Today, it was the day I broke up for the Christmas holidays, that was before I needed some kind of miracle to protect the one I loved, which was, Riley Matthews. I couldn't let anything happen to her.

Since, she was my very first crush in the third grade, and then, Lucas came into the picture.

Believe me, I was jealous, up until the moment I saw her crying on the stairs, and asked her if she was alright.

"No," she cried. "I'm not alright, Farkle."

" why?" I asked, wanting to know.

"Because I saw Maya flirting with the boy I wanted to date so badly," she told me. "But I guess I was too little too late."

"Riley," I called. "You never really were too late. Bad things happen."

"How are you so sure?" She asked me, when Maya came over, Riley got up and walked away.

"What's with her?" She asked me.

"You," I yelled. "You stole her future boyfriend."

"She thinks I stole her future boyfriend, Lucas?" She asked, curiously. "Whom we met on the train?"

"Yeah," I replied, as the bell rang, it was home time.

"Hi dad," I sighed, entering the house.

"Hi, Riley," he said, reading his news paper. "What happened at school today?"

How was I going to tell him that I saw Maya flirting with the boy I loved? I couldn't tell that I was upset, but I guess I had to.

"I saw Maya flirting with the boy I loved," I told him. "And I was upsetting, and decided to call it quits."

Basically, that part was true.

"What did she do?" Mum asked me.

"She did the girlie thing with her hair," I replied. "And told Lucas that I wasn't worth it."

"Oh, Sweetie," Dad said. "Don't lesson to her. Because you are worth it."

"I know," I answered. "But afterwards, Farkle, came over and started to talk to me,"

"Okay," he just said, as I went upstairs.

I throw my bag on the bed and sat by the bay window, when I heard a knock on my window, and closed the window.

"I'm not talking to you, Maya," I yelled. "Cause I got nothing to say to you."

She banged on the window again.

"I want to talk to you," she whined. "Why won't you let me in?"

"You said I wasn't worth it," I shouted. "Why should I let you in?"

"Cause," she inhaled. "I'm sorry,"

"Sorry, isn't going to cut it this time," I said, hollowly. "And you weren't there for me. You don't have the nerve to speak to me."

"I guess we're not friends anymore," she said.

"I guess we're not," I said, as Farkle came into the room.

"What she doing here?" He asked.

"She was just leaving," I told him.

"Yeah," she sighed. "I guess I was."

Then she left.

"What was it about this time?" He asked, wanting to know.

"Nothing," I replied. "We're not friends anymore."

"Oh," he just said

I remembered what he told me before, was that, he had loved me since the third grade, could he be right?

Or was it a lie?

Or could I had missed it, when I realised that I had a crush on him too?

"I remembered what you told me," I started. "You said you loved me since the first grade, right?"

"Yeah," he answered. "That was before you had a crush on Lucas."

"What if I said that I had a crush on you to?" I asked.

"W-well," he stuttered. "I-i mean... Wow."

That was the first time I actually told him, when we were distracted by a knock on the window, we just ignored it.

"So," I said.

"So," He said, leaning into kiss me.

This has been my first ever kiss, and I felt my whole enter world shift beneath me.

"I love you, Riley," he said, cuddling me, and I hugged him back.

"I love you too," I replied, as he kissed me again.

I still tried to apologize to Riley, on what happened between me and Lucas, but she decided, to end her friendship with me.

"Mum," I said, crying.

"Yes," she asked, taking me into her arms.

"Me and Riley had a fight," I told her, sobbing.

"What over?" She asked.

"Over a boy we met on the train," I replied. "But now, she's not talking to me. I asked if I could come in, and now, she won't let me in. All because I flirted with Huckleberry, but now, I lost hope, cause I thought, she would want talk to me at the bay window, and she's not talking to me. I don't know what I did to make her hate me so much."

"She'll come round," she told me. "You'll see. She's a very forgiving person."

"But what if she won't forgive me?" I asked her. "She's been there for me when I had no-one to do my homework."

"Maybe," she sighed. "She's tired of living in your shadow."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"She wants some space," she answered. "To herself, and just maybe, in time, she'll want to be your friend again, don't give up."

"Why shouldn't I give up?" I asked.

"Cause," she inhaled. "There might be a miracle in yous becoming friends again."

"Oh," was all I could say.

But I was worried about Lucas, what if he knows that we're not friends anymore? He won't have to know what happened.

Then, the next day, I went into school, I saw Lucas standing out side his front door and slammed it shot, then walked up to me, when I ran into his arms.

"Maya," he said, softly. "I heard you and Riley had a fight. Everybody's been talking about it."

Busted. I knew he would know what had happened.

"Yeah," I answered. "We did. And now we're not friends anymore."

"So that explains it," he sighed. "Everyone is now pointing their fingers at you, after you flirted with me, and now, we're going out with each other."

"What do you mean?" I asked, as Riley walked passed me, holding hands with Farkle.

"Never mind," I said.

What did she mean by never mind? I just told her everyone's pointing their fingers at her, when Riley walked passed with Farkle.

"What did you mean?" I asked her.

"What I meant to say, if we're dating now," she replied. "There's no point in faking it to everyone. Riley even knows I love you anyway."

"Why are you bringing the girl who iisn't your friend anymore, Maya?" I asked.

I had to ask, and now I'm in for it.

"Cause," she breathed deeply. "I trust her."

"But does she trust you?" I asked.

"No," she sighed. "Not anymore. I lost her trust."

Then she started crying, and I couldn't hold back, so I pulled her into my arms.

"Maya," I said, putting her head under my chin, and stroking her hair. "It's okay. There is..."

"Hope?" She questioned. "Why does everyone keep saying that?"

She was really upset, but I couldn't help, but even notice, that what ever happened, must been because of me. I ruined their friendship, and I was worried about Maya, cause I was her only friend and boyfriend in the world right now.

"I don't know," I replied. "But what I do know, is that, I am your only friend in the world, and boyfriend in the world."

"Oh," was all she could say, and I moved her chin, so she could at me, and I leaned forward to kiss her on the lips, and she kissed me back. I'll always love her.

"I love you, Maya," I told her.

"I love you too, Lucas," And with that I kissed her.

"So," I said. "I guess that kiss was unexpected. Wasn't it?"
