Maya's POV
Three days later, Lucas died. Farkle got a call from his mom, and with the sound of voice that he replied with, Riley and I immediately knew. Riley started crying right away, and I was too depressed to grieve too loudly. Farkle told us that we were each going to say eulogies at his funeral. Two days later, we went to his funeral. I walked up to his dead body.

Maya: Hey, Cowboy. (starts crying) I can't believe I'm actually going to say a eulogy at your funeral. You're probably going to love it.

Finally, it was time for the eulogies. After some family members went, it was Farkle's turn.

Farkle: (walks up) For those of you who may not know, my name is Farkle Minkus. Lucas Friar was my best friend. He was there for me in my times of need, like the time I was getting bullied. He was one of the few people that didn't judge me, and I'll never forget that. (stars tearing up) When I found out that he had cancer, I was devastated. I mean...imagine your best friend since seventh grade having stage four cancer. (wipes under his eyes) Three days ago, when Riley, Maya, and I visited him in the hospital. He wanted to talk privately with each one of us. With our conversation, he thanked me for all I've done for him. Well, now I'm thanking you, Lucas. Thank you. (walks off)
Riley: (walks up) Hello. I'm Riley Matthews. Like Farkle, I've known Lucas since seventh grade. He was like a brother to me, even though I didn't know it right away. I thought that just because he was pretty cute, I liked him. We even went out for a little while. (giggles) But if it wasn't for him breaking up with me, I would have never found someone else. (looks at Farkle) Thank you, Lucas. I know you are listening to me up in Heaven. (walks off)
Maya: (walks up) Hi. I'm Maya Hart. (starts tearing up) Just to let you know, I'm not one who usually cries in front of a lot of people. Lucas Friar was one of my best friends. I remember that every single day in school I would call him names like Ranger Rick, Bucky McBoingBoing, and Sundance because of his Texas heritage. (giggles) He was shocked when I called him Lucas for the first time. He was all like, "Did you just call me Lucas?" and I was like, "I've always known your name." Well, (looks at Lucas's body) now I'll call you Lucas more often, Ranger Rick. (giggles) Thank you for everything, Lucas. (walks off)
