Not So Different

Ouch!

Maya

I walked down the hallways and I see my best friend Lei. I start walking towards her. People called out to me. Tries to call me over, but by now they should now if I saw Lei no one else mattered. It always been this was with us. No matter what.

"Hey Lei-Lei!" I yelled as I got to her side and opened my own locker. She just rolls her eyes and smiles at me," Hey ya-ya!" She says we giggle at our nick names.

"So about that Chem test next week." She prodded slowly. I just shook my head." I'll help you study for it so calm down I got you girl." I smiled at her.

"I hate you! You always pass I bet you don't even have to try that hard!" She sulked as I laughed at her sudden outburst.

"Oh be quite, no es mi culpa, I just have a good memory." I said smiling softly at her puzzled look.

"What? Maya I've already told you I don't understand spanish. I'm black! Not Mexican!" She says playfully.

"It not my fault I mean." I say then I look at her again." You need to learn Spanish then." I say chiding her playfully.

"Oh whatever you know exactly what I mean." We round the corner and there's a big group of people in a circle and people yelling , Fight! Fight! Fight!

"Five bucks says it Josh and Luke again." Leo says already betting on it. I just shake my head. These to make life so difficult.

"Give me a minute while I get in there please." With that I walk off into the crowd people instantly moving out of my way. They already knew I'd find out about this. Even if it was on accident.

Sure enough as I walk into the inner circle Josh has Luke slammed against the lockers.

Well this is new. Usually Luke had Josh on the wall.

"Joshy! Put him down. Come on, what do you want now? What happened this time?" I said slowly as I went over and put my hand on his arm. He looked down at me and let go of Luke. Who instantly tried to swing at him.

"Luke! Stop! Please that's enough!" I yelled at him and pushed him away.

"Everybody get to class." I heard complaints and I instantly began to glare. I was tired I had enough to deal with already and these idiots make everything thing worse.

I turned back to the boys as the crowd dispersed for a moment I felt my mask slip. The happy sunshine girl but then I grasped it again really fast and hid the real me.

"Now boys I wanna know what happened this time." I said brightly.

Josh mumbled out an answer while Luke smirked at him.

"I can't hear you, boys look I'm tired of dealing with yall it's the third time this week already that's enough already. If you don't stop yall will force my hand and I'd hate to have to go talk to principal Rosche." With that I turned and walked away, the hallway were empty now.

As I turned into the corner, I bumped into something or someone and I fell back on my butt.

"Ouch!"
