Hi everyone. I'm so sorry for not updating for ten days. School has started again and homework is piling up. I still write during the week but I'll only post on weekends unless I have longer holidays. I'm really sorry.

Here's the first chapter of part 2: The Bully and The Boy. Hope you guys like it. Don't forget to Review, Favourite and Follow. Thank you guys so much for being patient with me.


Riley's POV

I see something stuffed in-between my social studies and science textbook. I take out the social studies textbook since Maya told me that I had that with my daddy first thing every morning. I then saw that the something was actually a note. I grabbed the note and closed the door just as Maya closed hers and pushed me into the classroom. Lucas and Farkle were already there discussing something with Daddy. Maya pushed me chair underneath my raised table and made sure that the chair was locked in place before joining their discussion. I felt a little left out but then I remembered the note. I didn't read it earlier since Maya was talking to me about the scheduled but now there was no one to talk to so I opened it.

'Welcome back, Matthews.' I read the first part. Why do I feel like this note has a weird feeling? 'Welcome back. I thought that you thought you already handled our little "issue", then why did you miss school for over a month? You should just quit school altogether, it will make us all feel better. Your friends are just friends with you because they pity you. You must've just had that accident so that they would pity you.' I looked at them, they were still discussing. 'And if you tell anyone about this note, your " friends" will get it.' I teared a little and quickly stuffed the note back in my bag. 'Maybe it's a prank?' I think to myself hopefully. 'But no one would say mean stuff like this right?' A voice said. I decided to just ignore the note and think about it later if there are more. I quickly stuffed it in my bag since class was about to start.

About five minutes after daddy started class, a boy entered the class through the front door. "Boingy Boings." I heard Maya say beside me. I felt like something was going to happen when she said that. I'm not sure whether it's good or bad but I feel like something will happen. I turned in my chair and saw Maya pointing at a brunette boy wearing a red shirt under a denim jacket and black jeans.

"Um, is this Mr Matthews' History class?" The boy said. Daddy nodded his head. "I'm Elliot and I'm a transfer student from LA." "Do you have a transfer paper?" Daddy asked as he gave him, Elliot, a funny look. Elliot handed a paper to daddy and he nodded. "Elliot, you can sit..." Daddy looked back at the paper and pointed towards me, "behind Riley." "Daddy!" I yelled. "Honey, it's alphabetical order in my class remember?" He said. "But daddy, Farkle's my best friend-" I was cut of by Maya yelling "Hey!" "after Maya." "Hey!" Then Lucas said. "And Lucas." I said to humor him. "Lady!" Farkle then said. "You guys are equal." I said. "And after Maya." Maya added in. "Yes, and after Maya." The two guys then slumped back into their seats, all of us forgetting about Elliot, who was standing in the middle of our square.

"Riley, no buts." Daddy said. I humped before trying to slump back into my seat but couldn't because my leg was stuck in its position and I would have to use my hands to move it. Farkle, and the others in the row, then moved a seat back. "Now, back onto Hoover Dam..." I sat there wondering why daddy also gave Elliot funny looks for a while before taking notes. Daddy turned around and looked awkwardly at me for a while too but I'm not sure why. Maybe I'll ask him later or maybe it's because I just didn't want him to change the square, ok quadrilateral, of friendship. Zay's part of the group too, but now daddy has made it into a weird shape. Why daddy, why?

I wrote a few notes based on what daddy wrote on the blackboard. Then, the bell rang. I packed up my stuff and made sure I had the note in my bag without Maya seeing it. She then pushed me to the next class. The rest of the day passed with nothing unusual except that Elliot was in every one of my classes and always sat somewhere inbetween our group. Finally after the tiring first day of school, daddy took Maya and I home. Once we got home, daddy carried me onto the bed and Maya and I started to do our homework, or just talking while trying to do it, after getting a plate of snacks. I decided to just ignore the note and forget about it.

At about eight thirty, after dinner and Red Planet Diaries, Maya went home through the bay window. Then, I really started to do my homework. I played some music on my iPod to help me relax and concentrate. The peacefulness while doing my maths homework was disrupted by the beeping of my phone. I saw that it was, luckily, on my bedside table. I sat up from my lying position and grabbed my phone. It still took a lot of effort to get up but it was getting easier. I unlocked my phone and saw a new text. I opened the text and saw that it was from a blocked number.

'You really thought you could ignore me, Riley Matthews? Did you?' It read. 'What I'm telling you is the truth. I care enough about you to tell you the truth, unlike those fake friends of yours. They're just friends with you so they could suck up to your daddy and get good grades. They're not your friends. And here's the truth. No one wants to be friends with an immature baby like you. I mean seriously, being a princess and using a horse as a unicorn. What are you? Five? Anyway,your friends never liked you.'

Was I going to believe what it said? Should I tell mom or dad? Were Maya, Lucas and Farkle really my friends? Maya and Farkle are right? I mean, they were friends with me since first grade. Is Lucas really my friend? Is Zay? If they were, I would've remembered them right? And how did it know that I still wanted to be a princess? When did I use a horse as a unicorn? I keep trying to remember as more questions keep running through my head, making it hurt and everything spin, until I finally black out.


Cory's POV

Something was telling me to go check on Riley. It's been an hour since Maya left. I knew because I heard her footsteps on the fire escape. I knocked her door. I used to not knock but now, since, as much as I hate to admit it, she's older, and would probably want some privacy. I didn't hear any reply but a phone drop. "Riley, everything OK in there?" I didn't hear anything this time. I decided to ignore the privacy thing and just opened the door.

When I went into her room, I saw her slump against the headboard, eyes closed. Her iPod was playing music and her school books scattered around the bed. I then realized that her phone was on the floor. I picked it up. It was still on and showing her text messages. As her teacher, I should respect her privacy and just turn it off. But as her father, I should still respect her privacy but I can't help but feel something about this message, especially after the bullying incident. What I read, scared me.

'You really thought you could ignore me, Riley Matthews? Did you?' It read. 'What I'm telling you is the truth. I care enough about you to tell you the truth, unlike those fake friends of yours. They're just friends with you so they could suck up to your daddy and get good grades. They're not your friends. And here's the truth. No one wants to be friends with an immature baby like you. I mean seriously, being a princess and using a horse as a unicorn. What are you? Five? Anyway,your friends never liked you.'

Oh no, Riley. I quickly looked at her again. Her face was scrunched up into a frown and she looked so tense and uncomfortable. "Riley, Riley baby?" I cooed. She cringed and started to sweat. "Riley, you OK?" She didn't say anything but shook a little. I could tell that she probably was having a nightmare or something like that from reading the message. I scooped up my only daughter in my arms and rocked her like I did less than ten years ago. She may be almost fifteen but she's still my little girl. I rocked her a little more until she calmed down. I then cleared the books of her bed and tucked her in before kissing her forehead and whispering a "goodnight princess". I closed the door softly, praying that she wouldn't believe the message. I know that her friends are the most loyal people in the world and they would do anything for my little girl.

Once out of the room, I write a small note excusing Riley for not finishing today's homework due to certain circumstances in case she hadn't finished them. I then went to my bedroom where Topi was studying one of her new cases. That night, I went to bed thinking of how would I deal with two problems, the guy whom I had thought I would never see again in my whole life for 15 years, is back and something else that my daughter doesn't remember, is happening again. Why oh why must these things happen at the same time?


Poor Matthews. You know which one I'm talking about. If you aren't sure, review your idea. I will answer it in the next chapter. Who's the guy Mr Matthews thought he would never see again? Review your idea for that too. I love getting your reviews, it makes me want to write more so thank you.
