Auggie ran out of his bedroom screaming about today's outfit choice. Lately he's been a pain in the morning, maybe because Ava was away in Florida so he was bored. Whatever it was I wanted it to end fast. My mom came running after him with his clothes in hand. I watched the amusing show for a few minutes before grabbing my bag and an apple and heading out to school.

Maya met me at my locker. "Morning Riles."

"Morning." I smiled. The lock clicked open. "So Auggie is being a real pain lately, I think it's just another faze. He's refusing to do everything, this morning he wouldn't put on pants." I turned to my locker and saw a note sticking out on top of my books.

Maya laughter paused when she was what I was looking at, "What's that?" I took the note off my math book and opened off the lined piece of paper.

Riley,

I know you still like Lucas, but get over him. He doesn't like you! I mean your childish, unattractive, clumsy airhead! So do yourself a favor and leave him alone. He's mine.

I batted my eyes to try and stop the tears from coming. Maya was about to read it when I shoved the note into my pocket.

"Riles. What was that?" Maya's eyes filled with worry, "Riles?"

"You know, I'm not feeling that good so I'll see you later." Before she could even respond I was half way to my dad's classroom.

"Dad, I need to go home." I sucked in my tears and managed to look like I'm sick.

"Okay sweetie." I'm not sure if he believed me, but I was glad he didn't ask questions. I walked down the hallway, my mind racing a mile a minute. I played with my bracelet on my wrist to distract me form braking down in the hallway. The bell rang a while ago, and I was almost to the door when I hit someone straight on. My butt landed on the floor, before looking up to see who I bumped.

I recognized those hazzle green eyes anywhere. I quickly looked away and gathered my things together. HE stood there, staring. I knew he could see I was upset, when I was done picking my stuff up he offered his hand. I ignored it pushing past him, but mistakenly looking back at those eyes. Hey were the same, kind and powerful. Worried filled them as they looked back at me.

"Riley?" I stopped and turned my body towards him. I could see his shoulders moving up and down, his moth parted barely. I couldn't stop the tears anymore. They flooded my eyes and ran to my check. I turned and headed out the door, the subway train would be leaving soon.

I popped a bag of popcorn and headed into my room. The note was written in blue ink. It was obvious to me that Missy was the one who wrote this. I grabbed a handful of popcorn before unfolding the paper.

Riley,

I know you still like Lucas, but get over him. He doesn't like you! I mean your childish, unattractive, clumsy airhead! So do yourself a favor and leave him alone. He's mine.

More tears came. Childish. Unattractive. Clumsy. Airhead. My breath became ragged, I started to cock on my sobs. She was such a little brat! My head landed on my pillow, it was throbbing. I wrapped up in a blanket and let the drossiness of crying take over me. Sleep was something that I needed right now.

Charlie and Maya were sitting at the bay window when I woke up. I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes and sat up to stretch. "Hi."

"Hey Riles." Maya seemed down; she was soft spoken and wasn't wearing a smile.

"Hey. What are you guys doing in here?"

"Your dad let us in." Maya replied, the she held up a lined piece of paper, the note. I looked down and sure enough it was missing from my bed. "Riley, are you okay?" I looked down and shook my head no.

Maya came running over and gathered me in a hug, Charlie wasn't far behind her. "You know why she wrote you that letter?" Charlie asked. Again, I shook my head no. "She sent you that because she's worried. She sees you as a threat. Don't listen to anything she says. You're strong, beautiful, and bright. You're so much better than her."

"Thank you Charlie." I gave him another squeeze before letting go, "I'm over the latter thing. I mean it hurts but I'll be okay. I just needed a day off, but I promise you I'm okay."

"Riley please tell us if she does anything else like this." Maya looked me dead in the eyes.

"Promise." We shared a smile.

"Okay well I have football practice early tomorrow so I should probable head home." I nodded towards Charlie, "And I'm taking this note."

"Wait why?" I asked confused.

"Riley the last thing you need is a mean note hanging around your room and bringing you down." Charlie gave his signature smirk.

"Thanks Charls, you're always ahead of the game." He nodded and headed out of my room.

Maya turned back to me once we heard him leave the house, "You know Riles, you've come a long way sense last year. The old you would have never been this strong."

A smile sneaked on my face, "Thanks Maya that means a lot." I gave her a hug, "Do you think your mom would be okay if you stayed over for the night?"

"Totally, I've been dying for a girls night." Maya replied. Man was I glad to have her back.

I am so excited for the next chapter! Keep reading!
