"Good morning!" I shout as I enter the living a kiss mom and dad's head
"Hi babygirl. Ready for your junior year?" I nod
"No. Definitely not. But at least I have Riley and the others" I look at Chet and Bridget in awe before kneeling down and give them a kiss on the forehead.
These two are devils, I swear, especially at night. Still love them though. Chet giggles and starts pulling my hair.
"Okay Chet. No playing with my hair. You know that" I try to open up his hands but he has a very strong grip and I definitely don't wanna hurt him with my nail or something.
"Mom, Shawn, a little help here?" I ask when Bridget grabs my phone from the back pocket of my jeans.
"Maya, just open Chet's hand and take your phone back. Pretty simple" Mom replies with a yawn
"What if I hurt them?" Shawn sighs
"Okay, kiddo" he stands up and solves the whole situation
"There you go" he says to me while handing me the phone.
"Thanks" I grab my backpack and head out of the window
"Maya?"
"Yes, mom?"
"Don't you wanna hold them?" I shake my head.
"I'm late. I better go now. See you later, 'Kay?" I don't even let her reply before disappearing.
I love my siblings, I really do. And that's why I'm never gonna hold them or play with them. At least not for now. What if I hurt them somehow and they get hurt because of me? I better just keep my distance for now.
"Hey-o! I'm here" I say when I climb through my best friend's bay window
"Junior year! They say is the hardest one. What do you think about that?" I shrug
"It could be harder but I know that as long as long as we stick together then nothing will happen to us"
"Aww, Peaches!" I roll my eyes playfully
"Yeah, let's just go now. You got the keys to the car?" she nods. Since Elliot started college he has to take a totally different rout so that's why he can't drive us to school anymore. Luckily I have Riley who got her driver's licence recently to drive instead of him.
"You know, I still can't believe that you got your driver's licence" Elliot says while crossing his arms as he comes in the room with Josh following him
"Yeah, you're never focused on anything. You get distracted way too easily"
"Hey! That's not true!" I sigh
"They are right, Riles. You never focus on anything"
"Do you want the ride to school or you want to take the subway instead? Where you'll find criminals and lowlives?" I raise my eyebrows
"Lowlives? Riley, do I have to remind you where I'm from? Fordham?"
"Yeah but now you're here" I frown
"Would you have stayed my friend if I didn't move away?"
"Of course, Peaches"
"If I told you since the first moment that we met where I lived would you have become my friend?"
"I was too young to know all that stuff"
"Then what if we met when you were fully conscious about this?" she furrows her eyebrows as she thinks
"I guess so. I mean, you are an angel even though you come from there" she finally realizes
"You were trying to teach me something, didn't you?"
"Could be. What have you learned?"
"I learned not to judge people from where they come from because we're all capable of doing both good or bad"
"Congrats. You just passed the test" we shake hands
"Woah, Maya. I didn't know you could teach stuff" Josh says with a smirk
"Are you trying to become like my father?" I shake my head
"Nope. I ain't doing that. I'll leave that to Riley or Auggie"
"Hey! Why me?!"
"Cause Elliot is already studying to become a lawyer and following his mom's footsteps"
"Well, what if I wanna become an astronaut?"
"Honey, you don't wanna be an astronaut"
"Yeah, you're right. I still have no idea of what I'm gonna become"
"Well, you gotta start thinking about it this year and next year you'll have to send your college applications. So think wisely girls. Ready to go, Josh?" he nods
"Just a minute. Maya?"
"Yeah?"
"Still like me?"
"Yes"
"How about me?" I smile at Elliot
"Another yes"
"Okay, let's go nephew" they both walk out and I sigh.
"You wanna talk about it?"
"No. I don't wanna think about it" I smirk
"How are things going between you and Missy?" she starts blushing
"Oh, she's the best. Last night we went out. Dinner and movie and then we danced on the rooftop" she replies with dreamy eyes. I'm so happy she finally found someone.
"Sounds like love to me" I add with a grin but her smile falls
"What?"
"Come on, Riles. You've been together for more than six months now. You've survived summer and countless breakup Mondays. You can't tell me that your relationship is not that serious"
"Yeah, maybe you're right. But I'm scared" I frown
"Of what?"
"Of telling my parents, they still don't know. I have to tell them. That's the only thing that is missing to make my relationship 'official, official'!"
"How are you planning on doing it?"
"I don't know. But I was hoping you'd be there" I nod
"I'll definitely be there" she rests her head on my shoulder
"What if they don't accept me for who I am?"
"Then they'll hear a few words from me. I'll support you no matter what"
"I know. Thank you, Peaches. I'll always be there for you too"
