It had been about a week now since the last time I had seen the Wizard and was told that he wasn't able to read my fortune to let me know who I was going to end up being with, I mean I'm kind of glad that I still can keep the mystery in my mind but at the same time it makes me wonder why he couldn't read mine. Was I that weird or something? I decided to hang out with Maya again since I promised her if I had some free time I would teach her how to make flower crowns since she wanted to know how to always make them. So we gathered all the flowers we could find over in flute fields and carried our baskets back all the way to the church grounds, it was around late afternoon now so it was finally starting to cool down a lot. I sighed as I wrapped the stems around each other not even knowing I was so lost in thought that I couldn't hear Maya calling my name.
"Molly!"
"Huh, what is it. Something wrong?"
"I been calling your name for a minute now, he-he were you thinking about something; like as in a certain boy?"
Maya nudged my shoulder a few times, I was still sort of out of it that it took me a few minutes to register what she was implying as sure I was thinking about a boy but not as in the way she was thinking of. I huffed as I nudged her back playfully.
"As if! I don't have any boy to think about."
"Oh really, so does that mean you didn't like the boy Wizard said you would be with?"
"No! Besides, the Wizard couldn't even find out who I'm going to be with."
My gaze soon moved down to the crown that was in my hand, it was broken now due to me squeezing it. I sighed as Maya gave me a frown. She gave me a hug as I could see she was trying her best to cheer me up and I was glad for that but it wasn't really working, though I just decided to joke my pain.
"It's alright, I mean if none else I will be Castanet's crazy farm lady with all the stray cats I have adopted."
"Yeah, plus your cats are cuter than almost all the boys in town."
We both giggled, as I slowly started to cheer up. We kept making crowns though it was normally making them since Maya wasn't the best at them. But I didn't stop giving up trying to teach her as eventually she finally made her own crown, she looked quite pleased with herself as she placed it on her head since other being a food taste taster she couldn't really do anything else well, so I'm glad she found something else she could do well.
"I'm going to be right back Molly; I'm going to go show my Chase my pretty crown."
"Alright, I will be right here when you get back."
She smiled before she skipped from the church grounds, and I was left alone. I sighed looking at the flowers that were scattered around me, The large clock at the entrance of the church said it was around seven now as I decided to pick the unused flowers and place them back into the basket, I closed my eyes as a random memory flashed of me making these with my older sister back home, everything was simple back then since she was always there for me. As I opened my eyes I thought I saw a purple figure standing on the steps as I blinked a few times rubbing my brown eyes thinking my eyes must be playing tricks on me, I mean why would even my mind be thinking of that Wizard anyways? I only talked to him once. Though my assumptions were right since when my eyesight returned to normal I saw my pink dressed friend running back as she smiled.
"You waited."
"Of course Maya, I would never leave you. So what did Chase think of your crown?"
"He said it was nice, but then he just kept going on about how I was bothering him. He can be such a meanie sometimes."
She pouted like a child, I giggled at it thinking that Maya would probably be the one person that would never grow up and still would act like a child throughout her whole life. Maya soon smiled as when we finished chatting she waved off saying she needed to return home before her parents start to worry though before she left she expressed how much fun she had making these crowns and that she was happy to know she could do something. I smiled and waved back being alone once more. I stood at the church looking back as I sighed since a breeze started to blow through I just gave a solemn smile throwing the basket up letting the breeze take the flowers as they scattered around me .
