Farkle was sitting at alone at Topanga's. He checked his phone for the sixth time. Where was she? She was never late! He heard the door open and turned around to see Smackle walking towards him.
"I'm so sorry I'm late love!" She said before kissing him.
"Oh it's uh fine." Farkle said. He was startled by the kiss. She usually kissed him on the cheek and even though it wasn't their first kiss on the lips, it came as a surprise to him. She sat down as Farkle tried to collect his scattered thoughts. They talked for a while and as they talked Smackle noticed that Farkle's attention was all over the place.
"Is everything alright dearest?" She asked sweetly.
"Hmm? Oh uh ya! Everything is fine." He said quickly. The truth was, everything wasn't fine! It had been three weeks since their friend group had gotten back together and it had taken Farkle some time to sort out all his emotions. As he was doing that, his feelings became even more confused. Lately, he had found himself not as in love with Smackle as he used to be. But at the same time she was his girlfriend and he still liked her. He was having mixed feelings about Riley as well. He kept thinking back to when they were younger and how he had told her he loved her, when he kissed her chin, come to think of it, that was really both of their first kisses! Because of all these scattered feelings Farkle hadn't been himself lately and found it hard to concentrate.
"I'm sorry Smackle. Since the drama with Riley, Maya, and Lucas, I've been pretty confused and my attention is pre occupied."
"It's okay Farkle. I get it." They finished up their pastries and their chat, and parted ways. Soon Farkle found himself alone, alone with his thoughts.
