Chapter Three: Maya

The Next Day
Tuesday

Mmm...smells like french toast. Maya smiled to herself as she finished fixing her outfit. It was morning, and she was getting ready for school. I feel like I'm forgetting something. She shook her head, looking at her outfit. I look fine. She picked up her bag. This still feels the same. She felt her phone in her pocket. That's not missing. "Maya, come down! Cam and his siblings are already eating." Right, that's what I forgot.

Maya sighed and walked out of her room, closing the door behind her. She held her shoulder bag and walked to the kitchen. Dustin and Jessica were sitting together, both eating waffles. Cam was sitting at one end, eating french toast and scrambled eggs. Maya bit her lower lip. Wow. She hadn't actually looked at Cam last night. Yeah, she'd glance, but she didn't actually look at him.

She took a seat at the other end, across from Cam. She placed a piece of french toast and some bacon on her plate. "Mom, why did I have to wake up so early?" She asked. "Doesn't the elementary start half an hour after Degrassi does?"

"Yes," Margaret sighed, "but your father wanted to speak to Dustin and Jessica's principal, so you and Cam are going to be at school early."

"Okay." Maya said gently. She bit into a piece of bacon and sighed after chewing it down. Great, early. Same car as Cam too. Sounds fun.

"Alright, are you kids done eating?" Dennis walked into the kitchen, holding the car keys.

"Almost," Maya said, scarfing down her french toast. She chugged down some milk before wiping her mouth with a napkin. She swallowed her food and milk before nodding. "Okay, let's go."

Dustin, Jessica, and Cam got up. Cam took the plates, placing them in the sink before trailing behind his siblings out the door. Maya got into the passenger seat, sighing as she put on her seat belt. She watched as Cam and his siblings walked towards the car. She turned to her dad, who was looking through his phone. He looked up and turned. "You alright, sport?"

"Yeah," Maya said gently.

Cam helped his siblings in before getting into the seat behind Dennis. Dustin held his backpack on his lap and Jessica had hers at her feet. Cam sighed, putting his backpack on the floor. "Are you guys ready?" Dennis asked. The trio buckled their seat belts.

"I'm ready!" Jessica said, flashing one of her toothy grins. Maya glanced at Jessica in the mirror. She really looks like her mom.

"Me too!" Dustin said. Maya smiled gently.

"I think we're ready." Cam said. Maya took a breath, looking at him in the mirror. He had a small smile on his face. She sighed before folding the mirror up. She looked out the window, crossing her arms. Dennis pulled the car out of the driveway, and they headed for Degrassi. Dennis glanced at Maya, who was looking away. He sighed.

"What?" Maya asked, turning to her dad. He gave her a look. There is no way I'm going to talk to Cam. Maya turned her head, and continued looking out the window.

"So, how are the Ice Hounds doing?" Dennis asked.

"Really good," Cam said, "I'm Team Captain, actually." Maya could tell he was smiling, even though she wasn't looking.

"Hmm, I think I read about that in the newspaper." Dennis said. "Congrats on that."

"Thank you," Cam said softly. "I really enjoy it." Maya bit her lower lip.

"I just want to be happy."

"Maya, we're here." Dennis said. Maya glanced at her dad, and then at Cam. Cam was busy talking to his siblings. Maya nodded and opened her door, getting out quickly. She walked up the steps, hearing her dad driving away. That means Cam is a few feet behind me. She shook her head before walking into school.

Great. I've gone nearly a year avoiding him in school to having to see him every single day. She continued walking heading for her locker. She stopped in front of it, confused to see Tristan waiting for her.

Ever since Tori transferred to a Fashion Prep Academy and Zig left, she hadn't spoken to Tristan. He had gotten a new circle of friends, and even had a boyfriend. "Um, hi?" She questioned his presence. "Can I help you?" Maya opened her locker. Please don't tell me Tori sent him to make my life a living hell.

"I just have a message for you." Tristan said. "By the way, was that Campbell Saunders I saw walking in behind you?" He asked. "Is he back in school? He was gone all last week." He shrugged.

