RILEY POV

My day to run the store, fun.

"Hi can I get a regular coffee"

"Yes you may, hey Farkle" I smile,

"Hi Riley" I make the coffee and give it to him, "can you talk"

"Yea the stores empty" I laugh,

"Well so um, how have you been" he asks,

"Well besides the fact that it all went down hill three years ago pretty good" he looks down,

"That's actually what I want to talk about, I'm sorry I caused all of that" he runs a hand through his hair,

"It's okay you had every right too, I was a bitch"

"But still, and maya is still pissed at you. Either that or what she said last night was just to get back at me" I give him a confused look,

"We got into a fight yesterday about Lucas, and you came up"

"I see" I look at the door,

"Do you think she still hates me?" I'm afraid to know the answer,

"No, probably not a chance" he takes a breath, "she looks at all of your guys old photos"

I smile, "she does?"

"Yea, if anything you should talk to her"

"So you too, have stayed friends?" I ask.

"Well we've been dating" I get a little sad,

"Oh how long?"

"Gonna be three years" so they moved on with each other months after everything happened.

I got even more sadder.

"Congratulations"

"Thanks" he looks around, "I can't help but notice some purple cats hidden around the shop" I look to the three purple cats that I hide around everywhere,

"So you've found my secret" I laugh,

"Yea, do they still have the same meaning you told me they did in high school?"

"Yeah they do" I smile while looking at one,

"That's great"

*i walk into Riley's art class to give her some books and find her painting some purple cats again, she looks so beautiful,

"Paint me like your French girls" I whisper as I sneak up behind her,

"Farkle!" She laughs,

"Another purple cat?" I laugh, "why do you paint them so much"

"Because Farkle, purple cats for me, mean that just because something isn't normal doesn't mean it isn't possible. For me a purple cat represents our friendship, the whole groups. It wasn't likely we'd stay together but look we did, which means we are a purple cat"

She puts the brush down and smiles at me*

We have a full conversation when it falls quiet.

FARKLE POV

It got quiet between me and Riley, but it wasn't an awkward quiet, it was a quiet that just seemed fulfilling. A quiet that I wouldn't mind being in.

We are just sitting here, and it feels great.
