Meet Maya

"Maya, wake up!" a voice called up the stairs.

Grumbling, Maya got out of bed. She grabbed a towel and headed for the bathroom. She quickly took a shower and put on her clothes. Her outfit consisted of a lavender shirt with a longer purple shirt underneath, blue pants and black sneakers.

Maya brushed her almost dry hair and headed down to the kitchen for breakfast.

"About time you got down here. Breakfast is ready." Serenity said, dumping eggs onto a plate.

Serenity grabbed another plate and put eggs on it for herself. Maya looked at what her sister had on. Serenity wore a black pant suit, with a white blouse underneath and black heels. Her brown hair was up in its usual ponytail.

Serenity's green eyes darted to Maya, noticing her stare.

"Got a job interview?" Maya asked, stuffing a forkful of eggs in her mouth.

Serenity sat down at the table, munching on her food. "Yes I do. And remember kiddo, I'm picking you up after school today to take you to gymnastic practice."

Maya rolled her eyes. "I know."

The two finished their breakfast. Serenity glanced at her watch.

"We need to go now if you wanna make it to school on time. Get your things."

Maya grabbed her backpack, going outside to the car. Serenity followed after her, locking the door. They got into the car and Serenity drove off.

"See ya this afternoon Serenity." Maya said, unbuckling her seatbelt.

"See ya kiddo."

Maya got out of the car and waved. Serenity waved back and drove off. Maya walked into the school, grabbing some things from her locker.

"Hey Maya!" a voice called.

Maya turned to see who called her name. It was her friend, Frieda Goren.

Maya smiled, shutting her locker. "Hey Frieda. What's up?"

"Mr. Macdonald said we could put the decorations up early this year."

"For the dance? Sounds great. I'd be willing to help."

Frieda reached out and hugged her. "Thanks Maya. You're such a good friend."

Maya smiled and followed her to the bulletin board, looking at the things posted on it.

Maya noticed something out of the corner of her eye "Look, its Virgil and Richie."

Frieda looked up and followed Maya's gaze. She smiled, happy to see her two friends.

"Let's go say hi!" Frieda said, grabbing Maya's wrist. Maya obediently followed, tugging her wrist out of Frieda's grasp.

"H-Hey Frieda, Maya." Richie greeted, noticing the girls arrival.

"Hey guys! Guess what? Mr. MacDonald said we could put up the decorations early this year."

"Cool." Richie said. "Hey! Look at me, I gotta go. Good luck with your, uh, test."

Maya raised a brow, wondering what Richie meant. She'd known the two for a while, so she knew he meant something else when he said that.

"Where were you this weekend Virgil?" Frieda asked. Maya followed the two, seeing as she had the same class as them.

"I've been dying to talk to you about homecoming." Frieda continued.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah, I need your advice. You know Eddie the quarterback? I heard he wants to take me to the dance. But Dave also left a message and Cleo said that Seth Gray wanted my phone number. Isn't it wild? I'm juggling three hotties!"

"Who has more money?"

Frieda elbowed her in the side. "Maya!"

Maya chuckled. "I'm just kidding."

"You know Frieda, hotties and everything, in some circles wit and umm… off-beat charm still count for a lot. In fact, I was wondering if you would do me the honor-"

Virgil was interrupted by another voice. "Hey Frieda."

'Oh no!' Maya thought, looking at the speaker.

"Lookin' good."

Maya backed away as F-Stop got closer. He pushed Virgil out of the way and stood in front of Frieda. Maya went over and helped Virgil up, glaring at F-Stop.

"Smell good too." He said, sniffing Frieda. Maya's glared intensified at this. Frieda backed away, F-Stop following her.

Virgil went up and tapped on his shoulder. "F-Stop, you need to brush up on body language 101. Her's says not in this lifetime."

F-Stop growled, grabbing Virgil and throwing him against the lockers. Maya held in a gasp, going over to stand next to Frieda. F-Stop grabbed Virgil and held him up against the lockers, a fist raised.

"Let's see if your face can understand what my fist is saying."

A hand grabbed his wrist and tossed him to the floor, away from Virgil.

'Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad to see Wade.' Maya thought.

"Yo! I know you're not sweating my man Virgil, Francis?"

"Nah Wade. We were just playing."

Frieda and Maya walked up to Virgil, knowing it was safe now.

Frieda held his hat out. "Here Virg."

Virgil took it, smiling at her. They glanced back over at F-Stop.

"Catch ya later Virgil."

Maya plopped into the seat of the car, tossing her bag in the back.

Serenity glanced at her, driving off. "Rough day?"

Maya sighed. "Just this morning. My friend, Virgil, got into a fight."

"Let me guess. It was with that F-Stop kid?"

"Yep."

Serenity sighed. "That kid's a bad influence and a danger to the students. But does anyone do anything about it? No!"

"Serenity, I've had a long day. Let's just focus on gymnastic practice, okay?"

Serenity glanced at her sister, smiling slightly. "Okay kiddo."

Maya collapsed on her bed, still in her leotard. Serenity walked by, peeking in.

"Calling it a night kiddo?"

Maya sat up, looking at her sister. "Nah. Think I'm gonna go for a walk."

Serenity frowned. "Okay, but be careful."

"I promise."

Serenity walked to her room, shutting the door. Maya got up, pulling on a pair of sweatpants and a jacket. She walked down the stairs and out of the house. While walking, she drifted into thought.

'Hope Virgil's okay. He didn't look so good. Makes me wonder how he's going to explain that to his dad.'

Maya sighed, pulling her jacket closer. It was then that she noticed where she was.

"I ended up at the docks? Man! I've got to stop getting lost in my thoughts."

She heard shouting and saw some people running from the docks.

'What's going on?' she wondered. Curious, she went over to the fence, peering inside. She heard something and looked up. Helicopters were hovering over the docks.

'There must be a fight.' She thought. One of the helicopters launched something and then there was a huge explosion.

Maya's eyes widened as purple gas got everywhere. It reached her and she coughed, accidentally inhaling it. She heard sirens and saw police cars pull up.

'I'd better get out of here.' She thought, heading in the direction of her home. She didn't stop running until she had gotten inside her home.

She leaned against the front door, catching her breath. Once she had, Maya headed up to her room. She changed into black shorts and a purple tank top, getting under the covers. In a few minutes, she was fast asleep.
