"What is it" i asked. she mumbled something under her breath. "umm i couldn't hear you.." i told her. "nevermind" she managed. "Riley You can tell me anything" I told her. "You don't have to be afraid it's me maya, your best friend!" i told her as if she forgot. "i would never forget about you! and you shouldn't forget that i am always there for you. You don't don't have to hide from me" i choke out. "What's been going on? One minute you happy and the other you-" i felt a tug on my shirt the next thing i know i feel her arms wrapped around me "i'm sorry" she said. "Anyway i have to go it's getting late." I told her. "It's only 6:10" she assured me. "Yeah, see ya riles" i said. I went out her bay window and walked down to topanga's (i know this is going back and forth i'm sorry)

When she tugged my shirt i felt as if she was going to kiss me. Guess she isn't that kind of person. Her hug was so warm and reassuring and we hug all the time but this hug was different for a reason i did not know.

I sit at a table for two. Luckily lucas isn't here anymore. I'm so stiff i it's already 9pm. On the way to my house is riley's place. Hopefully she would be awake. I enter from her bedroom window as usual it's open. She is in her bed sound asleep. "Riley" i whisper. No response. "Riley" i whisper again. No response. Next thing i knew i was on her bed cuddling with her. She's a heavy sleeper. She was so beautiful. Not realizing what i was doing i placed my lips on hers. I immediately stopped. I didn't know what i just did. I felt felt horrible i took advantage of my best friend.

I place my hand on her cheek and mouthed "i'm sorry" and left the room.

It's morning i take a quick shower get dressed and walk downstairs to make bowl of cereal. I find a note from my mother along with some money. 'I'm out all day, order a pizza, i love you.' I take the money and shove it in my coat pocket. I take out the cereal and make a quick breakfast. I'm out the door not 10 minutes after. I get to riley's house and enter through the window. She's in her bed on her phone per usual. "Hey riles" i say slowly. "Sleep okay?" I asked. "Yeah best rest i had in years." Riley said as if hiding something. "Did you have a bad dream?" I asked, "i have the best night's sleep when i have nightmares." I told her truthfully. "Far from that actually" she said smiling. "You didn't tell me what was bothering you" i mentioned. "I will tell you later." Riley answered standing up about to leave the room. "Riley just tell-" i was cut off "MAYA I'M GAY!" Riley shouted. I stood still shocked.
