RILEY doesn't go to school the next day. After school, FARKLE and SMACKLE sit on the couch at the bakery.

FARKLE: I don't understand. You're breaking up with me?

SMACKLE: I don't understand how you're surprised. You should have seen it coming.

FARKLE: Look, can we just...I don't know...I didn't... Just tell me what's wrong. I can fix it. C'mon, Iz, we've got a second chance, we shouldn't...

SMACKLE: (doesn't want to talk about it anymore) Stop, Farkle. We're done. For real this time.

(SMACKLE gets up to leave, but FARKLE keeps talking)

FARKLE: What did I do? Did I—

SMACKLE: (snaps)  Because you're in love with her! And she's in love with you! (recomposes) And that's okay, Farkle. You just needed to tell me. And her.

FARKLE: (understands what she's saying but is still afraid to speak) Riley.

SMACKLE: (not mad) Now you get it. Goodbye, Farkle.
