Hey guys this is my new story and it's set in Austin Texas! Hope you enjoy :)
"Morning goofballs" Maya yawned as she sluggishly trampled through the door.
"Morning Maya" I sighed from the couch.
"Ugh what you watching?" she grumbled dropping onto the couch.
"I don't know, I'm still asleep" I replied in a monotone turning the power button off roughly.
"Wow is Riley a wittle grumpy pants when she has no sleep?" she asked in a baby voice throwing her legs onto my lap.
"Night Maya" I whispered.
"Night Riley."
"Morning ladies let's get going. It's vacation time" he shouted as he came running in with Auggie on his shoulders.
"Daddyyy... It's 6am can't we just rest a little longer" I groaned sitting up slowly with Maya.
"Yeah Mr Mathews it's way too early to be dealing with your-"
"Maya I know you get cranky in early mornings" I warned giving her 'the look'.
"...your amazingly upbeat mood" Maya finished in frustration.
"Good save" I mumbled patting her shoulder.
"Well actually girls it's 5am but who's care right? We're going on vacation!" he chanted as he ran around the room with Auggie.
"Ugh" we both groaned falling asleep on each other like zombies.
"Cory calm down even I can't deal with you" mum laughed as she came over to me and Maya.
"Come on get up we're going" she said grabbing are hands pulling us up.
"Umm Maya?"
"Yes?" she responded confused.
"Umm what are you wearing?" she asked stifling a laugh.
"Oh... yeah I couldn't be bothered to get changed so I just came in my pyjamas" she answered walking over to her suitcase.
"Well ok then" she laughed as she rounded up everyone's luggage. "Everyone ready? Has everyone got everything? Oh Maya did you pack enough clothes for the summer?"
"Yes Mrs Mathews"
"Did you pack enough toiletries?
"Yes Mrs Mathews"
"Do you have all your electronic devices that you may need?"
"Yes Mrs Mathews"
"Oh Oh! Do you have your phone in case you need to call your mother?"
"Yes that comes under electronic devices Mrs Mathews. It's not like I am going to call her anyway."
"Maya, sweetie you need to called your mother."
"I don't think she would pick up anyway."
"Maya did you-"
"Mum I think you have covered all the bases can we go now?" I questioned getting bored of ramble. Maya used to feel about weird about the interrogation but I guess now she kind of likes it. It makes up for what her mother never does.
"Honey everything is fine we can go now" dad called from the door that was now wide open with the luggage clustered around it.
"Umm okay" she responded cautiously as she looked over the room once again.
"Ok um oh wait-"
"Ugh" we groaned as we walked to the lift and headed to the ground floor of the apartments.
"Ok we can relax now; we're all in the car let's get to the airport." Dad sighed as he began to reverse out of the car park. "How about we play-"
"No chorused throughout the car with a subtle yes from Auggie.
"So Maya are you excited to go on a plane?" I asked feeling a bit more awake than I was back at the apartment.
"No! Just let me catch up on some sleep" she grumbled turning away from me.
"What's wrong with her?" Auggie asked glancing at Maya.
"Nothing Auggie, she's just tired" I sighed giving him a side hug.
"Maya?" he questioned quietly.
"Yeah Auggie?" she sighed turning around to face him. Everyone knew Maya had always had a soft spot for Auggie; she treated him as if he were her own brother.
"Are okay?" he whispered quietly knowing she was tired.
"Yeah I'm fine buddy" she replied before he reached up and gave her a hug.
"Awe this is why you should always sit in the middle" she giggled.
Maya's POV
I can do this, I can do this.
"Are you ok Maya? Riley asked as glancing over at me.
"Y-yeah I'm fine" I answered to be responded with a raised eyebrow.
"Okay... well I've never actually ever been on a plane" I admitted to my best friend.
"Oh well don't worry just chew this" she said handing me a piece of gum.
"What's this for?" I asked worriedly.
"It's just so your ears won't pop" she responded calmly.
"Pop, WHAT? I shout-whispered.
"Don't worry it doesn't hurt just relax" ok relax, I can do that. Just relax. Heck I can't do this.
"Umm Maya just relax, the flight will be over before you know it"
"Okay... and Riley?"
"yeah?"
Don't speak a word of this. You may be my best friend and all but nobody ruins my reputation" I stated seriously.
"Okay Maya, this stays between you and me" she responded smiling as she handed Auggie his colouring book from his bag beside me.
"Do you guys want to colour with me?" Auggie asked us both innocently.
"No thanks Auggie-"
"It's Mr Googly" he interrupted.
After both sharing a glance we both turned to him hesitantly. "How could we say no?" I sighed as he passed me a colour and a sheet from his book.
"I did it to make Maya feel better" she whispered into Riley's ear as he handed his sister her colours.
"I know you did; you're a great brother" Riley whispered giving him a high five.
"So Riles have you ever been to Texas?" I asked as I began to colour.
"No I want to meet this old friend of dad's though, they seem pretty cool from what I have heard" she responded casually.
"Ok lets go grab out bags and then go to the meeting point" Mr Mathews said excitedly practically running over to the convey belt.
"Oh god, I see boots and hats" I whispered in Riley's ear as an old man walked passed me carrying a hat.
"Maya we are in Texas" Riley giggled as she grabbed her suitcase. "What did you think you were going to see?"
"Lots of cars and a subway and apartments and-"
"Maya not everywhere is like New York"
"Well it's should be" I defended grabbing her suitcase.
"Hey y'all my names Maya" I began in a Texan accent.
"Maya not everyone actually speaks like that" Riley warned.
"You know this is how I deal with things" I defended laughing as Riley began to laugh too.
"That's right mam" Riley said tipping her none existent hat.
"Cory!" I heard someone shout from behind us.
This is going to be a long summer.
I wonder who they are going to meet? Anyone want to review and have a guess who?