"Yeah, that was Cam...pbell." Maya mumbled. "What's the message?" She stuffed her bag into her locker, only grabbing a textbook, journal, and a pen. "Is it from Tori?" She asked.

"No," Tristan said, "it's not from Tori, it's from me." And you call it a message? "Zigmund is back." Excuse me?

"Excuse me?" Maya shut her locker. "Can you repeat your message?"

"Let's go to the cafeteria," Tristan said, "we can talk there." Maya sighed and nodded, following Tristan to the cafeteria. "I have so much to tell you." He sighed. "How's Campbell doing, by the way?"

"I'll tell you in the caf." Maya mumbled.

The two entered the cafeteria, where a few people were eating breakfast. Tristan got them a table far from everyone else, for privacy. Maya sighed. "Alright, go ahead." She said.

"Zigmund Novak is back." Tristan said. "He's no longer going to that other school, whatever it was called." He shook his head. "I hear he came back for you." He began. "Is this true?"

"No!" Maya shook her head. "I haven't made any contact with him since...you know."

"Thought so," Tristan sighed. "Well Zig is back, and I'm pretty sure he's totally mad at Cam, still." Oh, God, not Cam. "How is Campbell doing?"

"I guess he's doing good." Maya said.

"Guess?" Tristan asked. "Please, Maya, I saw him walk in behind you, what's the scoop?"

Maya bit her lower lip. How the hell am I supposed to tell Tristan that my ex-boyfriend is living in my house?! "It's kind of private, but uh...Cam and I have made contact." I mumbled.

"Hm, not surprised," Tristan shrugged, "just do your best to stay away from Zig. Warn Campbell too." Tristan continued. "Oh, and by the way, Tori is doing great at her school." Right, like I care. "She wanted me to give you her new number." Tristan said. What? Tristan handed her a small piece of stationery paper with Tristan's name at the bottom. In the middle was a phone number. "She says she might call you, might not." Tristan shrugged.

"Thanks?" Maya furrowed her eyebrows.

"Well, I've got to go." Tristan said. "My friends are waiting," he sighed, "just...stay away from Zig. That's your problem there."

"Thanks for telling me." Maya said gently. Ugh, first: living with Cam. Now? Zig.

Maya watched as Tristan left the cafeteria. She got up and headed for the exit as well. She took a breath as she opened the door. Zig! He was walking down the hall, but stopped at his locker. She turned, going back into the cafeteria.

How wonderful, he's here early.

Maya sat down by herself, far from the entrance and exit area. I can't face Zig. I can't talk to him. I can't make contact. I can't even be in the same room as him! Maya pouted. God, what if he sees Cam?! What then?! She took out her phone. I should text-but why? Maya groaned, putting her phone away. What the hell am I supposed to do?

She shook her head, getting up. She walked out the doors, her heart beating fast. Thank God he's gone! She took a breath, noticing more people were at school. Okay, more people equals less of a chance that Cam or Zig will see each other. She nodded to herself and began walking to the music room. I need peace. I also need a cello. She let out a breath as she opened the door. Miss Oh was sitting at her desk, reading notes.

"Hello Maya," Miss Oh smiled. "Here to practice with the cello?" Maya nodded. "Go ahead."

Maya smiled before sitting down the cello. She shut her eyes, and began to play.

If only I could do this all day.

She stopped when her mind shifted to Cam. She opened her eyes and pouted, putting down the cello. She glanced at Miss Oh, who was busy talking to someone on the phone. She sighed in relief. At least she won't ask me about my thoughts. What if Cam is out there and he just ran into Zig right now? No..he's got to be in the locker rooms, with the Ice Hounds. Right? He can't be in the halls...that's where Zig probably is...

Maya took a breath before putting the cello away. "Thanks, Miss Oh." Maya said. Miss Oh turned, still on the phone. She smiled, nodding at Maya as she left.

Maya decided to head to her first class. I need to get away from the halls.

Please don't run into Cam, Zig. Please, please, please!
