I don't know what we are.Sometimes,I feel like we're really close but then,on the other days you treat me like this.
FARKLE
Like what?
RILEY
We are friends who are sleeping together.Is it normal?
FARKLE
It was good decision.
RILEY
If I treated you the way you treat me,you'd hate me.

FARKLE
That's not truth.We agreed to this.Both of us.
RILEY
Maybe...we don't really know what we want from each other.
FARKLE
This is our relationship.Just friends who tend to kiss each other and spend some time together...nothing serious.
RILEY
I don't want any of it anymore.
FARKLE
You are confused.
RILEY
Do you know what confused even means?
FARKLE
When it's real,you'll know,you won't be confused about it.

Well...I'm giving you a choice.There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page or closing the book.

Well...i choose the third option.I'll keep reading book.

FARKLE (CONT.)
I am Farkle.And what I do?Help friends in need.
RILEY
You met her a day ago.
FARKLE
Football should be available for girls too.

ACT TWO
FADE IN:
INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HISTORY ROOM – DAY
Cory is teaching a lesson.We notice something written on the board:Life rules.
CORY
Life rules.Someone knows a thing about it?
MAYA
Break them,break them again and keep breaking them.
LUCAS
Good one.
CORY
No,no and no again.
JULIET
I think life rules are supposed to present something really important in our lives.We need to follow them in order to keep feeling alive.
CORY
Correct.
RILEY
What's the point anyway?Nobody does it anymore.
CORY
There are three simple rules in life.What's the secret of life?
FARKLE
We don't know.You should tell us.
CORY
There are three rules and remember them...forever.
Everyone pay big attention to what Cory is about to say.
CORY
First rule:If you don't go after what you want,you'll never have it.Second rule:If you do not ask,the answer will always be no.And the third rule:If you do not step forward,you will always be in the same place.
MAYA
Those are...really nice rules.
RILEY
Yes,there are.
Riley turns around,looking at Farkle,he looks at her too,maybe not at the same way and for the same reason.
CORY
Follow the rules.But,the most important is to follow your heart.
INT.MATTHEWS APARTMANT – RILEY'S ROOM – DAY
Maya and Riley are sitting at the Bay Window.
MAYA
Follow your heart.Follow the rules.Stupid rules.But...awesome rules.
RILEY
He just...likes her.
MAYA
Juliet?I don't know,Riley.
RILEY
He never fought for my rights.Never.
MAYA
It's just stupid football.It's what makes him fight for girl rights.
RILEY
Remember the experiment?Sludge?
MAYA
Yes.
RILEY
He never fought for my rights.
MAYA
Riley...you need to realize that he doesn't care.And you could be missing out on someone who does.
Riley,silent,quiet,thinking.Than,Farkle enters through window.
FARKLE
Ladies!
MAYA
Oh,boy.Talk to him.
Maya exits through window.We notice music in the background:
Say Something by Christina Aguilera feat A Great Big World.
FARKLE
Hello.
RILEY
I want to break all this stupid unofficial thing that's going on with us.
FARKLE
What?Why?
RILEY
I don't understand our relationship.Sometimes we're just friends,sometimes we're more than friends and sometimes I'm just a stranger to you.
FARKLE
Riley...
RILEY
What's going on with us?Are we dating?Are we sleeping together?Are we friends?Are we something?
Farkle smiles.
FARKLE
What do you want?
RILEY
I want to be adored,loved and cared for.If you are looking for a friends with benefits relationship,look somewhere else.
FARKLE
That's what we both wanted.
RILEY
Can I have that jacket,please?
We notice Farkle's wearing the same jacket he wore when they first hugged after Texas event.
FARKLE
Sure.
He gives his jacket to Riley.
RILEY
We are more than friends,but less than couple.This is more than friendship,but less than relationship.
Farkle looks at her,a bit sad,but accepting the truth.They hug,deeply.The music ends.

LUCAS
Sure.
MAYA
We need time.Both of us.
Lucas nods.
LUCAS
You would consider getting back with me?You want that?
MAYA
All this past months were one real hurricane for all of us.I liked Josh,I thought I really loved Farkle and I still have feelings for you.
LUCAS
So...I win.
MAYA
I want to think before we rush into this relationship.
LUCAS
If that's what you want...I'm fine with it.
They both smile,holding hands.
