Maya was enjoying being a Senior. She felt like she had her graduation goal in her sites. It also helped that as an upperclassmen, her schedule was much lighter than usual. The best part... having a free period right after lunch. Lunch time never seemed long enough to be away from class and hang out with friends. This schedule would have been awesome at my old school... she thought to herself as she put her jacket in her locker. Atleast there I would have had friends to spend the time with.
She frowned slightly and shrugged, remembering that her old friends got her into a lot of trouble. Maya sat on the floor by her locker, Which was decorated with a small mirror and pictures of her daughter, and grabbed a small journal out of her bag.
Lately she didn't feel very inspired, so she hadn't written a song in weeks. But she was hoping the quiet time in the hall would help her jog up something.

Hearing the bell ring after lunch Warren huffed and puffed he hated this time of the day when he knew he had a free period. He didn't see the point in came to school to learn not to sit in the library or hallway for an hour to study he had plenty of free time to do that at home.
walking up to his locker he noticed a pretty girl sitting on the floor glad that he didn't actually have to ask her to move out of the way so he could put some books away and get the ones he needed out of his locker. Putting them into his bag he was carefully not to drop them on the girl that was sat inches away from him. Taking a quick look over at her before he decided he would head to the library to study, Warren noticed that she had a note book and couldn't help himself but ask if she was going over school notes, anytime he saw anyone with a notebook he had to ask the question as if he was a reporter trying to get a story. ''Hey'' Warren said joining her on the floor ''are you going over notes from one of your classes" he said taking out his own note book and pen and started going his check list of things he needed to do that day, but keeping it too himself so she didn't think he was too much of a nutter like most people did.

Maya sank into thought. She wondered if being happy was killing her muse. She sighed loudly and lay her head back against the locker as she noticed a boy walking toward her.
She pretended not to notice him as he put his stuff away. Absently doodling in her notebook. She felt like he was staring at her and began to feel a little awkward. Hoping he would hurry and leave, she was surprised when he sat down next to her.
"Oh... hey... " She smiled lightly and looked up into the prettiest eyes she had ever seen. "No.. Im not much for taking notes... I write. Music, poetry.. I keep this with me in case i think of something"

Warren let out a little sigh when she said she didn't really like taking notes. Seemed it was only him like always that liked taking notes but he wanted to get far in life and slacking off in his eyes by not taking notes wouldn't get him far. ''Oh cool'' Warren said putting his bag at the side of him. ''So what kind of poetry do you write?'' She looked like she would write happy stuff but then he was always told not to judge a book by it's cover and he applied that rule within his life. Crossing his legs so they wasn't sticking out in the middle of the hall just incase there was space for people to pass if anyone lingered by. ''So you trying to think of something to write about or am I killing your buzz by sitting here?" He asked, he didn't want to be a buzz kill and sit talking to her if she was in the middle of something.

"Well... I usually write whatever I'm feeling... but lately... I've had really bad writers block." she smiled and shook her head. "Nah, you aren't killing my buzz... there's no buzz to kill. Plus your the first person in this school to speak to me socially all school year."
Maya shrugged and fidgeted with her pen. People usually thought two things about her. Either she was stupid because she rarely spoke up in class, or carried books... or that she was just a bad kid because of her life. She pulled her knees up and wrapped her arms around them.
"What classes are you finishing up the year with?"

Warren nodded his head as she spoke he knew what it was like hardly anyone ever spoke to him and if they did it was normally to ask him to do their homework, copy his notes or for the answers to a test. He didn't really have time for friends. But with Summer on the horizion he guessed it was time to make new friends. He'd have a bit of free time during the holidays to see friends if he actually made any. ''Yeah people don't really talk to me either. Well only if they want something then they try and be my best friend'' Warren said looking over at the girl he was talking too. ''Oh I'm Warren by the way'' extending his arm while talking so that they could shake hands he wasn't sure if it was too formal but he wasn't sure how making friends at his age went. ''I'm doing a bit of everything I want to be a doctor that's my main goal in life so mainly bio chem maths and stuff like that. Wanna study to be a doctor at college but also wanna study maybe English on the side as well. What about you?''

