Farkle Minkus hid behind the corner of Abigail Adams High School looking out at two girls.

'I'm not spying' He told himself.

'All I'm doing is watching people from a place where I'm not able to be seen.' He felt a little better about himself.

He peeks over the corner trying to listen to the conversation between the two friends.

"Maya c'mon let's skip class tomorrow and we can hang at my place!" Riley Matthews says staring at her best friend.

"But Riles! We agreed on tomorrow after school." Her best friend Maya Hart whines.

"Ugh, boo you.." Riley giggles. Farkle can't help but crack a small smile hearing Riley's giggle.

Maya shuts her locker and laughs. Farkle listens.

Riley leans back against some lockers. "Maya you have to live a little. Do more things!" Riley says.

"Let's go rob a bank and see what happens!" Riley says eagerly.

"As much as I could use the money, no thanks." Maya laughs.

Riley pushes herself off the lockers and stands straight up.

"Hey Maya, how about we invite someone else to hang with us tomorrow?" Riley gets an idea.

"Like who?" Maya's eyebrows scrunch together.

"Like that cowboy cutie you like," Riley smirks at Maya.

"Pshh, you mean Lucas?" Maya tries to keep calm in front of her best friend.

Riley shrugs, "I don't like him," Maya blankly said.

Farkle notices that Maya's cheeks turn a slight crimson color.

"Sure," Riley mockingly says. "I don't-"

"Hey Maya, Riley." The two girls hear a voice from behind Maya and their attention turns toward the voice.

Maya stares at Riley before turning around shyly.

"Oh, h-hey Lucas!" Maya exclaims.

"Um, what are you doing here? I mean, not that you can't, or that I mind or anything, just asking." Maya rambles.

Riley contains herself from slapping the back of Maya's head.

"Riley, would you care to join our conversation?" Maya desperately says.

"Please say anything!" Maya whisper and yells as she turns to Riley again.

"Hey, Lucas?" Riley tries to say it normally, but it comes out more as a question.

"Hi, Riley." Lucas smiles.

Farkle notices that a smirk is plastered on Riley's face as Maya stands there awkwardly.

"So Lucas, me, and Maya were just talking about how were hanging out after school tomorrow. Wanna come?" Riley says smirking.

"Sure," Lucas says.

"Great! We'll see you tomorrow!" Riley says as she shoos off Lucas.

"Topanga's at 3!" She shouts.

He walks off confused.

Maya stares blankly at the lockers with her mouth open.

"Maya keep your mouth shut," Riley says closing Maya's mouth.

"I hate you," Maya says.

"I hate you too, it's the opposite day."

"Since when?"

"Since I said so."

Maya sighs.

"I always get so nervous and flustered around him, help me not like him."

"Wish I could, but I can't control your feelings."

"He probably doesn't even like me."

"Maya, you are an amazing, wonderful, sweet, pretty girl. Any guy would be lucky to have you."

"I just feel like I notice him but he barely notices me."

Riley sighs.

"Would some ice cream make you feel better?"
