This is the sequel to the story "Maya Hart My heart" in which Riley and Maya finally express their true feelings for each other thanks to Farkle. This is the story of what Farkle and Lucas were doing during that whole story.

Farkle was sitting on a bench after school finishing up his homework. He always finished his homework before he got home unless he had a big project or something. As he was finishing up his homework and putting his things into his backpack, he heard the voices of his friends,Riley and Maya, talking by their lockers.

"But Maya, how can I help you feel better if you don't even tell me what's bothering you?" Riley asked for the fourth time.

"Riles, I'm okay. Really. I'm always okay. You know that." Maya tried her best but Riley still wasn't convinced.

Maya wasn't okay. She was the farthest thing from okay. She was heart broken. Of course she didn't want Riley to know that, and of course she didn't want Riley to know why.

"Maya, I'm your best friend. I've been you're best friend your entire life. I can see when something has really hurt you. If you really don't want to tell me, I'll leave it alone. But please know that if you want to talk about it, I want to listen."

"I know." Maya faked a smile and walked out of the school in an attempt to get as far from Riley as she could before she started crying uncontrollably.

Riley hated worse than anything to see her best friend upset, especially if she felt she couldn't help her. Maya was a girl with many secrets. But her deepest secret was that she had actually fallen in love with someone. Maya was supposed to be this tough, rebellious, stone-hearted machine. But the truth was she was just a young girl slowly becoming a master of concealing everything she felt.

Farkle had overheard the whole thing. He too could see that Maya was hurting, and he knew why. Earlier that day, Lucas had pulled he and Maya aside to ask them something. Lucas was going to tell Riley that he liked her. He wanted Maya and Farkle's opinion on the way he planned to do it. Ever since Lucas had pulled them aside, Farkle could see that Maya's heart was shattered. He had already known all about Maya's little crush on her best friend. Plus, Farkle couldn't deny that he had a small crush on his best friend too.. He approached Riley.

"Hey, Riley." Farkle smiled apologetically.

"Hey, Farkle. You heard all that didn't you?" Riley questioned.

"Yeah, but don't worry, Riley. Maya is just afraid to let her feelings show..." Farkle trailed off as his little Minkus brain began devising a plan.

"I know, I figure if she really doesn't want to tell me, she probably has a good reason." Riley said awkwardly as Farkle began staring into space with a devious plotting look on his face.

"Farkle?" no answer.

"uh...Farkle..." still nothing.

"Okay...see ya Farkle..." Riley said as she awkwardly walked away from him.

Farkle was finally broken from his thoughts when his best friend Lucas Friar was shaking him.

"Farkle? You in there buddy?" Lucas joked.

"Oh Lucas, hi. Have you talked to Riley yet?" Farkle inquired.

"No, not yet. I decided I'm going to ask her to go out with me first. I'm going to take her somewhere romantic and tell her there." Lucas answered.

Lucas is such a sweet, romantic, polite guy. Farkle thought. If I want to help Maya and Riley, I'll have to do it soon.

"Earth to Farkle.." Lucas laughed as Farkle had spaced out again.

"Oh, sorry, Lucas. I've got a lot to think about." Farkle laughed.

"Why don't I walk with you home? It's really pouring out." Lucas offered with a kind friendly smile.

Farkle blushed and nodded yes, and the two were off.

The minute Farkle had arrived at his house, he immediately began mixing chemicals and compounds with his expensive chemistry equipment. He knew how Maya really felt, he just needed to get her to tell Riley.
