Her Innocent Intern

CHAPTER 13:First Day

Maya's POV:

Yesterday has been great, I know my way at the building, well, specifically the ones where I will be working on as an intern, especial thanks to Carol.

She's been really nice to me, but sometimes I got uncomfortable because she always bring me closer to her like putting an arm around me, like on shoulder and waist. It's not that I don't like it, it just makes me feel uncomfortable in some ways, and how she does it. But, I just pay no mind to it, maybe it's because im just new to it.

I still didn't get a chance to talk to Natasha, which sadden me. I DID tried to talk to her, but she just always cut me off and say she needs to do something and blah blah blah. I just wish she will tell me someday, it's really bothering me.

I don't know if it's me or not. If im the problem or not. If I did something or not. I just want her to tell me.

Okay, enough of that, back to reality.

I'm currently walking to my area, which is just beside Carol and Wanda, just outside of Natasha's office.

"Hey Wanda!" I greeted the red head happily.

"Oh, hey, nice to see you again. You ready for your first day?" She said smiling back at me.

"Yes, but nervous too." I said with a chuckle.

"Oh don't be, im here, if you need anything just come to me and I'll help you." She said which I said thank her.

I sit down and get my things ready. I put sticky-note on the table wall where i wrote the things I need to do, and these cute stickers that says things to keep me going.

"Hey, Maya. Nice to see you again." I heard someone said causing me to turn to the voice. Before I even had the chance to know who it is, a pair of strong arms was already wrapped around me, it's Carol.

"H-hey, nice to see you too." I said and pull away smiling trying to hide the uncomfortable and uneasiness in my face.

"So, you ready?" She ask while sitting beside me getting her things out.

"Yeah." I said quietly turning back to my work.

After maybe, 30 minutes, I heard Natasha's office door opened. Oops, I forgot about her, maybe she can talk to me now. I already finished one of my works, I still have a lot of time.

"Hey, uhmm, can I go to Natasha?" I ask Wanda since Natasha said she's like my 'mentor'.

"Yeah, ofcourse, you don't have to ask, maya." Wanda said with a smile and nod.

"Okay, be right back." With that I made my way to Natasha's office and knock on the door, after a few seconds I heard her say come in.

I came outside and saw her doing something, she's still not looking at me, so I took it a chance to make my presence known.

"Hey, uhmm, it's me, Maya." I said awkwardly standing in the door holding my hands behind my back. Natasha's head whipped and look at me, stopping her work.

"Need anything?" She ask looking me straight in the eye.

"Uhmm, you didn't give me a chance yesterday, so I was wondering if I could talk to you?" I ask slowly walking towards her, afraid that if I make a move she will get angry at me. Which I think she did, because her eyebrows knitted together.

"Is it important?" She ask emotionless.

"Uhmm, yes- I-I mean, no, I- maybe?" I stuttered getting nervous.

"If it's about work then just tell me, if it's not, go back to your work." She said which came out harshly making me look down.

It's not about work, but I really want to ask her, BUT I don't want her to get angry at me than she already is. Well, is she mad at me? I hope not.

"Uhmm, it's not about work, but-" I quickly said but got cut off by her.

"Then just go back to work, I still have a lot to do, I don't want a distraction." She said going back to work again, completely ignoring me, as if im not standing few feet away from her.

"O-okay, uhmm, maybe we can talk in another time..." I said looking at her hopefully only to be met by her silence and only the scribble of her pen can be heard coming from her, she didn't even bother to look at me.

Did I really did something bad? What did I do?

"I-i'll just go...bye." I said trying to straighten my voice, but failed, as it cracked at the end while tears started to brim in my eyes.

I don't like how she treats me. What did I even do? Am I bad? Am I a bad friend?

I turn around and started to walk out while wiping the tears that came out of my eyes, i can feel eyes burning at the back of my head but decided to ignore it. I opened the door as i sniffle and regained my composure.

I don't like it when someone is upset at me.
