Enter Farkle and Smackle
"Farkle called me last night." Riley informed Maya when they sat down at the student lounge.
"Really? What did he want to talk about?" Maya hadn't really heard all that much from Farkle or Smackle since they moved to New Haven to go to Yale. She couldn't deny though that she missed them, it just wasn't the same without the genious duo.
"apparently he was considering a transfer, well both of them were."
"You told him that that was a terrible idea right? They've worked so hard for their entire life to get into one of the contry's best universities, they shouldn't throw all that away just for us."
"Just for you?" Farkle asked from behind her. Maya squeaked in surprise. "You're making it sound like we're getting the short end of the stick." Maya jumped up to give Farkle a hug.
"not that I'm not happy to see you, because I am, I really am, but why are you here? Don't tell me that you've already made the transfer?"
"not yet, although we are pretty certain that we're going through with it." Maya heard Smackle say from behind her.
"Smackle! You're here too?" Maya held out her arms to her and gave Smackle a hug. Every time Maya hugged Msackle she was amazed at how the timid girl who froze up every time someone came close to her had changed.
"Yeah, I needed to check out NYU for myself, there are a few selling points that I had to see for myself before deciding whether I wanted to do this transfer or not."
"and now that you've seen them what do you think?"
"Oh, we are definitely doing this." Smackle stated.
"Are you really sure about this?" Maya asked them both. "I want you guys here and all, but you're at Yale. You're losing your opportunity to go to an excellent school, graduating from Yale basically means that you're set for life."
"We know, we are the geniuses after all. Don't worry though, we are still going to be graduating from Yale." Farkle told her, "we just found another way to do that, you see there are some benefits to being geniuses, you can do things your way."
"I'm still not following."
"we have the opportunity to take our degrees online and still graduate from Yale, but we wanted to take some extra courses that we felt would be more rewarding if we took them here. So we aren't throwing away anything if that's what you are afraid of Maya, we're just doing things our way."
"if that's the case then I'm all for it,"
"I told you Farkle," Riley said giggling.
"Well this calls for a celebration." Maya said, "We're going to Topanga's"
It took some time, but after an hour the entire group, now two members bigger sat at Topanga's. Josh had jumped at the idea of going to Topanga's when Maya had suggested it, but he was a little bit disappointed when Maya told him that they wouldn't be alone. His disappointment vanished almost immediately though when he head the reason. He wasn't that close to Farkle himself and he barely knew Smackle at all, but they were some of Maya's closest friends and that made them important to him too. He wasn't quite sure whether he would be intruding on them or not, but Maya assured him that they all wanted him there so he decided to tag along. Riley invited Emily too so by the end of it Daimon ended up getting dragged into the mess as well.
"So I see that some things have changed during these past few months." Farkle commented when they sat down. He'd been introduced to Daimon and Emily and he immediately decided that he liked them, but what was more surprising was Maya and Josh. Sure Farkle knew that Maya and Josh had feelings for each other all those years ago, but he was surprised at how comfortable they now seemed acting like a couple out in public.
"Yeah, a lot has changed." Maya said pulling Josh a little closer, "turns out we were ready, we just needed Daimon to give us a little push."
"A little?" Daimon commented. "a little push is locking someone in a closet together, what I did was way more than a little push. If a little push is like getting hit by someone riding a bike, then what I did was run over you with a freaking school bus!"
"Yeah, maybe you shouldn't talk so loudly like that." Maya gestured to the counter where her mom was eyeing them with an amused look.
"figuratively mrs. Hart, I meant it figuratively." Daimon almost shouted so that he was sure Katy heard him. The only only response that she made though was merely to raise her eyebrows.
"Smooth Daimon." Josh said cracking up.
"Well forget about that." Daimon said eager to change the topic. "When are you guys moving?"
"We have to go back this weekend, My dad is driving us up so that we can get all our stuff and then we're going to begin here next week.."
"So you're staying here for the rest of the week then?" Lucas asked. "You up for a gaming night tonight then? I\m sure I could get Zay to join us over skype as well."
"Yeah sure, but I didn't think that you were all that into games. Have you quit sports or something?"
"No, but I miss hanging out with my best friend and I figured I would have a better shot at you saying yes if asked you for a gaming night rather than going to a football game or something like that."
"Usually that would be true, but by this point it's been so long that I think I would say yes no matter what it was." Farkle admitted.
"Damn, should have gone for the football game thing." Lucas sighed as the rest of the table started laughing.
Wow I am terrible right? So sorry about my roughly two months of hiatus, I am going to try to get back into this story again I promise. These months have been crazy, between good and bad stuff going on in my life I just haven't managed to sit down to write a chapter for you. I am editing my very own original story that I am hoping to be able to publish and it is proving to take up quite a bit of time. on top of that I also resently started my first year at UiS For those of you who are from Norway you should know where that is. My point is that I am incredibly busy most of the time, but I will still try to make time for this story.
I have to give some major credits to some of the people who seem to post a review of every chapter I put out here. With me deleting a chapter because it was temporary you all ended up unable to post a review of the new one as yourselves, but still you managed to find solutions. Some of you logged of and posted anonymously and one of you even sent me a pm. you guys make my day. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you and to thank you. I probimse that I will do my best to ensure that it does not happen again.
