I wake up for school, it is almost the weekend. Today is Friday. I get up and get dressed (outfit in the media). I put my ankle boots and walk to my bathroom. I curl my hair and put my necklace on.

I walk out the door and Cleo parked in a nice blood red Lamborghini. I gasp. Oh my.

"Come on, before we're late!" She calls from the sidewalk.

I run and hop in.

"You look amazing!" Cleo compliments.

"Thanks. I've tried. I have a crush in school." I blush, thinks of Paul Lahote.

"Awe, who is it?" She asks.

"Promise not to tell?"

"Promise."

I search her eyes, and she is being honest. "My crush is Rachel Black's ex, Paul."

Cleo squeals and hugs me. "Tell him." Was what she says as soon as we park her car. Before I can reply, she is gone.

I guess it wouldn't hurt. But first, I wanna befriend Leah. I find her next to her locker, looking lonely.

"Hey Leah." I say, walking up to her.

"Hi, Maya." She says with a sad sigh.

"I want to be your friend, if that is okay with you." I smile.

She smiles up at me. She pulls me into a tight, friendly hug. I smile.

"I gotta go find someone. I'll see you in art." I smile and run off to find Paul.

I figure it wouldn't hurt to tell him I like him. The way he looked when our eyes met, I know he must like me too.

I see him, leaning against his locker. Alone. Poor guy.

"Hi, Paul." I smile.

His eyes widen wen he sees me, but he smiles. "Hi, Maya. How are you?"

"I'm great, I kind of... Um.... I have to tell you something." I say shyly.

Paul smiles and he chuckles at my shyness. He pulls me into him and holds me there. Then he whispers, "what's that?"

His hot breathe on my ear makes me shiver. "I like you. As in, more than a friend." I whisper, causing him to shudder.

His eyes darken, to almost a black. "I like you too, beautiful Maya."

I bite my lip and I smirk. "Wanna be my boyfriend?"

He looks shocked by my question. I run my hand up his shirt, feeling his tight abs. I bite my lip, getting a good feeling. I look up at him underneath my eye lashes.

"Okay, my love. I'll be you're boyfriend." Paul smiles happily.

I clap and kiss his cheek. "Well, I have class. I'll see you at lunch." With that, I run away to my art class.

It's lunch. Paul is sitting with me and my friends; Cleo and Leah. Leah is so happy about something. Something with Paul. Cleo reacted the same way Paul and I met eyes.

I believe they are hiding something big. It is kind of saddening me. I wish they wouldn't keep it a secret. Paul is my boyfriend, shouldn't he tell me?

As if sensing my emotions, Paul hugs me and whispers, "I have a secret to tell you tomorrow, I'll pick you up."

I shiver as his hot breath hits my ear. I nod. I continue to eat my lunch.

Paul drives me home and drops me off. I go inside and greet my mom. Dr. Cullen has let her off.

"I am glad Carlisle let you off." I smile.

"I am too. I have missed you, Maya." Mama says sadly and hugs me.

"Awe, mom. I have missed you too." I say into her neck.

"I'm dating Paul." I smile.

"That's great." She smiles.

"Yeah. He wants to take me out tomorrow." I smile with a blush.

"That's good. Carlisle wants me in tomorrow." Mama sighs sadly.

"At least you get to work with the man who saved us when dad was killed." I shrug.

"True." Mama smiles and dismisses me to my room.

I skip dinner, because I am to exhausted from school and that flirting. I haven't flirted since Oregon.

I change into some pajamas and I crawl into bed. I easily fall asleep.
