It was a normal Friday when Lucas decided he was finally going to ask Riley out. He has been waiting for this moment since Riley fell on to his lap on the subway, and now it was finally going to happen.
"Just go up to her and say 'hey Riley, want to go to a movie or something tomorrow?' she'll say yes," Farkle explained to Lucas.
"What if she says no?," Lucas worried.
"She won't, she likes you and you know that," Farkle explained.
"I don't know that for sure Farkle," Lucas replied.
"Yo cowboy, you must be obilvious to the world if you don't realize she likes you," Maya said looking at Riley who was just walking towards them.
"Riley likes what?," Riley asked curiously.
"Nothing!," came out of everyones mouth.
"Okay? So what are you guys doing tomorrow?," Riley asked everyone.
"Yeah, Lucas, what are you doing tomorrow?," Maya asked obviously knowing he was going to ask Riley to go out tomorrow.
"Nothing, Maya," Lucas replied angrily.
"Woah, Lucas, are you okay?," concern taking over Riley's voice.
He instantly smiled at Riley, he loved when she showed love and caring for her friends. "Yeah I'm fine, perfect actually," he told her. Riley blushed a little then smiled.
"So you guys want to go to the bakery after school?," Farkle questioned.
"Yeah," the three of them sang in unison.
"Great, everyone meet at Maya's locker before school ends," Farkle explained to all of them.
"Sounds good Farkle," Maya said.
"Yep, sounds good," Riley and Lucas both said at the same time, followed by a light blush and both of them looking straight into each others eyes. Their friends smirked at the two and smiled at each other admiring their best friends actions.
Lucas and Riley were interrupted by Farkle asking them, "Shall we go to class?"
"Yeah we should," Riley answered getting one last glance (and smile) at Lucas before following Farkle and Maya to class.
Lucas and Riley hung back a little bit and took their time walking to the next class (Which was Cory's class) they were talking and sharing laughs. The two have really hit it off well ever since the no cell phone assignment, and they are starting to connect more and more each day.
Both of them had feelings for each other and had a feeling the other one liked them, but they didn't know for sure.
When they got to class Maya and Riley took their seats and so did Lucas and Farkle.
Since it wasn't the beginning of class yet, Farkle passed a note to Lucas
When are you going to ask her out?
-Farkle
Lucas wrote back
When the time is right
-Lucas
But the time is right...NOW
-Farkle
I haven't asked her dad yet
-Lucas
He'll be fine with it
-Farkle
Really? Cause he doesn't really like me that much
-Lucas
Well you better get his permission soon, if u want to ask her out for tomorrow
-Farkle
I know that, I just don't know when
-Lucas
I happen to know Mr. Matthews has a prep next so you can talk to him about it after class, you won't be missing anything because we have study hall next
-Farkle
I'll ask to stay behind after this period to talk to him, hopefully he'll say yes
-Lucas
Good luck to you man
-Farkle
Thanks, why are you helping me anyway. I thought you loved Riley
-Lucas
To be honest, I love Maya more than I love Riley. There is just something about her that's special, it's different from Riley.
Why do you like Riley?
-Farkle
That's nice. I feel something special whenever I'm with her, it's like I'm complete. She makes me feel like I'm important, like she rather talk to me than do anything else. She's just...I don't know...special. She makes me feel something nobody has made me feel before
-Lucas
After Farkle read this he gave Lucas a smile and then turned to the bored waiting for Mr. Matthews to come in. Little did Farkle (and Lucas) know that Maya and Riley were passing a note too until they stopped passing theirs.
Maya wrote to Riley (a little bit after Lucas and Farkle started passing notes)
Do you think cowboy will ever ask you out?
-Maya
When Riley Read this she blushed but then wrote back
I don't know, he might like me but I'm not 100% sure he does
-Riley
Come on Riley, you'd have to be oblivious to think he might not like you
-Maya
You never know if he could or not. He might just think of me as a friend
-Riley
What about 'My moment will be my moment'?
-Maya
You've got a point there but you should never assume
-Riley
When Maya got this she rolled her eyes and wrote back
What do you even see in him?
-Maya
I don't know...there's just something about him that makes me feel special, like he wouldn't rather do anything else but be with me there, like nothing else matters. I get the same exact feeling, nothing else matters when I'm with him. He makes me feel something no one else has made me feel before. And I really like it
-Riley
When Maya read this she smiled at her best friend. She was still the same innocent Riley she's always been but Maya could tell, she's developed real feelings and she now knew how to feel, not like when she first met Lucas. Now she knew the emotions she was feeling, even if she couldn't describe them
