It had to be you

Just another day

Maya's POV

The annoying sound of my alarm went off once again. 'Here we go again' I thought slowly rubbing my eyes, trying to get rid of that sleepy state of mind. I got out of bed even slower. I'm a teenager, what would you expect? As usual, I stretched my whole body and then connected my bluetooth speaker to my phone. I pressed shuffle and, almost as if the gadjet had just read my mind, an angelic familiar voice, known as Ally Brooke, comes up singing the first part of 'Top Down' by Fifth Harmony. I know, the song is old, but hey! you can't deny that it's catchy and I think it's a good way to start my days. "Yup, from a small town cruisin' thru the big city ..." Camila sang as I picked my outfit and headed to the bathroom that was right next to my bedroom. The music continued as I washed my face with cold water. Ugh, I love this feeling. Next up, I had already brushed my long brown hair and was just finishing my dress up daily routine. I was kinda popular at school. I was that girl that is really friendly and loves to help her real friends. I'm also the one that have always the best comebacks in a fight and the shoulder to cry on. I can be sweet and I can be a hurricane when I have to, beacuse if you mess with my friends, you can consider yourself dead. With this you can imagine my style. I was wearing my favourite green sweatshirt that I bought when I went to Ireland on a school trip, black knee ripped jeans and my white superstars. With that, I grabbed my speaker, which was singing '1950' by King Princess now, turned it off, and went to the kitchen to get some cereal before going to the living room and turning the TV on and pressing the buttons to the news channel on the remote controller. Yes, I like to watch the news, I have the need to be informed about what good and bad is happening in our planet, sorry. By this time my parents are already up and minding their own business. "Good morning sweetie!" my mom says appearing in the room with a cup of coffee on one of her hands and a plate with toasts on the other. "Morning mom" I reply yawning. For some unknown reason I don't like to talk much in the morning, so after a couple of minutes I get up fom my spot on the leather couch and head to the bathroom ,for the second time that morning, to brush my theet. As I do my work, I make up a mental list of things that I have to do today:

-Do the English homework in Math class;

-Present the group work about Plastic Bottles and The Environment;

-Come up with a stupid excuse to pass PE class because I feel lazy today;

-Avoid Skyler at all costs.

'Of course, Maya, of course' I though as I made up the last task in my mind. Do you believe in that 'Everything is possible' bullshit? Well, try to avoid the person that literally became your oxygen then. Ever since I was little and unaware of most of the things in life, I always had the feeling that I was different from the other kids. And I was right. Yeah, they don't care about the world's social problems, but that's not what I'm talking about right now. All of my friends had always talked about meeting their prince one day and marry them and have lots and lots of kids with them and live happily ever after. I thought that too. The thing is, and that hadn't changed, every time I imagine my future, there's a woman by my side, and if I try to pretend it is a man I get upset and have this feeling that I'm never going to be happy with a man and I don't even know why. It was an internal battle everyday trying to come to terms with my own self and accept who I really am. But now I did! But still, I'm deadly afraid of telling this to anyone. Why can't I just have a normal life like my friends'? Now you must be thinking 'Such a drama queen' but trust me, it's not like that at all. You'll see that I don't define 'My boyfriend broke up with me' or 'I ran out of that nail polish' as a problem.

Pushing these thoughts aside, my body makes its way out of the bathroom, straight to my parents bedroom. I stop in the doorway and stare at the scene in front of me: my little sister laying in her bed... with her oxygen mask on. My feet move slowly, one by one, and approach the bed. I bend down, press a small kiss on her forehead and whisper the sentence that I repeat every morning to her "Come on little warrior, I know you, I believe that you will conquer this day and the others yet to come. For me... I love you princess, more than anything else in this universe.". I press another quick kiss to her forehead before making my steps to the front door and get out of the house screaming a quick "Bye mom!" and making my ten-minute walk to school.

As I'm walking while making bets with myself about what I would eat at luch today, someone tries to scare me by running and shouting agressively towards my person. I dind't flinch. "Oh come on Maya! Why do you gotta be like this?" Lilly said annoyed. "Oh please Lilly, we've been friends since kindergarten, you should know by now that it takes at least three Empire State Buildings exploding at the same time to make me flinch." I replyed giggling. "True though." she said crossing her arms and then smiling. Lilly and I have been friends since I can remember. I don't have a best friend but if you ask me if I have any close friend, I would be lying if I didn't mention Lilly. She's the only one who knows about me being gay. For many reasons, I must say. First, she is really open minded, so accepting new things is not that difficult for her; Second, she is bisexual; Third, I'm the only one who knows about her insecurities of  being a girl. Yes, she wants to be a boy. She doesn't feel totally herself being a girl and I respect it. She already told her mom, and although it was hard to hear it at first, she swallowed her pride and showed her daughter how much she loves and supports her and let things go slow by let her cut her hair short firstly; And last but not least, fourth, we have this kind of a friends with bennefits relationship, without sex obviously. That is, whenever one of us was stressed we would talk but somehow we would end up making out. Over and over again. And don't get me wrong, we are a hundred per cent sure  that we don't have feeling for each other, we just like it that way. Of course there are rules, we accorded that if one of us starts a serious relationship, the thing we have would stop existing untill the day it was needed again. "So, how's your little warrior doing?" the brunette asked with a spark in her eyes, I know how much she loves my sister too. "She's doing fine, lately she just uses the oxygen mask during the night, so I'm pretty happy!" I explained. "Thank God she's getting a little better!" my friend said with a childish smile. I agreed and we just make our usual way to school talking  about everything until we reach the school gate. 'Let's go Maya. It's just another day.' I said to myself and entered in hell with my friend.
