When Mr. Matthews's class was over, Riley stood and waited for Lucas to come to her side. Once again, they linked arms to walk through the hallways. Farkle joined them.

"So what are you going to write about?" Riley asked Lucas.

"Well, I would say that I'd write about you, but I don't want your dad to get the wrong idea," he said, chuckling.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Riley, if I wrote about you, it would end up having a lot of my feelings in there. And I don't really want him to think badly of me because of how much I love you."

Riley's heart instantly melted and she said, "Aww!" as she stood on her tiptoes to give him a quick kiss. "I love you too," she said, wrapping her arms around him in a hug.

"No PDA!" Farkle shouted loudly. "Unless you want me to get your father…" Farkle teased from the classroom door.

Riley rolled her eyes playfully. There's no way he'd ever stop with the "your-dad's-the-teacher" jokes.

Riley and Lucas went to the bench in between their classrooms and sat together.

"Farkle, are you coming?" Riley asked.

"Yeah, I'm just waiting for Maya."

"What's she doing in there still anyway?" Riley asked.

"I don't know," Farkle said. "But I'm not going to interrupt."

"Hmm," Lucas said. "She's probably trying to come up with some more insults," he laughed.

"Well she needs them," Riley said. "After all, you always win."

"I do, don't I," Lucas said, playfully prideful.

Then Maya came from Cory's classroom and Farkle went to her and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Hey, babe," he said, grinning his goofy smile.

"Farkle, not in public," Maya said, practically under her breath.

"Oh, come on. Everyone's going to know you have feelings eventually. It's the last week. Let loose!" Farkle encouraged her.

"Ugh, fine," Maya said. She looked at Farkle for a moment and then seemed to get an idea. She grabbed Farkle's hand and spun herself around like a dancer before Farkle dipped her and bent down to kiss her. While he was a small kid in middle school, he had grown tall and now seemed to tower over Maya with his six feet.

"Hey, no PDA!" Riley called out, laughing.

"Oh, like you can talk," Maya said. "You guys are like the worst couple in the history of the school for PDA."

"She's not wrong," Lucas said, leaning toward Riley and smiling at her.

"That's true," Riley said, scooting closer.

"Hey, guys," Cory said from the doorway. At his voice, Riley and Lucas quickly scooted apart to their own sides of the bench.

"Oh, like I don't know what you guys do when I'm not looking," Cory said, waving it away. "I'm still not okay with it, but I know it's going to happen. I, too, was a teenage boy once," he said. Then he abruptly pointed at Lucas. "I know what you're thinking. Don't."

Lucas put his hands up in surrender and scooted even farther from Riley.

"Dad, you know that if you weren't my teacher, and someone else was, they wouldn't really care," Riley said, looking up at her father.

"I know," Cory said. "Why do you think I followed you guys all the way up to senior year?" he said, giving them an "I gotcha" look.

Riley sighed.

Lucas said, "Sir, we're going to be in college next year, and I-"

"Save it! I was a college guy once too. Still- don't."

"Dad, come on. You and Mom are way worse at home," Riley said, giving Cory a look.

"Hmm, I see where you're coming from," he said, nodding. "Let me just point out the fact that we're married!" he said, continuing the half-joking argument.

"Oh, like you guys didn't do anything in high school or college," Riley said.

"Hey, have I ever told you we did?"

"No."

"Do you have any proof that we did?"

"No, but-"
"Then we didn't," Cory said, smiling with pride at his victory.

Riley rolled her eyes and decided to let her father have this battle.

"Whatever, Dad," she said.

"So no more of this," he said, motioning toward Riley and Lucas and moving his hands around.

"Sir, I never exactly got to say what I was going to say," Lucas said.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you were trying to contribute to your losing battle," Cory said with a grin.

Lucas chuckled. "No, sir. I just wanted to make sure you were fine with Riley and me going to the same college. I mean, it won't be high school anymore, and I didn't know if you had any reservations about-"

"Stop!" Cory interrupted. "Here's a common rule- if you wouldn't do it in front of me, don't do it. Even if it wasn't Riley, that's a good rule. And that applies until you're married, son!" Cory said with a grin at his pride in his cleverness.

"Hey, why aren't you saying any of this to Farkle?" Lucas asked.

"It's Farkle," Cory said. "I trust Farkle. And I trust- well I don't really trust Maya to not do anything bad, but I trust Farkle!"

Maya grinned at Cory's remark.

"Now I have to go," Cory said. "It's my free period, and they have donuts in the teacher's lounge!" he exclaimed, walking happily down the hallway.

"Your dad is really obsessed with making sure you're innocent," Maya said, laughing.

"What's new?" Riley commented. She turned to Lucas. "Just look at it this way- when we're in college, there will be no way for him to jump out of a classroom and scold us."

"I know," Lucas said, sighing.

"I just wish you were coming with us," Maya said to Farkle.

"Yeah, I know," he answered sadly. "But I really want to take over my dad's business one day. And I can't do that without getting a great education from a prestigious college."

"I know," Maya said, taking his hand.

"But I'll miss you more than anything," Farkle said.

"I'll miss you," Maya said. Then she seemed to look around and realize where she was. "Gosh, will you listen to me?! I've become a sap!"

"Maya, you have not become a sap!" Riley said. "You just have feelings. Everybody has feelings. There's no need to hide from them! Once Lucas and I figured that out, we've been the happiest we've ever been," she said with a smile up at Lucas, who had once again scooted over and put his arm around her.

Then the bell rang to end their break between classes. Maya and Farkle walked hand in hand to their next class and Riley sighed as she stood up. She held her hand out to Lucas and he took it and stood up, pulling her to an embrace.

"So, I'll see you tonight?" Lucas asked.

"Of course," Riley said.

He pecked her cheek and walked to his next class as Riley went to hers.

Hey guys! Hope you liked the chapter! I know it might come as kind of a shock to see Maya and Farkle together, but I've read some fanfics of them together, and I've seen that I really like them as a couple. Still a big Joshaya shipper, but I don't see it happening, so I'm going with second best.

I really hope you enjoyed chapter 2! What do you think Riley and Lucas's plans are for tonight? Also, I'd be interested to know what you guys think about MayaxFarkle. (I don't know what their ship name is…is it Markle? Or Faya?)

What do you think about Cory and Lucas's relationship? I can tell you that it's about to get a lot more interesting in the coming chapters! :D
