They should have never met..
She was beautiful, from the inside and the outside, the popular girl in class. Her long brown hair swaying in the wind. Her brown eyes sparkling. A smile always on her lips.
What was not to love about Maya? Everybody liked her, she was really nice and never judged anybody, everybody wanted to be her friend, she was a good listener and always comforted everybody. She was everybody's favorite. She always sat in the front of the class, paying attention and writing notes. She only never looked at the back of the class.
Chris on the other hand.. She was quite, never said a word, forgotten and ignored. She was the opposite of Maya, she was not popular, nor smiling all the time. Everybody had kind of forgotten she was there. Sitting in the back of the class. Her blonde hair long and always in a ponytail. Her blue eyes watching everybody. Nobody ever talked to her, nor acknowledged her. She didn't get bullied, no, she was to invisible to the rest. Sometimes she would smile, thinking about something nice, but nobody ever saw..
Maya smiled as she got handed an invitation to yet another party. "I'll try to be there," she said, making the other smile," But I can't promise!" She put the card in her schoolbag. The bell rang and she walked outside the classroom. She sighed as a horde of people followed her, all talking to her, asking her if she wanted to lunch with them. She politely refused all invitations for lunch, she wanted to be alone for a bit. As soon as the staircase was in sight, Maya fled to the top of the stairs, leaving the others behind. The stairs lead to the rooftop. Maya opened the door to the roof. Not many people knew of this place and she was one of them. Curious as she was, she peeked along the door. Her eyes widened.
Chris waited until everybody was out of the classroom before leaving herself. She sighed to herself. Usual spot for me, she thought, alone… She walked past the large group surrounding the popular girl. She got quickly to her spot, enjoying the sunlight that stroke her face. She dropped her bag on the ground and sat down on the ground. She leaned back to the fence, closing her eyes. Time passed by as she enjoyed the sunlight and the slight breeze. She opened her eyes as soon as she heard the door open. Who is that? She thought, nobody knows of this place. Her eyes widened as she saw the pretty face of Maya, the popular girl from her class. She blushed and quickly stood up. She was not planning on sitting here. I'm socially awkward, she thought, I can't handle this!
"Oh no!" Maya quickly said, as Chris stood up," Please! Sit, I didn't mean to disturb you." Chris stood there, very insecure and unsure of what to say. Maya walked towards her and sat down, next to the spot Chris sat a second ago. "Would you like to have lunch with me?" Maya asked, smiling brightly at Chris. Chris blush intensified and she sat down. She just stared at Maya, as she pulled out her lunchbox. "It's nice weather, don't you think?" Maya asked, trying to start a conversation. Chris nodded, taking a bite out of her chicken sandwich. It was silent for a while, both girls eating their lunch.
"Why are you even talking to me?" Chris asked, staring at the ladybug who had decided to sit on her knee. Maya almost chocked on her drink as she heard those words. "Why not?" she asked, unsure. "Because…you're popular and I'm obviously not.." Chris said. "Even if I am, why wouldn't I want to talk to you?" Maya smiled at her," You seem nice." Chris looked shocked at her. Maya just smiled. The school bell rang and Maya stood up. "I'll see you around." Chris nodded. Maya walked to the door, looked back and waved at Chris. As she walked down the stairs, she suddenly realized something. She never asked her name…
