"Ooo!Maya, today is wonderful!" Riley gushed with a wide, open mouthed smile and a joyful look in her eyes. I'd seen it many times before, but it always made my insides flutter. 

I looked up towards the pure blue sky littered with fluffy white clouds. My eyes rested on the most wonderful thing in the entire world. 

"Yeah...it really is Riles." I agreed. However I wasn't talking so much about the day. I was talking about Riley herself. 

"You know what makes today so beautiful?"Riley asked.

"For you? It's a DAY!" I joked. 

"Laugh at me all you want." Riley sighed. " What makes this day so beautiful is that the sun is shining, my stomach is full of waffles, and I'm spending this gorgeous day...with you." Riley spoke the last words as she descended from Rileytown and stared deep into my eyes. 

For a moment I just stood there staring back. Her brown eyes burning into my soul. It scared me when she did that. I could feel the blush in my pale cheeks. I thought she could see inside me. Maybe even  read my thoughts. The thoughts such as 'I love this girl.'

"Maya?" Riley chuckled. 

I blinked to clear my mind. 

"Yeah Honey?" I asked.

"You were giving me that...weird look again." Riley sighed. 

"I'm sorry. I was just thinking." I smiled and motioned for Riley to sit down on a park bench. She did and I took a seat beside her. Our thighs touching and our hands instinctively interlocked. 

"Peaches?" Riley asked after a few moments of people watching. 

"Yeah?"

"If you could construct a perfect day what would that day look like?" My daydreamer friend asked. 

"Welp. For starters, Shawn and my mother would be there to wake me up in the morning and we would have breakfast together as a family. Then I'd walk to your house and climb in the bay window. You'd still be asleep so I'd jump on you waking you up. You'd fuss at me for a second, but because you love me you'd forgive me. Then we would join Farkle, Lucas, Zay and Smakle in the park or something. It would be a Saturday so no school. Towards the end of the day the others would go home and I'd have you come back to my house for a sleepover. You'd say yes and stay the whole night so the next morning I'd wake up right beside my best friend. THAT is the best possible day I could ever have. " I said laying my head on my best friend's shoulder. 

"Aww, your best day ever would have me in it? That would be my best day ever as well!" She smiled. 

"Of course!" I laughed. 

"I love you Peaches!" Riley tightened her grip around my shoulders. 

"I love you too, Honey." More than you know Riles, more than you know. I added mentally, tightening my grip on her.
