Trying To Keep A Secret

Maya was concerned about her best friend. The reason: she turned down hanging out to study. Sure, Riley was a good student but that didn't mean she would choose to study. That was something only Farkle would do. What has gotten into her?

"Maya?" Lucas asked, waving a hand in her face. "Is everything ok?"

"Yeah", Mr. Matthews said. "You looked spaced out for a second there Maya."

Maya shook herself out of her reverie. "I'm fine. I just want to go to Topanga's and hang out."

Lucas shrugged and said, "Let's go."

Then Lucas and Maya left the classroom.

At Topanga's, Maya's thoughts were centered on Riley and her strange behaviour. Was it a guy? Riley did mention that she was in a relationship. It's possible he's a nerd. Why else would she enlist Farkle's help? She's changing herself for the sake of a guy! I ought to -

"Maya"! Lucas exclaimed, bringing her out of her thoughts.

"What?" Maya said gruffly. "I'm not in the greatest of moods today Huckleberry."

"I can tell", Lucas said. "Does it have anything to do with the fact that our two friends are dating?"

"They're not dating!" Maya exclaimed, clearly in denial. "They said so themselves. They're just friends. That being said, they need to redefine their boundaries as friends."

"Maya, they're dating", Lucas said. "You're just being delusional."

"Fine", Maya said. "I will pay for our smoothies for a month if they're dating."

Lucas smiled and shook her hand. "Deal."

Maya smiled back. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have two people that I need to talk to." Then she left for Riley's house.

Riley and Farkle were studying when Maya came through the window. "Riles, we need to talk, NOW!"

"But I'm studying with Farkle", Riley responded.

"Ring Power!" Maya exclaimed. "Farkle, get out!"

"Ok", Farkle said. Then he hugged Riley and headed out.

"What did you want to talk about?" Riley asked Maya.

"You're so called 'relationship' and Farkle", Maya said.

"What about them?" Riley asked.

"First off, I don't think your relationship is an actual thing", Maya stated confidently. "You just said that because you're not over my boyfriend."

Riley sighed. I'm over Lucas! "How many times do I have to say this?" I'm over Lucas and dating someone else!"

"Can I know who this person is?" Maya asked skeptically.

Riley took a deep breath and said, "Maya. You're not ready to know who it is yet. Just know that he's a great guy and treats me well."

"Lucas is a great guy", Maya pointed out. "Are you sure you still don't have feelings for him?"

Riley looked Maya directly in the eyes and said calmly, "Yes Maya. I don't have any feelings whatsoever for Lucas. I think you two are great together."

Maya took note of the unwavering conviction in Riley's voice and her deliberate eye contact. She really was over Lucas Friar. But who's the new guy in her life that isn't named Lucas Friar or Charlie Gardner? I need to know! Time to ask Riley. "So, who's your boyfriend?"

"You can't know yet", Riley said sheepishly. "We're not exactly official yet."

"Riley sweetie", Maya said. "Don't make the make mistake you did with Lucas. Give it time. Once you get past the awkward phase, everything will be fine."

"Oh, I plan to make things official", Riley stated. "Things are a bit crazy right now, though."

"Promise me you'll tell me first and not Farkle?" Maya asked.

"I promise", Riley said.

"Can you also promise not to change your personality because you're in a relationship?" Maya asked.

"Why would I change my identity?" Riley asked. "I'm comfortable being who I am around him, Maya. That shouldn't be a problem."

"Good", Maya said approvingly. Then the two best friends hugged each other.

After a few minutes, Maya said, "Speaking of Farkle, that's another subject we need to talk about."

"What is there to talk about Maya?" Riley asked. "We're just friends."

"So friends can give each other pecks on the lips?" Maya asked incredulously. "Riley, you and I both know that isn't true. What aren't you telling me?"

That Farkle and I have secretly decided to date behind your back, Riley thought to herself. No one will know…..yet. "Nothing Maya. That's my story. Farkle and I are just friends."

"What about your 'unofficial boyfriend'?" Maya asked. "Is he cool with this arrangement?"

"Yeah", Riley said flippantly. "He's fine with it. As long as we're not full on making out, it's alright with him."

This girl isn't getting it! Maya thought angrily. What boyfriend allows friends to brush lips? "Look Riley", Maya started. "If I found out Lucas had this type of arrangement with you, I would be furious with him!"

"But it's me and Farkle", Riley pointed out. "Whatever we do is our business. We'll be alright."

Maya sighed. "You're right. This is between you, Farkle and your boyfriend. If this blows up in your face, don't come crying to me."

"I won't ", Riley said confidently. "Everything will work out in the end."

Then the two friends continued to talk for the rest of the day.

Meanwhile, Farkle decided to head to Topanga's. He really needed a smoothie. Why? Because he was deliriously happy. His dream girl had asked him out and they were officially an item! He was on top of the world!

His mood did not go unnoticed by Lucas or Katy. As Farkle walked up to both of them, he said, "Isn't it a great day?"

"It sure is Farkle", Lucas remarked. "You seem a lot happier."

"Yup", Farkle smiled. "Life couldn't be any better."

"Anything interesting happen?" Katy asked curiously.

"I may have a girlfriend on the horizon", Farkle confessed.

"Oooh", Katy gushed. "Who is she?"

"We're not saying anything until we make it official", Farkle said.

"Good", Katy said approvingly. "That's a good way of going about relationships. It's better than what Riley and Lucas did."

"I'm sitting right next to you", Lucas pointed out.

"Right", Katy said. "I really need to work on my interactions with people. I just don't connect with most people; not even Maya."

"I'm sure it will come with time", Farkle said reassuringly. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to head back home."

"You don't want anything Farkle?" Katy asked.

"No thanks Mrs. Hart", Farkle said. "I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I've got plenty of homework to do."

"I thought you were helping Riley study", Lucas observed.

"Yeah, I was", Farkle pointed out. "We finished and now I have to go home and do my homework."

"Oh ok", Lucas responded. With that, Farkle left.

As soon as he left, Katy asked Lucas, "What was that all about?"

Lucas shrugged. "You'll find out soon enough, Mrs. Hart." I'm counting on it.
