twenty two

farkle waited at smackle's locker impatiently. she was still in the science lab, doing god knows what and he really wanted to get this breakup over with.

he knew breakups had to be emotional and slow and careful but farkle just couldn't wait any longer with this secret inside him. he cheated. this was bad.

he made out smackle's figure from a distance and straightened his posture. she was walking towards him with zay. farkle rolled his eyes. how was he supposed to break up with her in front of zay? zay, of all people??

luckily, zay waved her goodbye and she walked towards her locker. farkle moved out of her way and offered her a small smile before looking back at his shoes and going back to rehearsing his lines in his head for the breakup.

they walked to topanga's and picked a seat in the very back, where a certain riley matthews would never find them. farkle sighed but before he could speak, smackle did.

"look, i've got to tell you something very important. i need you to just listen to me. questions later."

farkle nodded. he was intrigued. all his plans to break up with her were forgotten.

smackle sucked in a deep breath. "okay so you remember that party we went to? to go take care of riley? and make sure that she didn't get drunk off her ass?"

farkle nodded wearily. she was mentioning the party. did she catch him in the act?

"well, we all got really drunk instead. like not aware of what we were doing drunk. i saw you and a brown haired girl, making out and we fought about it and i kissed someone else. that's all i remember."

farkle sighed in relief. she knew what happened. he examined her face. she didn't look mad.

"oh and i want to break up with you. i just-there's no spark, farkle. you were sweet at first but now, it just feels like a chore. like i have to see you and hold your hand and like you just because you're my boyfriend. sorry."

her eyes widened. "what about you?  you said you wanted to talk?"

"i wanted to break up with you. and say that i'm sorry for cheating." he paused before speaking again. "and i feel like you should know that i cheated on you with riley. not on purpose. steven, your friend, spiked my drink and threatened to send you the photos of me and riley making out."

"oh my god! so you're the mystery man that riley woke up next to!" smackle smiled.

farkle's eyes widened. she knew. "please don't tell her."

smackle laughed. "fine but you owe me. and we're back to being frenemies."

"frenemies."
