This chapter is only Riley's POV
****************************

So life has been a roller coaster lately. One day I'm okay and the next week I'm not.

I guess I get depressed easily. And sad. And just so many other things that are wrong about my life. It turns out that Lucas is in my history class. He's tall. Cute. Funny. Nice. And I kinda really like him. I think he could make me happy:)

*time lapse*
*another day*

So today I woke up same as always. Same morning. Except...................something different happend that I didn't expect. Maya came to my apartment. Same as always. But she didn't come alone.  No I don't mean farkle cause he always meets us either at the subway or goes in his helicopter. But it was someone I never expected.

*i know I should have gotten to the point*

"Heyy Maya, hey Lucas? Not to be rude but what I he doing here?" I felt myself blushing.
"Since he is joining our group, I thought he should know where we all lived and other reasons", she said giving me the 'I know you like him' look so I gave her an 'I kinda hate you right now' look.

The three of us walked to the subway when I had this vision or something.
*vision*
It was when me, Maya, and farkle were all 5 and were playing on a playground. I fell off the money bars and scraped my knee and they both carried me to the bench. I started to cry and to make me smile, they started to tickle me and we were all happy again. That was the time when my parents would pay attention to me, I wasn't constantly getting bullied by Pissy *yes I meant pissy*, there were no worries in the world, and I didn't have to grow up.
*present time*

"Hey Riley are okay? You started crying out of know where and fell, I got worried."
"It's okay Maya I'm fine I just had a vision."
"About what." I could hear her being very curious.
We sat down inside the train and I told her what happend.
"It was when you, me, and farkle were 5. I remembered when I was on the monkey bars and you guys were watching. I slipped and scraped my knee on the concrete when I fell. I started to cry and you two carried me to the bench so my mom could help me. I wouldn't stop crying so you guys started to tickle me till all three of us fell off the bench laughing our heads off."
Maya started laughing when she remembered.
"But why were tears coming from your eyes when you froze?" She asked
"Because it reminded me of the simple days when I wasnt bullied, depressed, lonely, and afraid of the outside world."
"Yeah I miss those days to peaches", she agreed.

We totally forgot that Lucas was there listening to the whole conversation.
It got to our stop and the three of us walked off the train and out of the subway to school.
