Riarkle One Shots

This is Me

{I don't like this one all that much, but I'll share it with you all anyways.}

Riley walks through the front door and immediately gets red cups shoved in her face. She doesn't want to be here, but Maya wants her to be so here she is. If only she could find her best friend.

She wanders through the living room and makes a beeline for the backyard. Maybe she's here. Riley walks passed some teens kissing and groping each other trying no to be too disturbed. She walks around the pool and near some ping-pong tables with no luck.

Then she gets a text.

Maya
I forgot to tell you I decided not to go to the party. Sorry.

She sighs before going back inside to get so beer. Riley doesn't really drink, but then again her best friend has ditched her several times over the last few months. Maybe Ms. Little Sunshine has hit her breaking point.

By the time she got the beers and walked out by the pool she already chugged the first one and was onto her second. Riley sat at the edge of the pool letting her feet dangle in the water as her brain absorbed the loud music and alcohol. The girl downed her fourth beer when someone stopped her from opening the next one.

"Maya told me you were here," Farkle said as he sat next to me.

Riley stares at him and smiles goofily letting the drinks affect her. He glances passed her and notices all the empty bottles and sighs.

He grabs her hand and pulls her up. "I'm taking you to my place. Your parents will kill you if you go home this trashed."

"Maybe I don't care Farkley," she slurs as she bumps into every person and object possible. "Maybe this is the me, me, meeeeeee now."

The boy just groans knowing how giggly she gets when she's drunk. He couldn't take how slow she was going, so he scoops her up and rushes out the front door towards his car.

Riley starts giggling as she raises her arm like a bird in flight. "I'm flying!" she screams like a child.

"Yeah," her friend mutters as he shoves her in the front and buckles her up. He jumps in the drivers seat and rushes home before she pukes.

He gets home just as she feels what she had in her stomach coming up. Farkle manage to get her in the bathroom and holds her hair as Riley throws up. He tries not to be too disgusted. The genius knows that there's been plenty of times where she helped him and had to deal with his vomit, but that doesn't help his queasy stomach.

Once she's done she rinses her mouth and asks him for extra clothes which he gladly gives her. Farkle goes to his room and to wait for her.

Riley slowly changes and then stumbles into Farkle's room. She feels ashamed that he had to see her acting so stupid. How could she do that?

"Farkle, is it okay if I just crash?" she quietly asks.

"Of course," he says getting up and pulling the covers for her. He immediately notices that she won't look him in the eye. "You know that you don't have to be embarrassed. It's not like I've never done this."

The young girl's thoughts are murky, but she tries to clear her head to listen to the boy. "I guess," she mumbles.

He kisses her forehead and walks off letting her sober up.
