thirty-five | the reconcillation

RILEY
walking around the area, in New York.

"Riles. Please, talk to me," I heard Farkle plead with me as I walked quickly. We'd searched the parks nearby, Maya's favourite hang-out spots (according to what she'd told me before), Topanga's. And we were currently walking down the streets, searching for her. But we couldn't find her.

It was hopeless. And Farkle wasn't helping. At all.

"Don't riles me, Farkle," I warned him.

"I shouldn't even be the one angry at you, but here I am, trying to get you to talk to me! What the hell is wrong with you, Riley?" He asked angrily. I turned around to see his eyes full of rage, and was taken aback.

"Farkle..." I mumbled.

"Do you even know why I'm so mad?" He paused to see my response, and I shook my head, so he continued, "That's what I thought. Do you know how much it hurts when you firstly don't want to tell me about your school life and what's going on in your life when I'm your boyfriend? And next you're suddenly so close to this Charlie guy?"

He paused to let me reply.

"Farkle, how do you know him? Were you eavesdropping?" I asked.

"Riley!" He said in exasperation. "Is that really the point right now? What I'm trying to say is that you've been so happy with that other guy that you sometimes don't even notice when I'm there! Didn't you see him just now? His hand was almost touching your ass!"

"Wha— what? I didn't... notice. Anyway, I've been trying hard to talk to you, but you're the one who keeps avoiding me!" I said defensively.

He shook his head, "Even so, you didn't make an effort to go look for me. And since you're so close to lil ol charlie, why don't you go find Maya with him?"

"Farkle... if you want to know about my school life, fine. Once upon a time... nothing. I am a big loser in the school. From the day I entered the school till now, I've always been cast aside, no friends. I've always been the person to initiate a conversation, while everyone else avoided me so THEY wouldn't have to start one."

I continued, "The only reason why I looked so happy with Charlie was because of that. I had no friends. So I would naturally treasure one once I found one. I know I've just met him, but he's the only person EVER to start a conversation with me in school, so I thought I would finally have a friend."

"Farkle, if you were my boyfriend, you wouldn't have felt that way when you saw us. You know that I love you so much I would kiss you on your face," I paused when he chuckled at my line. "Charlie is just someone who came along and I thought he wanted to be friends. But after you said he wanted to touch my beautiful ass, I'm so done with him. I don't need no friends, let alone perverts, to survive in school, as long as I've got you."

Farkle blushed and looked down, saying, "Sorry, Riles. I guess I wasn't really thinking. I love you. I would never do anything to hurt you."

I smiled shyly at him and stepped forward, wrapping my arms around his neck, and he wrapped his around my waist. We stood there, hugging each other tightly, in the middle of these busy streets, for about half a minute or so, before I pulled away.

"Now, let's go find Maya."

imbatman: how's the search going?

texasboi: I've searched quite a few places in El Paso, but I'm heading over to this other place with an amazing scenery now, and hopefully be able to find her there. Since, you know, she likes art, she may start drawing there or something.

geniusisadora: wow you know a lot

zayscookie: my parents

catsarepurple: back to the main point, Farkle and I have searched most of our area, and we plan to go somewhere even further in New York to find her.

zayscookie: Smackle and I are gonna meet up and I'm gonna drive us to New Jersey to find her.

texasboi: woah that's good!!

geniusisadora: wait, is Maya seeing all these messages?

zayscookie: I tried texting her just now, but it didn't work so I think she's at some place without any signal.

catsarepurple: ughh I'm super worried about her... what if she got kidnapped or something?

geniusisadora: Riley, don't worry too much. we'll be able to find her.

texasboi: she's a strong girl, she will be able to get through anything.
