If you met Maia you'd think of her as the same as anyone you've ever met. The girl on the magazine, and for a while, just for a while she wanted to believe the same thing. But she was different. The young girl does lose something that makes a life f...
We avoid people sometimes because we care. But sometimes it's possible to care to much. Suppose we face what scares us the most and we end up just like everybody else in this world. Someone with the same story or we could avoid our deepest, more irritating troubles and eventually save ourselves from financial problems and divorce papers.
That's just the way you've got to see it sometimes to survive in the realest parts of the world. Because believing that trouble will work out for the best, is like believing you passed that Math test you didn't even study for.
Every girl has a story she loves to tell that involves trouble and triumph. Every girl has a guy she likes. The difference? Well, my story was tragic and so was the guy I liked. My life was way more complicated than girl meets boy, girl falls in love, no. My life was all over the...
Before I could finish, there he was. "Hey, Mitchell. Can I see?" He took the journal out my hands. "Ross," I looked at him narrowing my eyes. Man oh man, I should've kissed him. He gave it back rolling his eyes. "Okay, okay, fine." He smiled after. There was a moment where he'd just make me laugh when he smiled. Smiling was Ross's thing. Laughing was mine.
"So I'm throwing a party Friday night and I was wondering..."
"No parties." I whispered not letting Ross hear me and remembering the last time I went to a party. "I'm not the party type." Ross's smile went to a straight line. "No fun, Maia! You know you wanna come," said Ross pulling strands of my hair. "Ohhh I don't.." "You smell like apples. I like apples." As he said that I realized I was suppose to be avoiding Ross because of yesterday, and luckily the bell rong for fifth Period, a class without Ross.
"Uh-huh," I said lightly, getting off my locker's " stomach " and swinging me and my apple smelling to class.
On the School Computer
It seemed the only way I was going to avoid Ross... was through the brain of internet...if that even exist. Plus I knew absolutely nothing about... guys.
10 Ways To Avoid A Guy Wiki.How
We've all been in this situation before; someone who is in a big time crush with you and you don't feel the same way. Here are some hints you can send his way, to tell him you don't feel the same way.
1.Tell him you don't like him.
Really? You don't think I would've tried that already?
2. Pretend that he doesn't exist.
3.Forbid your friends to give him any of your personal info (Good luck with that. Nina's a badder mouth. And he already has my number. Idiot Maia!)
4. Pretend your looking at him, but your actually looking at something behind him.
5. If you have a class with him, sit as far away from him as possible. (Tried that.)
6. Whenever your friends talk about him, make fun of him. (Remember to not get to carried away.)
7. If he keeps smiling at you, flirting, or pulling your hair simply tell him to stop.
8.Smile when he is upset about you not liking him.
9. Avoid his act of trying to make you jealous
10. Avoid everywhere he stops.
"Maia!?" Ms. Johnson blasted in my ear, as she read the top subject. My heart was thumping hard as I realized the class was suppose to be on SAT practice exams. "What ARE YOU DOING?"
I flinched my shoulders to my ears as the spit began popping on my face. "Science research...on...?" The class laughed at me, and the loudest of them all was Dana and Allie. Allie would be the one usually to tell everyone to shut the hell up... but I guess Allie was one of the wannabee's. What a best friend I had, huh?
But was I any better?
Detention
Dear. Journal
I guess it doesn't matter if you have best friends. What really matters if their true best friends. Allie and Dana we're clearly the new threat at Unison High, and you wouldn't believe it. She was exactly the one whom got ROSS into detention. So much for "Code Avoid."
Maybe I need to stop trying to forget about my past. Maybe that's what's messing me up. Stop planning my entire future, stop trying to figure out exactly how I feel and just see what happens. But I couldn't do that. I didn't know how anymore.
Love, Maia

"What did you do?" I asked him seeing if he or Allie was the culprit. If I was going to be stuck in a room full of geeks I might as well make small talk.
"Punched....I punched Allie." He said writing in his journal. He had been doing that for a while and I wondered if he had his own daily journal. And woah... I wondered what Allie had did to him... or vice versa, but he hit her....? Why? But if I asked I probably would've been ruining his train of thought. The way he was writing made me just keep my thoughts in my head.I
He couldn't have hit Allie over me.
Going To Ross' Empty Lunch Table
That day, Ross had been avoiding me, instead of me avoiding him. I wondered if this was a good sign or a bad sign. Did it mean Ross was over me? Or that I did something wrong? It took me some real guts to ask what was bothering him. And he told me in a whisper.
"Mitchell...be honest," He said looking serious. That is the first time I ever seen Ross look "serious." He continued. "Do you like me? Because, when I see you, I - it's almost different. It's like the room lights up when I see you and that doesn't happen for me," He breathes on my neck getting closer. "I like you Maia."
That was a question I couldn't answer. So I just avoided it.
"Maybe our mistakes, are what makes our fate." Carrie Bradshaw said. "Without them what would shape our lives?" Perhaps if I never went off course, I'd never find true love. True love. It's something often argued. But honestly if the person you decide to love are truthful to you on hard land, no matter what comes your way - that's as good as it gets to being your fairy tale you want it to be.
Probability is a bitch. And maybe I'd been wrong earlier. Sometimes it hurts, so we lie. We avoid what's gotten us in our mood but maybe if we avoid it for so long, eventually we'll become irritable to the situation. So I'd rather risk the financial problems and go bankrupt, sign the divorce papers that i'd already seen coming and probably pass that Math test that I never studied for just because of the chance - the one chance of being possible, makes it that harder to avoid. And when you are possible you are unavoidable.
Or have babies. Or be brave and have courage. After all seasons change. So do cities, and people. Will Ross change? But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. The real people. At the end of the day you don't have to avoid them anymore.
And all I know is that it's hard to stop looking at him... it's stupid.
