I close my locker door leaning against it thinking about what she just said to me. She's anxious to read the rest of my story! And I'm anxious for her to write me a new one!
Oh Maya, you are my person…
Chapter 19: The First Day of Senior Year
Emily POV
The first half of the first day of school was a breeze but I was really distracted. I was especially distracted in Chemistry class as Maya walked in late with a note and then the teacher assigned her to partner up with me! I was so giddy I felt like I was in a Katy Perry video!
I have the biggest smile on my face! I can feel my body temperature heat up as she places her books on our table and scoots up onto her stool with a, "Hey beautiful," for only my ears to hear.
I drop my head for fear my blushing face will draw attention to me, to us. Honestly, I wish I was brave enough to be me with her in front of everyone. But I'm not, not yet anyway.
The teacher approaches, "Miss Fields, Miss St. Germain was mistakenly placed in a remedial science class. I'm sure you will have no trouble partnering up."
"I'm sure we'll be fine," I say barely able to make eye contact with the teacher.
"Mr. Johnson I think Emily is the perfect partner," she winks. I'm dying.
"That's good to hear. So, the two of you will be lab partners as well."
"Chemistry is one of my favorite subjects. I love to see the varying chemical reactions between two different elements and their changes in composition. It fascinates me," she eye sexes me. She eye sexes me right in front of the teacher!
"Well then Miss St. Germain welcome to my class," Mr. Johnson says as he walks back to the front of the room.
I whisper to her, "What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?" she smiles wickedly.
Again my head dips as I smile big with reddening cheeks.
I don't know how I'm going to be able to concentrate in this class with Maya sitting right next to me with her perfect posture and her perfect body and her perfect smile and her perfect lips and her perfect mascara'd eyes and her perfect scent of vanilla and jasmine, she's intoxicating, I'm inhaling deeply with eyes closed…
"Miss Fields, Miss Fields."
"Huh, what?"
The class laughs. Everyone is looking at me! Oh my god! They know I'm gay!
"I've called on you three times. Is everything all right?"
I look at Maya and she's smiling behind her text book.
"I'm, I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, first day back and I'm a little distracted."
"I'd be distracted too if my lab partner was the hottest girl in school!" One of the guys in class yells out.
More laughter.
"Hey new girl let's do an experiment. I put my hands on you and watch you react!" Another voice from the back of the room calls out.
More laughter mixed with ooo's and ahhh's.
I can feel the hair on the back of my neck stand on end as I sit up breathing quite heavily through my nostrils. I wanna get up and slam those guys against the wall but I can't.
But she can. Maya steps up and takes care of the hecklers.
She turns around rising from her stool and quite coolly says, "And what reaction would that be? Me, vomiting on your shoes?"
The class goes wild!
"New girl told you!"
"Yeah new girl!"
"That's enough everyone! Settle down now," Mr. Johnson tries to wrangle in his students.
Maya sits back down as the rest of the class begins to calm.
"By the way, class, the new girl has a name. Her name is Maya," Mr. Johnson introduces her. "So why don't you take some time after class to introduce yourselves."
The murmuring around us begins to subside as Mr. Johnson continues on with his lecture. I'm paying attention at first but then I look to my left and I can't help but stare at her. She's taking notes. She's really listening to his every word and I find that so sexy! And I wonder how the hell am I going to pass this class with such a distracting presence? I guess, I'll be needing lots of tutoring and hopefully there'll be some extra credit! I smile and reluctantly turn my attention to the lecture…
Maya and I aren't in the same class before lunch so we decide to meet in the courtyard but as I approach I see her with Spencer. I step aside watching their exchange, I'm not sure why, oh yeah, the green monster of jealousy has crept up on me!
"Hey pretty!" Spencer says all smiley. Pretty!
"Hey sexy girl!" Maya flirts back. Sexy girl!
I watch them hugging and laughing. Hey! That's my hug! And I kinda wanna punch Spencer in the face!
Then Maya jokingly (It better be jokingly!) grabs Spencer's ass!
"Whoa! Watch it hands!" Spencer laughs.
"Well what did you expect; since Alex came back you two have been inseparable. And I miss you," she tilts her head. That's my head tilt!
"I know. I know. I'm sorry but," she whispers in Maya's ear and I think she says, "you can't give me what he can."
