The Maia and Ross Diaries 2

C9 - Comeback

"Boys are hot." Santana said by her locker, Tina and Quinn next to her.

"I'm thinking of asking Finn out, what do you think?" Quinn asked looking over at them.

"I don't need a man." Tina said last.

"ha-ha, ha." Santana and Quinn laughed. "Everyone needs a man. Especially Maia. Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong and independent Lima Heights Adjacent, but I like to get turned on every once in a while by a dummy. It's easier to get a moan out of them-"

"Okay, Santana." Quinn interrupted.

They were all wearing carousel horse sweaters that Brittany made for them. Truly Santana hid the fact that she thought Brittany was amazing.

Dear, Journal

A comeback can mean two things. A return by a well-known person, especially an entertainer or sports player, to the activity in which they have formerly been successful or a quick reply to a critical remark.

Being born a certain way is about being yourself and loving who you are, and being proud of it. Something I forgot. And they all say you we're born to be real not perfect. Well, we can agree with media on something.

Instead of staying in love with my bed it's time to start spreading some of that energy to the people I work with. And I think It's absolutely funny how all these diary entries use to be about Ross Lynch-- and probably, still will be... but before my life became a whole opera show, soap opera whichever I was just a shallow girl acting as someone she's not, who lost her mom to cancer.... Nothing more, just vanilla. But I don't feel that way anymore. I feel like ever since I got humiliated at Peyton's party that I am capable, empowered. Or at least glad I didn't turn out the way they did. The carousel still turns.

And this year I've become fond with the word comebacks. My past. It had it's good and it's bad. But I need to grow terms with the future, you know. I'm pretty sure everybody I work with had something to comeback from. Some kind of pain that consumes them everyday they wake up. Mine's was Regan attacking me and my mom dying... but somehow I managed to write my own destiny and let it go. A destiny that's really sucking. So this week, is all about comebacks. A setback is the platform for your comeback. And really know one can set you back but yourself.

Love, Maia

School - Peyton

Every day I wear this cheer leading outfit thinking something today will bring me joy, and I fit in, and I stay quiet. Because let's be honest, I'm at a school in New York... and being on top matters. I even have a boyfriend... Nathaniel... but he throws a fit whenever he's not called by Nathan or Nate. To be completely honest, he scares me some times but he also makes me feel so loved... And a lot of people wouldn't have a problem with that, but I do.

My mom wasn't just a boring wannabee (most of the time) She went through hell and made a book of it, and my dad is a star who clearly made the most of his high school days. Even though most of it was being a pig, he met Maia and somewhat changed. Then he had me, and he said it was the best day of his life...

But when I walk down these halls... I feel like nothing.

I snap out of thinking, when I remembered I'd meet the girls outside for lunch. I only share Brooke's homemade lunches, because I'm pretty sure there is lunch lady hair in the cafeteria food here. Well, I know that for fact.

I see them at a nearby table outside, when someone grabs my arm.

"Hey you." I'd notice the sharp voice anywhere, and it was Nathan. Before I could reply he instantly kissed me. Nathan was the star player for our school's basketball team, and when he asked me out magically one day I ran at the opportunity. He's always mad though that I don't want to tell my parents about us, but he had to understand it was for very good reason.
