As soon as the two girls arrived home, Maya dragged Riley to the bay window.

"You are not going anywhere until you tell me what's wrong." Maya said as she eyed Riley.

"I'm fine." Riley mumbled and looked down at her shoes.

"You promised, ring power." Maya said sternly.

Riley sighed and looked up at her best friend, but before she could begin she got yet another text from the unknown number. It read 'Hahaha Riley, Maya doesn't care, your dad is paying her to be your friend because no one likes you. You're just an ugly, fat b****. You should just kill yourself.' After this message Riley couldn't hold it in any longer. She broke down and began to cry, leaning onto Maya shoulder for balance. Maya slipped the phone out of her hand and read the messages. She was in complete shock, who would ever do this to her, say such awful comments like this.

"Riley, don't believe these. You are beautiful, don't let anyone bring you down. We all love you for who you are." Maya whispers into her ear. After a few minutes Riley's breathing starts to slow down to normal and her sobbing becomes a short sharp sniffle every now and then. They just sat there like that until Cory came in and told them it was time for dinner. After dinner they stayed up late watching Netflix before falling asleep.

After waking up to find both Maya and herself lying on the bed with a dead laptop in their arms she got up and put an aqua jumper on with black leggings and white doc martins. She put her hair up into a ponytail but leaving her bangs out. She put on some natural make up and went downstairs for breakfast.

When Riley arrived at the dining table Cory and Topanga were already there starting to eat the waffles Topanga had just made.

"Morning, sweetie." Her dad said as he continued to eat and read the paper.

"Morning." Riley mumbled as she grabbed a waffle and began to pour maple syrup over it.

"Riley, I've got a case today, dad is going to spend the day hanging with Shawn and Augie is going to a friend's house today. We trust that you will behave. All we want you to do is keep the house clean. You can invite Farkle and Lucas over-"

"But no funny business." Dad warns as he interrupts his wife.

"Anyway, here's 75 dollars so you can buy lunch or if you go shopping or movie or something." Topanga said and handed it to Riley.

She gratefully took it and says "Don't worry guys I'll be safe and follow the rules, no strangers, no 'funny' business and keep the house tidy." she gulps down a bite of the waffle before smiling and saying "This is really good, mum."

Topanga smiled and kissed her forehead. She took one look at her watch and walked over to the door.

"Bye sweetie, bye Cor, say bye to the others for me."

"We will." They said in unison as she left. Almost a second after she left Maya came down the stairs black skinny jeans, a flannel shirt and brown combat boots. She had her hair in a fishtail braid and had light make up on.

"I smell waffles." She says smirking.

"Yes Maya, there is waffles not oatmeal." Riley replies before taking a bite into her own waffle

"Yaaaayyy!" Maya says the way Riley used to. Riley chuckles at her joke about how optimistic and immature she used to be. Maya goes over to the table and grabs a waffle topping it with honey. They ate in silence for a few minutes and then Auggie came down. He was already dressed he grabbed a waffle and walked towards the door.

"Come on dad let's go, you have to drop me off." He says and gulping the waffle down quickly.

"Alright see ya girls, Topanga will be back at 4:30 ish. Be careful." He says giving them both a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye dad and Auggie." Riley says

"Bye guys." Maya says. Now they have the apartment all to themselves.
