Mayas P.O.V
"Miss Johnson I presume?"
"Umm yes and you're?" I asked a little agitated by the sudden halt.
"The name is Pierre Hudson mam" he formally extended his hand.
'Such formality, it reminds me of my home days, I hate it!' I looked at his hand and decided to shake it, although I hated shaking people's hands. I mean who knows where they had been.
"Hi! How can I help you?" I tried to get rid of him. I hated small talks, especially old small talks; it made me sound like an old loner with thousand cats.
"Forgive me but I just wanted to introduce myself, I couldn't help but realize how good looking youโre" he showed confidence and hope.
'Did he just stop me because Iโm beautiful, seriously itโs my first day and this happens? Such an idiotic idea and first impression.'
"Pardon me I'm late for my first class, although I will say thank you for the complement, youโre very kind and it's even my first day" I
Maxineโs P.O.V "Yo! What class you got?" Cie maneuvering with me through the students getting out of the showers after our P.E class. We had our own showers. 'Ok! Not to sound weird but we never shared a shower, we just had two showers at the long end nobody used but us'. "Iโm not sure but lemme check. Why you asking anyways, we on the same classes?' I asked suddenly confused. "Broh! You know I aren't gonna be in classes you aren't, its ride or die bitch" Cie exclaimed happily enjoying using me. I looked at her dead in the eyes 'I swear I can never get rest from her, I mean I love her to death and she's probably the only thing I love in this world, well except for my.......no! no! I am not gone think about that person not now, not ever!' Cie, realizing I had been lost in my own thoughts nudged me. "Man you know you love me; you can't get enough of this" she said as matter of fact pointing at her whole b
Maya’s P.O.VTime flew by fast as I was drinking my coffee alone in my home room thinking about my teaching days at kindergarten and the new school I was in. I didn’t want to join the other teachers in the kitchen.'I mean talk about what, the weather and how kids are, that’s just too boring'.I heard the bell ring so I decided to prepare for the next class.'Seniors for English, oh so help me God I don’t get irritated and kill someone, this hormonal teenagers!' I thought thinking about how troublesome teenagers are.'I mean they have this mentality of thinking they know it all when in truth they do not realize they are just getting to know life'.There was the junior book I had taken out to check up on what will be learnt so I decided to take it back to my classroom storeroom to get the senior one. Whilst in my storeroom I heard noises coming from my homeroom, like serious noise.
Dribble, dribbleโฆโฆ. โFuck!โ I thought failing miserably in scoring. I had been in the gym the whole day. Well not the whole day but I kind of was. I gave up, sat down on the bleachers with my hands on my head I huffed frustrated. โI swear I heard someone say they wanted her, and that sheโs the one but who. I donโt get it how and who because there were no words being exchanged, in fact it seemed the noise died down. Anyways, it cannot be her right. I mean that lady right there canโt be more than twenty five years old. She looks young and clearly not Miss Johnson from my kindergarten. Itโs a shame I never knew her name, Iโm sure thatโs her little sister, but why would her family be everywhere I go? This is confusing!โ I huffed and laid my head on the bleachers behind me looking at the roof still conflicted. โI mean why did I leave class? That was not her, Iโm sure! It canโt be her. I mean her eyes were crescent black not seas blue.โ โI need some
Mayaโs P.O.V โWhat just happened?โ My day went by hazy as I continued teaching. Although I would glance at the door from time to time waiting. โMaybe he will come backโ I assured myself. I donโt know why I cared but I just wanted him back. Before I knew it class was over. I was so relieved but still trouble about the student that did not return. โYou know what, I need to act like I donโt care. Like it was a normal day and a student just felt like he didnโt want to learn. I need to report him to the principalโ โGoodbye Miss Johnsonโ some student lady crew sang in unison. And yeah there was Macie with them, all hulled up around her like a magnet. โGoodbye kids, and enjoy your day. Stay safeโ I smiled back at them. โYes mamโ Macie saluted me like a soldier. I just laughed at her as I beckoned she leave. Closing the door behind me I made my way to the principal. โIโm sorry pal, but I have to report
Maxโs P.O.V โCreek creek creekโ alarm buzzer went off. โMmhhh, Iโm upโ I said to no one but myself. I woke up feeling lazy, tired, like I had been running thousand miles. I tried sitting up on my bed with my legs on the floor or better yet standing but it was no use. I just ended up sitting at the edge of my bed face palming myself facing down trying to shake the feeling of tiresomeness, but it wasnโt going away. โAghโ I cried softly as I positioned myself back to bed, lying facing up. I looked at the ceiling thinking of the feeling I was having. I wanted to wake up so bad but my body was refusing me. I closed my eyes for what felt like forever and rested for a bit but when I opened them, I still felt the same. โMaybe a jog will restore my energyโ I thought as I jumped out of the bed ignoring how weak I felt. I didnโt want my day to be all about weakness and laziness. I got up and got dressed. I took my phone m
