Author's Note: I know that Lucas and Riley are supposed to be together based on the show. But, I feel that Farkle and Riley would be cute together. Since they share so many traits together, I feel that they should be together. Sorry for such a short first chapter, but the next one will be longer. Please review if you have a chance! Thanks!


Riley and Maya were standing by their lockers talking and getting their books out. Farkle walked up to them. "Hello Ladies," he greeted them with a smile.

"Farkle," they responded in unison.

"What are you doing tonight Riley?" He asked.

Riley shrugged at his comment. "I might be working on math later." She rather enjoyed learning and doing homework like that.

Turning to Maya, he asked, "What about you?"

With a blank look, Maya asked, "Why?"

"Well, tonight, I have this awards assembly and I was wondering if either of you would like to go with me to it?" He asked them, awkwardly.

Both girls exchanged worried glances, before Maya asked, "And, why do you need one of us to go with you?"

"I go to it annually, and I'd like one of you to be my date."

Riley blushed after Farkle asked them. She exchanged a nervous glance at Maya.

With a sigh, he turned around. "It's alright ... I guess I'll have to go by myself..."

Riley argued with herself mentally. I ought to go. I met his friends already and they were nice to me, despite how awkward I might have acted. They accepted me for being a geek, just like them, which was probably his intention. Although I like Lucas, Farkle is sweet to me. He does try to help me a lot, and I do care about him. He is my friend, after all. I should help him. Finally succumbing to her thoughts, she just had to say it now.

"Wait," Riley exclaimed. "I'll go with you. I mean, you've helped me so much, and well, I - I wouldn't mind being your date for the award assembly tonight." She looked over at Maya, who had a thankful look on her face.

"Thanks Riley. I'll stop by later to pick you up. Maybe at 7?" Winking at the brunette, he walked away with his hands up in the air victoriously.

After Farkle walked away, Maya looked over at Riley. "You have a date with Farkle," she teased.

"Yeah," Riley said with a blush on her cheeks. "But, I mean, it can't be bad, right?"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night," Maya quipped.
