Riley wakes up to a phone call from Farkle
"so how'd it go? Riley asked him
"I asked her out"
"and" riley asks excitedly
"she said YES!"
"YAY I'm so happy for you farkle
"thanks riley, well I gotta go im meeting smackle at the mall"
"okay well have fun"
they hang up
just then there is a knock at the door
"come in" she calls
josh enters the room
"hello beautiful sister of mine" josh gives her a smile
"what do you want?" riley asks him not falling for it
"what makes you think I need something? Can't I just come in and say good morning to my little sister who I love"
"what do you want?" riley repeats
josh sighs "ok fine, Sophie's birthday is coming up and I need you to help me pick a present"
"why me she's your girlfriend"
"come on riley you know im not good at shopping, especially for girls, please, ill owe you" her brother beg
riley rolls her eyes "fine, ill help you"
"thank you, get dresses" he leaves the room
riley sighs as she gets out of bed to get ready.
At the mall
"ok so what does Sophie like" riley asks her brother
"ok if I knew that I wouldn't need you" josh answers
"josh do you know anything about your girlfriend?"
"of course I do" josh answers defensively
"okay whats your favorite color?"
josh thinks "I don't know"
"favorite candy?"
"I don't know"
"favorite flower?"
"ok so I don'tknow the little things, no big deal" josh shrugs
"josh, knowing the little things makes the girl know you care about them because you care enough about them to remember them" riley explains
josh takes in what his little sister is saying
"I guess I never thought of it that way" josh admits
"maybe you just haven't met the right girl yet" riley smiles at her brother
"maybe" josh agrees
"how about a bracelet" riley suggests as they continue walking through the store
Few days later at school
Riley and maya are at their lockers riley looks over and sees lucas who is at his locker talking to his friends, his eyes meet riley's and he smiles and waves at her. She smiles back
"looks like things are going well between you too" maya smirks
"shut up " riley blushes and turns back to her locker
"have you talked to him lately?' maya asks
"nope" riley says sadly. She hadn't even seen lucas since the movie night.
"well why don't you go up and talk to him" maya suggests
"in front of everybody? Are you crazy?" riley asks wide eyed
maya rolls her eyes at her friend
"come on riley, he is obviously interested in you"
"how do you know that?" riley asks
"oh come on its obvious the way he looks at you" maya insists
riley would like to think that it is true and lucas was interested but she knew it was too good to be true. Guys like lucas don't fall for girls like her.
Farkle approaches them
"ladies"
"Farkle" both girls say
"so I hear you got a date" maya says smirking at her other best friend
"yes, that is true, Isadora and I are going out on Saturday." Farkle says kind of excited
both girls were both happy for their friend but they were also a bit jealous, they wished that they could be happy with the person they liked as well.
Across the hall
Josh walks up to his friends with an annoyed look
"so what sophie do now?" lucas asked knowingly
"she wants to go out on Saturday but I have to work on my portfolio for my photography project" josh tells his friends
"dude if she makes you so unhappy, why are you with her?" zay asks
josh sighs " we weren't always this way, we actually used to have fun but I feel like she's changed" josh explains to his friends
"maybe you're the one that's changed?" lucas suggests
"what do you mean?"josh asks
"maybe you've just matured and are looking for something different" lucas explains
josh took in what lucas was saying. He may have a point. Sure in the beginning it was fun but after a while of dating he realized he and sophie had nothing in common. Whenever he tried to talk to her about his photos or even football practices she never seemed interested, she always wanted to talk about herself or clothes or she would just complain about people and josh was starting to get annoyed by it , He needed more, someone who was actually interested in him and what he liked and who shared some of those interests.
"maybe" josh agrees
