Thanks for coming back to Chp.2! Means the world to me! Not realy. But still, thanks:)
Maya slid into the small room, Jacob following. The door shut extremely loud, and an old wobbly woman rushed to aid them. "Ah, you must be the Swan kids, follow me." She gestured towards a small office. She rushed back behind her long desk and sat down. Maya and Jacob sat down in front of her. "I am Mrs. Curseman" she said simply Maya and Jacob flashed quick grins, then focused back in. "I'm Maya and this is my brother Jason" She said pointing towards Jacob. Mrs. Curseman grinned. "We made an appointment to arrange our enrollment" Maya finished professionally. Mrs. Curseman smiled again and let it stay on her face. She ruffled through her papers a moment, found whatever she was looking for then studied it. "Wow Jacob, I'm quite impressed, 10th grade A.P courses really?" Jacob blushed and said "Yes ma'am" Mrs. Curseman looked shocked.
After about 3 more hours with the old woman Maya and Jacob where itching to get out of her presence. She was extremely fake and treated them like children. "Just let me call an office aid and I'll get you your schedules and a student can show you where your classes will be" Mrs. Curseman said rushing into the back. Jacob and Maya stood up. Maya bowed her head "Oh god please don't let me be alone!" She looked up at Jacob who seemed equally nervous. Mrs. Curseman returned as fast as she had left and handed them both a slip of paper. Maya and Jacob compared their classes. They had math, history, English, and science together. Jacob let out a sigh of relief and Maya looked up confused. "Excuse Mrs. Curseman?" Maya said pointing down at her schedule "This says art 2, I'm in art 5 now" Mrs. Curseman studied the paper, "Oh brother. Tell Mrs. Lee when you visit her class, won't you dearie?" Mrs. Curseman said fake concern gripping tightly over her irritation.
Alice pranced back into the room with another tall boy, he seemed upset, like he was holding something back and somehow Maya liked it. "Oh Maya, right?" Alice said "I didn't know we were helping you." Alice said trying to stay chipper but she glanced back at the boy behind her "Ya Maya, and Jacob, apparently you get the joy of showing us your wonderful haven" Alice stared at them a moment her golden eyes flickering back and forth between them. Then slowly she reached for Jacob's schedule and in the blink of an eye she and Jacob were gone. Maya stood in front of the disturbed boy. Maya reached out to shake his hand "I'm Maya" She said pleasantly, the boy stood in front of her a moment longer than with the voice of an angel, a very pissed off angel he said "I know, I'm Edward" He stated grimily he seemed happier now but Maya felt a wall between them. Edward took her schedule and led her out the building. He led her from class to class, introduced her to teacher after teacher, then finally got to her last class of the day art. After Edward introduced them Mrs. Lee the art teacher smiled, "Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Curseman said to tell you I am an art 5 student." Maya said slowly. Mrs. Lee was surprised and happy at the same time "Oh goodie now I have 2!" She said, "Looks like you have an art partner Edward!" Mrs. Lee stated ecstatically. Edward cringed as if the idea of spend 45 minutes next to me every day might kill him.
After things were sorted out with Mrs. Lee Edward led Maya back across the small parking lot. Just before he opened the door Maya decided that he had been rude enough for one trip, "You're a jerk!" Maya stated boldly standing in front of the office doors. Edwards face cringed as the wind blew back Maya's hair. "Is that all your goodie good mouth can handle? Jerk?" Edward teased. "My parents raised me to respect others, yours on the other hand can't be far from wolfs!" Maya said angrily. She didn't understand what was so wrong with her, she was quite, polite, as nice as she knew how to be but he was still so rude. Edward smiled a small, crooked smile, "Pretty close ya" he replied, then just like that he was gone.
