Maya awoke with a start, having just had a nightmare, only she couldn't remember what it was.
She felt perspiration running down her body, and felt a migraine coming on.
- Damn!
She left her room, her eyes bulging, her hair a mess.
- Hi, Mom.
- Oh, are you all right?
- Yes, I just had a nightmare.
- Are you sure you're okay?
- Yeah, don't worry.
Maya sat down on her respective chair and began to eat her eggs.
- It's a good thing we don't have class today.
- I'm not surprised to hear you say that.
- But can Max come over?
- Of course he can.
She went back to her room, she didn't know why, but she wanted to make herself beautiful for Max, it was the first time she'd ever wanted to do that.
She lay in bed for a few minutes to think. Why do I want to be beautiful for her? Why do I go to sleep thinking about her?
She got up, closed her door and windows and started to get dressed, putting on a long t-shirt with her favorite band: ABBA and long, knee-length denim shorts.
She left her room and went into the bathroom. She tied her hair into a high bun, secured with several rubber bands.
As soon as she finished her bun, the telephone began to ring.
- I'm going to answer it!
She ran to the living room where the phone was.
- Hello?
- Maya?
- Oh hi, Steve, how are you?
- Yes, I'm in front of the house, can you come over?
Maya ran to the door and opened it, gave Steve a hug and they started walking through the forest beside the house.
They reached the tracks, and Maya stopped and sat down.
- Steve?
- Maya: Yes?
- Can I tell you something?
- May I? Yes, I'm listening.
Maya look a deep breath and began to play with her necklace.
- I'm... I-
- Hey, don't worry, I'm not going to say anything mean.
- Thanks, I think not, I'm sure, I'm a lesbian.
Steve froze, trying to realize what Maya had just said.
- Well, do you want the real answer?
- Is she mean?
- No, I suspected as much.
Steve started laughing, Maya couldn't believe that someone could know she was a lesbian long before she knew.
On impulse, Maya took Steve in her arms and held him tight.
- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
- Okay!
They got up and continued walking, arriving back in front of the house and sitting down on a tree trunk.
- So, what did you want to tell me?
- Well, I actually suspected that you liked someone, so I was going to ask you if you like someone.
