a/n: hey guys! I started this story back in 2015 and I always had the idea for it but never got the chance to continue it and I think I should :) SO! here's a fresh start with this story
enjoy and watch out for typos!
Maya's POV
I woke up the next morning and proceeded to do my exact same routine. Smash my alarm clock, take a shower, put on my uniform, and go downstairs and eat breakfast. As I sat at the counter eating my cereal, I let out a sigh realizing that if I was back in the states right now then I would have already finished my school year and wouldn't have to be awake until 12 every day. The only plus side about living here was that school started at 9 instead of 8:25 and after each term/quarter we got a 2 week break. Our two week break was coming in about a week, which was basically the only thing getting me through this week and the next.
"What's wrong sweetie?" My mom asked a few seconds after I sighed.
Putting my spoon down, I finished chewing before responding, "nothing, I'm just tired." I continued to eat my cereal as my mom nodded her head and went back to typing into her phone. After finishing my cereal I walked to the sink and placed the bowl in it before grabbing my keys and my bag that was at the dining table.
"Oh Maya before you go, remember we have to go to the Hemmings' home tonight for a dinner party," I quickly shot my head up from staring at the counter when I realized that today was Friday.
"YES!" I shouted and laughed as my mom jumped up throwing a hand to her chest.
"Jesus, Maya calm down you'll wake Ben! And why are you so excited for a dinner party?" She questioned raising an eyebrow at me chuckling.
"Sorry mom, but I forgot today was Friday so I got excited," I explained as I glanced behind her and widened my eyes at the time that was portrayed on the oven clock. 8:45 was blinking in bright red numbers, "IT'S 8:45 I HAVE TO GO OHMYGOD!" I yelled as I ran out of the door while yelling bye to my mom in the process.
I mentally cursed to myself as I got stuck in the work traffic. And of course I chose today to not bring my textbooks home so now I have to go to my locker and go to class, just fan-fucking-tastic. To calm my nerves I turned on the radio to find a tune of Selena Gomez playing and silently thanked god for playing one of her songs. Finally, I was able to pass the small traffic on the main road and quickly drove to my school. Basically swerving into the parking lot, I found an empty parking spot at the front of the lot and parked there. I grabbed my bag and keys before running into my school. Unfortunately, this was not my first time being late, and my math professor told me if I was late again I would get a detention. I decided on not getting my textbook and ran right into class a couple of seconds after the bell rang. Although the bell rang about 5 seconds ago everyone's eyes turned to me and that's when I noticed my teacher staring at me disapprovingly.
"Maya, take your seat," I quickly strode over to my seat as she continued, "like I've told you multiple times I will not tolerate tardies, so you will get a detention." My eyes widened as I heard girls in the back snicker.
"But, Ms. Jenson I was late by like 5 seconds!" I argued getting annoyed that she was being unreasonable.
"Late is late, now don't argue unless you would like another detention?" She retaliated raising an eyebrow in an intimidating way.
I sunk down in my seat as she turned back to the board righting down our warm-up. What a great way to start the day. Pulling out my phone from my blazer pocket, I discretely texted my friends.
Bitches
Me: I came late to school today and now I have detention thanks to Jenson omfg
