*next day*

Carina's pov

I wake up and make my way to my windows, to open the curtains to let the sunlight into my room. After sketching and reading the whole evening I got my mind away from Maya for a few hours. It was good not have to worry about the opinion of others.
*
That's always hard for Carina and that's also one of the reasons, Carina like's to stay in the shadow of anything or anyone.
The Italian makes her way into the bathroom to relieve her crying bladder. She takes a fast shower and brushes her teeth before going back to her bedroom and changing into a beautiful yellow flower dress. She puts on a light makeup and curls her hair. She feels good today, confident. Even after the incident with Maya yesterday. Carina puts her last things in her backpack, but most importantly her sketchbook before heading downstairs and grabbing a croissant on the way. Normally she carpools with her brother Andrew but his first lesson of the day got cancelled so he takes the bus one and a half hour later. She sings along the songs on her playlist and is in a quite awesome mood. Her favorite band since about two years is Måneskin. It always reminds her of Italy. She screams to the lyrics of the cover of Beggin', For your love and Coraline and doesn't even notice how fast the time fly's by. She arrives at the school and parks the car but she doesn't get out of the car quite yet because she wants to listen to the rest of Coraline and also sees Maya walk past her car but doesn't notice Carina's presence.

Maya's pov:

Last night was quite chilly. Despite the fact that I couldn't get Carina out of my mind. My feelings are getting out of hand.

I didn't got to eat an awful lot yesterday tho because my dad was home and started controlling me again. My tummy growls but I continue my walk to school with a casual protein shake in my hand and my blue Eastpack backpack and my ukulele bag swung over my shoulder and my headphones in my ears.

Maya loves to sing and play the Guitar and Ukulele but doesn't get to go after her real passions because of her dad. No wonder. Lane Bishop is an Ass. He pushes his daughter to win races and get prices for his pride because he couldn't win things for himself when he was younger. Instead he pushes his innocent, talented daughter to the max of her power.

As an escape of all of this Maya used to put her headphones in and blast her favorite bands and artists on full power. Music is her escape.

Maya's pov:

I arrive at my school and make my way to my first class of the day. Math, one of
the worst subiects in my opinion.

The hour goes by faster than I thought. I have to admit, I wasn't really present tho I was in a little dream world about a certain Italian brunette. That was definetly way better than listening to Mr. Fisher talking some shit about geometry. My second class got cancelled so I search for a quiet place somewhere on the school ground. I find a spot and put my bags onto the ground under a tree before sitting down, leaning against the tree.

It's hot today and I wear a long sleeved shirt. Even most of the time at training, I wear long sleeved sport shirts and trousers that goes past the scars on the top of my legs. I can't help it, sometimes the music isn't enough of an escape for me. My biggest trigger is my dad. The stress and the pressure he puts me under is horrible but I can't fight back, I don't want to. Because I am scared that he is gonna burst out again and throws stuff at me or screams at me for the simplest of things. The last time it happened was three days ago and everything starts to heal again but it still hurts. But the pain is good. It reminds me that I am still alive.

Always look forward.

No one s pov:

Maya get's her turquoise ukulele out of its bag and relaxes against the tree. She closes her eyes and starts to play Riptide by Vance Joy, her favorite song to play on the ukulele. Maya starts to sing softly as she plays the accords Am, G and C in a row. You can see a smile forming on her face.

*A few minutes earlier* Carina's pov:

I had arts the first lesson and am still into the second one. Five minutes left till I can finally find peace at my favorite place in the school, besides the track of course!

I love art but I still wanna continue the sketch I started of Maya yesterday. I still have every little feature of her in my head and don't even need her to stand there in pose.

The Bell rings and I jump up from my seat and nearly run out of the classroom. I come near the corner that I have to go around to get to the tree I always sit under when I am not at the track but I hear a soft voice and I think it's a ukulele that is playing. I glance around the corner and can't believe my eyes. It's Maya Bishop with this angelic voice of hers playing Riptide on the ukulele and singing with her eyes closed. I go a few steps towards her to admire her but she doesn't even notices me, she is in her own world. She looks hella peaceful by the way. I sit down on the ground a little further away and start sketching. It probably seems weird but it's my way to capture moments.

Her gorgeous blond hair flowing in the light breeze and the little smile plastered on her face. How could you not fall in love with someone like that.
WHAT!?

A/n: So I hope you are fine. I am gonna mention Maya's SH storyline a lot more but I will always mark it for you so if you don't feel comfortable reading it then you don't have to. I am always here to talk to and yeah.
