[If you didn't think her best friend would be coming over your dead wrong. Maybe she hasn't realized things yet, but Riley is her best friend and she's alone. And she's coming for you.]

Earth to Riles~ [She singsongs as she moves to pull the cereal to her.] Guess this is mine now~

[ She can't seem to pry her eyes away from the boy. ]

...yeah, sure.

[Good she's taking that bowl and stuffing a bit in before glancing at Riley.]

Alright, who do you needta take down? Cause I'll make the next person who looks at you strangely down a few pegs.

Huh?[ Breaking her trance and turning to her best friend. ]

Wait. Where's my cereal?

Oho. Now you come back to us. [Waggling the spoon with an arched smile and a devious smile.] Hey, honey. Why don't you tell me about that planet you just rejoined me from?

[ Her cheeks tint to a light pink. ]

Well, Peaches. I just cam back from Mars-Pluto. You know how much I love Pluto!

What was that about Mars? Is there something you need to tell the rest of the class, Pumpkin.

Absolutely, nothing. About no one.

[ Thumbs up. ]

Mhm. I see that.

Now, who is it we know who really likes Mars? I wonder.

Well, Farkle is really into Mars but everyone knows that. But I was actually referring to the muggle chocolate 'Mars'. I could be getting a shipment in.

Who ya trying to full? We both know I know my candies. I was the queen of Halloween.

[She places her hands on her table.]

Now why could you be looking at our little bird like that. I wonder, I wonder.

Yay, bird![ Looking in his direction happily then frowning at Maya, cutely. ]

I'm looking at him like I always do. He's one of my best friends.

Oh, no, honey. That was the face you were making old Huckleberry last year.

It is not! Farkle is my friend; just friends. I don't feel anything like that for him.

I like Lucas.

Uh-huh. But you do know it's okay if you liked Farkle, too? It's not like we don't already have bets on that or anything. Nope.

Once again, I like Lucas. F-A-R-K-L-E.

Wait..

[ Eyes widening. ]

FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING I JUST SAID!

[ She glances between Maya and the back of Fakle's head. She sighs in defeat. ]

Owlery time.

[ At least she gets to see Logan. ]

Come on, up we go. We gotta sneak out quick, cause I'm taking this cereal with me.

[Sad as she grabs a drink and takes a biscuit.]

Logan [ Looks around. ] is not here.

[ She gives a sheepish smile. ]

Do we have to take about the word salad I spat out? We could talk about Quidditch or how you're doing? How are you doing?
