Riley Matthews.
Farkle crawled into my room at 5 in the morning. I've been awake since 3 packing. We all left for the airport at 5:30. I slept the entire flight. We landed in London at 5:30. Josh and Maya were staying in a nearby hotel. My mom gave me my inheritance from her parents. Which was alot. My birthday is tomorrow. I don't know what we're doing. We all collapse on the couch.
"Uhm riles we have running around to do. You should find a game and a movie we can watch later."
Farkle said.
"Okay? When will you be back?"
I asked slightly hurt that they're keeping something from me
"We'll call you."
Maya says. They walked out the door.
Farkle Minkus
"I hate lying to her."
Maya groans
"We're not lying Maya. We're running errands."
I replied. We got in the rental and drove to the jewlers.
I awkwardly look in the cases. This is exactly the reason I brought Maya. Josh is out getting food so we actually look like we ran errands.
"Hello. Is anyone here?"
Maya yells. A woman comes out from behind a curtain.
"Hello. I have a system here. Tell me about the person your buying a ring for."
She says. I take a deep breath.
"Shes amazing. She brings out the best in everyone. She only sees the good in everything. She's incredibly goofy. When she thinks no one's looking she does her happy dance. Because she always tries to be happy. She doesn't let anyone see her cry. But when she does break down it means she can't take anymore. She has a secret tattoo of a bullet on her wrist. Which symbolizes her father dying. And to remind her if she got through that she can get through anything."
I opened my eyes to see the woman standing there. With the perfect ring.

I took it in my hand

I took it in my hand. It was perfect.
"I'll take it."
"Would you like it engraved."
She asked. I nodded.
I handed her what a paper with the script I want it in. And what I want it to say. She goes back behind the curtain.
"It's perfect."
Maya cries.
"I know."
I say. Josh walks in the jewlers.
"Foods in the car. And I got the place."
He announces.
"Thank you."
I say. He tosses me the keys. The woman comes out from the curtain with the ring in a velvet box. I take it and examine it. I hand her my credit card. She puts the box in a small bag.
We leave and drive back to the apartment. I hide the ring in a secret compartment in the car. We get out to see Riley spread across the couch eating Chinese food and watching gilmore girls.
"We left to get food Niche."
Josh says as he puts the food on the counter.
"Well you guys take to long and I gotta eat."
She laughs. I sit next to her and she lays her head on my chest listening to my heart beat.
