Riley, Maya, Lucas, and Farkle all sat around a table at Topanga's sipping on whipped cream topped smoothies together
The four were all laughing at Farkle for his impression of Janitor Harley
"That was pretty spot on, Farkle," Lucas chuckled
"Do you want to see my impression of Vladamir Putin?"
"Riley, look at that cute boy sitting over there," Maya said as she nodded her head to the back corner of the cafe.
"Whoa, he is cute. And look, he's even drinking black coffee.." Riley responded.
The two stared at the boy with short dark hair, a navy blue shirt, and dark wash jeans sitting in the corner. He was intently reading a book while occasionally taking a sip of his coffee. Riley and Maya smiled at each other and then turned to continue looing at the mysterious cute boy sitting in the corner
"He's probably reading something intellectual..." Riley said as she rested her face on her hand and sighed.
"Probably something like Shakespeare..." Maya said also resting her face in her hand.
The mysterious boy in the corner took a sip of his coffee and and turned his head to where the group was sitting. Maya and Riley immediately dropped their glances to stare at their smoothies on the table in front of them.
"Maya, I think he saw us!" Riley whispered worriedly as she continued to stare down at the table.
"Riley, it's not like Cute Boy is ever going to talk to us anyway. We have nothing to worry about." Maya responded casually
"What are you worrying about?" Lucas asked. Lucas and Farkle were now staring at Riley and Maya trying to figure out what the conversation was about
"Nothing! We are just minding our own business, not staring at anybody, drinking our smoothies..." Riley said flipping her hair over her shoulder and turning her shoulder away from the cute boy in the corner
"Whatever you say..." Lucas responded
"I'm hungry, do you girls want anything to eat from the counter?" Farkle asked
"I'm okay. Thanks, Farkle," Maya responded
"Riley, do you want anything?" Lucas asked with a smile.
"The usual?" Riley asked with a grin.
"Apple cinnamon muffin top for you, muffin bottom for me," Lucas said as he and Farkle walked toward the counter to order their food
"I think Cute Boy is coming over here!" Maya said.
"Act casual!" Riley said. The two girls flipped their hair over their shoulders and put their feet up on the table.
"Hi, I couldn't help but notice you from over there. My name is Stephen, what's yours?" he said with a beautiful smile and his hand stretched out toward Riley. Riley smiled and stared into his hazel eyes
"Riley? Riley!" Maya said staring quizzically at her friend. Riley finally blinked coming out her daze and blushed.
"Riley! My name is Riley," she said putting her hand out to shake Stephen's
"Maya. Pleased to meet you, Stephen," Maya said with a smile and her hand stretched out
Stephen shook Maya's hand. Lucas and Farkle came back to the table. Farkle carrying a scone and Lucas with two plates of muffin
"Who's this?" Lucas sternly said as he put the two plates down on the table. Farkle sat down and Farkle, Maya, and Riley all looked up at what was sure to be a confrontation between Lucas and Stephen.
"This is uhm... Stephen. We just met," Riley said standing up between the two boys. Lucas kept his gaze locked on Stephen
"Is this your boyfriend? I've seen you here before and you're really cute but I don't want to intrude on anything..." Stephen said now looking at Riley. Riley looked down at her feet and took in a deep breath. Then, she looked up at Lucas, hoping he could answer her question but instead he sat down at the table and looked down
"No, we're just friends. That's all we've ever been..." Riley said to Stephen.
"In that case, can I take you out to a movie sometime?" Stephen said taking Riley's hand.
"Yeah, I'd really like that," Riley said as she smiled at Stephen.
