Hearts Beat Loud

what food do you want and when should I bring it?

My eyes swift over the text message from no one else than Maya. Maya is one of my closest friends

now and bring the usual! we're by the bleachers.

"Who was that?" It was Maya's boyfriend, Jordan.

"Maya." I replied simply. He groaned.

"What does she want now? If she mentions anything about her new car one more time I don't want to hear it." He sat down next to me on the bleachers, pulled out his sunglasses and layed his head back.

"She was actually asking me about food, she's bringing me some." He perked up. I laughed and then he did too. At that moment. A bright blue Jeep pulled up and Maya got out carrying two brown bags. The boys were playing football on the field and when they saw her most of them stopped. Maya strutted over to us. She always has to put a show on. Classic Maya.

"Jordan, why does your girlfriend walk like that?" He sighed and pulled his sunglasses down a little and peered at Maya.

"She is practicing to become a model I think," He had a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "I don't see why she has me as a boyfriend when she could have the most popular boy right over there," He pointed to the boy in a football jersey wrestling another mate. Scott Silva was the most popular boy in our high school. Everyone loves him because he has nice hair and has an Australian accent.

"Hello? Can you help me carry this up? And who are we staring at?" Our eyes quickly looked at Maya and we both rushed to her. I grabbed the food and Jordan helped Maya up and placed her on his lap.

"We were staring at Scott Silva." I pointed at him on the field. Maya squinted and shielded her hand over her eyes from the sun.

"I know him!" She said happily. Jordan rolled his eyes.

"You do?" I said as I ate my sandwich.

"Yah! He gave me a pencil and a note in Chemistry class."

"What did the note say?" Questioned Jordan. Maya pulled a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to us. Jordan quickly grabbed it out of her hands.

you have gorgeous eyes. want to hang out after 3rd? :)

"I'm surprised he spelled gorgeous right." I said as I ate more of my sandwich. Jordan laughed hard and Maya just glared at me.

"If you must know, he is actually quite smart."

"If he's so smart why don't you go date him?" Jordan said. Maya stared blankly at him. Jordan shrugged and put his sunglasses back on.

"You don't want to be with me anymore?" Maya asked sadly.

"Oh Maya, I was being sarcastic." Maya hit him in the shoulder. Jordan groaned.

"Oh you're fine, you baby." She said. I patted him on the back. Suddenly I saw a football coming toward us. We all squealed like big babies. Even Jordan squealed. Of course it had to be Scott's ball. He came running over to us.

"Hey Maya! Can you be so kind and give me my ball back?" We all looked at each other. Maya picked it up.

"Oh you mean this ball?" She said, playing with her hair. Jordan and I shook our heads. Scott looked at Maya and quickly did a scan of her body. Gross.
