Thank you for all of the lovely reviews! Sorry for the cliffhanger. Well, no I'm not sorry. I will be leaving you at another one in this chapter. I know it's torture, but it adds to the suspense. By the way, Maya's home life is a little different. She never told Riley this, but one of Katy's old boyfriends was abusive towards Maya. Nothing sexual, but he was always drunk. Katy didn't know until she found Maya locked in a closet when she came home from work. Maya is now claustrophobic. He was arrested. Cory only knows because he is her teacher, and Maya asked not to tell anyone. Okay, enough of me talking.

Maya's POV

We were on the subway, and it started making weird noises. All of the sudden I saw flames. My protective instincts took control, and I grabbed Riley and duck to the ground. I heard a loud crash, and then I blacked out.


Cory's POV

Why aren't they here yet? Is Maya trying to skip, again? I had started class five minutes ago, and they still weren't here yet. I looked around the class. They were reading in the text book, but I could tell that two boys were extremely distracted.

"Farkle, Friar. Can I speak with you outside for a minute?" "Aww, but I was almost to the part about Belgium!" Farkle said as he got out of his seat. Poor Belgium, it will never get it's chance. "Yes, sir." Lucas simply responded. That polite Texan makes it really hard for me to not like him.

Out in hallway I asked the boys if they had heard anything from Maya or Riley. "No, sir. I'm getting really worried. Should I try texting Riley?" Friar said. "Go ahead." Texas even asked permission to use his phone? Dang. "Oh, no." Friar said as he swiped around on his phone. "What?" I said worried. "Well sir, I have this app on my phone that alerts me when the subway is late. What train do Riley and Maya use?" He asked, looking dead at me, into my soul. It was so scary, I took a step back. "Uh, Train A13. Why?" I asked, confused. "It hasn't come in yet." Shit, what was going on? "Farkle, call Maya. Lucas call Riley. Let me know if you can get a hold of either of them. I'll tell the front office." If anything happened, no I'm going to think about that. Time to tell the front office.

"Riley's not answering." I heard Lucas say as I walked down the hall. I heard Farkle sigh in frustration. "Neither is Ma- hold on. Hello? Maya? Maya!"

And that's it. Apparently in my mind Cory also calls names, in his head at least. Do you love the cliffhangers? I'm cruel, aren't I? Hehehehe Suggestions are welcome.
