It's been way too long since I posted a one-shot in here. I've had this one-shot written for awhile and tossed it to the side but decided to go ahead and post it. Sorry, it's on the short side.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes.

Enjoy!

It's Too Late

Farkle couldn't take his eyes off of her even when he felt someone sit down next to him at the picnic table.

"You're staring again."

He made himself look away from her to look at the girl sitting next to him. "I can't help it."

"Yes, you can and here I can help," she said, slamming some camping supply that still needed to be put away. "Why don't you get up and help put this stuff away instead of sitting here and daydreaming about something you can't have."

Farkle grumbled as he watched Smackle stand up. He looked around his environment and wonder what the hell he had got himself in to. He was definitely not the camping kind. His eyes wondered around at everyone doing their job to help out and his eyes stopped on her again as she helped her boyfriend set their tent up. He forced himself to look away when she looked happy and rewarded her boyfriend with a kiss and found his eyes staring into another set of eyes with fire in them as she glared at him. He watched her shake her head and walk away. He wondered what had gotten into her. He got up and started to do his job and help. It didn't take long for everything to be finished. He dust himself off and sat back down at the picnic table ready to daydream only to be stopped.

"Who wants to go for a hike before it gets dark?"

Farkle sighed as everyone jumped up for joy at the idea. Farkle never wanted to kill him more than at that moment as he got up and followed everyone.

XOXOXOX

Farkle watched as Josh let Maya lead the way up the hill because she like to be known as tough and liked to lead the way but was right behind her to catch her before she could fall. He turned his attention to Lucas and Riley with Lucas pretty much carrying Riley up the hill. He wonder what in the world they were thinking taking this crazy hike through the woods instead of following the path that was made.

"Short cut my ass," he muttered under his breath. There was a reason there was a path, but no. Him and his brilliant ideas, he thought bitterly as he glared into the back of his head.

He looked back at Smackle who was struggling a bit. He reached out his hand to help her up.

She gave him a grateful smile, blushing.

Farkle noticed her pink cheeks but quickly shrugged it off to the side. He knows Smackle has a crush on someone but doesn't know who. The next thing he knew was the group had finally reached the top and was taking in the view. He watched as the couples broke off and got loss in the view or he should say in to each other. He watched as Riley picked up a leaf showing it to Lucas to Maya and Josh smiling and stealing kiss from each other. He turned his head and followed as Smackle flopped down and took in the view by herself. He slowly walked over sitting next to her.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"It is," Farkle agreed.

Smackle took her eyes off the view to look at Farkle. "Are you always going to chase her?"

"I'm not chasing after her," Farkle argued, looking straight ahead.

"You're not?"

Farkle just shook his head, keeping his eyes straight ahead.

"Can't you see Farkle?"

Farkle scrunched his face, confusion written all of over it.

Smackle chuckled to herself, "Unbelievable. Never mind," she said, getting up and walking away.

"Smackle! No! Wait!" Farkle shouted, running after her, not caring they were leaving behind the others. "What are you talking about?"

Smackle turned around fast to glare at him. "Me!" she yelled. "I'm talking about me. Farkle, can't you see I'm standing here right in front of you, willing to give you my heart? Wanting to give you my heart!"

Farkle stared at her shock. He kept reminding himself to keep his mouth up as he opened and closed it multiple times.

"Farkle, I've been in love with you since we were in high school. Praying one day you would noticed me but that never happened and now I can see it's never going to happen." Smackle shook her head. "I'm not her," she murmured. "I'll never be her. I just wish you would give up on that fantasy you have with her. Even if you never look at me like that. I just want you to be happy and just know it isn't going to be with her. She is in love and it's not with you. She's happy and it's not with you. She is never going to be with you. You need to move pass this fantasy and be happy instead of stuck on something that is never going to happen and miserable. You're making yourself unhappy."

Smackle stared him in the eyes for a moment longer, hoping her words would sink in. She felt like a weight had been lifted on her shoulder but not only that she came to a realization about herself before she finally walked away.

"Smackle! Wait!" Farkle yelled, chasing after her. As soon as she was at arm reached, he grabbed her arm and stopped her in place.

Smackle broke out of his grip and turned to glare at him. "What? What do you want Farkle?"

Farkle stood stun, loss at words. "I...I..."

Smackle shook her head, "Don't," she told him, turning to leave again.

Farkle stopped her again and pulled her in for a long deep kiss.

Smackle pulled away, this time she was the one stunned. She ran her thumb over her lip before shaking her head. She wouldn't let him do this to her. She said her piece and she was finished. "I won't be your second choice."

"You're not-"

"I am. I'm sorry but no. We aren't going to happen."

"Smackle, I'm sorry. I was stupid and blinded by her that I couldn't see you. I know you are an amazing woman and I would be lucky to have you in my life."

Smackle once again shook her head. "I'm sorry, Farkle, but I can't. It's too late."

Farkle watched her walk away from him and knew he blew what could have been one of the best things that ever happened to him.

I'm sorry! I'm going to go run and hide ;P Get it? If not it's because you haven't checked out my new Joshaya multi-chapter story called "Run and Hide". Please do if you haven't. Chapter two of it is coming soon! Sorry to all the Smarkle fans about the ending of this one-shot. I promise to make it up to you in the future. Until next time xoxo.
