Maya has been intensely practicing what to say to Epke today over those past few days, and has also learned some tips on how to seem more attractive to men. Whatever it was, Maya accepted it just to impress Epke.
Right after waking up and taking her breakfast and morning drink, she immediately went to the bathroom, combing her hair meticulously and getting it as perfectly-combed as possible. She washed her face and brushed her teeth thoroughly, saving no room for any sort of grime. Then, after applying some of her usual perfume and a bit of makeup, she was ready to go.
Right off the bat, however, Coco noticed her unusually kempt appearance.
"Oh, wow, Maya, you look fantastic today!", Coco said.
"Thanks, Coco!", Maya replied.
"What is that about?", Coco asked. "Do you have something important to do at school?"
"Well... I do, but I would rather not say what it is now."
"Oh, alright, then. I still wish you good luck on whatever it is."
"Again, thanks!"
Then, Mymy went to the living room and also noticed Maya's appearance.
"Suspicious...", She thought.
"Oh, good morning, everyone!", She said.
"Good morning, Mymy!", Coco and Maya replied.
"There's something different about you today, Maya...", Mymy began. "This is the first time I've seen you actually put effort into your appearance."
"Mymy...", Coco warned her.
"What?", Mymy asked. "I'm just saying!"
"That's still very rude of you!", Coco replied.
"Whatever, let's just go now.", Maya said.
They then jumped in their bikes and started getting their way to school. The whole time, Maya was thinking about Epke and reciting her phrases on her head. Mymy, meanwhile, was still suspicious about Maya's appearance.
"What could this possibly be about...?", She kept thinking. "Is she going to meet someone...? Does she have something important to do...? I should probably try and find out what this is about..."
Arriving at school, Maya caught everyone's attention. Her new friends complimented on her appearence, which boosted Maya's confidence a whole lot.
After hours of agony, lunchtime arrived, and Maya immediately went to get her food and eat it as fast as possible. After this, she got to the stairs, but stopped right in the middle. Nervousness began to take over her.
"Oh, goddamnit!", Maya angrily thought. "I have to drink some more."
Then, after assuring that no one else was looking, she got a hooch bottle off her backpack and took a random amount of it. Soon enough, she began feeling even more loose than before, and had certain difficulty walking, having to do so in zig-zag to not lose balance. Arriving at the roof, she kept looking for Epke, having to squint her eyes since she couldn't see well at this level of inebriation. After a long, confused search, she found him.
"Hey, Epke!", Maya said, slightly slurring her words. "It's me!"
"Oh, hey, Maya!", He replied. "Come here!"
She then clumsily sat on the short wall at the edge of the roof, next to him.
"Maya, this right here is my friend Anke.", He said, pointing to the black-and-white-haired girl next to him. "Anke, this is Maya."
"Hey, Maya, nice to meet you!", Anke said.
"Nice to meet you too, Anke!", Maya replied.
"So, uhm, how's it going for you, Maya?"
"Me? I'm doing GREAT!"
"Haha, I like your enthusiasm, Maya!", Epke said.
"Thanks!", She replied. "I was just so excited about getting up here to know you better!"
"Really?", Epke asked, appearing to be flattered.
"Yeah!", Maya enthusiastically replied, her words slurring a bit more than before. "I love meeting new people, you know?"
"Haha, I see!", Epke replied.
Anke then leaned over and began talking to Maya.
"So, Maya.", She began. "Some of our friends have told us about you, you know?"
"Yeah?", Maya asked.
"Indeed!", Anke replied. "They told us how you were this very quiet kid that talked to nobody and had this extreme fear of talking to literally anyone, but out of nowhere you started becoming more and more open to everyone. So, what's up with that?"
"Hell if I knew, haha!", Maya replied while laughing. "I just got the urge to stop being a shut-in and finally touch grass for once! And, honestly, I don't have a spec of a regret! I mean, look, I even started giving an actual fuck about my appearance now!"
"Oh, yeah, I noticed that too, Maya!", Epke remarked. "You look great today!"
"Well...", Maya began, visibly blushing. "Thanks! You look great yourself!"
"Oh...", Epke said, clearly flattered. "Why... thank you!"
"What, am I the first one to tell you that?", Maya teasingly asked, taking every chance that she could get.
"I mean, no, but... it's definitely not every day that a girl says that I look great.", Epke replied.
"Haha, that's shocking!", Maya replied.
Then, the school bell rang.
"Oh, that's the bell!", Maya said before awkwardly getting up. "See you all later!"
"See ya!", Epke and Anke replied.
Anke then leaned over to Epke and began whispering:
"Only me, or is she on drugs or something?"
"Haha, knock it off, Anke!", Epke replied. "I'm sure she's just naturally this energetic."
"If you say so...", Anke replied. "Speaking of drugs, got a blunt that we can smoke?"
"Sure!", Epke replied before lighting up a joint and sharing it with Anke.
Maya, meanwhile, was getting down to her floor. She felt amazing, both from the drinking and the fact that she just struck a conversation with her crush. She was so proud of herself that, while on her way to class, she kept scream-whispering "Yes!" over and over to herself. Mymy, who got to class at the same time as Maya, noticed this.
"She's excited about something, I see...", Mymy thought. "But what, though?"
The rest of the day then went by as normal. After arriving home, Maya immediately got to her room, jumped on her bed, and screamed in the pillow, at the top of her lungs:
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
After pulling out, however, she noticed that she got her makeup on the pillow.
"Fuck!", Maya screamed in frustration.
