A/N: Aren't I awesome at Spanish?!
----------------------------------------------------
Maya
"Why did you steal the money?"
"God for the millionth time I was just giving it to a friend! I didn't know the money was for my dad's company!"
The cops have been questioning me for hours about this stupid money. The company wants to press charges! I freakin hate my dad so much right now and the fact that I have to face Riley at school tomorrow.
"Alright I think that's all we need-"
The door banged open.
"The kid got bailed out. She's free to go."
I jumped out of the chair and ran to the front of the station. Who would bail me out? I stopped short when I saw who was waiting for me.
"Why are you here Matthews?"
He let out a small chuckle
"Well Miss Hart I couldn't let one of my students get out of a project just because they're in jail."
I rolled my eyes.
"I'd rather be in jail than have to go back to your class."
He put his hands over his heart, acting like I had hurt him.
"Ouch. Come on I'll drive you home."
I hesitated for a minute. Where is my home? There is no way in hell I am going back to my dad's house. I'm pretty angry at Kelsey right now.
"Um.... That's okay I'll walk."
Mr.Matthews shook his head.
"Ah I'm guessing you have no where to stay. Well the Matthews would be happy to have you."
That's even worse than going home.
"I-"
"Nope I insist."
Mr.Matthews interrupted.

I've seen this apartment building before. It's for mostly rich families, I wonder why the Matthews live here. I followed him down the endless amounts of hallways, until finally we came to a door marked 515. Matthews unlocked it and stepped aside to let me walk in.
what a gentleman.
Riley came running into the living room, but stopped short when she saw me.
"Umm h-hi Maya."
I responded with an eye roll.
"Riley, Maya is staying with us for the night. Can you take her bags to your room please? You two are sharing a room."
"What?!"
We both yelled in unison.
I hate Riley, how can we spend an entire night together?!

Riley opened her bedroom door and threw my bags in.
Classy.
"You can sleep on the floor."
"Oh how generous."
I snapped.
We both got ready for bed silently and lost in our own thoughts. I chose to sleep in the bay window instead.
"Hey Maya?"
Riley half whispered.
"What do you want?"
"Are we gonna finish the project?"
I rolled my eyes about a million times.
"Seriously?! You wake me up at 3am to talk about school?! Get a life loser."
With that Riley turned back over and went to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about everything's that happened. Why did Lucas run out on us? How did my dad know I stole the money? Why are the Matthews so nice to me?
"H-hey Riley?"
She turned back over.
"Hm?"
"Yeah we're gonna finish."

AWWWWW THAT WAS SO SWEET.
