Everything was normal for Riley Monday morning, She gets up and gets dressed in a floral dress and black booties. She does her makeup like usual and grabs her bag and walks into the kitchen to join her family for breakfast. She buzzes Maya in and they all eat breakfast. Riley and Maya head out the door to the subway going to school and meet up with Farkle and Lucas at her locker. Then the morning starts to get weird, starting with a text message.

Private Number: Your just a stupid freak in your own little stupid made up world, STOP being so immature and grow up

RILEY'S POV

I am about to walk into history when I get a text,

Private Number: Your just a stupid freak in your own little stupid made up world, STOP being so immature and grow up.

Why would someone send me this, is this supposed to be a joke. I shake it off thinking it was just a prank and walk into class. I sit down in my desk smile at Maya and listen to my dad teach when another message comes in.

Private Number: You're a loser nobody likes you not even your friends, they just act like they like you to be nice"

Ok, that hurt a little, so its not a prank. Why would someone want to bully me, I'm nice to everyone.

"Riley, is there something on your phone that appeals to my lesson" my dad says pulling m out of my thoughts

"Um, no sir, sorry dad" I reply locking my phone

The bell rings for lunch and I meet Farkle, Lucas, ad Maya outside.

"Hey Riles you okay, I class you were looking at your phone like something inside you died" Maya asks

"Yeah I'm okay" I lie "Are y'all ready to go to lunch, I here we're having pizza" I say playing it off that I was ok when I wasn't why would someone hate me that much to send me a text like that

The day goes on without anymore text messages until I get to my locker after 5th period with Maya. I open my locker and a note falls out, I pick it up and it reads: Your ugly, your too happy, this imaginary world of yours is stupid snap back into reality and BTW you and Lucas won't work out haven't you've noticed he's into Maya

As I read the note a tear escapes my eye, I crumble up the note wiping the tears from my eyes turning to Maya

"You ready to go"

"Yeah, you ok, what was that note that fell out of you locker" Maya asks worried

"Oh nothing just some doodles" I lie "So you ready to go"

*MAYA'S POV*

Riley's been acting weird all day ever since her dads class. She says she fine but I don't believe her. Riley's my best friend why wouldn't she tell me what's wrong with her. After we get off the subway, we head to Riley's house to do homework.

"Hey Riles?" I ask

"Yes peaches" she ask while she sits next to the bay window

"You would tell me if something is bothering you, wouldn't you"

"Of course I would, your my best friend I could never keep anything from you"

*RILEY'S POV*

I really hate lying to Maya but I have to. If I tell Maya the truth then she would tell my dad and then matters would just get worse and worse. I don't even want to think about how Lucas would react. I'm just going to have to keep this to myself. I can never let anyone know about this, ever. After Maya leaves I go eat dinner with my family and get dressed for bed. Right before I go to sleep another message come through:

Private Number: I see you got my note, why do you keep trying to be happy I know deep down you depressed and hurt and angry about Lucas and Maya, I know you haven't accepted it yet, so why be happy for them when they hurt you.

And for the rest of the night before drift to sleep those word echoed in my mind "Why be happy for them when they hurt you."
