Angelina's POV:

We were now almost done with seventh grade, just a few more days at this point. It was interesting, to say the least. Anyway, Gabby was coming to my apartment this afternoon when we got done with school. I was in class, and the only people not there were Mr. Matthews, Riley, and Lucas.

At that moment, Riley was put on her desk by Mr. Matthews. "Dad, are you out of your mind?" Riley asked.

"Riley. It's time for the talk." Mr. Matthews said. Wow, he was late. I mean, I had this talk when I was in fourth grade, and she still hadn't.

"In front of the whole class?"

"Yeah, give her the talk let's see what you know," Maya said.

"Okay. When a daughter-" Mr. Matthews started, but Riley interrupted him.

"Stop." She protested.

"Excuse me." He runs to the back door and closes it before Lucas could enter. "Not today, Chachi."

Lucas pushes the door open with Cory behind it. "Sir, you've known me all year. You like me, admit it."

"I don't wanna."

"I'm one of the good kids. What are you so afraid of?"

"Okay." Mr. Matthews said, erasing Belgium 1831 off the board.

Farkle stands up with a Belgium shirt and flag. "No!" Farkle shouted.

"Okay, guys. It's the seventh-grade spring fever, which leads to dating, which leads to movies, which leads to popcorn, which leads to putting your hands together in the dark touching popcorn, which leads to holding hands, which leads to that!" Mr. Matthews said, pointing at Yogi and Darby rubbing their noses together. "Oh, I am not ready for this." He picks up Yogi, but he was still trying to stay with Darby. "Come with me. Come Here. Come on, no, come one. Come with me." He finally gets him in his seat, and then he turns to Riley. "Riley, I am begging you to stay in Neverland, okay? No growing up."

Farkle raises his hand.

"What do you want?"

"The way I see it, I'm in an interesting position here," Farkle said.

"How do you figure Farkle?"

"Let's approach this as a scientific equation. You're scared of Lucas going out with Riley, right?"

"Oh, does it show?"

"Yeah, He's good-looking and athletic."

"He's thirty-six!"

"Give your daughter to me. I'll Give you four oxen and my best milking cow."

Mr. Matthews looks between the two boys.

"Are you actually thinking about this?" Riley asked him.

"It's a good deal."

"I will decide who I go on my first date with at such time as somebody asks me," Riley said. We finally were able to continue class as normal after that, which I was thankful for.

We were in the hallway by the lockers, and I was with Riley and Maya.

"Life used to be so simple, Maya. Wake up, brush my hair, Eat cereal, Pick up the bowl of cereal that I dropped."

"When did all of this pressure happen?" Maya asked.

"Boys have it easy,they get to ask. Oh yeah, they wouldn't last a day in our shoes. Waiting for them to get the courage to ask us."

"And then doing the vacuuming and ironing the babies. Riley, this isn't the 90s anymore. You want something, you go get it." Maya said. I took her words to heart. Did I want Lucas? Should I go out with him? What was happening to me?
