Hey everyone, this is my second Oneshot in the Title Unknown Oneshot series. It's obviously separate from the first one, but it would still be nice if you read both of them if you are a Rucas fan. :) Anyways, here's the actual story.
Riley's POV:
"There once was a young princess named Riley Fr- I- Mean- Matthews. She lived in New York with her best friends Lucas Friar, Maya Hart and Farkle Mincus," this story is so real! Why? Oh, right. This is my life story. My young life's story, but still my life story. "Riley was a young girl and had no idea what the world had in store for her. She was still discovering the world, and learning about how big it was," I like this story! I have to keep listening! "One day, Riley Matthews realized something. She realized that she didn't have to change the world, she realized she just had to change her own world, because that's what mattered to her most," that sounds a lot like me! "Riley said that she was going to take on the world, and make it her own, and so she did. She made some good friends, including a good boy friend she is in love with named Lucas, her favorite friend of all time Maya, and another cute boy named Farkle," Maya's bias was clearly showing in this story!
"Maya, your bias is showing... I love the story though, keep going!" She continued reading and appears to have listened to my advice.
"Alright Riley, this is a you choose book. Time to see what you choose for yourself. You have two or three options every time, I wrote them down on a piece of paper somewhere you can't see it, but they are set based on your past choices. Alright, here we go. First choice is soon," Maya said. This is going to be a lot of fun if I make good choices! I hope I choose well. "Lucas approaches Riley and asks what she's doing tomorrow night. What does Riley say back?" Hmm... I don't know!
"I haven't thought about it yet, do you want to do something?" I choose.
"Riley is unsure of what it say, but at least is accepting, so Lucas continues by saying if she isn't busy to call him back later and they can talk. Later on, Riley..." Hmm, this choice is easier.
"Calls Lucas back, easy!" Why does Maya look so surprised by this?
"Riley decides to call Lucas and actually talk to him on the phone. Neither one has said anything about doing anything yet, as they decide to talk about life in general. Riley decides to..." Hmm... Another hard one!
"Continue talking about life until Lucas has to go, which is when you bring up that he wanted to talk about doing something," Did that make any sense?
"I knew you would say something like that... Anyways, do to Riley's hesitance to bring it up, Lucas says he would talk to her about it another time instead. Riley..." Wow, that caught me by surprise.
"Doesn't find that to be realistic, but goes along with what Lucas says and will talk to him tomorrow and will be happy about it," Maya won't let me go to bed crying.
"First, you don't know what's realistic because you never talk to him. Also, we both know that you having to talk to him again would freak you out," She doesn't get it! It's hard!
"I wouldn't freak out about calling Lucas!" I would not!
"Prove it." Huh?
"How?"
"Well, by calling him of course!" But...
"But Maya!" I didn't...
"But Riley!" Oh great
"I don't wanna!" Please work!
"Why not?"
"It's... Getting late. He's probably asleep,"
"Riley, really? It's seven oh clock. He's awake. Oh, and how would you know if he's asleep without calling him. Even if he wasn't awake, he would wake up to talk to you I'd guess,"
"It's hard!"
"I know, that's why I'm making you do it. So it's easier next time you do it!" How dare she take my phone!
"The phone is ringing. Let him answer," Of course, Maya...
"Hey, I was just thinking about texting you," that's an interesting hello.
"Okay? What for?"
"Just to say hey," Haha! That rhymes!
"Well, hey!" This is boring.
"So, why'd you call?" I knew this would happen.
"Maya made me. She said I couldn't do it," Maya, the evil eye does nothing.
"Why'd she do that?" Uh... Unexpected question... Maya! Help!
"Aha! Uh, I don't know. She never told me," please work...
"Oh. I thought it was for something else. Anyways, um..." He's stuck! Good. I'm winning!
"Yeah?" I'm not taking his bait... I will not ask him about what he thought it was. It's a trap!
"Uh... You know... It's so awkward talking on the phone without seeing you," huh?
"Okay?"
"Is it just me, or do you have that same feeling?" Uh...
"I mean, kind of. It's kind of hard to tell. I don't know what I'm feeling," Maya!
