Adopted by Zalfie

Chapter 54

I get out of Alfie's car saying bye to him. He drives off, and I walk to the school doors, terrified.

Why am I so scared? This place is SCHOOL, the place where I have friends and get along and I'm supposed to feel safe.

I take a deep breath and open the doors, entering the building. The popular girls and laughing loudly with each other over on a bench by some other classroom. I try my best to avoid them when I walk into mine.

Sam is there with his friends. He is also laughing, but stops when he sees me. He says something to his friends and walks over to me.

"Hey Maya. Are you alright?" He asks.

"Yeah I'm okay." I respond, as I put all my stuff in the cubby.

"Well I was hoping for an answer saying why you left and why you didn't come on Friday." He points out.

I turn to him and look down at my feet. "My mom got into an accident but she's okay."

His eyes widened and he gently touched my shoulder. "Jesus Maya! Is she okay?"

I laugh because I already told him. "Yeah yeah, don't worry."

"But are you okay?" He asks.

I nod in response. He smiles and we chat until the bell rings.

I sat mostly by Sam the whole day whenever I could. I was quite shy and nervous, but I managed.

Alfie came to pick me up since Zoe obviously can't. When we got home, I noticed Tanya and Jim sitting in our lounge with Zoe. They must be really good friends with Zalfie because they're over a lot.

"Hey guys." I greet, walking through the living room and up to my room. They greet me back as I walk up the stairs.

I throw my bag onto my desk and get out my homework. I have some boring science to do, so I work on that for a while.

After about half an hour, I hear goodbyes and the door shutting, leaving the house much quieter. I never know what they are talking about anyways because I don't try to hear them from up here. Probably just some YouTube stuff anyways.

They probably keep coming over because they are our neighbours, so they right beside us so I guess it's easier to come over that have Joe or someone come over.

I then hear footsteps coming up to my room and the door opens. Alfie and Zoe walk in.

"Maya do you have a second?" Zoe asks, resting her leg on the bed. It must be hard to go up those stairs with krutches, but she's getting better everyday.

"Yeah in just finishing up my science homework. What's up?" I respond.

They both are on my bed now and they smile at each other and look back at me. "We want you to start your channel." They say together.

I leap up from my chair. "Are you serious?" I yell.

They both nod and I tackle them both with a hug. "Thank you so much!"

"We think it's best since people already love you." Alfie hugs back.

...

Zoe went back downstairs and Alfie and I are on my bed with my MacBook, setting it up. First, I got a Gmail account and then I used it with my YouTube account. I made the account and I couldn't decide on a name for my channel.

"How about, Mayadeyes? Something simple like that?" Alfie asks.

I shrug and think hard. "Nah, I want something really creative and fun."

He nods and thinks too. "Well, it's your channel, you make the rules. Think hard about it and make sure you like your decision. You can't keep changing it."

I nod. What is a good name? I never thought about having a channel, so I never thought about a name to use.

"What about, 'Maya in a Deye' like day, but-"

I'm cut off by Alfie. "YES!" he exclaims. "It's perfect!"

I laugh and type it into the username.

Introducing Maya in a Deye.
