First Year Here

Chapter 10

Kayto sighs and looks at me from her chair.

"Do we have to play anymore? I'm kinda super terrified right now soooo..." She mumbles, pausing the game.

"Awwwe, come on! I'm having fun though!!!!" I whine and she widens her eyes to give a puppy dog look.

"We can watch Insurgent." She insists, and I give in and nod. Turning off Resident Evil, she mutters a song under her breath.

*Time skip to mid movie*

"Oh" Kayto's phone vibrates, and she pulls it out and opens it.

"Who is it?" She shrugs and starts a text back.

"Um, well, you know, just...Luke..." I raise my eyebrows and sit up as she shrinks away from me.

"What?? Since when do you two talk?!" Kayto suppresses a giggle and gives me a suggestive look. "Not that I would particularly care, but why are you and Luke talking? It was literally 4 days ago I met him, and you've already got his number?"

I reach for her phone and she yanks it away from me. "Chill, there, Jealous Jane." I sigh and lean back, defeated.

"Ughhhh I'm not jealous, now spill!" I say, annoyed.

She hands me her phone and rolls her eyes. "Okay, fine. So," My best friend starts as I scroll through a few small talk messages. "Monday, after you left for Agriculture, I met Luke in the hall." She continues, and I could tell by the way she said she 'met', that she really just followed him until he was alone and she could talk to him.

"Anyways, I flirted with him a bit, and don't worry I could tell he wasn't interested, and got his numba!" She finishes with a flourish of her hand. A smirk forms on her face, and she whispers "You liiiike hiiiim."

"Ershmegerd! Asher and I just broke up, and I just met this kid!" Yet she persists.

"Yeah, almost a month ago! And you met him and have hung out with him for a week, I mean, come on! Love at first sight, you know..."

I sigh. "Just let me text him in silence."

"Ohkay, and maybe he'll actually try to keep the convo going, cuz with me it's like talking to a wall."

I start typing and am suddenly confused.

"Wait...how do you type on this thing!! My phone is a dinosaur, but this one is like... A unicorn or something. That old. I have no idea how to work this thing.."

She laughs and takes it from me, taking me through a short tutorial.

"Okay. I get it now." She hands it to me, and it takes 2 minutes for me to type 'Hey! It's Maya!'.

Seconds later Kayto's phone buzzes.

'Oh, hey! What's up?'

She looks over my shoulder and giggles.

"Whatttt?" I raise one eyebrow.

"He would of only answered hey if I was the one who texted him..."

I scoff and reply. 'Nothing really. Just watching Insurgent'

'Oh, cool. Fun fact, I read those books.'

'Awesome. So did I! :P' I don't get a reply.

"Awe, poor Maymay! Yakno, love hurts." She giggles and I playfully slap her arm, but also laugh a bit myself.

*Time skip to next day*

"Hey, so you wanna hang out with Collin or Ben today?" Kayto asks, as we are brushing our hair.

"Sure." We finish getting ready, and ask tell her dad we are going to the school.

*time skip at the school*

"Oh my gersh didja text Ben and tell him we're at the school??" I ask.

"Yeah so calm yo tittays!" We laugh and walk around to the little kid park. There we see, none other than, Jackson and Peter.

"Ugh. Look who it is." Kayto whispers.

"Hey!" Jackson waves and smiles, while Peter is backing away from us and towards his house.

"Hey, Jackson." We say in sync.

"Where's your boyfriend, Peter?" Kayto speaks up, and Peter turns pink.

"I... I don't have one.." He mutters and his eyes never leave mine. For some reason, my cheeks suddenly start to feel hotter.

"Why? He leave you for the other hotter guys in school??" She accuses and I find myself putting my hand on her arm, and her head snaps to mine. I shake my head and she closes her mouth.

"Sorry...it's just I hate him, yaknow?" She whispers to me and Jackson eyes us, confused.

"Just so you know, Peter and Brad were never together. They were just... Idk, tell em, Peter!" Jackson waves over to his brother, who is still staring at me with.... Regret? He mouths 'I'm sorry.' And disappears around the fence, to his house.

I feel sorry for him. Battles are going on in my mind, 'what are you thinking, M!!!! He was with Brad!! You hate him!!' And, 'well, maybe he's changed!'

"Let's go." Kayto snaps me out of my thoughts, and pulls me towards the parking lot.

What am I thinking.

A/N Hey! How didja like this one? Yeah, finally an update my strawberries. Why is Maya feeling this way? Find out soon.

BTW, I will be adding a new character soon, so be ready for that!!!!
