"Why do we have to sneak out of the house if we're not doing anything wrong until we sneak onto the subway?" My best friend, Riley asked Maya and I for like the 10th time so far. "You think you're ready to just walk by your parents?" Maya asked. "I think I'm ready." Riley reassured. I gave her an amused look. "Let us see your face as you walk by your parents." I instructed. Riley gave Maya and I, a scared expression. "Why are you making that face at us, Riley?" Maya asked, imitating Riley's parents. "Because I'm sneaking onto the subway." Riley said. I gave her one of my signature looks.
"Out the window." Riley said, pointing out of the window. I nodded. "Let's go." Maya and I said in sync. The three of us crawled out of Riley's bedroom window. A few moments later, we crawled back in. The three of us walked to Riley's bed and sat on the edge, as Mr Matthews, Riley's father, crawled in and gave us some sort of lecture. "Here's what I'm thinking," he said, beginning his lecture. "It's not your world yet. It's still my world. Because if it was your world, Maya and Hermione would have you on the subway already, thinking you put something over me. But you didn't. Know how I know? Look at ya. You're right here."
"How long do I have to live in my father's world?" Riley asked. I chuckled. "Until you make it yours," Mr Matthews told his daughter, while putting a hand on her shoulder. "Riley, do you know what I want more than anything? Go ahead, make it yours." Mr Matthews told her. "I will. And when I do will you still be there for me?" Riley asked. "Right here." A voice said. We all turned to see Riley's mom, Mrs Matthews, leaning against the door frame. "We'll be right here." she reassured. Riley, Maya and I gave each other a look. We all linked arms and skipped out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The three of us arrived at the subway and were greeted by the familiar subway vibes. The dead rat smells, people's footsteps as they come and go. I just love the subway! We were all greeted by a new sound. The three of us turned to a familiar person that Maya and I knew. He was drumming. Maya and I stepped forward and began to dance. The drumming stopped. "Weasel!" Maya and I exclaimed. "'Mione! Maya!" Weasel greeted us, then took notice of Riley. "Who's the new chick?" "Chick! Down here I'm chick." Riley said, leaning closer to Maya and I. "No wonder my parents don't want me on the subway." She whispered. We began walking to the subway train, as two girls passed us. "You're slouching, Maya." A girl who I didn't know told Maya. "Thanks, Gretchen." Maya said. Maya stood straight, put her hands on her hips and started walking to the train with such good posture. Riley and I shared a look. I shrugged. Riley mimicked Maya and followed her to the train. I rolled my eyes and followed Riley and Maya.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I looked around the subway at all the other passengers. I glanced at Riley and saw something very peculiar. "Whoa, Riley." I said. Maya took notice of Riley and her eyes slightly widened into amusement. "You don't do lip gloss." Maya told her. I nodded. "Oh, what I forgot to mention is that I'm completely reinventing myself. I ride the subway now, I have kiwi lips now and I'm just as cool as you now." Riley said. I chuckled. "Yeah? Let's see how cool you can be when you look at him." Maya said, gesturing with her head, towards someone behind Riley. Riley and I followed Maya's gesture and saw a blonde kid, about our age, reading a text book. He looked up and smiled at us. Riley turned back to us with a big grin on her face.
I giggled. "Yeah, you're gonna need some lessons." I told her. "Okay, let me show you everything you need to know about boys and girls." Maya said, and walked over to the boy. Riley and I watched her. "Hi, I'm Maya. You're really cute. We should hang out sometime," Maya said, sitting down next to the boy. "You make me happy. You don't pay enough attention to me. This isn't working out," Maya said, standing up. "It's you, not me. We can still be friends. Not really." Maya said, walking back to us leaving the boy without a word.
"He's available. We just broke up." Maya said. I giggled. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Do we need to talk about it?" Riley added. "You still want to be like me and 'Mione?" Maya asked. "I want to be exactly like you two. I think too much and you don't think at all." Riley said. "See, you get us. So let's not think!" I cheered. I grabbed Riley's hand and pushed her off the pole we were holding onto. Riley screamed and landed on the kid's lap. I giggled and turned to Maya. "Hey, Maya?" I asked. "Yeah, 'Mione?" Maya asked me. "Do you think your mom will help you with your homework, tonight?" I asked. Maya looked down sadly, and then looked back at me with sympathy in her eyes. She shook her head. I looked back down at my converse trainers, and then back up when Riley approached. "That was great." Riley said in a dreamy voice. I put on a fake smile and made eye contact with my best friend. "You're welcome." I told her. An expression of worriness and fear crossed Riley's face. "What if that was the best moment of my life? What if nothing ever happens for me again?" She asked. Maya and I shared a knowing look. We both looked back at Riley with a smirk plastered on our faces. We both grabbed Riley's hand and pushed her off. She was sent tumbling back. She screamed and landed on a lady's lap. "It's for you." The lady said, picking Riley up and placing her on the kid's lap.
