Hey guys… This is my first fanfiction. The first few chapters are going to be short, but I promise it will get better. I hope y'all enjoy!
Introduction
The first time Farkle declared his love for both Maya and Riley, they thought it was a little weird, but overall very sweet. However, as time went on, Farkle wouldn't stop proclaiming his love. Maya grew to find this rather annoying, but Riley… Though she would never admit it, Riley liked the feeling she got in her stomach every time she heard a squeaky voice call out, "I'm in love with Riley Matthews and Maya Hart!"
Maya was always curious as to why Riley didn't get visibly annoyed when Farkle did this. So eventually, Riley pretended that she hated it. Rolling her eyes, feigning shock at the crazy ways Farkle showed his love… But in reality, Riley loved it. She wasn't sure why. It's not like she liked Farkle like that. No. Ew. Never! When she met Lucas, Riley decided that, obviously, she should focus on him. Maybe it was to distract her from whatever Farkle made her feel, maybe just because Lucas was so pretty… But that's what she decided. So that's how the story played out.
What Riley never told anyone was how part of her had wished Farkle hadn't missed her mouth on the stage back in seventh grade. Or how she really, really appreciated his growth spurt. Or how she cried that day he officially got with Smackle, even though she didn't know why she was crying. Riley never said a word about how much she hated that Farkle didn't randomly profess his love for her anymore. She surely couldn't tell anyone that she was relieved when she thought that Maya liked Lucas, because he would obviously choose Maya, and Riley would have a reason to back off. She never told anyone how, when Lucas pulled out that ring box, she was calling Maya over in the hopes of one final escape. In short, Riley went along with how she thought the story was supposed to go… All while secretly and silently falling in love with Farkle Minkus.
Secretly, that is, until junior year of high school came around.
