Lucas's P.O.V
I turn the tv on and watch this baseball game. It's the Chicago Cubs vs New York Mets. I pour some icy water into a glass because I'm thirsty as fuck and drink it while watching the game. I get a text on my phone from Riley.
Riley: Hi Lucas
Me: hey riley
Riley: um, can I come over, I need to talk to u about something
Me: ok

I wash the glass and turn the tv off. My doorbell rings just in time. I'm glad my parents aren't home. I open the door and see Riley and Farkle standing at the door.

"What? I thought it'd be just Riley." I say nervously.

Farkle looks at me and says "Why, do you have a problem with me and Riley?"

I quickly say "No" and invite them in. They take a seat on the couch.

Riley quietly looks around and says "Are your parents home?"

I tell her that they aren't.

Farkle asks me for my laptop. "What do you need it for?" I ask suspiciously.

Farkle rolls his eyes and says "God Friar, why are you so uptight and suspicious about every single fucking thing?"

I roll my eyes back at him and hand him my MacBook Air. He quickly types something up and an image of Danielle appears.

"What the hell Farkle?" I say as I attempt to snatch the laptop from him.

Riley pushes my hand away and says loudly "We're trying to help you Lucas!" I can hear the echoes of what she said in the house.

"Okay, what is it?" I say, trying to remain calm.

Farkle scrolls across the yearbook thing with Danielle. "You see this Lucas? This is Danielle. Your girlfriend. Grade eleven. Minnesota. Remember when she came to our class and Mr. Matthews said she was from California? She was lying about that and told everyone that. She changed everything on her records that she was a year younger and from California. I don't know how she did it, but she did."

What? Danielle wouldn't do that. She's nice and not like that. "No. You're wrong. Danielle isn't like that." I say.

Riley rolls her eyes and groans. "Lucas, Danielle isn't perfect! She's a liar!"

"Damn Riley, why are you getting so damn worked up about this!" I say with an annoyed voice.

"Because I care about you for god's sake! I care about you, and... I don't want you with Danielle. You know why? Because she'll break your heart, and I... I just want you to be fine."

Farkle hands me my MacBook back and says "If you don't wanna believe us, then go ahead and be happy with that liar." He walks out and Riley looks at me sadly.

"I'm sorry Lucas." She softly says as she follows Farkle out.
