* ✭ turning tables.

“i think sometimes that’s what people need, is a breath of fresh air and i think that’s exactly what you need. why don’t we go out for a few hours, we can do whatever you want to do. drowning? maya.. talk to me… that worries me. she needs to go to the hospital otherwise it’s going to get worse if she doesn’t get it looked at or checked up on. okay but if he does it again, i swear that boy will regret it.”

  “yeah, i’m aware” she says with a small smile now sitting down next to her friend and gave to her the cookies “sure, why not, but honestly, how many brownies did you eat?”

opening the pack of cookies, she shrugged and took one before holding them out to zoe. “not that many, what do i look like? a drug fiend?” 

        ❝ you’ve always been one of my biggest supporters, maya. even after i moved away, you were still leaving cute comments on my stuff. they’d always make me smile !  and i was thinking of doing a q&a or something like that. i’ve never gotten too personal before in any of my videos before though … oh !  but if i do any challenge videos, you have to come on as my guest. you can promo your music on it too, so it’s a win-win for both of us. ”

“well obviously, you’re still my best friend even if you moved away. i mean.. no one can replace friendships, plus girls totally have to support girls and all of that. you don’t have to get super personal unless you really want to, no one can force you to answer things, plus.. do people even ask stuff that serious? really..? you’d want me to be on your channel, and i could promo my music?  that’s really sweet, tor.”

“you could never bother me, maya nor could you ever be a bother. maybe with me in town i can help you relax a little and allow you to take a step back and take a breath. hey don’t talk like that. you’re doing your best and you just want to help mom. she fell? you know mom, she’s stubborn and doesn’t want the hospital to be involved. just know you can call me whenever you want. i’ll be there and i’ll answer. still, he hurt you, maya that’s not okay.”

“ah i did didn’t i? and i’ve taught you well. i’m really glad i’m home too. maya, you know you can always call me if you’re feeling sad or however it is you’re feeling. you know mom.. always wanting to put on a strong front for us all.. why haven’t you called and told me.. it makes me sad that it’s getting worse.. i get it, maya i do, but he shouldn’t be hurting you with whatever went down with him and this zoe girl.”

“you and katie always loved quoting that movie and it always makes me smile. i’m here for a little bit, i don’t have midterms and i don’t have much going on right now. is everything okay? you know you can talk to me, maya. what have i missed while i’ve been away? he better.. why would you give him another chance if he’s hurt you before?”

“of course, how could i forget that was always our favorite movie to watch together. the breakfast club is always a good one. okay well you’re hanging out with me and i say you can take a break from homework. oh how is he? oh yeah i remember him. oh well your secret is safe with me, i won’t say anything, but he better behave or i’ll kick him where it hurts.”

“we can do that if you want. what movies did you want to watch? we could snuggle in bed and have snacks all over the bed if you want. wait. does little maya have a date she wants to tell me about? who’s the lucky boy?”

“honestly, as much as i love mom, i’d rather just hang out with you and katie. knowing mom, she probably has other things planned that i’m not interested in.”

“wow i haven’t been to degrassi in so long and it’s so weird to be back. my mom is already breathing down my neck in activities she has planned for me and my sisters. am i excited? not as much as my mom is.”

“I am all yours – only yours.”

“Good, I’m glad to hear it. I’m only yours too.”

“No more denying it, huh? Then Maya Matlin, will you do me the honors and go on a date with me?”

“I’d love to, on one condition.. no doing anything with other girls this time around.”

   finally here she was. cookies on one hand and now going straight to maya’s room since katie let her in. zoe knocked on the door twice and then, she entered “here you are, well, the cookies are here”

@maymatlinn

the knock on her door caught the blonde off guard though she grinned brightly as soon as she saw zoe, or maybe it was at the cookies, who could be sure. “zoe, hi! you’re the best! do you wanna hang out? we could share them!”

        ❝ my youtube vids are finally reaching one million views, which means i have to introduce something new and fresh to the fans. any ideas ? ”

        “tor,  that’s so great! you could do like a series of challenges, blindfolded makeup, reverse makeup challenge.  maybe like question and answer games so the people watching can get to know you?”

“There’s no one else I’d rather hang out with – and if you’re stressed or upset or anything then I’m one-hundred percent going to be by your side. You’re a princess and deserve to be treated as such – as cheesy as that sounds. God…you have this hold on me, Maya, and it’ll never go away. You make me happy.”

“Everything you say sounds cheesy, at least sometimes but there’s not a single person that I’d rather be around either. You make me happy too, and it kinda sucks that I’ve denied it to myself for for this long.”