"She likes you too, can't you see it?! Isn't it obvious!? It's obvious!" NO! I lost.
"Uh, I really don't want that thing right now..." I can't take it back! I can't talk to him now!
"She's too afraid to talk to you on the phone. Come through the window. We can talk in person," uh... Um... This isn't good. Lucas is COMING OVER?! SAVE ME!
"Riley... Did I break you?" Isn't that obvious?!
"I'm not even answering that," I can't do this! I just can't! It's Lucas!
"Riley? What's so scary?" Uh... Lucas!
"Lucas is, Maya! Don't you get it?"
"Yeah, but you're going to have to get over it at some point, why not now?"
"It's not like we were talking about anything important until you just told Lucas I'm in love with him! That's why I'm broken! I can't be fixed now either!"
"You'll be fixed. This is all a part of my plan, Riley," WHAT PLAN?! "You want to get that?"
"Uh, not really, Maya. You invited him, you let him in,"
"Hey Lucas, you're girl is waiting for you on the bed," Maya...
"Heya Riley. Uh... What's up?" He seems unsure of himself. It smells like a fish alone in a sea with me being a hungry shark nearby.
"Well, Maya basically broke me and I don't know what to do in my life anymore," I don't know why I'm saying this...
"What did she do? It must have been bad for you to tell me you're broken," Uh... WHAT?! He didn't hear?! YES!
"Didn't you hear me on the phone cowboy? Are you deaf? I told you-" HAHA You got cut off!
(Lucas whispers to Maya where Riley can't hear) "I know, I'm trying to get her to tell me," What did he whisper? Why is she nodding?
"Is this a conspiracy? What is this?" I feel anxious...
"Riley, what did Maya do that broke you? I'm here, you can tell me," what lie seems reasonable...
"She... She... She stole my meatballs!" That's such a bad lie.
"Riley, we had chicken for dinner, not meatballs," Maya reminded.
"She... Took my pencil so I couldn't do my homework," Wow, I AM a bad liar...
"That was your dad, and he gave it back a minute later. Try again," Um...
"Riley, just tell me. I want to know. I want to help fix the problem," THE PROBLEM IS YOU! "What about me?" Did I say that aloud?!
"Wait... What? What the..." Try and confuse them!
"You said that I am the problem, what does that mean?"
"Lucas! You believe what I said that time? Everything else was more reasonable..."
"Riley, you're acting like you didn't even say it, and your playing with the left side of your hair instead of your right. I can tell you're lying, but know it's the right side, so you're hiding something," Where did you figure that out?!
"Riley... Please end this. Let him help you!" Never!
"Lucas, you could never be the cause of a problem. I like you too much for you to be the cause of one of my problems," Oh great. That's their plan.
"Then what is it? I'll help you fix it," Curl up in a ball, they won't get to you that way!
"Riley! Just tell Lucas... Do you not trust him or something?" Oh great. Wrong way! Backspace!
"Of course I trust him, there's just some things I can't tell anyone, and who I like is one of those things," NO! Where's the delete button! Rewind! Backspace! Erase! Something! Redo!
"You can't do this again, Riley. Just tell whoever you like you like him, but that still doesn't explain Maya's involvement," of course...
"Maya's involved because, she talked to the boy I like," Great. I'm cracking. Too much pressure!
"She did? Who? I'd like to meet this guy, he's probably pretty cool!" Oh great. I'm done.
"He is. He really is. I'm afraid you already know him. Even better than me," I can't hold back. "Fine fine fine! I can't! This is too hard! I can't hold back any more! I can't do this!"
"You can't what?" Maya...
"I can't hold back my secret from you. Lucas, I love you okay? You're the most charming, caring, sweet, smart, cute, handsome, perfect boy of all time, and I wish you were my boyfriend, because I'm sure you'd be a great one because-" Brain freeze. No think. Me no think. I... Ah...
"A simple I like you is good enough," I'm dreaming. I'm asleep... I'm ah... Mind blank. No think. Me loves Lucas! "I like you too, Riley," (Riley Faints after getting kissed again).
