The Bet

Lucas POV

*SATURDAY*

I was lying on my bed repeating the scene of Riley rejecting me.........that's never happened before......with any girl. Riley's different, she's something else. It interests me on how she's the ONLY girl in the school who doesn't like me.........BUT I shouldn't care.....right? UGH I need to stop thinking about her.

I decided to call Farkle. I know he's on a date right now, but I mean I need the distraction.

*Phone call*

Farkle: Hello?

Lucas: Farkle, what's up?

Farkle: I'm kinda busy, I'm on my date with Maya.

Lucas:............so?

I could hear Farkle chuckle through the phone.

Farkle: So I take it that you still haven't asked Riley out?

I gave a little growl.

Lucas: Ugh. Don't remind me. I tried to but she........

Farkle: OH MY GOD! Don't tell me that THE Lucas Friar got REJECTED by RILEY MATTHEWS!!!!!!!!!!

Lucas: oh god shut up. I don't know what to do man. She's so........different.

Farkle: ya, cause she actually respects herself. I told you she was gonna be a challenge.

Lucas: I thought you were just lying.

Farkle doesn't speak for a second then let's out a fake gasp.

Farkle: THE Farkle is no liar.

Lucas: Ya ya ya sure. Now tell me what to do.

Farkle: and why should I help you? I mean I really do want the $1K.

I start thinking and suddenly it hit me: guilt trip.

Lucas: Remember when we were little and some d*ck tripped you and EVERYONE started laughing, except me. I was the only one who stood up for you and every since that day I stuck by your side through thick and thin.

I knew that my guilt trip worked from the silence I was getting from the other side of the phone.

Farkle: Fine.

Lucas: YES! Now tell me everything and hurry so you can get back to your date.

Farkle: be more........not you.

Lucas: What?

Farkle: be caring, give her roses, or chocolates. Give her something that shows her that you care.

I suddenly start thinking about all the things I could do to show her that I "care".

Lucas: Alright, thanks Fark!

Farkle: Dont call me th-

I quickly hung up the phone and went straight towards my desk. I pulled out a pen and paper.

I knew what I had to do.