"Spencer Marie Hastings! Did you really just say that!" She leans forward holding onto Spencer so she doesn't fall over from laughing so hard.
I need to break this up and I need to break it up right now! I mean, I just want my hug back! So I ready myself to come out from behind the brick column in the middle of the courtyard but before I can even take just one step I hear…
"Fields." Shit.
I freeze. It's Noel Kahn.
"We need to talk." Now? But my hug. Pouty face.
Before I can turn around to face him, he grabs my arm escorting me away from going over to Maya and Spencer.
"Hey, watch it! I'll go with you already," I yank my arm away from him.
"Why did you think my parents were having marriage problems?" I knew this was gonna come back to bite me in the ass!
"I, I, umm…"
"You, umm, what Emily? I know you know something. Tell me," he demands but with desperation in his voice.
"Did something happen?" I ask.
"You know something. I don't know how but you do. I overheard my mom on the phone with someone who wasn't my dad."
"Look, Noel, I don't know what you heard but I had no right to imply that your parents were having marriage problems. As a matter of fact the person your mom was probably talking to was my mom. Your dad's being sent to Afghanistan and your mom's upset that he's leaving her alone for so long."
"Upset! That's a laugh!"
"I don't understand." I'm confused.
"All they do is fight when he's home. And when he's gone she's all happy and smiling and on the phone."
"So what are you saying?"
"Maybe my mom is confiding in your mom."
"About what?"
"Not about what, about whom she's having an affair with."
"Mr. Kahn, it's the first day of school and you're skipping class already? You need to come with me to the principal's office immediately," one of his teachers strongly encourages.
I've never been more grateful to see a teacher in my entire life!
"We'll finish this later Fields," and with that he walks away.
And all I can think about is how am I going to avoid Noel Kahn for the rest of the day…
"Emily! Over here!" I hear Spencer call my name.
I walk over, "Hey guys."
Spencer hugs me as does Maya and we come really close to a kiss on the lips but leave it to Hanna to break things up! And I have to say I'm truly indebted to her for that right now!
"Hey bitches! How's your first day back?"
But before any of us can answer Hanna's going on and on about her first day. I can't help but laugh to myself because she doesn't even realize she's doing it! Anyway, we all sit together to have lunch talking about our day and more guys and not surprisingly some girls are 'new girling' Maya. She pretty much ignores them or gives a snappy comeback. Then some approach her being genuinely nice to her while introducing themselves. But all that's going through my mind is there's a lot of people looking very interested in Maya. Only there's nothing I can do about it! It's stay silent or be under a microscope. I wish I wish I could just say it out loud…
"Emily, walk me to class, will ya?" Hanna asks.
"Sure but I have to stop at my locker first," I say.
"See ya at gym class later Em," Maya winks. I hope no one notices!
"Bye guys," Spencer waves.
"Wait up Spence, I'll walk with you," Maya hurries over looking over her shoulder at me with a smile until she reaches Spencer and turns back around.
When we get to my locker I open it to switch books and Hanna takes no time at all to analyze my pictures…
Hanna POV
"What do we have here? Let's see, swim stuff, me, you and Spencer. And I have no idea what this is between you and Maya. Wait, are those boobs!"
"Hanna, shush. No, it's a musical note."
"Why? You don't play anything." Except for Maya! That was a good one; I pat myself on the back!
"I know. I thought it was kinda cool looking. And Maya plays the cello so I put it next to her."
"Oh. That makes sense." But it still looks like boobs to me!
And I'm not buying it especially since there're no pics next to me and Spencer! So what is your story Emily and Maya? Jessica Fletcher! I need you!
"Do you and Maya have any classes together besides gym?"
"Yeah, chemistry."
"Chemistry? Really?"
"What?"
"It's fitting dontcha think?"
"Fitting? Hanna, sometimes you talk in another language yet it's the same language, ya know? Oh my god, we're together half an hour and now I'm sounding like you!" she laughs. Nice redirect Emily but I'm on to you two.
"Emily, are you sure there's nothing more to that musical note?"
"I'm not sure what you're getting at." She looks nervous.
"I'm getting at…"
Buzzz
"That's the first bell. We better go." Stupid bell!
