-Maya pov-

Ugh. I slept so bad last night, I had the worst nightmare ever. I get out of my bed and do my daily routine, wash my face, brush my teeth, get dressed, makeup and everything else.

"Hi mom, are you taking me today?" I ask my mom in the living room, "Yes baby but tomorrow I have to go away for 2 weeks." She replies, "Okay ma I'll be in the car." She smiles lightly and I walk over to the car.

I sit inside and wait for her to get in. "You know, you really need your licence soon." She began as she sat in the car. starting it up, "Yes, I know, I know. I'm going to the place tomorrow." I reply, "Alright baby." She says before starting up the car.

I finally arrive at school "Bye, ma." I wave goodbye as i step out and head through the gates, I'm a bit late but it doesn't matter. I head into math, ready to not listen at all the entire lesson.

"Hahaha, look at her!" I hear someone say behind me but ignore it, not thinking they're talking about me. "Fuckk, Maya is so ugly fr." Another one says. What the fuck is going on?

Math ends and I walk out, a paper ball was then thrown at my head and I pick it up and read it. It reads, "Dumb ugly whore" I'm so fucking confused right now. I turn around to see who wrote it and all I see is a bunch of Ava's friends laughing and pointing at me.

-Lunchtime-

"Max, help me." I quickly spit out to him, "Depends. what with?" He asks, "I don't know what's fucking going on." I say, "What do you mean, Maya. Context!!" He replies, confused, "Okay so basically..."

I tell him the whole story and he just stands there, frozen. "So?! Help!" I finally break the silence, "Maya I think this might be a you problem. But keep me updated!" He says, all cheery, "Max, please, I'm being serious. I'm scared." I say, seriously.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry." He quickly apologises, "Have you done anything like, bad, recently? Besides Chloe." He asks, "I don't think I have." I respond, thinking as hard as I could, "Okay, I'll try ask some people I guess." He says and pulls out his phone, he texts around 5 people, asking if they know anything.

"Someone replied." He says, breaking the 4 minute silence. "What did they say?!" I reply, scared but also grateful someone replied, "You're not gonna like this, Maya." He says, giving me a concerned look. "Just fucking tell me, Max!" I say, desperate.

"Okay... are you sure?" He asks, being annoying, "Max I swear to God." I reply, "Someone spread photos of you kissing 2 people in one night, one of them looks like Jasmine's boyfriend." He says, "What the fuck? I've never kissed anyone's boyfriend! Let alone a man!" I quickly spit out, not believing any of this.

"And Jasmine's boyfriend? you mean Ava's best friend?!" I ask, "Yep, that's right. Hey, I just wanna say I'm not gonna believe those photos are real, okay? I'm always here for you." He says, comforting me. Thank God I have Max. "Thanks, Max but I think I need some space right now." I reply, grateful.

"All good. I'm here whenever." He says before I turn my back and walk straight out of school, despite there still being 2 periods left. New text from Ava, great this isn't gonna be good.

Ava: I saw the picture.

Maya: Ava, you have to believe me right now.

Ava: With what? You kissing my best friends boyfriend and THEN kissing a whole 'nother dude?" Fucking slut.

Maya: You have to fucking believe me those pictures aren't real! I swear!

Ava: No one's gonna fucking believe you, there's solid evidence right here.

Maya: Someone was pretending to be me I swear!!

Ava: I'm not gonna believe you over my best friend.

Maya: I get that but I swear it's not me!

Ava: Bye, Maya.

Fuck. How the hell am I supposed to fix this. No one believes me but Max. I need him right now.

Maya: Max can you come over?

Max: Ofcourse Maya I'm coming right now give me thirty minutes.

-30 minutes later-

Knock knock. Finally. "Come in!" I yell, I hear the door open and see Max, I instantly start crying and run into his arms. "Shh, it's okay Maya, I'm here." He says, holding me tightly and stroking my hair.

"I don't get why this is happening." I say inbetween sobs. "Life is like that sometimes, just know I'm always here for you in times like this. Always." He replies, comforting me. I look up at him and he wipes my tears. "I love you, Max. Not in that way. Don't even." I say, quickly realising how he always takes that the wrong way.

"Yeah, you better not mean in that way." He says and we both laugh. "Can you stay the night?" I ask him after we stop laughing. "Ofcourse, Maya. Let's get dominoes." He says, knowing that's my favourite food.

-20 minutes later-

the pizza arrive and we both lay in my bed, watching TV and eating. "Maya, just asking, hou like Ava, right?" He asks, not looking away from the TV, "How the fuck did you know?" I say, sort of chuckling, "A best friend always knows, the way you talk about her gives it away though." He says, looking at me smiling.

"Whatever." I say, disregarding it, "Guess who texted me." He interrupts the silence, "Who?" I ask, intruiged, "Ava." He says, looking at me, "What the fuck? What did she say?" I say, moving over to him and looking at his phone, he let's me see it.

Ava: Hey, I know we don't text alot but um... is Maya mad at me?

"Weird, right?" Max says after I finish reading the text. "Weird." I reply.
