I love you as (gmw/Riarkle)

Chapter five

I sit in my study hall, drawing a flower on a piece of paper. Farkle is right next to me but I feel like there is a large wall right next to my shoulder, pushing me away and lasers, burning my eyes out if I dare to look at him.
"Whatchya drawing?" The whole wall comes crashing down and I sigh with relief as I turn to him.
"Just doodling a flower."
"I like flowers. My favorite is the epiphyllum oxypetalum."
"The what now?"
"The night-blooming cereus."
"What's that look like?" He turns his page over and sketches somethings really quickly before handing it to me.
"Wow. That's a really cool flower."
"What's yours."
"Um, a rose." I say, laughing. "Not so scientific.
"that's okay. It's a nice rose." He says, looking at it. The bell rings and we stand up.
"Hey Riley?"
"Yes Farkle?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Always."
"Do you like this?" He leans forward and kissed me quickly. I stare at him for a moment. Does he actually like me? Do we both feel the same way. Before I answer he bolts out of the room. I run out after him but don't see him. Instead, I see Lucas hugging an upset looking Maya.
"He broke up with me." Says Maya.
"I know that you're hurting, but is it okay if before I comfort you, I have a happy moment because now you guys can be together?"
"What?"
"Yaaaaaaay." I just had to. "You know that Lucas loves you, right?"
"No, I didn't even think that you liked me back that way." She says to him.
"Well I do. And I know that you just broke up but if you're feeling up for it. I would really like to be your boyfriend."
"Seriously?"
"Yep."
"That would be great."
"My work here is done." I say, walking away.
