This is our Life

Chapter 8

Lucas Pov

Today, Riley and I are on a triple date with the rest of the gang. We decided to go bowling, so right now we are tying up our laces, prepared to compete. "Couples vs couples?" I suggested, as we were debating teams. "No, we should change it up a bit. I'll go with Riley, you go with Maya, and Smckle goes with Josh." Farkle exclaimed, smiling. Everybody agreed, so we paired up. Farkle was literally standing as close as possible to Riley as he could, and kept asking if she needed help.

"Lucas, I love Riley, and I can't help that. So either give her to me, or I'll win her over." Farkle angrily said. "Are you so sure about that? I mean it took you what, 3 years to win over Smackle?" I answered. "We have to fight for Riley, and she will choose who she wants. Yes or no? Because if you choose no, then you leave Riley alone." "I choose...
