Kelly kept pacing up and down, she was absolutely restless, Kelly really did like Maya but she was also jealous of Maya and the fact that Ariana had noticed what was happening, she had spiked Kelly's mind with all sort of wrong words making Kelly help her in ruining Maya's life.
"You need to calm down okay? Even if Maya leaves this school, Xavier will not rest till he knows why, because he likes her" Ariana paused, she grabbed Kelly's hands, making her face her, she continued.
"We have to make Xavier see who she truly is, besides we are going to need a back up story for Maya wanting to drop school" Ariana said
"So what are you planning on doing" Kelly asked
"That is why I need your help, to frame Maya for any scandal, she won't see it coming and she won't fight for justice" Ariana said with a smile
"Maya won't seat quite if she is framed" Kelly said
"Just do your part and do not worry about how or what she will do" Ariana concluded. Both ladies successfully plotted against Maya and were ready to execute their plan.
**********
Maya on the other hand, her mind was in disarray, today at the park with Adrian she felt different she had even forgotten about Ariana for a while, then she thought about how broken Adrian was, he wasn't able to express himself earlier then her mind drifted back to the debate of telling Adrian about Ariana and what will she do, she had no one to tell, Maya just laid on her bed, she knew this wasn't easy but she wasn't going to back down.
**********
The next morning at school, Maya was doing her best to avoid everyone but she couldn't avoid him.
"Hey Maya are you OK? I've been trying to reach out to you" Xavier said, he was so worried Maya could only sigh
"I'm fine just some personal stuff came up... What's that?" Maya asked as she realised a golden bracelet on his wrist.
"It belongs to my mum.... She gave it to me and I love and cherish it" he said with a smile
"It's so beautiful, can I see it?" Maya asked, she was so awed at the beauty of it
"I'm so sorry but I can't take it of or give to anyone, but I can buy you another like this" he said
"No it's okay" she said with a smile, then he threw his hands around her shoulder and both of them walked to class, with Maya busy throwing his hands away while he kept on putting it back, they looked like a couple playing around.
Adrian could only stand afar watching them, he was getting scared of his feelings, he just wanted to shut it off. He had regretted meeting her yesterday and taking her to the park. Adrian saw it that he has become soft and unguarded, he never actually believed in love or any emotions that were risky.
Meanwhile Kelly had already set her plan in motion, she saw how Maya had been staring at Xavier's bracelet and she knew it belonged to his mum, she just had to wait for him to take it of.
"Um hey Maya have you seen my bracelet, I took it of when I was in the boys room" Xavier said as he was busy searching for it, Maya only shrugged she offered to help him look for it. Just then the principal walked in, everyone instantly knew he was here for something very important.
The entire students gathered, wanting to here what he has to say. Maya quietly stood behind, something at the back of her mind told her this was trouble, she only confirmed it when she saw Ariana approaching her.
"What do you want" Maya asked
"You can't just drop out of school like that, Maya at least give the school a reason to expell you or something" Ariana stated, that was when it clicked, Ariana was about to frame her and expects her to not speak against it.
"Hello students, without wasting much of your time, it has come to my attention that few students has returned to being a nuisance.... Someone reported a drug intake of another student, and to be fair I won't say who made the report but I am here to carry out a search" Principal Harrington said, immediately gasps and whispers filled the air, everyone was whispering.
The other teachers in the room proceeded to search every lockers and bags. Ariana stood from a corner with a smug look, while Kelly on the other hand stood there staring at Maya, she felt bad for what she was doing but on the other hand she wanted Maya to just leave the school by any means.
Maya stood in anticipation, she already knew what was happening so she patiently waited for the drugs to be discovered in her locker... Just then everyone in the room let's out a gasps, heads turning to her direction with so many nasty comments filling the air.
"Miss Summer, be in my office now" Principal Harrington said and with that he left with the drugs he found in her locker in his hands, dismissing the search.
"What the hell is going on" Xavier exclaimed as he rushed over to her, holding her shoulders he looked into her eyes, waiting for her to deny it,but Maya kept silent.
"What do you expect her to say, Xavier it's obvious for someone as poor and miserable as her to have so much courage, she's definitely on drugs" Ariana said with a tsk.
"Maya, this can't be possible right? I mean you know this is a prestigious school where such behaviours aren't tolerated, you should be able to give up taking drugs since you came here" Kelly said, as she pretends to care, she had a sad look on, Maya on the other hand was disappointed Kelly would even believe this shit.
"Say something Maya, please" Xavier said, Maya just looked up at him, then she smiled.
"I have to be in the principal's office now" she said and with that she left. Ariana felt so happy she knew Maya won't try to deny it. So she felt accomplished.
Ariana took slow steps as she catwalked, "I need to go have a drink and party, I just won" She said to her self with a smile, just them she felt a strong hand grab her and pushed her to the corner.
"Why did you do it" his voice came out in a low growl, his eyes scanning hers with his body brooding over hers
"Adrian...." She muttered.