"Yeah. We better. Em, are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?" Emily, if you and Maya are together then I think that's great. But why can't you just tell us. What are you so afraid of Emily Fields?
"Nope. I'm good."
The Jessica Fletcher in me thinks and thinks and then it hits me! I know what she's afraid of. She's afraid of her parents…
Emily POV
I've never been more excited for gym class in all of my high school or middle school years! I practically race down the hall to the girls' locker room. I bust through the door walking straight to the locker I use for swim practice and low and behold guess who's there to ruin my perfect moment. Yep. Paige freakin' McCullers…
She approaches me leaning against one of the lockers near mine. I can feel her staring at me.
"What Paige? What is it?"
"Where's the bodyguard?"
"Shut up Paige."
"Oh, struck a nerve. Maybe she is your bodyguard…or girl who guards your body…intimately."
"I said shut up Paige." She's really pissing me off!
"Sounds like I hit the nail on the head."
She starts moving closer to me and all I can think is…where the fuck is Maya!
"Actually, you take another step towards Emily and the sound you'll be hearing is your face smacking against those lockers." Maya!
"No need to get all bodyguardy. I wouldn't dream of touching your lover." I can't believe she just said that!
"Something tells me that's all you dream about," Maya slings back. My mouth drops! That was so awesome! Paige is cowering. Good!
"Watch it Maya. You wouldn't want to out your girlfriend for her. Now would you?" She smirks.
"Paige, the only thing I'm outing is your jealousy," she takes a step closer to Paige who is looking rather uncomfortable and cowardly.
"Gay is gay," Paige says somewhat under her breath.
And I don't know what comes over me but I say, "And you would know, wouldn't you."
Maya bursts out laughing and I kinda laugh too which turns Paige's face purple!
"Let's go girls! Enough chatter! Get changed and head out to the track!" Ms. Thomas announces as she walks through the locker room. She pauses, eyeing the three of us until Paige moves to the next row of lockers to change. Ms. Thomas then heads in the direction of the doors leading to the track leaving Maya and I alone at my locker.
"That girl never learns, does she?" Maya questions as her top comes off like she's changing at home in the privacy of her bedroom.
I'm mesmerized by her cleavage. I think she's wearing one bra size smaller than she needs as she's spilling over her cups. And I can't look away.
"See something ya like?" She winks and then lowers her voice to a whisper, "Actually, I know for a fact, you like."
I'm so embarrassed! I don't know what to say to that!
All that comes out of my mouth is, "Maya…"
"You better hurry up or we're going to be late," she steps out of her jean shorts and slips into her gym shorts. She puts on her top and ties her sneakers, "Ready?"
"Yeah. One sec," I say as I tie up my laces.
I turn around with my back to the locker and she steps closer making my heart and my breathing race.
She looks around, "Everyone's gone," she presses her body into me forcing my back against my locker.
"Maya…"
"Come on Em, just one little kiss?"
She's so persuasive with her tone of voice and her sexy feminine body fitting perfectly with mine. I can feel the heat rise inside of me. What if someone comes in? What if someone sees? But before I can think of another 'What if', her lips gently touch mine. I can feel myself relaxing into the kiss. We're both smiling. With her hands on my hips, she keeps me focused on her and not on the 'what ifs.' And all that comes to mind is if I say it out loud we can do this all the time and it won't matter who sees. There'll be no hiding. There'll be no secret. There'll be just the truth, my truth, our truth…
"Anybody in here!" Someone yells. "Ms. Thomas says you're gonna get a tardy if you don't get out to the track now!"
The kiss stops but Maya doesn't move.
"It'll be worth the tardy," she tries to kiss me again.
I stop her, "Maya, if I get a tardy my mother won't let me out of her sight."
"She doesn't trust you? Cuz it seems like she does."
"She does, but I've messed up before when Alison was here and I didn't get to see my friends for a whole week. I can't imagine not seeing you for that long."
"I can't imagine that either. So I guess it's off to the track then."
"Yeah, let's go."
When I step ahead of her to leave she slaps my ass.
"Maya!"
"It was asking for it!" she chuckles.
"My ass was asking for it?" I laugh.
"You have no idea do you?"
"No idea about what?"
"How hot your jiggle is!"
And with that I race ahead of her to the track leaving her in my dust…
