "Quit it. Maya's gorgeous, and sweet, and smart, and I lo-" he pauses.

"Yes?" I ask. I think he's going to say he loves me. I wish he is. I hope he is. 

He doesn't respond. His face is getting pink.

"Lucas?" I ask. 

"Yeah?" 

"What am I to you?" I look down at my shoes. Great. Now he's gonna know I like him! 

"Never mi-" I start to say, but Lucas cuts me off. 

"Maya, to me..." he begins. He takes both my hands. I let him. "To me, you're everything, and more. You're a princess. Not just any princess, but my princess." 

I smile, and tuck my hair behind my ear nervously. I'm glad I asked him. He looks me in the eyes. I suddenly realize I'm tearing up. I reach up and hug him. He hugs me too. 

Riley and Farkle run over. "Group hug!" they yell, and crash in to us. Everyone is staring at us like we're really weird. Which we are. 

The subway stops near JQA middle school and we hop off. Music is blasting from inside the gym and there are people everywhere, all dressed up, walking in to the dance. 

"Shall we?" Lucas asks. He extends his arm. 

"We shall," I say, taking it. 

"Us too?" Farkle asks Riley. 

"Yup," Riley replies. 

Together, we head inside.
