As I enter the wrought iron gates, I prepare myself for the worst. It should be easy as I have to remain quiet, but then again...when has following Maya's plans led me to any success and peace?? Never!!
I feel extremely uncomfortable, by the number of eyes staring at me, I know its because of the enormous amount of makeup I am wearing. I am not very religious, but I dont like dressing up too much and drawing attention towards me.
The staring eyes could be of two reasons. Either they knew it was me..Haya and they were shocked to see me in heavy makeup..or... just the makeup that made them glue their eyes on me. Either way it felt very uncomfortable.
I make my way to the sports room to put my canvass material safely and then proceed to my class...or in this case Maya's class, however it does not go according to plan and I am confronted with Maya's fervent group of admirers or as she likes to call them, her friends, before entering the sports room.
"Oh my God Maya you look gorgeouuussss" Anoushey the tall girl says raising her hands to signify the intensity of the compliment.
"Thank you so much Anoushey." I manage a whisper, smiling. I am supposed to have a soar throat remember.
"What happened to your voice hunny??" Zara, Maya's best friend interrogates me.
"Um.. too much lemonade.." I blurt out very softly.
"You and your lemonades Maya. Now look what you've gotten your self into." Zara complains.
"Its okay I have my microphone...Haya can do this for me." I look at Maya who is standing behind me and smile.
Maya clearly is not enjoying the lack of attention by her friends. She returns an expression which warns me, that I am over doing it.
"Yeah sure...perks of being the twin.." Maya manages a weak smile.
"Ahahahahahahahah Haya?? Microphone??? That is the funniest joke I've ever heard Maya. Haya cant even talk to herself she is that shy and you think she will act as your microphone!!...oh boy that is funny." Zara laughs faking a tear.
Well that was purely rude. I never liked Zara, I always found her annoying. But then again, non of Maya's followers are nice. I wonder how I am going to survive the first period with them.
I wish we could use telepathy so I could make out what Maya wanted me to do next, I mean I am new to this socializing thing. The only friends I have are none. How do you do this?. Do you just walk away..or you wait...or what do you do when there is a group of people who have stopped talking and are staring at each other, waiting for someone to speak.
Thank goodness, Maya understood my uncomfortability because she covered up by saying, come on Maya dont want to get late for class. Lets keep your stuff in the sports room. I nodded.
I wish we dont get followed by Zara and all, that is the only way I would get time to ask Maya about her routine. Other wise what would I do. Thankfully, they dont follow us.
We enter the sports room and place all the charts in one corner. I sigh out of relief my hands were getting tired with all of this.
"Now listen fancy pants, as I have observed right now you totally suck at communication. I would never have confessed that Haya would help me. My friends dont have a very good image of you. So, lesson number one, DONT COMPLIMENT YOURSELF that is Haya, infront of my friends. And lesson no. 2 I don't like lemonade at all, thankgoodness my friends dont know that." Maya lectures me like a rude teacher.
"Okay maam anything else?" I reply bitterly. I am annoyed by the fact that I am already doing so much for this girl, I wore makeup for crying out loud although I hate it, I am making an effort at trying to socialize here, despite the fact that I am ultra shy and yet all she does is criticize me?. But I let it go, its her day, her time to shine and besides, she loves being the center of attention and clearly back there she was being ignored.
