I fled away home as fast as I could when I heard the horrible news that Maya chose Lucas. I was so hurt. I understood, but I was hurt.

And ok, I'll admit, maybe a little jealous.

I said a little, don't freak peoples.

I had to get back at Maya somehow! Wait, no I didn't. This wasn't about revenge. It was about friendship. It was a friendship test.

Would she choose a boy or her best friend?

I guess we all know the answer.

It was 7:25 p.m. and Corey called me at 7:12 to tell me to hurry on home.

We were having tacos because, duh, Taco Tuesday. Normally, Maya would join but I guess not today.

I was shuffling my feet, depressedly, (idek if that's a word) and my head was down, so no one could see the tears that were beginning to collect in my eyes.

And, like always when I'm not paying attention, I tripped over someone's shoe.

"I'm so sorry! Did I scuff your shoe?" I asked, worried they weren't a Overprotective Shoe Owner (trust me, I know a lot.) They'd probably make me pay $362 dollars to replace their shoes. I don't even have $100 so, you could see why I cared.

"No, it's okay," the familiar squeaky-ish voice said. He looked up, his ginger hair flopping over his one eye.

Farkle? Again?

Is he like, stalking me?

"What are you doing here, Farkle?!" I whisper-yelled, annoyed he'd bumped into me for the second time that day.

"Just coming home to give my parents some milk. We ran out," He nodded, a sickly sweet grin plastered on his face.

"Mhm. And what do you want from me, exactly?" I spat, still annoyed.

"Nothing. We're here anyway, so how did it go with Maya? Did she choose you, like you thought?" Farkle stuck his nose in my business.

I wanted to be nice, but how could I?

"No!" I snapped, turning away.

"Oo, touchy!" He tsked with his mouth .

"Of course I'm touchy! Wouldn't you be?" I scowled at the boy. I started speed walking back home but he caught up with me.

"Hey, I was just joking. I'm here for you," he said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I looked deep into his eyes an realized he really was going to always be there for me.

"Hey farkle, can I ask you something?" I started.

"Yes..." He trailed off, seeming anticipated.

"Will you go out with me?"
