"You did what?!?!?!" Dayna screamed.

    "Gosh, woman! I couldn't help it. I can't be sweet to him ever. Like ever, ever, ever! I can't do this." I sighed and leaned back on my bed.

    Dayna ran her fingers through her hair. A clear sign that she was frustrated with me, "You're already in this mess, you know. The whole school knows Amara Jones. The girl Ryan has got his eyes set on."

    "That was so not what I was pegging for. I wanted Amara Jones to be popular, and not some new toy that Ryan the asshole can play with." I argued.

     "But you could've still not said all that shit to him on a date. He's not gonna ask you out again and all your chances of being popular go down the drain." She muttered.

     "I'll think of something. Now let's Netflix and ice cream. I don't want to waste my sunday evening bitching about an asshole." I replied and went down to the kitchen to get a big bowl of chocolate ice cream from the freezer.

Monday

   Today's the day I get to be Maya the whole day. You know, like a cheat day.

   Transitioning from Amara to Maya and Maya to Amara everyday gets really hectic and tiring.

    I walk in the school corridors slowly. I hate Monday mornings. I may be a nerd, and studying may be my hobby, but I'm human after all. I reach my locker and open it and shove my books inside it. First class was gonna start in five minutes.

    I turned around and saw Ryan walking down the corridor with his gossip crew. They were laughing and fist pumping and doing all those weird manly shit.

    "Dudeee! Ryan's so whipped. That Amy girl has got him tied around her little finger."one of the guys joked loudly.

    "Dude! Ryan's already planning out his next date with her and what to wear for it. He's slowly turning into a girl." another one joked.

    "Will you guys shut up?" Ryan snapped.

     Aww, Ryan's getting pissed. He better not ask me out on another date. I'll reject him. Ryan looked at me and smirked

      "Liking what you see, nerd?"

      "Loving it so much that my eyes are burning." I smirked, sarcasm dripping from every syllable.

       "Good to know." Ryan replied, through gritted teeth.

        I shut my locker and walked away from him. I didn't want to continue that conversation.

         I entered the class and Mr. Leonard, my chemistry teacher, was waiting patiently for all the students to come in. He was an awesome teacher and was really lenient with us. Not to mention he was one of the younger teachers in the school. Basically all the girls would swoon over him cause he was good looking.

       "Hey Mr. Leonard!" I greeted him. I was his star student after all, even though I broke test tubes and got my so called nickname Manic Maya.

       "Good morning, Maya." he smiled.

          I sat down in my usual seat and took out my experiments book, ready for class.

          After a few minutes, a guy entered the classroom. He looked new.

         "Everybody, welcome our new student, Mr Zachary Chambers." Mr Leonard announced.

           "It's just Zack." He corrected. He looked a little gloomy and downright evil. His aura seemed dark and daunting, but that didn't affect his greek god looks.

       Look at me talking about auras. My aura is probably red. Full of anger and annoyance.

       "Ok, Zack. You can go and sit on the empty seat." Mr Leonard ordered.

       I looked at the empty seat next to me. No way. This model looking dude would wanna change his seat right away. Literally no one wants to sit next Manic Maya during chemistry.

       Zack came and sat down next to me. Cue the awkward silence.

        "Umm, hi." I whispered to Zack. If he was gonna sit next to me, we should atleast be acquainted with each other. He slowly turned and looked at me up and down. After a few scrutinizing seconds, he replied, "Who are you?"

       "Esteban Julio Riccardo Montoya De La Rosa Ramirez." I replied, with a straight face. I could see a small smile etching on his face.

        "Hello, Rosa." He replied and turned his attention towards Mr Leonard.

     Rosa?

It was probably the only name he could comprehend.

I shrugged and paid attention to the class.

I entered the cafeteria and sat down at my usual table. After a few minutes, Chase joined in and he wasn't alone.

     I looked up to see Zack dragging a chair out from my table and sitting on it. "What's he doing here?"

      "Woah, weirdo. This is how you greet newbies?" Chase joked.

       "She said the same thing to me. Don't let her mean-ness get to you, Zack." Dayna stated while placing her food tray on the table and sitting next to me.

        "I'm not mean. I'm just curious." I retorted.

       "Haven't you heard? Curiosity killed the cat." Chase whispered in my ear.

        "Haven't you heard? Your comebacks have reached a new low." I whispered in his ear and laughed.

       Chase pouted, "You are a meanie."

        "Aww, I'm only mean to you." I cooed at him.

        Somebody cleared their throat and our attention was diverted towards the noise. "You guys flirt like an old couple." Zack stated.

         Dayna laughed, "They're insulting each other. Not flirting."

         "Damn right." I fist bumped Dayna.

         "Oh wait, I completely forgot. Introduce yourselves." Chase looked at me and Zack.

      "I'm batman." Zack said, probably in the worst imitation of batman's voice.

       "And I'm wonderwoman." I joked.

       Zack's face fell, "It's you."

       "Me?"
