Chapter 10: Little Moments

Riley's P.O.V.

When my father finally accepted the fact that Lucas and I would be together, I was nothing but happy. Lucas and I have been together for almost 2 months, and we haven't had too many problems, but the only problem is that all of the girls (excluding Maya) are all over him. Once, we were walking down the hall and one of the girls totally pushed me down and was all over Lucas. Lucas pushed the girl away and came to my side. I guess Lucas and I aren't going to be the couple that barely runs into problems. All I know is that I love Lucas. I'm glad I have him in my life. I don't know what I'd do without him. There were little moments when we'd get into an argument, but we'd soon makeup.

Lucas's P.O.V.

When Riley's father finally accepted the fact that I was dating his daughter, I couldn't have been any happier. The only person that can make me happier than that day was my beautiful girlfriend Riley Matthews. I could tell you all about her. She's nice, beautiful, shy, quirky, sweet, smart, funny, and most of all, she's Riley. I wouldn't trade the world for her. If I was offered billions of dollars to give up Riley, I would decline. I love Riley. I'm glad I finally worked up the nerve to ask her out. When we get into little arguments, we makeup as soon as we can. I think the longest argument we had was when Riley was sick. She had asked me to stop by after school. I tried to get away from school as fast as I could, but someone stopped me. Missy Bradford. I know why Riley doesn't like her. After about ten minutes of trying to get away, Maya came and distracted Missy that one of my brothers were here and that they were in Mr. Matthews's classroom. Thank God for Maya. When I finally got to Riley's apartment, she was in bed, but her eyes were red and puffy. I knocked on her window, in which that startled her, and then she came and let me into her room. We got into an argument, and I still don't know why we did. I'd do anything for Riley.

No One's P.O.V.

On the first Monday of October, the kids of John Quincy Adams Middle School came flooding into the doors. Riley and Lucas were hand in hand. After Lucas put his books away, he went to Riley's locker and waited for her to get her books. After she got her books, they went to Mr. Matthews's classroom. The curtains were pulled to, so no one could see inside the classroom. Lucas and Riley talked until Cory arrived. He questioned them. The day went by fast, so Riley and Lucas made plans to hang out at her place that weekend.

Finally, Friday came, so the couple headed to Rosie's to eat with Maya and Farkle. They ordered the special that they had. They talked for a little while. After everyone finished, they headed to Riley's apartment. Since Riley's parents and her little brother, Auggie, had gone to the movies to see Frozen, the four friends decided to watch Brother Bear and Brother Bear 2. Maya was spending the night at Riley's that weekend, so she went upstairs along with Riley to change into their pajamas. The boys went to their apartments and put on their pajamas and made their way back to Riley's apartment. So, they sat in their pajamas and watched movies until all of them had crashed. Riley and Lucas were on the couch, and Maya was laying down in the recliner. Farkle had crashed in the lounge chair. Thirty minutes later, Cory and Topanga quietly came in and found everyone asleep. Auggie had crashed in the car. They took Auggie to his room and tucked him in bed. Since it was 8:00, they decided to call Farkle and Lucas's parents and told them that they had crashed at his place. They agreed that they could stay.

In the middle of the night, Lucas woke up to find Riley laying down with her head on his shoulder and her fingers laced with his. She looked so peaceful to Lucas. He went back to sleep. That morning, everyone woke to the smell of bacon, eggs, sausage, and biscuits. After everyone had finished eating, the boys went home to change. The girls ran upstairs to change into some clothes to go to town. The boys arrived just as the girls were coming down the stairs. Lucas looked at Riley and smiled while Farkle looked at Maya and smiled. Lucas grabbed Riley's hand when all of the sudden, a shout came from the kitchen.

"Hands off, Friar!" yelled Cory. Cory was feeling a bit playful today, so he decided to have some fun.

"Sorry I make you uneasy, sir," Lucas said turning to face Cory. "Friar, no funny business," Cory said. Riley turned a deep shade of red at that moment and dragged her boyfriend out of the room before her face looked like cherries. They went to the mall. The boys went to Hollister's and the girls went to Pink Anchor. Lucas bought a light-blue button up shirt. Farkle bought a red collared shirt. Maya bought a pair of golden shorts with a white top and white leggings. She also bought a pair of gold-colored shoes. Riley bought a white lacy dress with a pair of tan strappy wedges. When she came out of the dressing room, Maya was shocked at how beautiful her best friend was in that outfit.

"Let me take a picture on your phone," said Maya. Riley handed Maya her phone. Maya took a few pictures of Riley wearing the dress and gave Riley back her phone. The one thing that she did while Riley was changing was that she got her phone and sent the picture to Lucas. Lucas got the picture immediately. He didn't open the message though because he had to try on a pair of khakis and the blue button-up shirt with a pair of dress shoes. When he came out, Farkle got Lucas's phone and took a few pictures for Lucas. While Lucas was changing, Farkle looked at some of the turtlenecks that were on sale. Lucas came back out of the dressing room and bought his outfit. They then waited outside Pink Anchor for the girls to come out.

Lucas pulled out his phone and saw that there was a message from Riley. He unlocked his phone and saw a picture of Riley wearing a white lacy dress with some beautiful tan strappy wedges. Riley was arguing with Maya about her sending that picture to Lucas. That was before her phone buzzed. Riley looked down at her phone and saw that there was a message from Lucas. She gave Maya the death glare. She handed Maya her shoes and dress and gave her some money so she could pay for it. Riley opened the message. He had sent her a rate and about 10 faces with hearts as eyes. Also, he had sent her kissy faces. She smiled at his message. She actually blushed a little, causing some of the customers to give her a weird look. She and Maya walked out of Pink Anchor and ran into their boyfriends. They all exchanged their greetings. Maya and Farkle went into another store while Lucas and Riley went into a jewelry store. Riley had talked Lucas into walking with her. She was looking at birthstone rings. She finally found her birthstone and asked Lucas to come over there.

"This ring is so beautiful!" she shrieked with excitement.

"Just like you," Lucas replied wrapping his arms around her. He pulled her in for a kiss when someone cleared their throat behind them.

Who is it? Could it be Riley's father? A customer? Missy? Find out in my next chapter!
