Maya hated this. She really did. This was terrible. But it had to be done. For her mom. For her. Her mom needed to move on and this is how she was going to do it. Her mom's engagement just broke and Katy was devastated, even if she acted as if it was no big deal, Maya knew it hurt her. A lot . Maya didn't really like the guy, so she was glad her mom didn't marry the asshole, he was rude and pushy and Maya didn't appreciate that. So here Maya was in Texas in front of a new school mid-semester of her third year. She moved to Texas because her mom's best friend lived there with her family. She left her whole life back in New York because she was only staying till the end of grade 11 and then she would move back and finish High school there with her best friends Riley Mathews and Farkle Minkus . If her mom didn't move back with her she would go live with Riley or Farkle to be honest when she did live there she was at Riley's house more than her own. Maya spent the car ride to school in silence once again wondering how on earth she survived this without Riley and Farkle beside her. Riley was her rock, her hope, her shining star, Riley was the one who made sure she wouldn't go too far. And Farkle he was her Farkle, the one that believed in her, the one that helped her study for every class no matter what, that one that made her feel like she worth something, the one that made her find her passion for art. It was because of Farkle and Riley Maya was in all honors. It was because of Cory Mathews Maya was ok with the fact her father left her , Topanga Mathews did everything for Maya when Katy couldn't , she was all ways there for her. Never once did Cory or Topanga treat her less than thier daughter. Same goes for Stuart and Jennifer Minkus. Maya thought about how when her father left she was awarded with two dads and three moms. She smiled at the thought, she remembered all the tears being shed at the airport, she remembered all the people who cared for her, she thought of all the things her mom sacrificed for her, she could handle Texas for a bit. Her mom's voice brought her out of her trance.
"Maya I'm so sorry really thought the house would be ready, stupid lease contract I'll call Topanga we should move in there tomorrow "
"not a problem mom don't worry "
"are you sure you want to go to school you can hang out at the bakery with me!"
"no no I think it would be best if I went to school, I'm probably going to have to get settled and whatever probably best to do it now than later"
"ok babygirl whatever you think is best" Katy sighed stopping at her school.
Maya got out gulped, took her bag kissed her mom goodbye and walked through the door . She was late she knew that. so by the time she got everything sorted out got her schedule and went to her locker she was late for her second period class French. She walked in handing the teacher her new admit slip. The teacher gave her a look and pointed harshly to a seat that was empty for Maya to sit in. Maya had a feeling she would not get along with this teacher. She sat next to this timid looking girl… though she was super shy she reminded Maya of Riley. Maya sat down smiled at the girl next to her and than her cold expression returned to her face. She didn't need any friends etc at this school she was going to finish it then go home.
"I'm sorry what?" Maya went into another one of her daydreams when she realized the teacher was calling her. The teacher Scoffed
"voilà ce qui arrive quand une fille de la ville , pense shes parfait et n'a pas besoin d'essayer . Honnêtement, vous pourriez penser que les élèves comprenaient le français seraient placées dans une classe française" (translation down below) the class chuckled .Maya's eyebrow arched , her nostrils flared, her glare was deadly
"excuse moi. mais la dernière i vérifié que vous étiez l'enseignant , cela signifie que vous êtes censé me enseigner . je suis choqué que ous essayez de me embarss en classe , est-ce parce que je suis blonde , donc je dois être stupide . mais je ne le suis pas. je suis dans advandced français , vous ne venir en étant juste stupide" Maya didn't want to be sent to the principals office or anything but this woman was judging her for no reason and Topanga and Katy always taught Maya to stand up for herself. The Class was quiet, most with wide eyes, some with confused expressions, A boy in the back was chuckling at her response
" I don't like your tone, you need to resect teacher figures " the French teacher said through tight lips.
" maybe the teacher figure should act like a teacher figure… did you get that or should I say it French " she asked her with a sweet smile.
" Miss hart you are treading on thin ice."
"blondie's got a point, go easy she's new" she whipped around to see the boy he was tall and handsome he had a small smile on his face , his green eyes challenging the teacher… he was hot but smug. Maya rolled her eyes at him.
"Mr. Friar"
"Can you just go back to the lesson , I come here to learn "
The teacher glared at her than at the boy in the back but continued her lesson. Maya had a feeling she wasn't going to like it her. Hell she was in the class for ten minutes before she picked a fight with the teacher. Maya sighed doing her worksheet in silence before the girl next to her spoke
"wow you have some guts talking back to " the small brunette said with wide eyes. Maya laughed
"to be honest with you hun I don't really care"
"I'm Dianna, I could use a friend like you" she said with a laugh. she looked at her trying to see if she was sincere.
" Want to have lunch with my friends and I MAYA?" Maya smiled at her
"umm sure"
"goodddd" Diana said it like Riley would say yay and Maya smiled but felt a tug the rest of the class droned on and Maya sat there doodling on her notebook till the bell for lunch rang.