PRESENT DAY Well now you understand the whole gist, I feel for my new teacher and a girl I hated with everything in me and I liked it more than I liked I kissing a boy. โSo what you go say, natural or not, since you like acknowledging things? Anyways back to the โI need to let my mother and world know thingโ Dude this thing came to me like a hurricane. I just fell for someone naturally and I never questioned it. I mean if we were meant to declare then I expect that they themselves tell us. โOh hey Iโm straight. I met someone and I found out Iโm straightโ. I mean I fell naturally, no influence or pushovers like the boy I kissed, just like all straight people do; so letโs proclaim then! I mean I donโt get it, why should I alarm the world that I am me. There is diversity for a reason right?โ I was fuming a bit inside my mind. This internal talks got me all worked up. โItโs like this thing when someone expects you to say โhey I liedโ canโt you se
Mayaโs P.O.V โMacie see me pleaseโ I asked as she collected her books together ready to leave. The day had gotten really slow. There was nothing much but teaching students, at that moment of teaching I had realized there was someone missing in the seniorโs class. โYes mamโ Cie stated drooling at me a bit. It was kind of compelling but inappropriate, I felt invaded but I had to act like I did not see what she was doing. โIโd rather you call me Miss, mam makes me feel so old, ha haโ I laughed with Cie as she nodded. โYour friend Max, what happened, he hasnโt been in class?โ Cie just laughed at me. I donโt know what I had said that was funny but she had that questionable look. I wanted to read her mind but with the way she was looking at me I decided against it. I did not want to know what she was on her mind, all was written on her face. โDid I say something funnyโ I sarcastically asked confused. โNothing
A YEAR AGO โHey girl, wanna show me some love?โ I heard a stupid voice and I knew that sound and intention all too well to entertain it. โIn your dreams, creepโ I responded to the guy who had been following me. I saw him in town twice, he kept giving me creepy pedophile eyes. It reminded me of Michael. I acted like I didnโt see him. I just wanted him gone, but I guess I was wrong. โAnd here we areโ โYou know you want thisโ he grabbed his nut sack. โGross!โ โGross!โ I let it out scrunching up my nose showing him how disgusted I was. โFagot!โ he looked pissed off at my reply. Well thatโs what he wanted out of me anyways, to annoy me and prove himself. โOh shame such saddening desperationโ โIโve heard better!โ I continued still walking pissing him off more. โDykeโ he chimed behind me getting angrier and gaining pace. โTry something out of the dictionary, or human intellectโ
Maya's P.O.V “Hey stop!” Sebastian shouted at Max.She had just jumped out of the car and rand like a shooting bullet.“Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian drive!” I roared, they were catching up on us.I saw Naya waving at me with a wicked smile.“We are dead!” Sebastian was trying to lose them.“I said drive faster!” He was taken back like I was.“What about Max?”“We'll catch her later, now drive faster” I shook the steering wheel like the car was going to move any faster.Panicked, the tires screeched as we drove off faster.As we drove, we were silent. I was thinking of the next move, and Sebastian was hyperventilating.“Quit it!” I was angry.‘He got me into this hot mess’“Sorry!” He mumbledHe was making me sick in my stomach.I hadn't taken bloo
PRESENT DAY ‘Fuck this’ I got out of the car, and I ran as fast as my feet could take me.Maya's P.O.V‘Why am I suddenly interested in a girl, and that kind of a girl?’The feeling of anxiety was creeping on me, I felt myself getting weak on the knees.‘Well she doesn't look like a girl, but still, she is a girl. I need to see this girl clearly. I need to get closer’ my thoughts were raging as I made my way out of the car.She was running away.“Maya!....” I could hear Sebastian calling. It was faint, but I was too troubled to entertain him.‘Isn't that her brother coming back with a male figure? I guess that's not their father, and she probably has trust issues with the police, but why did she allow the brother to drive there from the start? Uh, why am I cracking my head over this girl’ I scratched my head as I felt a small head
Panic hit me.“I don't know them” I answered, ignoring the sting on my left cheek.“You are lying to us” the male officer holding my hands slapped me really hard. I felt that one, it was all up in my face. I ignored the pain again.I realized that I was in their world. I had to play their game, or I would find myself in a dire pickle.“I'm serious, I don't know them. Where is Sydney?What did you do to him? I want to see him. He will assure you I don't know anything” I assured looking at them one by one.I don't know why, but it was like i was watching a movie of myself. I couldn't feel anything at that moment, but anger.I felt a hard slap again on my other cheek, and another and another. It started to sting some more, but I was numb inside. I could tell they were not going to entertain my innocence. They just wanted the truth, their own way.“Where are the computers?” A male offic
