Tori" my mom called from downstairs. "Yeah mom" "Your cousin Maya will be staying with us for awhile" "Why" I asked harsher than I meant.
"Because her Alexandra was in a really bad accident and Jane needs to watch over her while she recovers.
"Oh well how long will she be staying and what about school" "she will be her for the rest of the year and she will attend Hollywood Arts with you and Trina."
"Ok but wait Maya is only 13 she's still in middle school."
"Yes but she was promoted and she's now a freshman" There was a knock at the door and when I opened it there was my cousin Maya with my dad.
"TORI!" Maya screamed dropping her bag and hugging me as tight as she could.
"Hey Maya it's good to see you" I said happily.
Then Trina came down and ruined the cousin moment "Tori I can't find my shoes so I'm borrowing yours" she said not looking up from her phone "Trina" Maya said bitterly "Maya" Trina said finally looking up from her phone, the room went silent as the two just looked at each other.
"Awkward" I said earning a giggle from Maya "come on Maya we should get you to school before your late your first day" "Uh… yeah sure" Maya said.
When we finally made it to school before the bell rang Andre walked up to me "Hey Tori who is this" he asked "This is my cousin Maya she's staying with us for the rest of the year for family reasons and is going to be going to school hear".
"Cool but she looks about 12 how can she go to school hear" "oh yeah she looks 12 but she's 13 and got promoted so she's a freshman" "you do know I'm right hear you can ask me these questions" Maya said irritation in her voice.
"Oh yeah sorry I'm Andre welcome to Hollywood arts" "Thanks I'm Maya which you know since Tori just told you" as Maya finished talking Jade and Beck walked up to us "hey Tori hey Andre" beck said "Vega Andre" Jade said then they noticed Maya "who's this" Beck said sweetly "This my cousin Maya she goes here now she got promoted so now she's a freshman" "wow Vega someone smart is actually related to you" Jade said.
I remembered how Maya hates when people talk about anybody in our family, I looked at Maya and she gave Jade an evil look then said "that wasn't very nice to say to Tori I think you should apologize" Jade looked shocked she quickly recovered from her look and said "I should but I won't " Beck and Andre just stood with their jaws dropped "last chance" Maya said "no I don't think I will" Jade replied. "Ok but you were warned" Maya said before I could do anything Maya put her hands in her pocket pulled out a pair of real handcuffs tripped jade and handcuffed her to a locker.
Maya took a slingshot from her backpack and a small blue paint ball she put it on the slingshot and was about to fire when Jade quickly apologized. She quickly put the slingshot away and walked over to me "Tori do you accept her apology" Maya asked I looked down at Jade who was trying to get free of the handcuff "uh…. Yeah… sure" I said "Good" she said taking out the key and unlocking Jade.
Jade got up looked at Maya shocked "Well I think the Vega's just gained a lot more of my respect" Jade said "That is why you are my favorite cousin" I said as I ruffled her hair messing it up a bit. The bell rang and Maya followed me to Mr. Sikowitz's class when we took our seats Sikowitz looked at Maya with a confused look on his face.
"Vega" he shouted "Yes" Maya and I said at the same time "both of you come here" he said we walked to the front "what is it Sikowitz" I said. "Who's the 12 year old and why is she here" Maya interrupted me before I could say anything "first I'm 13 not 12 and second I will go here for the rest of the school year I got promotedand last I'm Tori's cousin Maya.
"Oh ok then class this is Maya Vega". The day went on and Maya was in half of my classes and half of Trina's. The bell for lunch rang and I was at my locker waiting for Maya when I saw her running and chasing her was Trina with a blue dot on her head .Maya ran and tried to hid behind me but Trina grabbed her by the back of her shirt and slammed her against my locker. Maya looked at me with pleading eyes and I made a puppy dog pout and she understood she looked at Trina and did the cutest puppy dog pout I've ever seen and said
"Trina I'm really really sorry I didn't mean to it was a accident" Trina's eyes softened and she let go of Maya and gave her a hug and said
"Aww it's ok maybe I over reacted a little can you forgive me" Maya looked up a Trina and nodded her head
. When Trina walked away we headed to lunch we got our lunch and stated talking then Beck, Andre, Jade, Cat, and Robbie. "Hey guys" I said they sat down and Robbie and Cat looked at each other. "Oh yeah Cat Robbie this my cousin Maya she goes here now but only for the year she is young but she is super smart and got promoted so she's freshman."
"Oh" Cat and Robbie said in union. The rest of lunch went by and every time I looked at Maya she was staring at Cat. Lunch was over and the rest of the day flew by before I knew it school was over I went looking for Maya and found her sitting at a desk talking to Cat I don't know what they were talking about but when they saw me they stopped talking and Cat got up and left saying she would meet her tonight at seven. When Cat was gone Maya turned to me a huge grin on her face and said "best first day ever."I smiled at her comment and we were on our way home.
