I wake up by the sound of my alarm. Yes, I started adopting a normal sleeping schedule, although it means that I had to cut off my painting time. Now I paint only during art class or at the art club. I hate not painting whenever but I want but this is all I can do now that I have to take care of my health. I get dressed, fix my hair and cook myself some waffles as breakfast, careful not to make any noises to wake Shawn or mom up. My phone rings and see that is another message from Elliot's ex Anna. I decide to ignore it. I don't need anymore negativity. She's been sending me a lot of texts saying some pretty nasty things. This has been happening for I go back to cooking but I burn myself. Why am I so stupid?!
"Ow!" I hiss in pain and head to the bathroom where I find a bandage and wrap it around my hand. Then I get back to the kitchen and finally eat.
Wow, I really missed my full breakfasts. I don't even remember why I stopped doing them... wait, now I remember, because they take away a lot of time! I rush to the bathroom, brush my teeth and climb out of my bay window. Time for another -awful- day of school!

*At school*

"Hello there!" Smakle shouts when she approaches me, Riley and Elliot, followed by Farkle, Zay and Lucas
"Hey baby" he gives me a quick peck
"Hey Lukey" I immediately cringe at that nickname
"I'm sorry. I'll never call you that, I swear" he chuckles but then frowns when he looks at my hand
"What happened to your right hand?"
"Oh. I just burned myself while doing some waffles. Don't worry though, it doesn't hurt as much as it did this morning" he gently takes it and kisses it, making me blush
"Why'd you do that?" he grins
"Does it feel better?"
"Yeah, I guess so" I admit, looking down and making everyone laugh
"Oh, stop"
"Hey!" the Bradford sisters join us
"Hey, Alice" Elliot wraps his arm around her and I can't help but feel... I don't know. I don't know how to call this feeling. Maybe I'm protective?
"Hey, Maya"
"Yes?"
"What happened to your hand?"
"Oh, I just burnt myself. But I'm fine, I swear" she nods
"Okay, so it doesn't hurt at all? Can you do all the movements you need?"
"Well, it hurts a little but I can definitely move my hand as I please"
"How did you burn yourself?" I chuckle
"I was cooking some waffles" her eyes light up
"Oh my gosh, I love waffles! And Missy does the best ones"
"Really?" I ask while looking at her, she's clearly trying to avoid the group's gaze
"I mean, I'm not the best in the world but... yeah"
"Well, then we all should meet sometime and cook some waffles" Riley says with excitement
"Yeah, that's good idea now that Maya's right hand is useless" Farkle add with a chuckle
"Hey, I can still do everything, including this..." I raise my middle finger up at him and we both laugh until the bell rings
"Okay, well, see you later at Topanga's" Alice glares at me
"After cheerleading and art club obviously" she smiles and nod
"Okay, see you later shortstack" my boyfriend hugs me while I groan, he knows how much I hate that nickname.
"I hate you" he chuckles
"Love you too" the cowboys then lowers his head, leaning in for a kiss. We kiss fro a hot minute until he pulls away
"No, please. We have no classes together today and I won't see you for a very long time. I'll miss you. Can I have one more kiss?" he frowns
"Why are you acting so clingy. I mean, I don't mind it at all but you've never been like this. It's almost as if you were scared to be alone"
"What? Of course not" the truth is that: yes, I'm hella scared. Anna wrote me a message a few days ago saying  that the moment she'd see me alone she'd take revenge over me and I don't have a good feeling about this. Wait, I'm Maya Hunter! I'm not scared of anything!
"Oh, really?" I nod
"Then why are you still hugging me tighter than before and still holding Riley's hand?" when did I start holding her hand?
"I don't feel my hand anymore" she adds and I let go of both of them
"I-I don't know" Elliot frowns
"Maya..."
"I...I gotta go to class now. See you later" I storm away.
I can't tell them about Anna. I can't tell them how much she has already affected me. I can't let them know that I'm weak. I've got a reputation to maintain after all.
