What Is Love

Chapter seventeen

Maya's pov

"What happened" Kayla asked.

"Nothing" I snap walking away and someone grabs me by my wrist and pulls me into them, I look up to see Konner.

"What happened princess" Konner says calmly and I look down and sigh.

"Nothing we just have to do community service" I say and Konner arches an eyebrow.

"That all?" Konner says in a tone thats like 'Are you really freaking out over something that stupid'.

"Yeah that's all, I don't know why I freaked out, community service can't be that bad" I fake smile.

"Mmhm" Konner says studying me and letting go of my wrist.

"You might get something like picking up trash off the beach" Chance smiles and I frown.

"Yeah Maya, It can't be that bad"  Kayla says and I shrug.

"I guess you guys are right" I say, yeah it can't be that bad.

---------------------------------

It's bad.

Konner and I are currently picking up dog poop while Tracy and Reece got off the hook.

"Ahh this one is fresh" I say disgusted and Konner chuckles....CHUCKLES!!

"Well this can't possibly be any worst" Konner says and it starts pouring. I glare at Konner through the rain and he bites his lip to keep from laughing. I feel my face start to turn red and I scoop up another piece of poop.

"It's fine, it might pass" I huff and continue scooping and Konner arches an eyebrow.

"I just noticed you haven't yelled at me sense this whole job and now I just jinxed us and you still aren't yelling at me, What's wrong?" Konner asked, Well Konner whats wrong is that teacher thinks i'm going to end up like my mom and I don't want to end up like my mom.

"Nothing's wrong I just want to get it done" I lie and Konner frowns.

"You have been lying since you left the principal's office" Konner retorts and I can tell he is getting frustrated.

"Konner I hones-" I start but get cut off by someone yelling.

"Hey Maya" I see Chance walking through the rain with two umbrellas, a bag and a shovel.

"Hi Chance" I say happily because I was saved by the bell.

"I came to help you guys, I brought you an umbrella" Chance says handing me an umbrella and I realize he didn't bring one for Konner. Konner scowls realizing it too.

"Here Konner you can have the umbrella" I say and both Chance and Konner scowl. "What? he cares about his hair way more than I care about mine" I add and Chance and I start to laugh.

"I care about you way more than my hair princess" Konner says winking and I fake cringe because I would be lying if I said that didn't send butterflies into my stomach. 

"Don't do that again it looks like you have something in your eye" I lie making Konner chuckle and wink again. 

Chance makes us clean and we get done fast and I ride home with Konner.

When we get back to my house we walk inside and I make us hot chocolate.

Konner's pov 

Maya runs upstairs to change into dry clothes and her aunt walks downstairs.

"So you and Maya just got back from doing community service I see" Maya's aunt laughs and I nod smiling.

"Yeah she wasn't enjoying it all to much" I chuckle remembering Maya's red face.

"Oh, you should have seen her when she found out she was scooping dog poop" Her aunt says laughing harder and I laugh with her.

"I could hear her scream from a mile away" I say exaggerating and her aunt laughs harder.'

"Thank you Konner" She says smiling genuinely.

"For what?" I question not really sure, maybe because I made her laugh?

"I haven't seen Maya smile that big sense she moved in with me and she was 14 years old" Her aunt says with watery eyes.

"Yeah, Why is that?" I ask curiously. 

"She would kill me if I told you" Her aunt laughs just as Maya runs downstairs.

"What's so funny?" Maya asked, she is wearing gray sweatpants and a gray sweat shirt.

"How long it took you to get dressed" I respond making Maya frown.

"I had to comb out my hair you butt"  Maya says playfully. 

I can't wait for spring break, That's a whole week of me spending time with my friends and an excuse to see Maya every day, not that I don't not see her every day anyways. Not that I like her, I mean there would be no point in that, her heart would be broken either way.
