The phrase that got Riley's parents to let her go back to school was "If she doesn't go back, she'll just get more depressed. She told me herself that she's going insane being kept in the house all day."

I don't really know how it worked, but it did, and Riley is starting school again today. I figured I'd feel better once she was allowed to go back, but it actually just makes me worry -- Suzy could easily target her again.

"Are you sure you want to go back to school? I mean, aren't you afraid of --"

"Suzy Baker? No." And that was where the conversation ended.

The school day went pretty well, but that stopped when I was walking out of the building with Riley.

"Well, well, look who's back! Little Miss Riley Matthews. You know, Riley, it's a shame your suicide attempt was a big fat fail." As Suzy walks toward us, I can feel Riley's entire body tense up, and she squeezes my hand.

"Leave her alone. It's your fault she even tried to commit suicide in the first place." I step in front of Riley, completely ready to fight Suzy if need be.

"Oh, Maya. You don't think I know that? It's what I wanted. But I would have been happier if she'd succeeded." She glares at Riley, who grabs hold of the back of my shirt and whispers in my ear.

"Please, can we just go home?"

"No!" I turn around, meeting her huge brown eyes. "Don't you want her to leave you alone?"

Her sad look turns to anger. "Yes. But I don't need you trying to be a hero and save me. All you're going to do by fighting and arguing with her is make her want me dead even more. It's not just me she's after, Maya, it's you too. And she knows exactly what your weakness is."

She doesn't even have to say what it is, because I know. She's my weakness.

"O-Okay. I'm sorry, Riley."

And with that, I walk past her and out the door.

Not even realising that I'm leaving Riley and Suzy alone together -- a mistake that could have horrible consequences.