Maya stood around a while and waited for Jacob and Alice to come along. It wasn't long before the two came back laughing. "Where is my brother?" Alice asked sweetly. "That's Your Brother?" the words jumped from Maya's mouth, she couldn't see how the two could even be the same species. "Adopted yes, He is new." Alice said as if Maya should understand. "New?" Maya asked. "Oh silly me, of course, my parents have 5 adopted children. Me and Edward, Jasper, Emmett, And Rosalie" Alice sounded off names like water from a fountain, so fast it made Maya's head spin. "Oh ok then. Nice meeting you" Maya said and she waved good bye over her shoulder to the perky red head as she and her brother headed towards the car.
Maya drove home thinking of Alice and Edward's strange family. Jacob stared out at the passing city scene. "Alice is pretty adorable, right?" Jacob said looking over at his sister Maya shrugged. "I guess but her brother is a…" Her voice trailed off, Mama raised her not to curse, but she gave Jacob a look and he shook his head with a smile "Really? He seemed pretty cool" Jacob said smiling still from look his sister gave him. "I don't really know Jake, I don't want to judge him but he could barely spend the tour with me. He looked like he would rather be dead, You should have seen the face he made when Mrs. Lee made us art partners" Maya put air quotes around art partners.
The two continued a frivolous conversation about the family and came to a conclusion that they must be pretty weird. When the conversation was about over so was the ride home. Maya reluctantly turned off the engine and stepped out of the truck. He boots made an unfamiliar click against the drive way. "I miss are driveway" Maya pouted. Jake looked at her "I miss dirt roads, corn fields, and Maria." Jake groaned back. "Have you called her since we left?" Maya asked. "Ya… you think we can go out there this weekend?" Jake asked. "Every weekend!" Maya clarified. Maria was Jake's girlfriend of almost 3 years; Maya loved seeing Jake with her, seeing Jake happy.
Maya tried to resist cringing at the click of her boots against the concrete drive way and all through the house as she made her way to her room. Jake must have went to the living room or the kitchen because when Maya got into the room, she was alone. She looked around the same unfamiliar room she left. Maya felt a wave of anger towards John for finding Jecca. Then even worse more hatred towards Jecca for refusing to live in Parried-Drain. Maya really didn't like being mad. Mama always told her "Now girl, Hatred ain't a purty color on nobody." Maya laid down in her bed and repeated her mother's words to herself over and over again, until she was asleep.
Maya awoke about 10 hours later to Jecca leaning over her bedside. "Hey Maya, Its 5:00 in the morning thought you might be late for school-" "Why would I be late? School doesn't start till 8:30!" Maya snapped at her. Maya wasn't particularly a morning person, Jake rolled over and tapped Jecca on the shoulder "She doesn't wake up till 7:00, she ain't no fancy girl, and she ain't no mornin' person neither so you might wanna let 'er get 'er sleep" Jake said his accent thick; He never really shows his accent unless he is sleepy, or excited. Jecca's eyes went misty. "Oh, I just figured she would wanna-" John interrupted her standing in the door way, his voice was firm and mean. "Jecca its fine just go get ready for work let me worry 'bout them" Jake cringed at how much his brother had changed; even his accent was almost gone. "Jake, Maya, life starts at 5 in this house out of the bed now" He ordered his siblings and it was obvious Maya had awoke him to, and he wasn't ready to play.
Maya rolled out of bed and collided with Jake, it was that moment they both deiced today was going to be the worst first day ever. Maya took the extra time to shower, scrunch her hair (using lots of Jecca's hairspray, she won't wake her up again), and put on what little make up she owned. Jacob on the other hand used it to polish his boots, straighten his long brown hair, and perfect his side swept bangs he always wore to church. Even then they were ready at 6 A.M. Maya grabbed her bag and tossed it over her shoulder, "Come on Jake, maybe we can get some food on the way there." She swung open to find a river of cars rushing down the street. Sports car after sports car, not a single truck, not even a hand me down car. "Welcome to the city" Jake said sarcastically. He tugged his sisters bag of her arm and walked them both over to the truck and dumped them into the backseat opening the driver's door for his sister. Once they were both situated in the car, they were off.
Omg Edward is a dick, thats one of the main things that pisses me off, this guy is an asshole, but she loves him.
Anyways Leave a review or Ill keep torturing kittens in my basement.
