Farkle and Lucas

“	Lucas: He's my best friend! Farkle: You really mean that? You're my best friend, too!	”
	—Lucas and Farkle, in Girl Meets Flaws

“	A Farkle is loyal, loving, best possible friend that there could be.	”
	—Lucas to Farkle, in Girl Meets Yearbook

“	Farkle: I just want you to know that if Smackle has feelings for you– Lucas: Farkle. Farkle: Shmeh. I would step aside. Lucas: Farkle– Farkle: Shmeh! It's true. Smackle and I are people of science. We don't do well with feelings. If it's you she wants, I would step aside.	”
	—Farkle and Lucas in Girl Meets Sweet Sixteen

Farkle and Lucas is the platonic friendship between Farkle Minkus and Lucas Friar.

They have history class together and sit near each other. They both consider each other as friends, seen in Girl Meets Sneak Attack and Girl Meets Smackle. In Girl Meets Flaws and Girl Meets Yearbook, they even call each other their best friends.

Similar to Riley and Maya, the two are very protective of each other and make up for each others' shortcomings while also being polar opposites, Lucas being a more athletic person while Farkle is more intellectual.
