The strobes of the lights danced in a dizzying pattern across the ceiling as the club patrons cheered and yelled in excitement over their drinks, sweaty bodies pressed against her but she didn't care, not when the adrenaline pumping through her veins made her feel alive. "Woah!" Gabrielle cheered wildly, bouncing rhythmically on her feet as she moved to the music. Her wild curls stuck to her dark skin, sweat beading along them and sliding down her face. "You're sweaty," Maya shouted, pointing to her friend's gleaming chest but the girl simply grinned, tossing her head back and closing her eyes, "Sweetheart, everyone inside this goddamn club is," Her best friend slurred and Maya giggled. Gabrielle had a point, she could feel perspiration already rolling behind her ears. "I need to get a drink," Maya flapped her arms around, either Gabrielle didn't hear her or was too consumed in the music to notice what she'd said, Maya wasn't sure but she walked away from her and headed to the ba
Maya woke with a migraine, she groaned loudly and turned to the side. She squinted her eyes at the brightness of the light streaming through the window. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock hung at the far side of the wall. 7:15 She yawned and tried to remember her schedule for today when her eyes ran over the digits on the clock again, and then it hit her, "Shit!" She cursed, flying from the bed and making a mad dash to the bathroom, she hadn't even walked a few feet when her legs tangled with something and she tripped on the floor, smacking her nose against the wooden planks. "Ow..." She winced, holding her nose as she sat up slowly. She heard grumbling and her eyes fell on Gabrielle lying comfortably on the floor. "You bitch!" Maya yelled, smacking her friend hard on the ass, "Why the fuck are you even sleeping on the floor?" The dark-skinned girl barely registered the hit, instead muttering, "I dunno." She rolled her eyes, deciding to ignore her, and stood on her f
You're joking!"Maya refused to respond to her friend's question, choosing instead to take a long sip from her avocado smoothie.Gabrielle's grin widened at her silence, dark eyes gleaming in excitement, "you do you're fucked right? I mean throwing your professor to the ground is one thing, but cracking up in his class?!" "you don't have to be so fucking dramatic about it," maya grumbled under her breath but didn't bother to fight back the smile that threatened to tug at her lips."I gotta ask, how hot exactly is he?" Gabrielle leaned across the table, propping her elbow on it and resting her chin on her hand. "Jason wouldn't stop rambling about how good-looking your new psychology professor is."A chuckle slipped past her lips before she could stop it, earning herself an inquisitive look from her friend. She took another sip of her smoothie. "He's... attractive. In a conventional sort of way." She admitted with a shrug and grinned at Gabrielle who made a face in response. However,
Maya heard a soft laugh and a smile curled on her lip, but the line disconnected before she could say another word. Maya placed her phone back on the counter, finished drinking her water and decided to take a shower. By the time she made her way to bed later that night, her body still felt tired, but she wasn't exactly sleepy either. So she simply changed into pajamas and crawled onto the bed, grabbing her laptop. She'd decided to do some editing on the videos Gabrielle had recorded for her last week, Her fingers expertly scrolled through the mouse, her eyes searching the bright screen for the folder. When she found it, she scooted closer to the edge of the bed and began to work on editing the videos After spending what felt like hours on editing she finally sent the finished files to Gabrielle for review. The girl always had good eyes for things like these and with Gab being her personal manager and all, it was essential she ran every video through with her. Maya had been an act
"...don't forget to hit the subscribe button and the notification bell to get notified whenever I post a new video. I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful weekend."Maya smiled genuinely and pressed the pause button on the phone before placing it down on the countertop next to her, "That wasn't so bad," On hearing this, she threw her friend a dirty look and strolled into the living room. Gabrielle had laid comfortably on the longest couch they had, her hair was a pile of mess on her head and she had dark circles below her eyes, A part of Maya felt bad for the girl but the other part was furious and she let Gabrielle know, "I can't believe you!" She plopped on the couch by her side and dug her fingers into the bowl of popcorn in their middle. "Hey!" Gabrielle whined and she ignored her. "I apologized, besides it's not like I did anything wrong."Maya gave her an incredulous look, "I told you I had to shoot a video today, you know I'm always busy during the weekdays." Gabri
Do you make a habit of stumbling or is it one of your flirting techniques?"Her eyes widened on hearing his voice, she didn't need to turn to know who it was. There was only one person she knew that sounded like that: sultry, smooth, and seductive.He let her go without warning, stepping back and Maya stumbled forward slightly, feeling her legs go numb. She shook her head rapidly to clear it. The man chuckled and Maya swiveled to face him, narrowing her eyes dangerously at him.He arched a well-defined brow and his smirk grew wider, "No retorts this time?"Her mind raced with a million ways she could reply to him right now and she was sure all of them could either make her move further up his hate list or have him strangle her so she decided to remain quiet."You have something of mine." She stretched a hand at him and eyed his attire, she was surprised to say he was still in a dress suit and wondered if he taught a class today, "And I would very much appreciate it if you returned it
A giggle escaped Maya's lips as she read through the comment section of her post on Instagram, she was proud the pie came out even more perfect than she would have expected.Her thumb clicked on the heart button on one particular comment and typed a short response. The knock on the window startled her and she almost dropped her phone as a result, she glanced up to see who it was, and squinted when she recognized the grinning boy waving energetically, "Did you really have to fucking knock on the window?" She muttered, poking her head over the window and looking at him disapprovingly, "You know how sensitive Charlie is."Jason rolled his eyes and walked one to the other side, opening the door and plopping onto the passenger seat, "I don't know which one is worse," He began to say as he handed her a cup, "The fact that my car broke down last night or that you refer to yours as an actual person."Mays gratefully accepted the cup from her friend, to be honest, she didn't like the frat ho
Her heart sped up when his eyes fell on hers, it was a quick look but it made Maya's stomach flip. "I had the chance to look over every one of your responses to the questionnaire and…"Maya swore the whole class held their breaths, herself included, as they waited for the man to continue, "I honestly am disappointed. Although few of your answers were honest," He took slow strides to walk down the center aisle, stopping in front of the class and accessing them with a piercing gaze, "Most of them were too simplistic and lacking. I asked you to use references not copy them."Everyone's breathing stilted and Jason audibly sucked in air through his teeth beside her, making Maya squeeze his shoulder to calm him down. She watched as he crossed his arms across his chest, "That's why," he paused and inhaled deeply, "I decided to review each of your works personally, if you've checked your emails then you'll see the appointed day and time set aside for your assessment. I believe you all kn
