Hi! So this is Riley's letter to Lucas, being very romantic. Once again, the letter kinda went in another direction for a moment. My writing has a tendency to do that. Leave a suggestion for another love letter in your review! Hope you like it!

Dear Lucas Friar,

I don't know how to start this letter. I just want to get my feelings out. I know you like me and you know I like you but I hope when you open this letter, it will be a keepsake of our love. Maybe in a few years, you'll read this cherished paper again and you will come on a white horse and sweep me off my feet. Maya thinks I'm delusional.

I don't know why my father doesn't like you. I mean, you're one of the good kids: smart, obedient, and hard-working. You're one of the few people who apply themselves to school and basically the only one in that certain group that is very attractive. No offense to Farkle. Maybe if you didn't like me, you would be my dad's favorite. But it's a good thing you like me because I like you back.

I don't love you because you are Mr. Perfect. You kind of already proven that you're not completely perfect. But I love you because you always do the right thing. And also because you're gorgeous. If I could replay that time we first met a million times, I would never get bored. I think that moment I fell into your lap was magical, like it was the first spark between us. I should thank Maya for that.

I wish I was ready for a relationship but the peer pressure got me too soon. I really do want to be your girlfriend but I think I should stay single throughout middle school. I guess that's what my father wanted. I just realized he must've cheered that time we broke up. At least he didn't come between us. But I have a feeling if we do get back together, he would.

Let's not get negative. If I wrote a list of everything I liked about you, it would never end. I can imagine us in a romance movie; you as the broken-down heartthrob with Texan cowboy roots and me as the optimistic city girl experiencing the world for the first time. I would watch that movie a million times and never get tired of it. I would call it Girl Meets True Love. I like that title.

If you never got expelled from your old school, you would never have moved to New York, you would never have met me or Maya or Farkle, and we would have never have kissed. It's amazing how something bad can always lead to something good. I will always remember that.

I remember when we played Romeo and Juliet in that school play. Our love story is a little like that. I am thirteen, about to be fourteen, just like Juliet. You are handsome and charming, just like Romeo. We are split apart by my father who does not want us to be together (are your parents like that too because I have never met them) and we love each other still. I hope we don't end up dying in the end.

One of the best things I like about you is that you chose me. You could have had any girl in school, even the beautiful and mature Missy Bradford, but you chose me, Riley Matthews; an average girl with no special talent. What was so special about another plain face in a plethora of beautiful girls? All the other girls were prettier, smarter, and had more promise in them, but you chose me. I am kooky, hyper, easily distracted, insecure, naïve, fragile, and very awkward. You are none of those things. You don't have to be watched constantly by your family and friends because you could break at any time. I'm a china doll, Lucas, meant to be locked away, but I somehow found my way to you. And I am afraid that your sheer perfection could break me way more than the world already has.

I wish I could replay that kiss over and over in my head forever. That was my first kiss. It was probably your hundredth. You must have met more beautiful girls than I. I wonder why you had chosen me. Is there any good reason for you to settle down with me, a breakable doll? I hope you could answer these questions for me one day, but for now, let's pray that we could be together in the future, just like Romeo and Juliet hoped.

Love, Riley Matthews

Don't you just love romance? I wonder if I could write the screenplay for Girl Meets True Love. But that probably has been done already (the plot, not the title). I want to write two Farkle letters, one for Maya, and one for Riley. What do you think about that? Remember to favorite and follow! Bye! :)
