Maya's POV
I stayed at the Matthews home for about an hour before they drove me home
I am now at the door of my apartment, contemplating whether I should go inside or run away like a coward
I eventually take a deep breath in and open the door
"Where have you been!? You should have been home already!" My step-father yells at me as soon as the door closes
"I-I went to the doctor and then to my friend Riley's" I say
He stands up and walks towards me. I stand still because I know that if I move the pain will come worse
"When I tell you something I expect you to listen you dumb little bitch! No wonder your mother would rather send you back home with me than have to spend one more second with you, you worthless whore!" He yells taking small steps closer and closer to me
"I'm sorry" I whisper, still not moving
"You think a sorry is going to help?" He asks, grabbing my arm
He raises his fist and I close my eyes, ready to endure the pain
After a few seconds of waiting, I open my eyes to see his fist relaxed and down by his waist
I look at him a little confused, but still afraid of what is to come
"Go to your room Maya" he says
I listen to him without hesitation and run to my bedroom
That was really weird. Why didn't he just hit me? Why did he act so calm, or as calm as I have ever seen him when he is mad or drunk?
He is probably just letting you think that you're safe and then he is going to attack and make it hurt like hell
That's sounds more like him
So for the next hour I quietly lay in bed and wait for him to come in my room and beat me unmercifully with no explanation, but it never happened
I eventually fall asleep full of thoughts and questions about the events that took place that night
• • • • • • • •
I wake up to the sound of my step-father banging on my bedroom door
Here comes the ass-whooping!
Uh-oh
I get out of bed and slowly open the door
"Why the fuck aren't you ready for school yet!?" He yells
"I-my-the alarm, it didn't go off. I didn't hear it. I'm sorry" I ramble
"Well stop moving your non-existent lips and get your ugly flat ass ready" he yells at me and walks away
I turn around and walk to my bathroom. I look in the mirror and study my features
I really am an ugly, worthless, dumb bitch. Lucas would never like a girl like me
I brush my ugly hair and my yellow teeth. I put on some decent clothes to cover up my fat, ugly body. I put some boots on to make my short legs look longer. I cover all of my nasty bruises, scars, and disgusting acne with makeup
I take one more glance at the mirror and hate everything that I see
I grab my bag and coat and walk out the door towards the school
I run as fast as I can and make it into the classroom just as the bell rings
"Right on time Miss Hart" Mr. Matthews says
I nod and sit in my seat
"Today we will be talking about a man by the name of Alexander Hamilton. Who was he and why is he important in our lives now?" Mr. Matthews asks
I usually wouldn't pay attention, but Alexander Hamilton is amazing. And, Hamilton is my all time favorite play and love story combined
I slowly raise my hand
"Maya! I am astonished. Are you feeling alright" He asks sarcastically
"I'm okay, I promise" I put on a fake smile
"Then proceed" he lets me continue
"Alexander Hamilton is today known as the Founding Father of the United States. He was also our countries first Secretary of the Treasury. As a child he was an orphan because of his mother's death and his father's abandonment, so he was taken in by his older cousin and later by a merchant family. Because of his intelligence and hard-working attitude, he made it in life and became a big part of American history" I smile "He is also the main character of my all time favorite love story, Hamilton" I finish
The whole class looks at me amazed
"I can be smart if I choose to" I say to all of them
"Very good Miss Hart" Mr. Matthews gives me an encouraging smile
"Good job Maya" I hear Lucas say from behind me
I turn around to face him. He is smiling his adorable, dorky smile
"Thanks" I say, slightly blushing, and turn back around
Class continues and I kind of doze off until I hear Mr. Matthews say,
"I have assigned you to a group of four. You will discuss the topics on the sheet of paper I am handing out about the Hamilton play. Your groups can be found on the board" He explains
After being handed my paper I walk up to the board
Sarah, Darby, Dave, Yogi
Brandon, Bradley, Missy, Billy
Riley, Farkle, Maya, and Lucas
I cannot be in a group with Riley and Lucas together. Riley will flirt the whole time and I will be third wheeling along with Farkle
And we are going to be talking about the greatest love story of all time!
"So, do you guys want to meet at my house after school for the assignment?" Riley offers
"Of course"
"Sure"
"Yeah" We all say at the same timeThis is going to end horribly
(Good thing Maya doesn't get to choose the endings, I do)~.-.~.-.~.-.~.-.~
Okay, so the next chapter will be after school when the group meets up for the group assignment
I know you have been waiting for more Lucaya moments, so I will make sure the next chapter has some!
