There was only one week left 'till the end of the summer holidays and Maya had applied to become a Buddy in year eight. A buddy is basically someone to help the new year seven fit in just right into their high school. Maya loved to help out with this kind of stuff and also, if you were a buddy in year eight, there is a better chance of you becoming a prefect in year ten. Maya had applied and her application got accepted and she went to the Buddy training. They were all nervously expecting an e-mail from the teacher who selected the Buddy's for year eight to see who got through the training. Maya didn't just sit around all weekend waiting for the e-mail, she acted as normal and played with her sisters. On the Friday of the second last week of the year, Maya got an e-mail from the teacher saying she and her friend, Yasmin had got in and were officially Buddy's for year eight. The e-mail had also said to look their best on Monday, the day of the rewards assembly because they were going to get their buddy badges there and were gonna get a picture taken with their DSD who is basically their head of year.
