Maya tried to decipher what was happening, why the drama? "omg!!! Ariana Johnson is really here in person" a short blond squealed in joy "you are so heavenly my queen" another boy screamed from behind that was when Maya realised that everyone had gone mad just because a pretty girl stepped into the class, she couldn't even see the so called queen properly, out of curiosity she forced her way forward to have a clear look, she was instantly amazed by Ariana's dazzling beauty, her glossy hair fell in perfect waves, her designer uniform fit so gorgeously against her perfectly curved body, her skin so spotless and smooth like a baby's, the aura she emitted Maya could only sigh as she retreated to her seat, sliding slowly in, just wondering whether this school was actually a modelling school.
Suddenly the class goes silently with just a raise of her finger "I've missed every single one of you" she said with a polite smile "am hear to make an announcement, as you all know I brought back the cup home, I won representing our school in the international championships, and this calls for a celebration am here to personally tell you all that there will be a very big party held at my mansion" she stated then lots of screams followed "am going to email you guys the invitation, it's a strict party, no invites no entry byeee I love you all" she said with severe aura then everyone cheered on and on for her. Maya was completely lost, everyone had already started leaving the class as school had come to an end for the day.
"I guess you don't know her, anyways am going to tell you so you don't make a mistake of slapping her like you did with Adrian" Kelly mocked as she approached Maya "I don't care, I know she is rich and all but as far as she stays out of my way, I'll do the same" Maya said as she packed her stuffs but Kelly went on anyways "Her family the Johnsons are very wealthy billionaires, they are actually politicians, I hear her dad actually wants to run for a presidential election and her mum has the biggest hospital in America, although they don't surpass the Cole dynamics in wealth" Kelly explained "wow" Maya could only say she honestly didn't expect Ariana to be this rich and also very brilliant it's like God was being partial when creating some people "what about you?" Maya asked, of course Kelly has to be so rich she looks like a freaking model "Actually my dad Is the third best lawyer in the country and my mum runs the country biggest fashion business" Kelly said casually like it wasn't a big deal Maya immediately wondered how there are friends despite their different status.
School ended, and as Maya packed her bag, ready to head out someone approached her telling her a teacher was calling her "I'll get going byeee" Kelly waved at her then left Maya was told the chemistry teacher wanted to see her at the chem lab, maybe he wanted to talk about the incident so Maya went into the lab but surprisingly the lights were off she turned around to ask the student where the teacher was but the student was gone, she decided to leave but before she could leave, the door clicked shut. She pulled at the knob—it wouldn't budge, it was then Maya realised she had been setup again she reached out for her phone not sure of who to call she had neither Xavier nor Kelly's contact yet, she was really done for. She kept hitting the door, screaming for help, she could feel her throats dry up and her chest growing heavy, her head was literally spinning, then she noticed it: a faint hiss, a chemical smell. Gas was leaking from one of the pipes. Her chest grew heavy, her breaths short. She pounded on the door, but no one answered. Minutes passed, her vision blurring. Darkness closing in, Maya was so scared was she really going to die here?
Meanwhile Adrian was still on the field practising with Xavier busy watching him, he got of the field wiped his sweat hands on his waist with a smug look on his face "you look like you just won a lottery, what's that look for?" Xavier asked noticing the sly look on his face "I finally get to teach her a lesson and if she survives this Xavier she will cawor in fear when she sees me" Adrian said with a slow dark laugh that only made him look like a psychotic killer in horror movies "what are you talking about?" Xavier asked already having a bad feeling about it "that girl who slapped me, I had her locked up in the chemistry lab..... Oh and I had someone release a crazy toxic gas" Adrian said nonchalantly Xavier couldn't breath for a moment "what tf Adrian" Xavier yelled attracting other players on the field then he took of running like someone who was about to save the most precious thing in his life, Adrian was really shocked and confused.
Xavier sprinted off without another word, his pulse hammering,as he headed to the lab by the time he forced the lab door open, Maya was laying there unconscious on the floor.
"Maya!" His voice cracked with panic. He lifted her into his arms, rushed her outside, and without hesitation, carried her straight into his car. Tires screeched as he sped to the hospital. Leaving everyone who had seen him especially Adrian in a confused state. He had her admitted in a hospital where she was properly taken care of, Xavier was really panicking he felt like beating the crap out of Adrian, he had actually crossed his limits. When Maya finally stirred awake in the quiet hospital room, the first thing she saw was Xavier, sitting at her side, relief flooding his face. "You're awake," he breathed, his voice tinged with worry." what am I doing here?"Maya asked as she kept looking around " I um found you unconscious in the chemistry lab so I brought you here" Xavier explained "yh but this place looks so big and expensive, who is paying the bills" Maya asked eyes opened Xavier couldn't believe it she had nearly died and she is worried about the bills he wanted to laugh but he had to think of something or else he was done for "uhhh every student at Crestwood gets treated here, it's part of the stuff we pay for both as scholarship kids" he lied "wow" Maya could only say "but how do you happen to keep saving me?" Maya asked, it seemed like he had a GPS installed on her "haha, it's destiny princess" he joked she could only roll her eyes at him "thanks alot Xavier, I don't know what could have happened to me if you...." "hey it's okay no need for the thanks that's what friends are for right?" he said smiling, Maya could only smile back at him, at least one poor person like her really understands her, she has someone she is in this fight with.
