What If...

Chapter Three

Farkle's POV

"Do you want anything else to eat? We have a lot of food left over." I loved Topanga like to mother I never had. She was there for me whenever my parents weren't, which happened to be all the time.

"I'm good, thank you though." There was a little bit of an awkward silence. "Hey, you guys still donate all this food if there are leftovers right? Do you think maybe this time you could send it to the Food Shelter on the other side of town, instead of the closer one?" I had gotten pretty close with some of those people when I volunteered there, but they never had that many donations.

"Of course. I'll have Susie take them over there was you guys leave for school." Susie was a sweet girl. She was only 20 years old but she was an awesome chef and Topanga paid her enough to get her through culinary schooling.

"Thanks so much. Those people there are super kind and have amazing outlooks on life." Which was true. Topanga nodded in agreement and then went off the tell Susie the new directions.

Lucas has been in Riley's room for quite some time now. I wonder what's going on up there. I decided to go up there, being that I'm alone now.

When I got up to the stairs I started to walk over to Riley's door, but then I heard Lucas. He wasn't yelling, but he wasn't talking normally either. Is Riley okay?

"...it yet. You are inexperienced in this stuff." What were they even talking about? Riley is awesome at ever throng she does. And is skilled with everything, because she tries and doesn't give up.

"Just stop! Okay, stop would you?! I thought I liked you until this morning, okay!? I was so excited to start this school year, our high school careers, with you... Until this morning." What was she doing. I thought we agreed not to say anything. "I liked you, or thought that I did, until Farkle kissed me and I felt something! I felt the fireworks that you felt with me! My world stopped. My first kiss was not with you, but it was with the right person! I like Farkle, and not you!" And now the words out and Lucas is going to hate me. Wait.. She thinks I'm the right guy? She really like me. I'm glad our kiss meant that much to her.

"What!!? Farkle kissed you? Okay, I'm going to get him right now, and we are talking about this!" Oh crap, Lucas is going to walk out of the room to find me eavesdropping.

"Wait Lucas, I think you should just go to school. You and Farkle. I'll just have Susie drop me off on her way to the Food Shelter."

"No. I don't want to talk to Farkle right now. I want to work through this. Me and you, I want is back." I don't understand Lucas right now. He never had anything special with Riley. Yeah, I mean they had a thing, but it couldn't have meant that much because he kissed Haley just last week. While I was still dating her too. And I knew about it, wasn't mad even though he kissed my girlfriend, and kept it from Riley.

"Lucas, we have nothing special. We are friends, and that's it. Please leave so I can finish getting ready so I'm not late to my first day of High School." I decided to go to the bottom of the stairs and wait until I heard the door open and then act like I was just walking up. Casually, hopefully it will come off that way.

It felt like I was waiting there for an hour, but I'm sure that's just because of the situation. It was probably only about five to ten minutes. Then I heard the door open, I want to know what happened in those ten minutes. As I started to walk up the stairs, I checked my watch. It was already 6:25. Great, now we are going to be late on our first day of school, our first day of high school. Well if we walked like we normally do. The high school is Riga block closer to Riley's house than the middle school, but in the other direction.