FOUR HOURS AGO Maya's P.O.V “I couldn't get them.Damn kids of this days, they are so fast”Sebastian huffed facing down trying to catch his breath.“Getting old? I asked”It was funny to watch him struggle.“Definitely not!” He coughed for a moment.‘Well that was a bust’ I sighed.I mean, the whole reason we were there was for those two.And now that we don't have them on sight, I guess it was back to square one.“Did you see him?” Sebastian interrupted my train of thought.“Ummm...”I truly didn't see him.I was too busy gawking at the girl the boy was running with. She looked so familiar.So warm.“You weren't paying any attention were you?” Sebastian asked, but I was still zoning.‘Why did she look familiar?’&ld
No one's P.O.V โI. need. Toโฆโ Sam was trying to catch his breath.โListen, I need see your bossโ Sam tried getting attention from the lady in front of him, but it was no use. She was too engrossed to entertain him.โIโm sorry Sam, your father is busy right now. He's with someone importantโ The woman pointed at the door to the chief policeโs office.โListen Wonder....โ Sam tried reasoning, but the woman in front of him wasn't having it. She was adamant on her responses.โSam...โ She huffed looking tired, realizing that Sam wasnโt going anywhere, nor was he promising not to bother her.โ...you should take a seatโ she finished, clearly not interested in what the young man had to say.Sam decided to obey and take the sit he was offered. Whilst sitting, he was busy fidgeting with his fingers, like he was about to break them. As he sat, his nerves got the best of him. He looked down, his right hand rubbing his palms. It seemed they were sweating, he was suddenly rubbing them on his trouser
Max's P.O.V We were rushing through the corridors. Sam had decide to follow me, for some reasons I didn't know about.The moment he saw me leaving he followed.“Why are you following me? Damn!”I was agitated by his presence. I didn't know him that well. I had so much to deal with, than to deal with him too.For all I know he could be with them.“Ding!” The elevator opened.“Wha…”Maya's P.O.VThe elevator doors opened revealing a unique face.A face that intrigued me more.“There...”Sebastian took off running chasing after them. I just stood there dumb folded. It was like I couldn't move.My whole body felt heavy and warm.Max's P.O.V‘It's them. Wait, Miss Johnson!’“Run!” I turned to Sam to give him a heads up.
Maya's P.O.V โUmmm, where are we going now?โ Sebastian kept glancing outside the window as we passed the streets. It seemed he wasn't sure about the destination either.โThere are some flats they said I will encounter up the heelโ he confirmed my thought dismissively. โWho said?โ I was still pressing matters. He was glaring ahead not giving me a second chance, not even a glance.โI think this is itโ he motioned as he packed his car.โShall we?โ He asked as he tilted his head outside to look at the building.Yeah! And I didnโt forget that he ignored my question, I just chose to let him be. I wanted to see if his story was going to pen out.โYeah, I think this is the placeโ He locked his car after we got out, and tossed the keys to his jacket pocket.Suddenly I felt dizzy. It was like I was about to puke. I held my waist as my other hand leaned on his car. โMy Q....Maya are you alright?โ Sebastian questioned as he held my back rubbing it a bit. It wasnโt helping in any way, ins
Max's P.O.V My mind was fuzzy. I had been waiting for the elevator to open for minutes. โWhy can't it open?โ I arrived at my destination, not sure how I got there though. โOh, Max. Jeremy says hi...โ โJohan, nice to see you, hey Jeremyโ I waved โHe doesn't get it does he?โ Johan inquired looking at Jeremy, then back at me. โNop!โ I waved one last time, then shifted my gaze back to Johan โHe too desperate. It's not cuteโ โI know! Can you occupy him while I try running away from his stare. You know if I don't leave he'll come here, and he will start talking nonstop, until...โ โโฆuntil you reach your destination. I know. Anyways let me help you with the elevatorโ Johan took out his card and opened the elevator. Only to find a couple inside the elevator making out. โMmhhhh!โ Johan murmured. I just laughed and felt bad for them. โJohan can be crazy at timesโ โYou two out!โ He pointed to the couple. โ...you in!โ He pointed at me. He was authoritative like that. Too nice
PRESENT DAYMaya's P.O.V“Sebastian, I was there remember? I wasn't even young to forget”he was dragging the whole story.“Yes, but you were never outside that day. You do not know what happened next”“What do you mean?” he caught my attention.“When the Oracle got outside, you remember my great grandfather left to monitor the dining?” Sebastian inquired creasing his eyes together.“Yes, father asked that he foresee if food was prepared” he was consistent with dragging me along with him. It was taking forever.“Indeed, but surprisingly when he got to the feast he found out that the oracle had told some of the people of Redland the same story”“What story? This is dreading Seb...”“Patience!” He hushed me.“The story was about a child who would be born touched by God. T