Maya listened and frowned when he said people only talk to him if they want something. She had known way too many people like that and hated them for it. She smiled and shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you Warren. Im Maya."
She relaxed a bit and smiled at him again. He seemed like a good person and gave her a really good vibe. As he talked turned her body towards him so he had her full attention. Hearing him talk about his goal of being a doctor made her feel a bit inadequate. She had never really thought about her future and here this guy had his all planned out. Maya froze and swallowed hard when he turned his attention to her. "Me? ... well... I.... " She looked at the floor and then back up at him and shrugged "Ive never really thought about what I wanted in my life. I never thought I would get this far actually. My last 5 years were very... dark. And I had totally given up on having a normal life. Or even one that I could look back on and be proud of. Right now.. I take everything a day at a time.... I have a 4.0 and all honors classes... I stay out of trouble... and I try to be good to my family. The rest... well... I'd just like to enjoy the scenery for a little while. Since Ive missed so much of it"

Warren let out a small chuckle at her stammer when he asked what what she was doing at school and her basic life wishes. Most people reacted the same way as what she did just then. But he'd had his life set out year by year since he was a small boy playing football with his brothers. And living here in Riverside offered him better opportunities than living in England was able to give him. He was still getting to grips with the way things where ran and the grading system was pretty much different than what he had grown up with. ''so which classes are you on the honorary system for?" Warren asked once she'd finished talking. He figured it would be the best question to ask he didn't want to pry much after she said she'd had a few day years. That was her business and they had just met so it wasn't his place to ask. But he couldn't help but ask ''What have you missed out on'' it was in his head and out of his mouth Before he could stop himself.

Maya raised an eyebrow and smiled. "All of my classes really. English 4, Spanish 4, Calculus and Government. I have an independent study hall which counts as an elective. Its basically a counseling session" She laughed lightly at her counseling sessions. "I get to sit in with my guidance counselor one period a day to talk about my wants and dreams and whatnot... As you can see... still havent figured that out yet"
Maya chuckled nervously at his next question and glanced down the hall. She ran her fingers through her thick black hair and pulled it all to one side. A faint scar starting at the base of her hairline curved down to her shoulder.
"I have my ex to thank for this. A few years were missed because i was in a bad place ... this one time in my life... when I felt like I deserved this" She brushed her hand lightly over her neck and then quickly moved her hair to cover it. "Everyone around me knew I was drowning... knew he was the one holding me under... except me." she shrugged and looked into Warrens eyes. "I dont even know why I just told you that." she chuckled "Now who's the buzz kill?"

"Well I'm sure you will figure it out when the time is right" Warren said, "I've had my life figured out since I was a kid. My mum used to always say I had it figured out since I was about 3 or something. She said I used to dress up and use those plastic stephscope to play doctors'' Warren chuckled. Thinking about living with his mum made his feel sad but she understood why he was doing what he was. Plus he went home for Christmas since the air fare was expensive.
Warren screwed up his face when Maya showed him the scare that her ex had given her. He wanted to reach out and touch it but that would be invading her personal space and he didn't want to do that. If he hated one thing it was guys that overpowered any woman it made him feel sick and angry and he didn't get angry that often. ''Love is blind huh?" Warren smiled, it was something his aunt often said he'd seen his sister and cousin go through relationships and they guy ending up to be a jerk so he knew that saying all too well. ''hey you're not a buzz kill Maya it's my fault for asking you what I did. ''So what lesson have you got next? I have Bio which is one of my favourite subjects if you're allowed to have favourites'' warren chuckled.

