Chapter 7

"You need to change Claire for me Farkle," Riley said when the gang was sitting together in Riley's living room later that day.

"Who's Claire?" Farkle asked.

"How could you not know our flour daughter?" Riley pulled the sack of flour closer to her chest and pretended to look offended.

"You named the flour?" Farkle walked over to where Riley was sitting and took a seat next to her.

"Of course I did! Who wouldn't?" Riley raised an eyebrow.

"Us," Maya raised her hand and gestured between her and Lucas.

"Will then how are you going to refer to your flour baby?" Riley asked.

"Like this," Maya turned to Lucas. "Here, take the flour."

"Come here little flour baby. She didn't mean it," Riley took the flour sack from her best friend and cradled it in her arms.

"You are taking this project way too serious Riles," Maya laughed.

"Excuse me for wanting to get a good grade," Riley pursed her lips together and looked away from Maya.

"Is something bothering you, Riles?" Maya asked.

"Why would something be bothering me?" Riley asked.

"You have just been acting weird since we left school," Maya said.

"No I haven't," Riley protested. "Can we just talk about something else? Like how hungry I am!"

"I'm pretty hungry too," Zay chimed in.

"Of course you are," Maya rolled her eyes at her boyfriend. "Are you ever not hungry?"

"You do eat a lot," Smackle chimed in.

"Don't insult me like that in front of our child," Zay gasped at Smackle and pulled the flour closer to his chest. "She didn't mean that."

"Oh not you too," Maya groaned.

"Hey," Lucas nudged Riley and she looked up into his green eyes. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah," Riley nodded. "I'm really just hungry."

"So you're okay with me working with Maya?" Lucas asked.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be? It's just a project," Riley said.

"I just wanted to make sure," Lucas said.

"Everything is all good," Riley gave him a thumbs up and turned back to look at the group. Farkle caught her eye when she turned her head and she gave him a smile. He knew something was wrong and it was up to him to get to the bottom of it.

"Why is Riley carrying around a sack of flour like it's a baby?" Auggie asked his parents at dinner that night.

"Because Auggie, it is my baby. We have to take care of a sack of flour for the first half of the school year and treat it like it is our own baby," Riley explained.

"Are you doing it with Lucas?" Topanga asked.

"No," Riley shook her head. "I got partnered with Farkle."

"So we are co-grandparents with the Minkus's?" Cory's eyes widened and he looked at Topanga.

"Who would have thought this day would ever come?" Topanga shuttered and then let out a laugh.

"This poor flour child is going to be trying to get more A's then all of you combined!" Cory exclaimed.

"Riley and I will still come out on top though. Isn't that right sweetheart?" Topanga smiled at her daughter but Riley could see she was serious.

"Uh I guess?" Riley shrugged and then looked down at the flour sack. "Don't listen to them, they are a little crazy."

"Who is Lucas working with?" Auggie asked.

"Maya," Riley said. Cory and Topanga stopped what they were doing and shared a look. "What's with that look?"

"What look?" Cory shrugged his shoulders innocently. "We didn't share a look. Did we share a look Topanga?"

"Absolutely not. We never share looks," Topanga resumed eating the food in front of her and acted like nothing happened.

"I saw you two share a look. What?" Riley asked.

"We are just worried about you since Maya and Lucas will be working together on a project so personal like this," Cory explained.

"Why should it be a big deal? It's not like they actually had a baby together," Riley shrugged as she stirred all the food together on her plate.

"As long as you are okay," Topanga raised an eyebrow at her daughter and then hesitantly looked at Cory, who just shrugged in return.

"I am just fine," Riley nodded her head and took a bite of the chicken.

"Hey Peaches," Riley greeted her blonde best friend as she crawled through the bay window. "Where's your flour sack?"

"I just dropped it off at Lucas's house," Maya said before taking a seat at the window. "Where's yours?"

"Farkle came to pick it up earlier," Riley walked over and sat next to her best friend.

"I wanted to talk to you about something," Maya said.

"What's that?" Riley asked.

"Me and Lucas working together," Maya said.

"What about it?" Riley asked.

"I wanted to make sure that you were okay with it. I know that sometimes you get insecure about us and I wanted to make sure there was going to be no weirdness with this," Maya explained.

"I don't get insecure about you two," Riley protested but both girls knew she was lying.

"Riles, you can't lie to me. I'm your best friend and I know when you're lying," Maya raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know what you want me to say?" Riley said.

"I want you to tell me that it's no big deal I'm working with Huckleberry on this project," Maya said.

"It's no big deal," Riley shrugged her shoulders.

"Are you being honest?" Maya asked.

"Maya Penelope Hart," Riley looked her best friend in the eyes. "I promise that it is no big deal and that I am not jealous."

"I don't ever want anything to come between us," Maya said.

"Nothing ever will," Riley promised. "You are my forever."

"Ring power?" Maya lifted her hand and Riley grabbed it.

"Ring power," Riley squeezed her hand tight.

"I talked to Riley," Maya said to Lucas when they were sitting at Topanga's the next day. They were waiting for their friends to show up.

"About what?" Lucas asked.

"Us," Maya gestured between the two.

"What about us? There is no us," Lucas narrowed his eyes.

"Calm down Huckleberry," Maya rolled her eyes. "I meant the project."

"Oh," Lucas relaxed. "What did she say?"

"She promised me that she was completely okay with it," Maya said.

"I don't know why she shouldn't be," Lucas said. "It's just a sack of flour."

"That's what I told her," Maya said. "It's not like you're jealous she's partners with Farkle."

"I think that's a little different," Lucas said.

"I guess," Maya shrugged and then flicked the wrapper of her straw at Lucas.

"What was that for?" Lucas narrowed his eyes and picked up the crumbled wrapper.

"You looked so serious," Maya shrugged and then gasped when he threw it back at her. "Huckleberry!"

"Not so fun huh?" Lucas smirked and the two proceeded to throw wrappers and napkins at each other, laughing the entire time. Riley walked up to the door to see the two throwing stuff at each other, laughing the entire time.

"You okay, Riles?" Farkle saw the exact same thing and looked over at the brunette who was just staring at the two.

"It's just a project, right?" Riley mumbled. Farkle wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"It's just a project," Farkle promised.
