Maya's Hart

Chapter 22

Topanga's POV:

It was late in the evening and Cory and I were talking.

"You know, I'm so glad Maya is living with us, it's basically like we had another child without going through all the hard part!" I laugh.

"What hard part?" Cory asks.

"Oh right, you wouldn't know." I muttered. "Basically the whole pregnancy thing, diaper changing, feeding, and potty training. I just love kids that when they're preteens. They're just starting to mature, understand more, and you can have really nice, interesting conversations with them."

"But I love them as little kids!"

"That's because you don't ever do the hard part."

"That's not true!" He scoffs. "Wait, does that mean we're not having another baby?!"

"Oh, shut up and sleep!" I smile and punch him playfully in the arm.

"You know, I have a very interesting idea on what to teach the kids about tomorrow!" Cory jumps up.

"What is it?"

"Well every time I'm walking through the hallways, I always hear someone insulting someone else for being gay, bisexual, asexual, etc. and just hearing kids using "gay" as an insult, so I'm going to teach them to be more respectful over other peoples sexuality! Oh boy I gotta write this down!" He reaches over to the nightstand and grabs his pen and notepad of lesson ideas.

"Hey! That's a great idea! Cory this is amazing, for once in your life you've thought of something actually useful!" I congratulate him.

"I know! Wait... Hey!" He pouts. I kiss him and we go under the covers.

Maya's POV:

Ah another wonderful morning at the Matthews! I was still smiling like crazy ever since yesterday. I even woke up before Riley, woke her up, and kissed her on the cheek. So this is how it is to feel truly happy, huh? I skipped down to breakfast.

"What's for breakfast, mom?" I ask joyfully.

"Mom?!" Topanga seemed surprised.

"Oh I hope you don't mind me calling you that, it's just that you're more of a mom to me than my real mom ever was!"

"No, no, mom is wonderful! Thank you." Topanga puts her hand over her chest and smiles.

"No problem!"

Riley quickly plops down next to me and we chow down on our oatmeal. Cory runs downstairs and quickly eats his oatmeal.

"You girls are going to love today's lesson, ok bye!" He quickly skipped out the door. Well, he seemed happy and in a rush.

"What's today's lesson about I wonder." Riley says.

"Trust me, your grade will seriously benefit from it. I think it'll be an interesting thing to learn about." Topanga smiles.

"Really? Even you agree? Then I guess it must be good! Come on Maya, let's get to class early!" She grabs my arm and we run out the door.

We quickly run to class. We were the second ones there, of course, Farkle was first. The class quickly filled in.

"Great! All of you are here on time!" Mr. Matthews (which was what I had to refer to him during school) cheers.

"Ok class, today we're learning about sexuality. Yes, we are talking about being straight, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, and etc. We will also learn about how to accept everyone's sexuality no matter what it is."

Me and Riley quickly looked at each other.

"Did you tell him?!" I whisper.

"No, did you?" She whispers back.

"No!" I quickly looked back at Mr. Matthews. I swear it's like he spies on us. Suddenly, Missy starts snickering in the back. Oh great, what now?

"Alright class," Mr. Matthews drew a guy stick figure on the board. "This man that I just drew, is gay. Now how would you say hello to this person?"

Missy and her little gang tried not to crack up. I seriously couldn't believe how immature they were. Lucas raises his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Friar?"

"I would say hello to him just as I would with anyone else. Just because his sexuality isn't straight, doesn't mean he should be treated any less than what a straight man would be treated as." He confidently replies.

"Impressive! Did everyone hear what Mr. Friar just said? This is how I want you guys to think. By a show of hands, how many of you truly believe what Lucas just addressed? And be honest."

Farkle, Lucas, Riley, 5 other kids (mostly the nerds), and I raise our hands. Mr. Matthews smiles at us.

"Great." He continued on with the lesson.

"Lesbians." Missy whispers loudly to Riley and I. Riley and I quickly shoot looks at each other.

How did she know? I bet she's fucking spying on us! She always knows what happens to me. I immediately lost it. I grab the hem of her shirt, make her stand up, and punch her straight in the face. I quickly ran out as Riley ran after me.
