Riley got up, grabbed Maya's crutches, and leaned them against the bed. She then grabbed both of Maya's hands and pulled her to her feet carefully.

Maya, more or less, fell forward against Riley's shoulder and groaned softly.

Riley giggled and grabbed Maya's crutches again and handed them to her.

Maya reluctantly accepted them.

Riley then sent a quick text to the boys.

'Maya and I are going to the park and we need you to come. It's important that you come.'

Riley smiled over at Maya, who was once again, figuring out her crutches.

Maya smiled back, which distracted her. She placed the crutches weirdly, making her stumble.

Riley quickly caught her and stood her upright; giggling.

Maya flashed another grin. "Not funny, Riles."

Riley laughed and said, "it really is, Peaches." She felt her phone vibrate so she took it out of her pocket. It was from Farkle.

'Sure thing, c u there.'

Riley's phone vibrated once again, this time, it was text from Lucas.

'I'll be there. Is there a problem?'

Riley didn't know how to reply to that, so she just said,

'I'll tell you when I get there.'

Riley looked over and Maya again, but this time Maya had seemed to have figured out the crutches again. She grins at her friend. "Come on, dork, they're going to meet us there."

Maya smiled. "Since when was I the dork?"

Riley laughed. "Since I said so. You have to admit you are a little crazy."

Maya smile changed to a crooked grin. "Who me?" Both of them giggled, then they headed off to the park together.

When they finally got there, the boys were already there. The two friends went up to them and greeted them.

"Hey, Lucas; Farkle. How are you," Riley asked with a smile.

Farkle smiled back but Lucas said wasn't having it.

"Don't play it off Riley, what's wrong?"

Maya looked at the ground when Riley looked at her for an explanation.

Riley sighed. "This is where it happened."

Farkle and Lucas immediately knew what she was talking about.

Riley rested her arm on Maya's shoulder as a somewhat source of comfort.

Farkle finally nodded. "That makes sense. But we should try not to worry about it. Let's just Hangout like normal."

The other three nodded and Lucas was trying not to worry or let any anger show. Luckily for him, nobody noticed. They started to walk around and talked to each other. The friends soon forgot about the bullies and they were all laughing and smiling again. But then, it happened.

Maya faced drained of color; her face was white like she saw a ghost. "That's them," she whispered under her breath.
