Maya began to feel paranoid the moment she walked into history class. She didn't have time to attempt to pay attention. She usually tries to listen so sees that she makes some type of effort. She didn't want to lose her friendship with Riley over her lack of care for her education. She could barely look at Riley's dad without thinking of the conversation she had with her mother eariler that day. It made her feel like they knew her secret. It really got under her skin. She had no idea what she would do if they would ever find out.

In the beginning of class, Cory asked her if she was okay, infront of the whole class. She quickly replyed with a yes, and blanky stared at the textbook. After that she felt everyone look at her throughout the rest of the class. She felt Riley giving her worrisome looks every now and then. Then Maya would smile, to assure Riley that everything was okay.

She had this terrible feeling that Riley was going to find out. But when that thought came, Maya quickly pushed it out of her mind. She hid it this long, she could hide it for longer. She hates lying, but she had to. What other choice did she have? Her mind being consumed with all these thoughts that she had no idea class ended. Lost in her thoughts, she just looked at the textbook.

"Maya!" A concerned Riley yelled. "I've been calling your name for like five minutes" Maya looked up at her best friend and scanned the rest of the classroom. Much to her surprise it was empty. "Where did everyone go?" Riley laughed. "The bell rang, class is over silly" "Oh" Maya said as she got up and stretched.

Maya looked at Cory who was sitting behind his desk, staring at her in concern. She quickly turned her gaze back to Riley. "Are you okay Maya? You seemed like you weren't paying attention today" Cory said.

"No offense, that is nothing new" Maya said. Riley let out a little laugh.

"Maya if you ever need to talk- Maya cut off Cory before he even got started. "You know what?" Maya said, as she grabbed Riley's hand. "We have a quiz next class" She said as she led them out the room. "We really have to go"

Riley, who was confused just played along. "Bye, Daddy" she called out when they were out of the classroom. "Bye girls" he called out distantly. Once they were safely away from the classroom. "Maya, we don't have a quiz" Riley said, staring at her friend, with a little head tint in confusion. "Do you even know what class we have next?"

Maya scattered her brain for her schedule. She came to a blank. It was probably the one that she didn't do the homework for last night. " We have p.e" Riley reminded. " We are working on the health unit of class. You were suppose to make the food pyramid for homework" she continued. Maya just nodded. "Oh, I thought the quiz was today" she lied.

"No it is next Friday. But hey, you actually cared enough to remember" Riley said with a smile. "That is awesome" Maya wanted to laugh at her cute reaction, but she didn't have the energy. "Thanks plant, you just keep on growing better and better" Riley's smile got wider. "Really?" Her eyes got wide in excitment.

"Yes, really" Riley giggle." Yay!" Atleast I can make her happy Maya thought. The walked into their classroom. Luckily for Maya, Farkle wasn't in this class. She honestly never had a problem with him, she just couldn't deal with his flirting today. She always question his affection for her, it never made sense. But a lot of things about Farkle never made sense to her.

Maya took her usual seat next to Riley, who already had her notebook opened and was ready for class. "Today we will be focusing on mental health, because how we feel about ourselves is just as important as how healthy we are" The teacher said. Wonderful Maya thought bitterly Just what I need, a lesson about my ever growing self esteem.

Maya felt herself panic inside a little, she hoped nothing would be to triggering. Riley looked at her again. Maya calmed down a little, trying to appear as normal for the sake of her best friend. Maya began sketching on the corner of the desk to calm her nerves. A small piece of paper landed on her desk, as the teacher talked. She recongized Riley's girly handwriting. She made the "o" flowers. Oh, my little plant Maya thought with a smile.

Are you okay? It read. Maya replied with No worries little plant, enjoy the sun. I saw Lucas smile at you eariler She acutally did, she thinks it is so adorable, her friends first crush. She also knew it would get Riley thinking of Lucas, and not worrying about her. In the corner of the paper she drew a flower and the sun. Then she returned it back to Riley.

"Alright class, we will be watching a documentry about self harm" The teacher said. Maya felt her stomach drop. She closed her eyes hoping this was a dream. A terrible, terrible dream. After that she just began sketching. She never looked up at the video. In the corner of he eye, she saw Riley's reaction of the video. She looked close to tears. Maya felt her heart beat fiercly, unable to handle this.

Maya sketched everything on the walls in the room, the posters, the artwork, everything. The video ended, then the teacher said. "Alright class any thoughts?" The room was filled with a buzz. Voices over other voices. " I only listen to people who raise their hand" The teacher said.

Many hands were raised. She called on a kid whos name Maya never cared enough to remember. " I think that it is really stupid. People who do that are pathetic. They need to get over themselves and learn how to face their problems" Mumbled sounds of argement followed. Maya felt sick. Her head began to spin.

"It doesn't solve anything. People who do that are an idiot" Someone else said. Some people in the class agreed. Then, Maya felt her world stop, she saw Riley raise her hand. Please, Riley no Maya begged in her mind Don't agree with them

Before Riley could get a word out, Maya blurted. "May I be excused?" The teacher didn't even answer. Maya walked out of the class, then ran to the bathroom, so locked herself in the big stall. Her head spun and she felt like she couldn't breath. I can't cut here, not now She thought, she figured Riley would come once class ended. She didn't want to explain why she ran out.

But everyones comments were playing over again in her head. She couldn't take it. I never cut in school before She thought. Well, there is a first time for everything. She felt her pocket for her little razor blade. She pushed up her sleeve, looking at the damage she did last night and then added to them. She bit her lip to avoid crying.

She pressed the blade harder into her skin, causing it to bleed. She watched the blood drip into the sink.

"Maya?" She froze. It was Riley. She dropped the blade it landed in the sink with a little clink.

"Maya are you okay?"

a/n: Well I hoped you enjoyed chapter two. Sorry for the lack of interaction with other characters, like Farkle and Lucas. I really just wanted the story to focus on the girls friendship and how much the Matthews care for Maya. Please tell me if you liked it, or if I need to improve anything. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your day
