-Maya pov-

"Shit. Right I blocked her." I tell Max, pulling my phone out as quickly as possible and trying to find Ava's contact, unblocked her. "Did you unblock her?" Max asks me, with a puzzled look.

"Yep. Fuck I'll be back I'm gonna go call her." I leave the room without getting Max's response simultaneously pressing the call button. It rings twice before a voice is heard.

"Maya?" Ava calls out on the phone. "Yeah, uh it's me." I reply, awkwardly "Listen I'm sorry for what happened today at school and shit, I really am. I just thought those photos were real ans well, Jasmine's my best friend. I didn't know, I'm sorry." Ava spills,

"It's okay, it's okay. I would believe the pictures too." I let out a little giggle. "But, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do cause only you and Max believe me at this point. Who even sent that around?" I ask ava, patiently waiting for an answer.

"I think it's obvious." She answered, "Right, Chloe." I say, slapping my forehead. How'd i not know this "Why does she hate you so much anyways?" Ava asks, I really don't wanna answer that question right now. "No clue. I guess it's just because of that party. You know..." We both shared a chuckle.

"That party was... definetly interesting." Ava says, sounding nervous. "Yeah... I um, I gotta go now, Max is probably wondering what's taking me so long." I say, regretting it already. "Yeah. I get that. See you at school tomorrow?" She asks, "Yeah. Bye." I say, ending the call and sighing in relief. She believes me. Butterflies fill my stomach remembering what her voice sounded like.

I head back to the room and Max looked like he'd been waiting for me like a puppy dog, sitting up with the perfect posture, waiting for me to tell him what happened on the phone call. "So..." He gestures for me to start talking, "Well, good news she believes me." I start, and he claps and gets up to hug me before sitting back down knowing i wasn't done.

"Bad news well I don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of the school year. I mean, everything thinks I'm a fucking slut, so." I say, rolling my eyes remembering the stupid pictures Chloe spread. "Yeah, babe I don't know what to do about that. What did Ava say about it?" He asks, tilting his head to the side a little.

"Well we basically just agreed that I'm basically gonna die of humiliation." I say, pouting. "Yeah, true. Well, I mean there's always transferring..." Max starts, making hand gestures, "Wow, you don't wanna see me THAT bad." I say rolling my eyes with a smile plastered on my lips. "You can't get away from me that easy." I say and we both start laughing. Soon after, we head to sleep, him sleeping on the floor, me on the bed.

-Next day-

"Get the fuck up we're gonna be late." I hear a million times over before I feel a cold liquid on my body, "Hey! What was that for?!" I ask, getting up finally, drenched in water. Max bursts out laughing while I sit there confused, he throws my clothes at me and walks out the room, closing the door, signalling for me to get changed.

I had forgotten about last night due to Max's company, we've always been close friends, just not at school because of our popularity differences. I'm now known as the school slut and he's the perfect guy with the perfect life, not that I'm jealous or anything.

I get all ready for the day and come outside to see Max in his expensive ass fucking car, waiting for me to get in, and I do. We, meaning he, talk about the new shit going on around school, including my situation as a way to pass the time for the 10 minute drive to school.

"So, what are you gonna do?" He asks with a slight hint of concern in his voice. "Shit, I forgot about that. I really don't know. Maybe your idea of transferring was good." I say, genuinely thinking of it but deciding against it. "Well, what about hanging out with Ava?" he asks, that thought never crossed my mind.

"Im not sure." is all I could get out of my mouth before we arrived at the school parking lot. "Alright, get out, don't get bullied too much, Kay?" He says, slightly laughing at my poor school life. "Ha ha very funny." I say, with the straightest face ever, which was kinda hard cause I'm not straight.

I enter the horrendous school buildings mentally preparing myself for one of the worst days of my life. I was called a few words, like whore, slut, cunt, all that but it didn't really bother me. I walk past my locker and grab everything I need and head into physics class.

I was already late so I know I'm gonna get a stupid fucking detention for the 5000th time this year. I knock on the door and see Mr.Hale and his stupid face open the door, followed by his annoying fucking voice telling me off for being late and oh, what a surprise I'm hit with the "Detention after class!" And honestly, I couldn't give a fuck so I sat down in my seat. Third row from the front, like always.

Next to me sits Ava, I sneak a few peeks at her and wow, she's so fucking gorgeous. I just want her to be mine at this point. Fuck everything else. I slowly start paying attention to class when I hear a pencil drop next to me, Ava gets up out of her seat to give it to this random boy in our class, fuck she's such an angel. While I'm admiring a croaky voice interrupts my daydreaming "Ava, back in your seat." Says Mr.Hale.

"Or what?" she tests the teachers patience, God she's so hot. "Or you can join Maya in after school detention." Mr.Hale threatens. "Okay? Do it then? Does it look like I give a fuck?" She says, pointing at her face. I start to wonder if she's getting detention with me on purpose.

"Fine then, detention, after school!" Mr.hale yells louder than when his wife yelled at him when they were divorcing.  "sounds great." Ava, replied before Mr.Hale got back to his lesson.

-after school-

Detention time. I think to myself. I head over to the stupid physics classroom for the second time today, peek through the window and see the face I love so much waiting in there, Ava, no teacher in sight. I open the door and Ava flinches as if she was maybe daydreaming. "Where's sir?" I ask her, looking puzzled, "Don't know, don't really care." She says, a monotone expression on her face.

"You okay?" I ask her while sitting down in the free seat next to her. "Mhm." She hums back, "You can be honest with me Ava who am I gonna tell?" I say, both of us letting out a giggle in harmony. "Right. You have no friends." She chuckled again. "Well, it's just, I told Jasmine about everything and how I believe the pictures are fake and well," I see her eyes getting glossy and I see a few tears drop down her cheek.

"Oh, gosh, what happened?" I ask, tilting my head to the side with compassionate eyes, resting my hand on her shoulder. "It's just, I've been her best friend forever but, when it came to high school she got into a bunch of drugs and everything and we've been apart alot. And now, well, she said she doesn't even wanna be seen with me anymore, just because I believe you and not her and stupid fucking Chloe." She spills, it must be hard losing a friend you've loved and known for so long.

I was speechless, I didn't know what to say so I got out of my seat and hugged her, her crying on my shoulder, then pulling away to wipe her tears with my fingertips. "I'm seriously so sorry. I don't know how that feels but it seems so shitty, I know we kinda hate eachother but, im here for you." I say, not meaning to say that much. She looked up to me with her puffy red eyes. Fuck I feel so bad. "Thank you. So much." She says, wiping the rest of hears away with her sleeves.

"I guess we both don't have any friends now, huh?" She says, chuckling. I smile. She's so beautiful.
