After Shawn had to head back to work, Maya and Riley went to the book store. It had started snowing as Riley watched from the window.

"We should head home soon" said Maya

"Yeah" said Riley "I don't want to get stuck here"

"Me either" said Maya

Riley and May didn't want to head home now. It was still lunchtime and if Riley went home now her parents would know something was going on. While they were in the book store, Riley and Maya read some of the magazines and Riley got to try coffee for the first time, Cory and Topanga never allowed her to try it at home.

"This is pretty good" said Riley as she swallowed it. That was when she noticed her throat was sore.

It was either the flu or mono she thought. There was no way that she would tell her parents that she kissed Lucas. There was a no kissing law until Riley was sixteen and if they found out she was kissing, Riley knew she would be in big trouble.

As Lucas sat in bed, he wished he was any place other than home. It seemed like his mother would come up every hour just to take his temperature which wasn't any better than the first time she took it. He knew that he would be out of school for at least a couple weeks. As the doctor said the day before his body needs rest but Lucas wasn't getting much rest. He couldn't get Riley off his mind even if he tried too.

"So" said Maya still at the book store "How did it feel when Lucas kissed you yesterday" she asked

Riley wasn't sure how to describe it. All she could see was fireworks and only fireworks. "Fireworks" smiled Riley "That is the best way to describe it" she said

"Awwww" Maya said "Riley and Lucas sitting in a tree, KISSING. First comes LOVE, Second comes MARRIAGE, Third comes Riley in a baby carriage. Maya repeated that a few times until Riley told her to stop it.

Riley and Maya hung out in the book store pretty much all day. There wasn't anyone that they know that would be there during the day.

"This is nice" said Maya as she sat in a chair "No school" she smiled

"So" said a person sitting behind them behind a book 'You are skipping, aren't you"

Back at home, Cory and Topanga were sleeping when the phone rang. "Mr. and Mrs. Mathews" said the person on the other end "You need to pick" and then the message cut off.

The power went out because of the snow but neither Cory and Topanga would've known about it. As they slept Auggie watched TV in Riley's room, he hardly ever got to be in her room without her there. She usually would yell at him and kick him out.

As he blew his nose he just threw the tissue on the floor. He didn't care if Riley would yell at him. He was sick and Cory and Topanga told him he could.

Back in the next room Cory started feeling better but Topanga felt as sick as the day before. With Cory holding her she felt better so that is what he did. She felt better in his arms that afternoon.

As Riley and Maya headed home, Riley started sneezing.

"Don't tell me your getting sick" said Maya

"It is just my allergies" said Riley

Riley wasn't sure what her parents would do. It wasn't even time for her to be out of school and she wasn't sure if she should show up home from school early or not.

"What else can we do today" Riley asked Maya

"Let's go to my house" Maya said "My mom won't be home"

"Are you sure?" asked Riley

"I'm sure" said Maya

The walk to Maya's house wasn't far from Riley's house. Maya lived 5 blocks over from Riley which seemed like a lot but it really wasn't.

"Here we are" said Maya as she unlocked the door.

Inside Maya's house it seemed neater than usually but they weren't the only ones there. Maya and Riley not just heard Maya's Mom's voice but another voice they heard as well.

It can't be, Riley thought as she heard the voice more. It just can't be.

"Let's get out of here" said Maya as she closed the door.

"Shawn was in there" said Riley "I am positive"

As Riley and Maya walked back outside the cold air blew in their faces as they walked down the sidewalk. There wasn't much else that they could do during the day. So they decided to go and get something else to eat. There was this neat diner near the school that no one they know would be during the day.

As they entered they were seated in a booth in the front of the restaurant which Riley knew was a bad idea.

Riley ended up ordering some chicken fingers and fries. For now she felt well enough to eat but wait until later on tonight when she is home, To see what happens.

And Maya ordered the same thing.

Each Riley and May stayed at the restaurant for an hour or so.

"Back in school tomorrow' said Maya

"Yes" said Riley "Back in school"

The ditch day had turned into a double ditch day but Riley and Maya enjoyed themselves. Riley got a nice dress to wear to the dance in a couple weeks and so did Maya. They had fun with Shawn. It was an adventure the past two days and they would always remember the time they ditched school for two days.

That afternoon when Riley came home, she snuck up to her bedroom. She felt better being home now more than ever.

"Riley" said Cory from the bedroom "Detention tomorrow, right" he said

Riley couldn't believe it. She wasn't sure how Cory found out but knew she deserved it. As came into her bedroom, she sneezed

"Mommy" said Auggie as he sat in Riley's bed. "Riley's sick"

Question…Do you guys want me to start a new story for Riley or continue with this one? Thank you for all your comments. I hope you liked the store. Who do you think ratted on Riley? Shawn or Farkle?

Stay tune to find out what happens with Riley and rather her parents punish for her skipping.
