*Maya is worried that Riley not only likes Lucas, but that she likes Farkle too*

Maya sat down on the couch, her head reeling as she thought about Riley loving Farkle or Lucas.

"Maya, you seriously don't look okay..." Riley's smile turned to a frown as she watched her friend. Lucas and Farkle looked on in the same fashion.

"No," Maya whispered, "NO! I'm not okay!" She stood up as she yelled, throwing her hands down in frustration.

"What is wrong with you!?" Riley asked frustratedly.

"You know that I love you, right?" Maya asked pleadingly. Riley's eyes grew wide, as did the boys at Maya's sudden confession.

"Yes, I do," Riley replied calmly, "And you know that I love you." The boys still had their eyes bugged out.

"Wait... you guys like... love eachother?" Lucas asked, his voice cracking with hurt.

"Yes," Maya replied, "but there's something else..." She walked up to Lucas, "I might possibly love you too."

Lucas's eyes grew wide once again, as did Riley's.

"And I know you and Riley like eachother. That's been evident from the start. That's why I suggested Riley go in the room with Farkle," She turned to Farkle as she said this, "Because I didn't think she'd fall for him too. But it looks like she did."

"I don't even know what to say, Maya," Farkle replied angrily, "Accusing your friends..."

"Did you not see the look she gave you, Farkle?" Maya looked back at Riley, "It was the look she gives me. The look she gives Lucas."

"I'm not the only one in the wrong here, Maya," Riley spoke, "You love me and Lucas. How can you get upset at me when you are doing the EXACT same thing?"

Maya paused. She didn't say another word as she ran up the stairs and out the front door of Lucas's house.

"Maya!" Riley called after her. Farkle put his hand on her shoulder.

"I'll talk to her," he said consolingly, "Don't worry." Farkle rushed out of the building, chasing Maya.

Farkle found Maya sitting in the fire escape outside Riley's bedroom window.

"I can't get inside, the window is locked," Maya told him.

"Maya, I'm sorry for yelling earlier. I wasn't thinking," Farkle confessed.

"It's fine... really," She replied. It wouldn't be the first time.

"We are still your friends. Riley was concerned about you. However I had to leave her alone with-" Farkle was cut off as Maya kissed him.

"W-what?" Farkle pulled away in confusion, "Why?"

"Thank you for being such a great friend, Farkle. I really needed this," Maya began to speak of her feelings as Farkle sat with her in the fire escape listening to every word.
