Riley POV

Finally, the last day of eighth grade. I saw Farkle with Smackle, about to go to our art class. His arm was around her waist, and I saw her kiss his cheek. The lump in my throat wouldn't go away, and I blinked away tears.

I had always liked Farkle. I even told him I loved him. He said he loved me back, then he asked Smackle out. 

It broke my heart. Maya came over that day, to comfort me. But now she was moving. It was hard to see her go, but it might be for the best. Maybe then I could get back to liking Lucas, and nothing would get in the way. 

But the way I liked Lucas, that was nothing compared to the way I felt about Farkle. I always felt like I could only breathe when he was around. He never judged me, since he knew how it felt. 

We could relate to one another, and he knew me better than Maya even. I smiled faintly at the memory of him helping me up at the playground in first grade. 

We sat next to each other at home that day, ice cream dripping down our hands as we shared a cone. 

A smile always coated my face when he was around. Butterflies erupted in my stomach too, but I liked the way that they tickled my insides.

His blue eyes always had a spark in them, and the way he said things when he was around me always made me happy. 

Suddenly in my class, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Farkle. 

"Hey Riley, do you wanna talk after school?" I nodded, out of it. 

"Sure. I'd love to Farkle."

"Sweet." He replied, then I swore I heard him mutter "I never thought she'd say yes."

Why would he think that? I'd always say yes.

It was the end of the school day. We were hiding behind the bleachers, talking. 

"Riley, I have something to tell you," He whispered.

"I have something to tell you too." I giggled a little, then clapped a hand over my mouth. What did I just do?

"I really love you." We blurted out at the same time. I looked at Farkle in shock.

"But I thought you liked-" We started off together. 

"Smackle?" I finished, at the same time he said, "Lucas?"

"Nope." We replied to one another. 

"Farkle, I got over Lucas a while ago. The spark was just never the same-"

"As it was with you." Farkle finished for me. " I feel the same way, Riley. 

Then our lips touched for a fraction of a second, and something inside me screamed silently.

"Why did we not know about this before?" Farkle asked quietly. 

"I don't know." I replied. "But I love it." I kissed him, and he mumbled underneath our kiss. 

"I love it too."

"So..." I started. "High School, Robot?"

"You. Me. High School. Let's do this thing."

I giggled, and hugged him as that started what turned out to be the best summer of my life. 

YAAAYYY RIARKLE! Okay. So, I got to go. Sorry. Hope you liked it. 

LOVE YOU GUYS!
