The next morning I was laying there on the couch. I never could get to sleep.

I looked up at the clock and noticed it said 7:54, so i got up and began my Walk to school.

I got there on time... for once, Got my backpack from My locker and went to the bathroom.

luckily, no One was in there. I went to the sink and rinsed my arms letting the blood flow down the drain. then I cupped my hands and splashed water on my face to wake myself up.

I then dried my face and headed to class just as the Bell rung.

I sat down and was greeted my Mr. matthews.

"your finally on time." he said but I just looked down at my desk and rubbed my stinging arms through my jacket.

Riley then walked in. "hey maya." she greeted with a smile and sat at her desk next to me. "are you feeling better? I heard you threw up in the bathroom yesterday."

I gave her a convincing fake smile. "much better."

Just then farkle walked in followed by lucas.

"hey maya." farkle greeted

"hi"

"hey lucas.' riley said as lucas took his seat behind her and I felt a pang of jealousy hit me.

"hi riley."

The bell then rung and Mr. matthews began taking roll. Just then Missy walked in.

"missy your late." mr. matthews scolded.

"I know. im sorry we ran out of gas on the way here." she explained.

"No excuse, so I will need you to stay after school."

"but..." missy almost protested but stopped when he gave her a look and she sighed. "ok, fine." she said and sat down.

After school, I was at my locker when riley came up to me.

"hey maya."

"hey." I greeted back with a smile.

"we havent hung out for like... forever." she said.

"yeah...."

"hey, how about you come over to my house?" riley suggested.

"uh..."

"we can go over right now."

I thought for a second. I would love to but what about mr. matthews? wait, hes supposed to be with missy after school. what about work? right, family emergency. they might be closed for the rest of the week.

"you know what? sure." I answered. it might be good for me to just hang with my BFF, and not have to worry about anything for a little bit.

We headed over to rileys apartment and was greeted by topanga, mr. matthews wife when we walked in.

"hey riley, how was school?" just then she noticed me. "maya! its so good so see you! wow! your so thin!" she said and then gave me a tight hug.

"hi." I said with a shy smile not knowing if I could trust her or not.

"wheres cory?" she asked.

"he had to stay after school with a student." riley answered as she began walking to her room and I followed wondering if it was rude to just walk away like that.

"isnt lucas so cute? I would DIE if he asked me out." riley excaimed as we were doing a jigsaw puzzle in her room.

"yeah, but. he could ask out someone else." I corrected.

riley chuckled "like who?"

'like me."

"yeah, but you wouldnt say yes." she said but I didnt answer. "right?"

"well...." I started.

"no way, you would! I cant beleive that you would say yes to him when you know I like him. That's against the girl code."

"well it would also be against the girl code for you to say yes too." I retorted.

"oh come on, its not like you like him."

"well, actually...."

"you like him?" I smiled weakly "I cant beleive you would keep such a secret from me. I never keep anything from you. I even told you how i wasnt fully potty trained till 2 years ago. Best friends dont keep secrets from each other." she snapped as we both got up from the floor.

"well A friend would understand that you dont just call dibs on a guy like that!" I snapped back.

"You NEVER said anything about it. You kept it a secret." she then thought for a second. "and now that I think about it, you HAVE been keeping stuff from me." Riley pointed out.

"like What?"

"like... why do you rub your arms all the time? where do you go after school? whenever I ask, you never answer."

"Well thats because... I cant tell you." I answered.

"why?"

I let out a sigh "Its complicated."

"You wont even tell me THAT? "Its complicated" is that all you have to say? im your best friend. you can tell me anything." Riley said suddenly calming down and putting a hand on my shoulder.

But I just shook my head at her. "no... I cant."

"Fine! you know What? If you cant even tell me where you go after school, then I Guess we arent best friends!" she said crossing her arms across her chest.

"maybe we're not!" I agreed feeling my heart break as the words slipped out.

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"I never want to see you again!"

"I could stay away for DAYS If thats What YOU asked!" I retorted.  ugh! why didn't I say years?! yeah days like thats a long time.

"dinners ready!" I heard topanga called from the kitchen.

"I Guess I better go." I said trying to sound mad.

"I Guess you should!"

I stormed out twords the kitchen with Riley behind me and noticed Topanga was putting spaghetti noddles on plates.

"hey maya." topanga started "would you like to stay for dinner? theres enough spaghetti to go around."

For a second I almost said yes as i felt my stomach long for it. But then I noticed Mr. Matthews at the table coloring with auggie And then I glanced at Riley who now sat next to them and remembered we werent friends anymore and realised I wasnt really welcome.

"Um... no thanks Mrs. matthews... but thank you." I said and quietly began to walk out.

"maya!" I heard auggie gasp making me turn back to the family.

"I havent seen you in forever! wow! your THIN!"

his squeaky voice made me giggle. "thanks... I think."

"why arent you staying?" he asked.

I froze as i felt Mr. matthews and Riley turn theyre attention to me. "Um... I just... have somewhere to be right now...Um...Bye." I explained and walked out.
