Maya waited hours for Riley's response watching old movies curled up in a ball with a blanket in her favourite chair in the house. She sat staring at the TV watching Batman 66 waiting for a ding-a notification-a call-some thing! She needed to know she and Riley were ok.

The fact that it had taken so long only furthered Maya's worrying! She had no idea why, she had theorized that Riley was so mad she deleted Mayas number and practically disowned her.

A few short hours after falling asleep, around 6:30, Maya woke to the sound of her mother getting ready for work. She ignored the shower and everything and tried to sleep in but she just couldn't.

"Mom?" She asked tiredly hearing some one rummaging through the cabinets in the kitchen.

"Yes Maya it's me." Her mother said cheerfully walking in to see her daughter. "Oh I wish I hadn't woke you.." She frowned. "why did you sleep out here?"

All the conversation, specifically the questions were really to much for Maya at this hour, but she had little time with her mother and was thankful she woke up anyway. So she would answer them and speak regardless to how much she just wanted to lock herself in a dark room for hours and just sleep.

"I just fell asleep here." She answered tiredly rubbing her eyes before throwing the blanket off of herself and getting up.

"Oh honey you don't need to get up." Her mom said to her. "They've canceled school for today."

"That's ok. I'll have breakfast with you." Maya said to her wanting to cherish the time.

Her mother looked sad for a moment as she pursed her lips together "oh sweety I was just heading out.." She admitted. "I have to open the diner today.."

"Oh.." Maya frowned. "See you later I guess."

"I'll see you tonight sweet heart." She replied kissing Mayas forehead before heading out.

Fortunately for Maya Riley hadn't "disowned" her, she was simply asleep when Maya sent the message. Thank God! and as soon as the brunette woke she checked her phone, as always, to see the text..

Riley wasn't sure what to do with it. She didn't even know how she felt about it. Part of her thought she should be mad, but she didn't care. And another part thought she should be happy, but she didn't care.

It was like Lucas had become irrelevant to Riley, and in the process she lost the ability to care about her best friends relationship. In saying so she was still going to be a good friend. She had to say some thing positive, and she had to say it quickly to.

Riley Text~ That's amazing Maya! I'm so happy for you! How was it?

She wasn't sure wether or not she had captured the right tone with her words but she sent it anyway. Now it was time to play the waiting game, would Maya believe her fake response? Probably. She wouldn't know for sure until school..

But when Riley checked the time on her phone it was 10:00! She slept in! She had no clue school was cancelled.

"Daddy!" Riley yelled hopping into the living room pulling her socks up the movement wasn't in her array of talents and she ended up tripping fairly quickly. "Ouch!" She groaned smacking against the floor.

"Yes Riley?" Cory asked as he turned around from the fridge to see his daughter on the floor fixing her socks. He would have sounded more surprised but he addressed her before actually seeing her. Plus, Riley was always a little clumsy, and whimsical.

"Why didn't you wake me for school!?" Riley shouted.

Cory could tell she wasn't yelling out of anger, she instead yelled, playfully? It was indeed a serious question but she yelled that way often and Cory knew she wasn't genuinely mad. "Relax Riley, it's a snow day." He said chuckling lightly.

"Oh..." She said with no emotion, she was to torn between emotions to choose how to express it. On one hand the week end already stole two days away from her friends and her friends already! Now they wanted to take another!? On another note she would get to let the whole Maya/Lucas thing blow over and show up acting normal on Monday. Most kids would be happy for a snow day, but not Riley Mathews.

"Well Where's Auggie and mom?" She asked looking around the room.

"I let Auggie stay up last night." Cory said looking at her "I didn't think you guys would have school today, so we watched a game and now he's still really tired. And your mothers at work." he finished with a nod for no apparent reason. Just his Cory nod of approval.

Riley was satisfied with his answer and skipped along into the apartments bath room debating on if she should get breakfast or instead go back to bed just to lay down for a while. Maybe fall back to sleep.

When she was done in the wash room she decided she was up and she might as well stay that way, it wasn't like she hadn't already slept in anyway.

As she sat down to ask her dad if he was making breakfast or if he already had it she heard her phone ding and took it out to read the message...
