[ After dating a smartass, being best friends with a snarky blonde and being friends with Slytherin's ice queen; Riley had definitely learned to make comebacks. ]
Not just his lips!
[ Okay so it also helped her avoid confrontation when candy or books weren't around. But it wasn't like Maya was there for her when she thought her and Farkle's life was going to change. All she did was hang out with Lucas. ]
Yeah, looking for the Venomous Tentacula and getting one of it's tentacles for the Professor. And if I must ask do you even know how to handle such plant without getting hurt? Or even know where to find it?
[ She stomps her foot down, feeling her own anger bubble up. ]
I don't even get why I'm at fault here! You're the one who rather hang out with her 'friend' Max or her 'friend' Lucas. So what if I spend my time with my boyfriend by the time exams come he'll forget about me until I don't eat and he has to feed me himself.
[Why does it always end this way? Her losing their fights. Why can't she stay mad at her for more then a few hours?..."
"Max IS JUST my friend, full stop. Get it? And me and Lucas, all we'll ever be is friends, too..." [She wasn't going to deal, or speak about her messed up feelings for Lucas right now. She didn't want to, and with the words that left her best friends mouth, she has been broken. How could Riles think that?]
[The roughness in her voice fades away into something hauntingly soft.]
"... Come on Riles, you know he loves you. He just gets busy, trying to run for minister..."
I know he loves me. [ She bites her bottom lip. ] One month ago, I wasn't feeling well. He did everything in his power to get through my stubborness and drag me to the hospital wing.
[ She sits by a tree, whispering ] I thought I was pregnant. [ A tear falls down her cheek. ] With his child. Gosh, Imagine a mini Riley and Farkle.
In a way, I sort of wanted it. I've just never felt this strongly about a person and I love love but you don't get how much this terrifies me as well.
