Riley awoke at 10:00 AM. She looked for the remote on her nightstand. She realized that she didn't even have a TV to watch. Why on Earth did she bring the remote? Riley groaned and threw it to the wall. She then remembered yesterday's events.

She had met a girl with long blonde hair. She grabbed her hair. "All I have is brown." Riley muttered. She thought it was dull and common while Maya's was unique and pretty. A knock startled Riley. "Aah! Don't come in!" Riley snapped.

She heard a sigh and Cory entered. She threw a pillow at him. "Are you deaf?!" She complained loudly. "I wish I was." He sighed. "Come eat. Your mom cooked." Riley rolled her eyes.

"I don't want her food. I want the food that Mr. Wright made." She frowned. "Riley, we can't have a butler." Riley shot up.

"Why?! Because you want me to be nice?! News flash, I'll never be nice!" Cory sat her down and sighed. "I still have faith." He left his daughter's barely furnished room. She just stood there. Did he really have faith? She never even did anything to deserve his faith.

She heard a knock. It wasn't coming from her door. She looked out her window and it was none other than Maya. She gasped and opened the window. "What are you doing?!" Riley yell whispered. Maya laughed. "Visiting you." She pushed Riley away softly and entered. "H-Hey! You weren't invited in!" Maya sighed. "Can I come in?" She asked. "Well, you're already in now…" Maya almost laughed at her friend but remained silent.

"Why are you here?" Riley asked. Maya's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Friends usually visit each other." Riley gagged in disgust. "Seriously?" Maya nodded. "Ugh… why?" She asked. Maya shrugged. "Uhh… I don't know. I guess it's just the norm." Riley rolled her eyes. How could she not know about her own society? "Fine. Sit." Maya tried to sit on the bed. "No! Window." Riley pointed to the window.

Maya sighed and sat. Riley sat across from her. "What are you doing? Come sit next to me." Riley shuddered but sat next to her anyway. 30 seconds went by before Riley asked another question. "Do friends sit next to each other?" Maya nodded. Another silence swept over them. "We just… sit?" Maya looked at her. "Would you rather go outside?" Riley thought about it. She never had a friend who did what she wanted to do. All she had was rich snobby family. Others just wanted her money.

Riley smiled. "Yes." Maya couldn't believe it. She just randomly smiled. Riley didn't seem like a person who would smile a whole lot. "Oh. Okay, then. Outdoors we go." Maya stood up and walked out of the window. "Why are we going this way?" She asked. "Well, we don't wanna get caught, now, do we?" Riley shrugged and followed her down the fire escape. At the end of the stairs, Maya jumped and landed with an "Oof!" Riley felt fear. "I-Is that safe?" Maya dusted herself off. "Yeah." Riley looked down, suddenly remembering her fear of heights. "Um… I have a fear of heights!" Maya sighed and raised her arms in the air. "I'll catch you." Riley took a step back. "Aw, come on, Riley! Experience life! Be brave. I will catch you." Maya made a "Jazz hands" motion causing Riley to giggle. "Fine. If I break a leg or something I'll make you pay for the hospital bill. Even though I'm rich." Maya laughed. "Whatever. I won't let that happen." Riley took a deep breath and jumped. Maya caught her and felt a muscle pull. She almost screamed but bit her lip instead. "Whoa… You must be really strong!" Riley mused. "Nah… you just weigh like 5 pounds." Maya's arm begged to differ. She put Riley down and felt her arm go stiff. She couldn't even move it.

"Oh, my God! What happened to your arm?!" Riley quickly noticed Maya's arm go limp. "Nothing. Let's go." Maya walked past Riley, leaving her completely confused. She followed her anyway. "So, where are you taking me?" Riley said. "Central Park." Riley looked at Maya's arm. It was just… dangling with no life. It was quite disturbing. "Are you sure you want to go there?" Maya turned around causing Riley to bump into her slightly. "What? Is something wrong?" Maya asked. Riley chuckled. "There's something very wrong." Maya narrowed her eyes. "You're new here. I don't want something dumb like my arm to stop you from making the world yours." Riley coughed. The air was kind of cold and made her throat sore. "The world? Mine? Hilarious." Riley said sarcastically.

She started walking but Maya stopped her. "Riley. I just met you but I know you can make the world yours." Riley stared at Maya. "You don't mean that! When you get to know me, you'll know I'm a terrible person! I'm spoiled and rich!" Maya's brows furrowed once again. She didn't think that Riley was spoiled. She'd seen much worse. Maybe occasionally Riley would be rude or try to uphold her reputation, but she couldn't help it. She was raised with luxury. Riley didn't think the same though. She began to panic. She pulled Maya's arm extremely hard and heard numerous cracks. Maya screamed in agony and Riley fled with fear. She ran back into her house. They didn't really go that far, to be honest.

Maya bit her lip again. She felt weak and collapsed. A couple holding hands found her about 3 minutes after she fell. The guy rudely took out his phone and played the "Bruhh" sound. His girlfriend hit his arm and bent down near Maya. "I'm gonna call an ambulance, okay?" She said sweetly. Maya nodded. To keep her busy, the boy began to talk to her while his girlfriend called for help. "I'm sorry about the sound that came from my phone. My name is Gabe. She's Vanessa. What's your name?" He asked. "Maya. I'm 12." Gabe nodded. "I'm 16. Vanessa's a month older than me. How did this happen?" Maya sighed. "I said the wrong thing to the right person." Gabe sighed. "I see what you mean. When I asked out Vanessa for the first time, she kicked my uh… you get the point. She kind of panicked and ran away from me. Maybe it's common." Maya and Gabe laughed. "For a teenage boy, you're pretty sweet." Maya said.

"Maybe your friend will realize the same thing. Just not for a date. Right?" He asked. She blushed. "No, No, No. She's a girl." Gabe shrugged. "You never know…" Vanessa jumped next to him and kissed his cheek. "The ambulance is on their way, Maya. I told them how your arm looks and they said that you may have dislocated it first, then broke it. So you'll need a cast…" Maya groaned. She hated casts. They were rock hard, heavy and made you smell like death when they finally took it off. "We'll go with you to the hospital. Just to be sure." Gabe said. Vanessa agreed. "We'll call one of your parents, eventually."

The ambulance arrived quickly and Maya got onto a stretcher. "Guys, I can walk." She complained. "Precautions, ma'am." Maya looked at Gabe and Vanessa who both shrugged. They all got in the ambulance and drove to the hospital. Maya wasn't angry at Riley. Just very, very confused.

At least Gabe and Vanessa were helping her.

Happy Halloween! I was bullied today and didn't really want to write but I tried :/

Fun fact: Gabe and Vanessa weren't part of my original plans but now they're probably going to make a huge difference!
