Part 5: 3 Boys & A Scale.
It was Sunday, January 3rd, 2016. Tomorrow, they would all have to go back to school & face reality.
Lucas has spent everyday in his room since New Years Eve.
He was confused.
Confused about his feelings for both Maya, & Riley.
Confused about why Farkle hadn't told him about what was going on.
He's wondering why no on has given him a manual on girls & their feelings.
He's also wondering why no one warned him about New York City girls before he moved here.
Because he would've appreciated it.
His head his telling him to chose Riley.
But…his hart (see what I did there) is saying Maya.
He keeps thinking about what Harper said about Sense & Sensibility. He's trying to follow both his heart & his mind. But, they are both saying something different.
His mind is telling him picking Riley is the right thing to do, while his heart is telling him to pick Maya.
There's a knock on his front door. Knowing his parents aren't home, he gets up to answer it. He is surprised to see Farkle & Zay standing in the door way, holding a brown paper bag.
"What are you 2 doing here?" he asked. They ignored him & walked into his kitchen.
"We're here to help you." Zay said, as Farkle placed the brown bag on the counter & pulled out a scale.
"How is a scale gonna help me?" Lucas asked.
"Anything thats ever confused me has been proven with science." Farkle began. "So we are going to use science to help you figure out which one of them means more to you."
"How is science gonna do that?" he asked.
"We'll show you." Zay said, reaching into his pocket to pull out a bag of skittles. They all gathered around the island & watched as Zay opened the bag of candy, grabbing a skittle.
"We are not going to decide which one I like more using skittles & a scale." Lucas stated, realizing what they were trying to do.
"Just give it a shot, & be honest." Zay exclaimed. "Question 1: which girl makes you laugh?"
Lucas smiled. "Maya makes me laugh." Zay placed the skittle in one dish. "But, so does Riley."
Zay placed a piece of candy in Riley's. "Okay, which one would you rather have a deep conversation with?"
"I've always been able talk to Riley about anything…except the time we tried to date." he said.
"What about Maya?" Farkle asked, as Zay placed candy in Riley's dish.
"We never use to talk much about our personal lives. But, she's been opening up to me lately." he stated.
Zay placed a skittle in Maya's dish. "Are they honest with you?"
"Riley has always been honest with me from the very beginning, besides this one lie about her feelings for me." he said. Zay placed a candy in Riley's dish. "But, Maya's never been shy about saying what she really thinks."
"Can't argue with you, there." Zay said, placing a piece of candy in Maya's dish. "Are they accepting of you?"
"Both of them are…I mean, Riley had trouble with accepting my past, but she got over it." Lucas admitted.
"Did Maya ever have a problem with it?" Farkle asked, Lucas shook his head.
"Another one for Maya." Zay said. "Now…I want you to say the name of whichever one pops into your head first!" he exclaimed quickly.
"Riley." Lucas answered, getting nervous.
"Candy for Riley." Zay said, placing another one in Riley's dish.
"Now…which one is the better kisser?" Zay asked.
"Zay!" Farkle said. "He's only kissed Riley, this question doesn't help."
"Actually…I kissed Maya on New Years Eve." Lucas admitted, causing Zay & Farkle's eyes to pop out of their heads.
"What?" Farkle gasped.
"I go to Texas for 1 week & I miss everything!" Zay exclaims. "So, which one's the better kisser?"
"That question still isn't appropriate." Farkle said as Lucas hid his face.
"Fine, fine." Zay said. "That's all the questions I got…Farkle."
Farkle sighed, leaning on the counter. "I've loved Riley & Maya since the day I met them. Mr. Matthews once asked me how I could love 2 girls the same who were so different." he began.
"I never understood either, until now." Lucas mumbled.
"But, the difference between you & me is, I always knew." he said. "So, I'm going to ask you questions based on my knowledge. They might be confusing, but answer them anyway."
"Okay?" Lucas said, crossing his arms.
"Day or night?" he asked.
"Day." Lucas responded easily. Farkle threw candy in Riley's dish.
"Lollipop or WOOHOO!" Farkle asked.
Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Woohoo?" Farkle placed candy in Maya's dish.
"Summer Rain or fire?" Farkle asked.
"What…I don't know."
"Answer the man, Lucas." Zay said.
"Summer rain?" Lucas said, sounding like a question.
"Campfire or Library?"
"Oh no." Lucas said, shaking his head.
"Lucas…"
"Campfire." Lucas groaned.
"Last question; Sloppy Joe or Chicken Pot Pie?" he asked.
"What?" Lucas asked, very confused.
"Sloppy Joe or Chicken pot pie?" Farkle repeated.
"What does food have anything to do with Riley & Maya?" Lucas asked.
"Just answer the question!" Farkle exclaimed.
"Sloppy Joe." Lucas answered as Farkle placed the final candy into Maya's dish.
The boys watched as the balance beam came to a halt, in the middle. Farkle sighed.
"It's a tie. You like Maya just as much as you like Riley." Farkle said, staring at the balance beam full of skittles. Lucas turned around to face the wall.
"Maybe this was a bad idea." Zay said, popping some skittles in his mouth.
"No, it wasn't a bad idea." Lucas said, spinning around. He grabbed the bag of skittles out of Zay's hand. "I've been going back & forth about this for weeks…& just now, when you poured the last skittle in the dish, I realized which girl I wanted it to be."
He poured the rest of the candy into one of the dishes. The 2 boys smiled at Lucas. "It's been so obvious since the beginning."
"Go get her, cowboy." Zay said smiling.
Lucas smiled, grabbing his jacket & running out of the apartment.
Farkle cloned up as Zay stood there smiling like the joker. "Why are you still smiling?"
"Because I knew this would happen. I saw it my first week here." he said. "You think the girls will be okay?"
"They can survive anything. I know they can. And, after today, they'll both be just fine." he said.
"What about the one he doesn't pick? Will she be okay?" Zay asked as they exited the apartment.
"Not right away, but, only time can tell." Farkle said.
Yes I know, I left you hanging on the edge of a cliff, & I'm terribly sorry about that (Not really)
Guess you'll just have to wait for the next chapter, which will be up before christmas eve!
Who do you think he picked?
