MAYA - The Wallflower

CHAPTER 4 [THE INVITATION]

"Maya are you alright?"

 Maya and her group of friends Kisuna, Haruh and her sister Donna were sitting at a round table during break. A marble white one in the centre of the Cafeteria.

The girls watched ,confused as Maya angrily cut up her chicken with her silver fork, making the table vibrate as she prodded the meat on the ceramic some more.

Maya's waist long purple hair began to throw her off guard as it began blocking her view.  "Does anyone have a spare hairband?" Maya said. The other girls all exchanged troubled looks before shaking their heads at their angry companion. "Are you going to tell whats wrong or are you going to make me squeeze it out of you?" Said Haruh. Maya sighed throwing herself back into her plastic chair.

 "Girls , do you think that I'm a wallflower?"Donna chocked on her Pepsi coke.

IF ONLY THEY KNEW

Kisuna tilted her her to one side."You mean like an introvert?, kinda, OW Haruh don't pinch me!" "That will be the LEAST of your worries if you don't shut up" Haruh snapped back. Donna stifled a giggle. Haruh raised her eyebrows. "Why do you ask?" Maya Quickly shook her head. "Its nothing, just wondering."

 Kisuna continued"Your always at home on the weekends and the Holidays and you never seem to go out, do you realise how pretty you are? You need to go out with us sometimes, maybe even find a guy, instead of Locking yourself inside for the rest of your life."

 "Thats because I'm sometimes tired"

  "Your always tired"

   "No I'm not!!"

    "Then why didn't you attend Ayato's party last Saturday Hmm?"

    "I don't like Ayato"

    "Didn't your parents say something about him being your suitor"

    "I don't give A CRAP. Ayato this Ayato that all I hear about is Ayato, I see him enough at Family Dinners anyway"

"He is popular though" Donna noted "And handsome"  "He is Nothing compared To that Dark Mysterious guy who just transferred" Kisuna exclaimed lowering her voice to a stifling whisper. "Lev was it?"

Haruh rolled her eyes."How could I forget? The sophomores were practically drooling all over him at break yesterday" "Oh were they?." The girls slowly looked upwards to discover a  familiar someone Standing inches away from Maya's chair.

"He's probably one of those self absorbed guys who only care about themselves " Maya laughed  unbeknown to who stood behind.

Lev just stared at her in amusement
'Um , Maya?" Donna mouthed.
  Maya turned round to find the "Narcissist" inches away from her face. 

Her breath became hitched, his mint scent corroding her smell, her chair almost tipping over in shock

"I'm having a party this weekend, you can come if your not a complete loser" Maya spun back to her friends triumphantly. "And this." She exclaimed."Is exactly what i was talking about." She swivelved back towards Lev

"And why should I come to Any part of yours?''  Lev Shrugged. "I want to see if the rumours  about you are true" Maya opened her mouth. "What rumours? Hey wait!"

Lev had already disappeared into the hallway. All that was left on the table was an invitation.

 Maya ripped it open. Her friends crowded round to look in anticipation. "Ooh."

Maya slowly handed her sister the card, with no intention of reading the thing whatsoever. "This is madness." She muttered.

Donna mumbled along the formal details before  personal was found. "  "Oh look at this, It says that all of wallflowers friends can come too, sweet! wait,Wallflower? 

Maya  silently  shut the card.  "We're not going"

"Ohh, so thats why you were taking earlier if you were a - "

"Shut up guys, well done for placing the puzzle peices together."  

Donna smiled. "Oh well, I suppose if we never go to the party we'll never discover all the rumours that people have been saying about you then!" Maya stood up.

"I've changed my mind, lets go"
