It was around six-thirty and Maya woke up.
Of course she was still not feeling 100 % okay but she was feeling better.

She sigh as she immediately went to the Matthews.
Riley knew who it was and was all excited.

"You're here!" Riley said hugging her best friend.
"Barely," Maya let out as she was still waking up.
"What does that mean?" Riley asked and Maya saw Josh coming out of the hall.

"That probably means she isn't awake yet. Hey what you doing here so early?" Josh asked.
"Ask your niece," Maya said.
"Happy Birthday," Josh said giving Maya a hug.
"Thank you. Truly I don't have the energy for anything right now," Maya said.
"Why don't you sit down then I'll make you some tea?" Josh asked and Maya nods.

"Ah the birthday girl. How you feeling today?" Shawn asked.
"Well let's see. I don't have any energy neither do I think I have the potential strength to get through the day," Maya said.
"Funny," Riley said as Josh handed Maya a mug.

"Thank you Josh," Maya said.
"No problem. At least you don't have school today. Hopefully you'll feel better by Monday."
"Yeah, hopefully. Listen I have to go somewhere later but I'll be back a bit later," Maya said.
"Where?" Shawn asked.
"I have to go see my father. I don't know how I am going to cope with that one," Maya said.
"Listen I can take you if you want," Josh said.
"Yeah that will be nice thank you Josh. I just truly don't feel like going to see him but the lawyer suggested that I do see him before the entire thing with the move," Maya said.
"Good luck with that one," Riley said.