"So Maya I'm part of glee and dance and well student council gr 11 rep"
"Wow a popstar and leader" Maya said with a chuckle as the two went to stand in line for their lunches when Maya realized people were looking at her
"quick question."
"yes?"
"why are people staring at me?" Diana laughed at her confusion
"well because you're the new kid, you're hot and smart and I'm pretty sure the French incident went around school no one stands up to the wicked witch from France like that, news travels fast in this small school" Maya shook her head with a small laugh, Diana told what lunch menu was safe to eat from this school is so weird omg Maya thought as she picked up what Diana told her to eat. She followed Diana to her table and sat down next to her.
"ok girls this is Maya" Maya gave them a small smile
"Maya this is Angela" she was pointing at a short haired brunette with glasses, the girl gave her a timid smile
"this is Megan" this green-eyed girl was busy eating but mumbled a hi
"and this is Marissa she goes by Missy though" the girl had light brown hair and clearly looked pissed
"why are you bringing in strays?" Maya chuckled at her in amusement
"what's so funny"
"you" she said simply, Diana smiled at Maya
"so Maya what you interested in? do you play any sports? Or do arts or shit like that?"
"um well I was on the varsity Baseball team and basketball team, I paint a little"
"awh that's cute you should try out for basketball and baseball!" Angela nodded encouragingly
"what positions?" Missy asked
"Pitcher and point guard" Maya said with a sweet smile at the girl who for some odd reason didn't like her which was fine by her, but the girl should know that Maya was from New York and in New York everyone's a bitch well everyone except Riley.
"uh your team must have been pretty shit if you were point guard in Varsity"
"or she was really good" Megan said
" I doubt it "
"state champions" Maya stated simply
"so art huh?" Diana inquired why are they asking so many god damn questions
"you should join the art club, I'm in it what's your medium? " Angela asked her
"um mostly painting or sketching"
"He's here guys! Shhhh" Missy rolled her eyes
"He's not gonna call you Megan, he simply fucked you and threw you away that's what he does"
"you don't know that he said he a good night"
"Yea cause you got him off" angela said throwing a fry at her
"look at him would you not fuck him"
"I hate him" Missy said with a groan
"and almost everyone has, that fucking fuckboy" Maya turned to look at who they were talking about, he was the dirty blonde boy with green eyes in her French class, he sat down and seemed to catch her gaze and he smirked she rolled her eyes once again
"Maya what do you think ?" Megan asked
"what do I think about what?"
"is he not the hottest guy like ever?"
"not the hottest but he's definitely hot"
"oh is that so?"
"he's not that great? is he?" maya turned around again trying to get a better look at the boy, he had good looks a nice jaw but from where she was she didn't get the fuss. She was best friends with a hot boy maybe they just didn't faze her?
"doesn't matter he is way out of your league" Missy said with a smirk
"I don't think so, Maya must now be the hottest girl in school look at her" Dianna said, Maya was very hot, curves in all the right places, her blonde mane framing her face perfectly. missy rolled her eyes at this comment maya laughed shaking her head
"still couldn't make him like someone like her"
"what the fuck is your problem?" Maya asked her, her rough New York ways coming in to play
"I think that you think you're the shit cause you're from New York but in reality you are probably just a bitch with no game"
"Missy stop" Dianna said firmly
"oh its ok Dianna, I am the shit. And I'm not a bitch I'm the bitch, and trust me sweetheart I've got game" said with a sweet laugh
"prove it, put your money where your mouth is Maya" Missy said throwing her name out like poison
"whose the victim?" Missy smiled deviously at Maya
"Lucas Friar." The girls in the table gasped slightly
"and who is that?" missy pointed to a table behind her
"see the blonde boy with the green eyes, the one that isn't that great. Him" Maya rolled her eyes, he couldn't be as that bad... Maya knew there was something more to the picture she was missing. If riley or frazzle were there they would've stopped her but maya was bored and thought this would be fun
"ok state the rules"
"simple, you need to get him to ask you to junior prom and at junior prom you will break the heartbreakers heart" Maya rose an eyebrow
"ok stakes?"
"My parents are the investors in a travelling agency you win i will get you four tickets for a two week vacation for wherever whenever you want "
"nice" maya was taken aback by this offer but liked the sound of it
"but if you lose, you will attend the CGA (Creativity Growth Assembly ) assembly naked" Maya froze she would never live that down. Ever. and her mom would probably kill her, but Maya wanted the cruise, she could give the vacation to her mom. plus Maya wanted to wipe that smile of her face.
"deal" she spat and the two girls sealed the deal by shaking hands.
"and the bet doesn't leave this table" Maya said as the bell rang, the girls got up from their table, Maya took another look at the blonde boy and sighed what did I get myself into?
