Maya Pov
We had barely moved to L.A. And was starting a new chapter to our life. Just me and my mom. She had a very bad divorce so we decided to move to the other side of the country and start fresh. My mother survived a very bad abusive relationship.We were driving to our new house with the u-haul trailing behind our car. It was a two-story with an attic and basement. We also had a big pool in the back-yard with a hot-tub. Once we had arrived, it was bigger than I had imagined. Mom pulled in the driveway and stopped the engine. "It's bigger than I thought.." I said as mom nodded. "Yep, it's just the two of us for now." mom said as I gave her a big smile. "We've made it work before." I said as she chuckled. The furniture was already installed we just needed to move the boxes inside. We both got out of the car and headed for the back of the u-haul. We gradually got all the boxes out of the u-haul and into the house. Mom and I sat down on our couch to catch our breathe for a few minutes. Mom then spoke "Alright, Maya go get your boxes and put them in your room." Mom said as I nodded. I made my way upstairs with two boxes and set them down on my bed. I did the same and carried more one by one up the stairs. Once we both finished putting boxes in our rooms we took our our stuff out of the boxes and started placing them. It took us a few hours before we actually finished. Me and my mom moved downstairs and started decorating and putting things in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, closet and basement. Once we both finished we took some ice cream from the fridge and ate some celebratory ice cream. Me and mom talked for a few hours. "So, you ready to start at a new high school?" Mom asked as I shrugged. "You know more than me that I hate school mom. I'm not excited. Just eager to graduate and rinse and repeat." I say blankly as I scooped up some ice cream, with the spoon. Mom looked at me and sighed. "I know the move wasn't ideal but-" "Mom, You don't have to. We HAD to move. We both know that." I said as mom nodded. "I know you left good friends behind..." Mom said as I shrugged. "We can always visit each other during summer." I said as she smiled. I always found the good side to everything. We continued to talk for hours. Once we both finished our ice cream mom volunteered to wash the cups and spoons for me to go upstairs and take a bath. I ran upstairs, hopped in the shower, after I finished I dried off and put some shorts and a tank top on. I then hopped in bed grabbing my laptop, placing it on my lap and then laid on my bed with my back against the headboard. I then got a text from my friend Carmen on my phone.
Carmen: Hey girl! Long time no see! How's the house?
Me: The house is great! We just finished moving in!
Carmen: That's awesome! Things aren't the same without you here Maya😭
Me: Awww! I miss you too! 😭💔
Carmen: The guys are horrible without you to tame them!😫I've been keeping them in check tho😎
Me: That's awesome! Make sure to tell them I said if they don't behave I'll smack them with a chancla!
Carmen: Oh! I will! 😈
Me: It's getting kinda late. I'll make sure to text you after school tomorrow!💕
Carmen: You better!😠Or else I'll haul my ass over there and beat you to a pulp!🤬
Me: I will😂 I promise🖐
Carmen: Okay, Goodnight!🌙
Me: Night! 💙
After that, I closed my laptop and said goodnight to mom. I headed to bed and got into the covers drifting off to sleep.
The Next Morning
My alarm went off at 6am and then I tiredly got up and went to the bathroom undressed and took a 1 minute shower. As I finished I wrapped myself in a towel walking into the bedroom. I quickly went to my wardrobe and took out my bra and underwear they were black. I wore a black crop top, black skinny jeans, and black converse. I then straightened my hair putting it in a ponytail with some bangs out. I wore a flannel wrapped around my waist. Grabbed my black backpack and my phone. I then opened my bedroom door walking downstairs to the kitchen. "Hey Mami, I'm gonna go ahead and head out. Love you!" I said walking to my mom giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek receiving one in return.I grabbed the house keys mom had given me before we had moved in and I walked straight to school it was literally a 10 minute walk. I had finally gotten to the front of the school. It was filled with busses and cars leaving high-schoolers in front. I sighed as I walked up to the building. I went up some steps and went inside the building. Not gonna lie I received some unsettling looks and went to the main office. I walked up to the front desk. "Excuse me?" There was a blonde elderly lady at the desk that looked up from the computer. "Yes, how may I help you?" She said in a polite manner. "I'm new here." I explained. "Ah, yes the transfer I was told about, Here is your schedule, I don't really don't know what an A+ student is doing at a school like this." She said smiling giving me my schedule. I chuckled. "It cant be that bad." I said reassuring myself. "Oh believe me dear in the years I have worked here there have been many many "issues". But I do wish you the best of luck." She says giving me a thumbs up. "Thanks!" I said walking out the door. It cant be that bad...Can it? As I was lost in my thoughts when I accidently bumped into someone.
"WATCH IT! YOU LITTLE BITCH!" A female girl shouted as she stumbled onto the ground. She fell on her ass and glared at me from the ground.Two girls crowded her and asked if she was okay.She was in a cheerleading outfit so I already knew she was trouble. " I was actually gonna apologize. But you don't deserve it. Soo... Bye~" I said as I walked off. She groaned in annoyance. As I walked away I could hear the gasp of utterly disgust from her high pitched voice.
Stopping in front of the girl's bathroom, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and It was a Latina looking girl. "Hi! My name's Rachel! Your the new transfer student right?" She said with a Spanish accent. I nodded as she chuckled "I can sense your a Latina tambien?(too?)" Rachel asked as I nodded. She then squealed with joy. "FINALLY ANOTHER LATINA!!!!" I laughed softly as she smiled at me waiting for my introduction. "I'm Maya" I said introducing myself. "So, What's your first period?" Rachel asked. "Language Arts." I said. She squealed. "Let me see your schedule real quick." She said as I handed my schedule to her. "YAY! We both have the same classes except for 4th and 7th." She said with exciting tone.
RIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIING
Throughout 1st and 3rd period Me and Rachel found out we were into the same things. We loved listening to daddy Yankee, shakira, ozunna and bad bunny. We had nothing to do so we secretly took out our phones exchanged numbers.Then came 4th period.
"I'll see you at lunch okay?" Rachel said as we both said our sad goodbyes. I gave her a huge hug that she returned back to me. Once we separated, I grabbed my things and walked to my 4th period. It was a confusing place since I wasn't used to the long corridors and endless hallways. But I finally found myself in front of room 107. I opened the door and got a scent of cigarettes. "Mr.Jackson, how many times must I tell you? No, smoking in the classroom!" The teacher yells as I look over to a young male leaning over the windowsill. He wears a leather jacket and blocked ripped up skinny jeans with black combat boots. He looks at me for a second then looks back at the teacher.
He then throws the cigarette out the window. "Happy now?" He says sarcastically smirking at the teacher taking his seat. The teacher glares at him and then he returns to his desk looking at me. "Ah! Your the new student." He says as he seats down motioning me to come over to his desk I walk towards his desk as he finds papers with me name on it. "This information is all correct right?" I nodd as he shuffles the paper. "I'm Mr.Denvor, Maya. I'm afraid the only seat we have is next to Mr.Jackson himself." Mr.Denvor says still glaring at the boy. I walk over to the empty seat. The boy starred at me with a cocky smirk as I sat down. Mr.Denvor then started teaching class. "So, since we're going to be partners. We might as well introduce ourselves." The boy said as he starred at me. "I'm Maya."I said holding my hand out for him to shake it. "Erin." he took my hand and shook it as his posture had a strong, edgy feel to him.
