Ships & Friendships

Where's Rylie and Maya?

*farkle's point of view*

Riley and Maya never miss class. Well, at least Riley doesn't. I have to find them. I thought I saw them come into class today but I guess not. I get Lucas. We have to find the girls. We don't talk, we don't have to, we both know the goal. We both are worried.

*Lucas's point of view*

I'm worried. I miss Riley. I want to know where she is. Normally I'd be nervous to be late for class. I don't know why I'm not. I don't like Riley, not in that way. I just don't want to hurt her. I don't want to loose her.

Okay so I do like her. And I'm jealous, I'm jealous of Farkle. He loves those girls and isn't afraid to tell them. I haven't even talked to Riley. I need to tell her how I feel. But how? I decide to break the silence.

"Farkle, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure. But I'm surprised you're asking me for advice." The boys sit down to take a break.
"Why, buddy."
"We're buddies?"
"Ya, any friend of Riley's is a friend of mine." "I got your back."
"Cool. So what's your question."
"So um how do I tell a girl how I feel?"
"First- if you hurt Riley I hurt you.
Second- write her a poem and tell her to meet you somewhere." "Tell her your feelings in person though."
"How'd you know it was Riley?"
"Ignore it." Farkle demands.
"Ok. And you're sure this will work ?"
"Ya, Riley loves Shakespeare."
"Oka-," Lucas gets cut off by The girls walking out of the Janitors closet.

Both boys smile but Lucas soon notices that Riley's face is red.

"Are you okay?" Lucas is worried.
"Ya, she's fine." Maya snaps.

Lucas doesn't know what's going on, but he knows he will tell Riley his feelings.
