Maya Frone
"What am I doing? Why am I doing this again?" I said with my hands pulling on my hair, I was frustrated with my calculus homework because it was torturing me.
"Ouch!" I said as my hair came out in my hands. "I seriously don't know why I'm doing this, I could just drop out of this stupid program and find me a sugar daddy!" I said as I placed my head in the pillow on top of my hands.
Tears started to flow down my face and onto my math notebook not because I was frustrated with my homework but because I was also tired of my life. Everyone had something nice going on for them. Some were traveling, vlogging as famous youtubers, some owned businesses, some had boyfriends while some were getting married. But I on the other hand is just concerned about my boring education, futile relationships, and my religion.
"Maya Frone!" they called my name as they said to me, "You're gonna do fine, your time will come when you will find the one."
Yeah that's what all my church elders tell me yet they are doing the opposite, they say it's because they are older they do not want to die single and I'm younger so I can wait longer. But I was getting impatient as the days went by, they told me I will find someone in college but I'm a senior now and nothing has happened. I am starting to lose faith.
I began to think about why no one has come and swooped me off my feet as yet. I don't believe that I'm ugly, at least not a lot, so why are all the guys ignoring me. I placed my head in the pillow again and screeched, I flopped my feet up and down in the bed.
I could not focus on my homework because the thoughts keep rushing through my head, when will it end?
I sucked it up and went back to doing my assignment. I didn't have a boyfriend, but I definitely don't want to zero that would bring my grade down.
My phone Rang, I was startled, I had the Glory Worshipper's ringtone on my phone and their music is normally loud.
I looked at the caller ID it was Linny, "OMG Maya!" she shouted in my ear, there was loud trap music in the background that I could hardly hear what she was saying.
"You are missing out on this party gurl!!!" she emphasized, but the noise in the background was so loud I could hardly hear what she was saying and she sounded distant.
"Linny, what party are you at now? It's Sunday and we have classes at 8 AM tomorrow!" I said shouting into my phone.
"UH? What did you say? I can't hear you over this turnt up music, I wish you were here," she said then she started to scream with everyone else.
"This is my favorite song!" she said then she started to sing.
"We have an assignment due tomorrow!" I shouted into my phone.
"What?" she said not listening to me but signing, I could hear Jose in the background singing as well at the top of his lungs".
"You are not gonna copy my assignment from me anymore, I can't believe you!" I said not really disappointed as this was her usual behavior but still it was a school night and it was late.
"Oh come on girl sharing is caring and you know me, we've been friends for so long I always get it done," she said laughing and carrying on with others in the background.
"Just text me when you are done, share the answers, I can work it out for myself," she said as she gulped, I knew she was drinking, "look I'm busy right now this party is so turnt, like you should see these hot guys, didn't you say you wanted a boyfriend?" she said at the top of her lungs the whole club must know my business now, "come now and I'll hook you up" her offer as tempting but I had to politely decline.
