Maya sighs opening the door to her bedroom. She trudged over to her bed and laid down, her feet still touching the floor. She pulled a pillow over her face and screamed into it. The 16 year old had had a bad day at school and she was very lonely with both of her parents at work and her friends were hanging out with their boyfriends. Her cell phone had rang and almost went to voicemail before she answered it.

"Hello?" She answers glumly

"Hey Maya! I wanted to ask you something." Her cousin Jeff Hardy asks through the phone

"Sure! Anything for you, cousin." She says her voice dripping with sarcasm

"You know the QB for the football team, right?"

"Yeah, Zack Ryder. Why?" She asks confused

"He wants to go out with you." Jeff says in reply

"Well tell him I'll walk home with him tomorrow. He lives right next door to me." She says goodbye to Jeff and Hangs up the phone. Maya had a crush on Zack for the longest time. She couldn't believe what was happening and she was very excited. Maya looked out her window into the window of Zack's house and realized she was looking right into his room. He had just opened his door and was walking into his room. Maya realized he had just gotten home from football practice. He opened his window realizing Maya was staring out hers. He motioned to open her window too and she did.

"Like what you see baby?" He asks flirting with her

"Maybe." She says teasing him

"So what's the answer baby?" Zack asks flirting again

"Well, I think the answer is yes." Maya says smiling

"Okay baby. Wanna walk to school together tomorrow?"

"Sure. If I'm not still in front of the mirror by the time you get here." Maya says giggling

"Don't worry I spend way too much time in front of the mirror." Zack says and Maya laughs, "I'll see ya tomorrow babe, ok?"

"Yep, see you tomorrow." Maya went to do her homework. Zack always struggled with his homework, Maya had left her window open and so had Zack.

"Maya!" he yelled out the window, "Can you come over and help me with my homework?"

"Sure." She giggled and walked over to his house to help him with his homework.


"So how do you think you're going to do on your English test today?" Maya asked Zack while they were walking to school holding hands the next day.

"I think I'm going to pass. At least a B would be nice." Zack smiled and kissed Maya on the cheek. She blushed in return

"That's great! I hope you do good." Maya says kissing Zack on the cheek back.

"Are you walking home with me after school, too?" Zack asks

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I?" Maya asks

"Because John Morrison said you really don't like me." Zack states what he heard from John Morrison

"He's right I don't like you." Zack's face sunk, " I love you." As soon as Zack knew what Maya meant by her statement he kissed her on the lips. Maya thought the kiss lasted almost forever until it was broken by the school bell ringing

"I think we should get to class." He says laughing

"I don't." Maya says he voice overflowing with sarcasm


Zack and Maya walked home after school. Maya went over to Zack's house to do her homework and help him at the same. She was tutoring him in math and English, his two worst subjects.

"You know you are the sexiest tutor ever, baby?" Zack says getting closer to her

"I don't think the teacher is supposed to sex the student, but what the hell." Their lips met in a very passionate kiss. Zack got closer and closer until Maya's back was flat on the ground. Maya thought to herself if anyone was home they would have definitely been caught doing what they were doing. They were being really loud and nothing was holding them back. Maya eventually ended up calling her mom and asking if she could sleep over at Zack's.

"Ok, but under the rules of no smoking, no drinking, and absolutely no sex." Maya's mom told her, but she had already broken one of the rules and she wasn't smoking or drinking either. Maya ran over to her house and got everything she needed. She eventually fell asleep with her head against Zack's bare chest.
