RILEY'S POV
Later that afternoon, I got home and did my makeup and hair again and spent time trying to pick out my outfit.

"Riley, Farkle is here!" My mom called.

"Bring him in!" I yelled back quickly looking in the mirror making sure my hair looked good.

Farkle entered my room with my mom and I was at the bay window.

"Thank you Mrs. Mathews."

"No problem, Farkle, call me Topanga." My mom said smiling.

"Thanks mom." I said while getting my notebook and folders out.

My mom left the room and Farkle came to sit by me at the Bay Window. "Wow Riley you look beautiful." Farkle said smiling at me, I felt myself blush a little.

"Thank you Farkle. We should start the project." I said and pulled out a paper and pen.

"What would you want to be Riley?" Farkle asked.

"A butterfly." I said.

"Why?"

"Because if I was a butterfly I would fly away into the clouds." I said looking at Farkle. "What would you be Farkle?"

"I don't know exactly. I guess I need to think about it."

"Well what do you like to think of yourself?"

"I'm a man, a big man." Farkle said and I laughed a bit.

"I think you're kind and sweet, and I really like..." I stopped myself before I told him how I felt.

"You Really like what Riley?" Farkle asked looking confused.

"Um...nothing, nothing, it's nothing."

"Riley." He said as he paused and placed his hand on mine, and our eyes locked. "Finish what you said. You really like what." Farkle said in a kind gentle tone still looking into my eyes.

"You." I said, he leaned closer, and closer to my face, until our lips were inches apart, until finally our lips touched, and he pressed his lips against mine. Then he pulled away sharply, he got up and grabbed his things, "Riley I'm sorry this isn't fair to Smackle or Charlie!" He ran out the Bay Window.

I quickly ran outside the fire escape just out the Bay Window and yelled. "Farkle, wait!"

Farkle turned around to see me with tears in my eyes, I loved him so much. "Just, wait Farkle." I said quietly, but loud enough for him to hear.

"Riley, this isn't right." He said as he looked into my eyes.

"Can't you see I love you!" I yelled.

"Riley you love me?" Farkle looked shocked.

"Yes, of course I do." I said in a calm tone holding back tears.

"Riley I love you too, but how can this work?"

"Farkle, we can make this work, the rest is just detail." I said coming closer to him.

"I'm sorry, Riley. I will always love you." He said as he jumped down the fire escape and looked back up at me one more time then left down the street. I started crying in the fire escape, and I just wanted to talk to somebody, I ran back into the room and sat by at the Bay Window.

My mom came into the room, I quickly turned around and attempted to wipe my tears away. "Riley is everything okay, where's Farkle?" She asked.

I turned around, with some tears in my eyes. "Mom, I'm not okay." I said crying.

"Aww Riley." My mom came up to me and held me in her arms. "What happened?"

"Farkle, I have feelings for Farkle Minkus, but he is taken and I'm still with Charlie." I said grabbing a tissue.

"Tomorrow morning, talk to him, even if tonight's talk didn't go well, tomorrow's a new day." My mom said.

"Thanks mom, I'm pretty tired so I'm gonna get some sleep." I said.

"Okay, Riley, love you." My mom said.

*******
The next day at school, I was playing with my hair by my locker talking with Maya and Lucas when I saw Farkle come in. 

"I can't believe Farkle did that to you, Riles, I'm sorry." Maya said. "Lucas and I are gonna go to class now, tell us if you need anything." Maya said smiling holding Lucas's hand and walking into the class.

Farkle approached me, "Riley I'm really sorry, you know I'd never hurt you on purpose." Farkle said.

"Look, Farkle I told you how I felt and you walked away. Now have you chose what you want to be for the assignment yet?"

"Actually yes, I thought about what you said, so I picked an Eagle."

"Why?"

"Because eagles fly like butterflies and Riley Mathews is my butterfly." Farkle said giving me a sincere smile.

"Okay, can we just get this over with." I said as I walked into the class.

"Riley, Mr. Minkus thanks for joining us." My dad said.

"Riley and Farkle, can you two present first."

"Sure." I said.

Farkle and I were at the front of the class. "Farkle, you're up first." My dad said.

"Okay, Mr. Mathews." Farkle said as he picked up his paper.

"I chose to be an eagle, because Eagles are smart, intelligent, and they can fly, and someone very special to me chose to be a butterfly and Eagles can fly just like butterflies."

"Mr. Minkus, you said you picked this for a certain person, why?" My dad asked.

"Because I hurt a certain person, and I said some things I regret." Farkle said as he looked back at me.

I was so confused, Farkle was basically saying how he was wrong and he loved me, and he was sorry. I didn't understand.

"Riley you're up." My dad said. I couldn't, so I ran out of the room.

"Riley wait!" Farkle yelled after me but I was gone in the hallway.

I was standing by my locker and tears started streaming down my face. I slid my back against the lockers until I was crouched down on the floor.

"Riley..." I heard a sympathetic voice say, I turned around to see Farkle standing there.

"Why? Why? Why Farkle, you said that it wouldn't work, and now your basically saying you want to be with me and regret saying you didn't!" I said in a stern voice as I stood up to face Farkle.

"I shouldn't have walked away, Riley, I'm sorry." Farkle said. "I do love you Riley Mathews. Can you forgive me?"

"Give me time Farkle, time." I said as I sat back down. Farkle came to sit by me.

"I'll wait for you. I'm breaking up with Smackle." Farkle said, I looked up at him, my eyes glassy and holding back tears.

"Why?"

"I love you, not her, and I can't do that to Smackle, after we kissed. I'll wait for you."

"I won't hold my breath." I said as I got back up and left down the hall. I didn't look back at Farkle, not once.

I ran down the hallway as if I was escaping my emotions, feelings, problems. I glanced around until my eyes met the bathroom door. I ran through there and locked the door and slid my back down until I was sitting on the floor.

I loved Farkle Minkus.
