This is my first story for GMW and I hope you enjoy it. I had it looked over, but if you find any mistakes kindly let me know.
It is told from Riley's POV and it is set during Girl Meets First Date. I like to think that this is after Maya talked to her about asking Lucas.
Mentions of Lucaya, Rucas(somewhat), hints of Riarkle.


If she never asked him out Riley would have never noticed. She would have never noticed how he looked at her best friend in class. She wouldn't have noticed how they smiled at each other whenever they played their game. She wished she could just stop seeing everything like before. Like how Lucas tried to stop Farkle from saying things he shouldn't have in front of Maya just so she wouldn't get hurt.

It hurts.

Maya did notice him first too. Why did she never think about this? Was she that selfish? Is she the worst friend ever? Is she a horrible person? She sighed and sat at her bedroom window. She can't talk to Maya about this—it'll kill her. She wrapped her arms around her knees and buried her face in her arms.

"Riley?" She looked up when she heard her name. Farkle crawled through her window and sat beside her.

"Hey." She straightened herself out and smiled sweetly. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here for you to talk to?" He offered. Riley smiled and shook her head.

"I'll be fine, Farkle—I'm just thinking." He looked at her, lips set in a fine line. "I'm fine. I promise."

"I notice things, Riles." She furrowed her brows at his statement. "I know you notice them too."

"Is this…about Maya?" She worried. Did he know that that's what has been bothering her?

"Somewhat." He scooted closer to her. "You haven't been smiling like usual. I don't like it—It's not you." She chuckled.

"I'm always smiling, Farkle." She smiled to prove her point. He looked at her pointedly. "Oh—" Her smile faltered. " You do notice then." She looked at her lap.

"I notice everything about you." He grabbed her hand. "I've been noticing how you get quiet when Lucas and Maya even look at each other or when they banter." She bit the inside of her cheek.

"Am I that obvious?" She questioned. She then began to panic. "What if Maya noticed too? What if she thinks I'm a horrible friend?" She stood up and walked to the other side of her room and turned around to face Farkle. "Am I a horrible friend, Farkle? Just say that I am and I'll believe you."

"Riley, you are not a horrible friend." He stood up and walked towards her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked straight in her eyes. "I'm certain that Maya believes so too."

"You believe so?" He nodded in agreement and she hugged him. "Thank you, Farkle. I'm glad to have you as a friend." He hugged her back.

"I'm never gonna leave, Riles." He stepped back and smiled softly at her.


There will be another part to this and I have a feeling there will be more than two. I'm debating on whether I should continue with Riley's view or to switch it up. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. c:
