Maya pov
I'm jealous. .. There I have admittedI'm jealous of Katie and how she fits in
I just wish I could throw my glasses away and still be able to see
I know for a nine year I should not be thinking about that. .. but I do
So boohoo
I'm in the bathroom I get to share with mikey right on my tiptoes trying to see myself without my glasses
"What are you doing " katie asks standing at the door
"Nothing " I say and quickly put on my glasses
she didn't notice since she helped me get down and took me to bed
"Maya you know it's past your bedtime .... we'll talk about whatever just happened tomorrow" she whispers
she didn't want to wake mikey up who was sound asleep in the other bed at the far end
Sometimes when he can't sleep he comes to my bed and sleeps sucking his thumb
But don't make fun of him ... He's still really small
I start feeling drowsy so I sleep hearing a click sound and darkness consumes me
And I said it ... I woke in the morning to find mikey there I slowly get out and put on my clothes
I love moana but Tyler said moana is for babies. .. he's the baby
I was going for breakfast when I hear Katie talking downstairs
I have an idea! I go to her room and into her bathroom
I see her makeup table so I look for contacts
I remember her friend tiffany buying her one for her birthday
So I take the pink one cause I just love pink
I wonder how people put them on ... what if I ...
And I screamed ... I managed to get it off my eye right on time cause my brothers and Katie came in with worried looks
I was crying because of the pain one of my eyes was redder than the other not because of crying
I had katie tell them something and they gave in ... she was given a look from lucas
" I'm sorry I was in your room " I said tears coming out
I saw her come forward. .. she was going to slap I just know it
But she didn't. .. she just hugged me letting me tears sock into her favourite hoodie
"How about we watch a movie " she said
She slowly lifted me up and took me into the movie room she made sure to lock it in case the boys came in
She chose moana and after the movie was over she wiped her tears
There was a bit of silence before she spoke up
"Now what were're you doing with my contacts" she asks looking at me
I just fiddled with my fingers. .. I do that when I'm hiding something
She didn't wait for my response cause she already knew the answer
"Maya do you think your ugly " she said with worry in her face
I shook my head violently
"Then tell me what is bothering you " she says her eyes not leaving mine
" I'm jealous of you " I finally spoke after what seemed like hours
My voice came out sad
"Your jealous of me ... I think I should be jealous of you. .. I mean your really pretty you've got cool glasses and your the best gymnastic I've ever seen "
That made me smile
"But I can't see without not glasses and the boys love you so much.."
"They love you too just as much as they love me probably even more " she says hugging me
"is that why I saw you roll your eyes " I say thinking maybe she hates me
She looks at me dead in the eyes
Then says it...
