Maya
Were in the car again driving to the park to walk and talk. It’s nice hanging out with mom. She’s usually at work or drinking, and I'm usually at school or Anna’s. Mom stops and puts the car in park. “Ready?” she asks with a smile. “Yup.” We get out and walk over to the walking trail. “Now that school is over we’ll have more days like this.” I look at her. “Really? Because last summer you said that to me and we didn't.” i say. “This summer we are going to, I promise.” she tells me. “Alright.” I look forward and see a big group of teenageers walking this way. “Great teenagers.” I say out loud. “Just don’t say nor look at them then you're all good.” they get closer. “I like your shoes." I look up to see a teen boy looking at me. “Thanks.” I look behind him and see a girl. I stop. She stops too. “Millie.” I say a bit happy and surprised. The others stop and look, so does mom. “Holy shit Maya.” She walks over and gives me a hug then lets go and looks at me. “I've been trying to find you.” she tells me. “Yeah, I've tried to but no luck.” I told her. “Yea, will i was thinking about going to your friend Anna’s house but really thought that was a bit strange.” she tells me. “Oh, I get that.” the other teens walk up to us. “Who is this sis?” I look, it’s the boy who said they like my shoes. “This is Maya.” she says. “Oh, the girl I've heard so much about. Well Im Christopher or you can call me Chris.” he looks at me and smiles. “You know my sister never shuts up about you.” he says, Millie looks at him. “I don't talk about her all the time.” she tells him. “She does like non stop.” He laughs a bit. “Shut up Christopher.” She looks at me. “He’s an idiot so don't listen to him.” Chris' mouth drops. “You are mean,” he says. "Hey if this makes it any better i was thinking about you.” i say. She looks at me and blushes a bit. “Ooo hear that sis.” he elbows her. “Shut up, idiot of a brother.” she tells him. “Hey guys, let's hurry, it's about to be dark.” a guy says walking away. Others follow. “Catch you later Maya.” Chris says waving. “See ya.” I said back to him. Millie stays put. “Goodnight see you later.” She smiles and walks away. I walk over to mom. “Who was she?” mom asks. “Oh, a girl I met at a party.” I say without thinking. “What party?” I look up to mom. “Oh um, Anna invited me to this lgbt+ party.” I told her. “But you're not gay, are you?” she asks. “No I'm not, I was trying to be a good friend for Anna.” I told her. “Well if you are just know i would support you.” she says. "I'm not gay alright, not even bi." I say, trying to sound very nice about it. We begin walking again. “And about the party we're going to have a talk once we get home.” she tells me.

I look behind me. Maya and the woman start walking. “So new girlfriend or?” I look over to see Avery. “Nope, she's straight. Why, are you jelly?” I ask. “No, I'm not jealous. I was just wondering.” she tells me. “Wait.” I stop. “What?” Avery asks. "Shit." I look back to how far they got. But they didn't get too far. "What's wrong?" Avery asks. "I forgot something." I start walking the opposite way. "hey I'm going to catch up with you guys later." I start running. "Ok but hurry!" I hear Christopher yell. I kept running until I got to Maya. "Hey." They stop and look. Maya walks to me. "I forgot to ask for your number." I tell her trying to catch my breath. "Oh yeah, it would such if we lost each other again." She says with a smile. She hands me her phone. "I already put it on add new contact." She tells me. I put in my number. "Thanks." I tell her. "No prob." I hand her her phone back, she puts it in her pocket. "So what were you guys up to today?" I ask them. The woman walks up. "Celebrating Maya's birthday." The woman tells me. "Oh nice, how old are you now?" I ask. "I'm 15." Maya tells me. She looks at the woman. "This is my mom." She looks back at me. "Nice to meet you?" I wait for her. "You can call me Mrs.Grinder." she says. "alright." I smile at her. "Um scenie it's your doughter's birthday I was wondering if I could hang out with her tonight?" I ask. "well it's getting late and me and Maya need to talk about something. But I'm fine with tomorrow." Mrs. Grinder says sweetly. "Sounds good, thanks." I look at Maya. "I probably should go then." I give Maya a hug. "bye." She tells me. "Bye."
Hope everyone is having a great day! :) -Grape