Maya laughed with Warren as he talked about dressing up when he was younger. "You were probably adorable too!" she smiled again looking down at the floor again.
She saw the look on his face when he saw her scar, causing a lump to rise in her throat. Half expecting him to make his escape, she sighed quietly when he stayed and continued to talk. "I don't really blame love for my being stupid... how can you when there wasn't any to begin with." she shrugged her shoulders again, this time wishing she hadn't shown him her scar, but something about him made her feel at ease.
"I have Calculus next, we have an exam." she sighed loudly "The class is so boring.. I just want to get in .. take my test and get out of there!"
Maya relaxed against the lockers stretching her legs out in front of her. She adjusted her knee high black and pink striped socks and jumped slightly as the backs of her legs made contact with the cool linoleum floor. She tugged at her shorts as if they would get longer to shield her from the floor.
"So, what class do you have next?" She asked as she pulled a sweatshirt from above that was hanging inside her locker, tucking it under her knees.

Warren blushed slightly when she said he probably looked adorable dressed up. He wasn't used to people paying him complements of any kind. Even if it wasn't he still couldn't help but blush at what she said. ''I guess so. But only my mum ever said I was adorable" he chuckled.
Warren arched his eyebrows when Maya asked what class he had next he'd just said he had Bio next but repeated himself. ''I have Bio next so we are totally in different directions. So I can't even offer to walk you to your next class" Warren said not really quite sure why he was offering to walk her to her next class. Hearing his phone go off he grabbed it out of his bag and quickly read over the message from his sister. ''oh the joys'' he laughed, ''my sister wants me to pick my niece up from day care she needs to study some more for a test she has in the morning. Good job I've done all my homework and have a some what free evening. You up to much tonight?"

Maya's face felt hot as she realized he had already told her he had biology. She sighed loudly and bit her bottom lip, internally kicking herself. She smiled when he mentioned walking her to her class.
"Well... I have other classes." she smiled wide "You can walk me to class another time."
Doing her best not to stare at Warren as he checked his phone, Maya tucked her hair behind her ear and absently twisted a strand between her fingers. She smiled when he laughed.
"Thats cool that you help your sister your niece!" She smiled and then frowned her eyebrows. Though the fact that she had a daughter wasn't a secret. There was always that strange look she got from people when she said she had a child. And the "Oh" that followed the look might as well have been a firing squad.
"Nothing much really. I have to go home and relieve my mother of her babysitting duties..." she smiled lightly and then looked at the floor, allowing her hair to fall over her eyes "... Im hanging out with my favorite person in the world tonight... " she looked up at him and smiled pointing to a picture of her holding her daughter that was taped inside her locker. "You and your niece are welcome to hang out with us"

"Yep always help out with my niece love her so much I couldn't not see my self be a big part of her life" Warren said with a smile. One that didn't fade when she revealed that she herself had a child of her own. "that would be good. Carmel loves making new friends. She will play with anyone even the big kids when I take her too the park." Warren said, turning slightly towards Maya. "So do you wanna hang out at yours or at mine? I'm guessing Carmel will be too tired from day care to wanna go charging round the park. Plua I don't know how old your daughter is, or what she's called. Not that any of this matters to me well it does but it's so I can fill Carmel in when I've picked her up from daycare" Warren said, as he realised he was ramblering a family trait that everyone in his family had when ever they felt under pressure.

Maya smiled as Warren talked about his niece. Seeing him so happy at just the thought of the little girl made her smile even bigger. Listening to him talk she tried to keep from blushing.
"Sure..." the word sort of jumped out of her mouth. "I mean, we can go to my house, Trinity has a playroom I think Carmel would like...even if she is older." Maya smiled trying to hide her excitement. "She's 2. her birthday is next month. I would love for her to have a play date, she spends her days with my mom, I think she would enjoy having a friend her size to play with!"
Maya pulled her cell phone from her pocket. "I live on Ashlawn Terrace. At the end of the street, tan house with black shutters" she held up her phone "I guess exchanging numbers would be useful!" she smiled
