It was about noon when she finished getting a speech from her teacher finally. She got a call from Vanessa asking for her help with the invites again. Maya accepted, leaving her boyfriend a text message, telling her where she would be. She stretched her arms up before driving over to her friendâs house, still feeling a bit tired, seven hours was never enough. She walked in again just to finish the project they had started weeks ago. âIâm so glad that weâre finally done.â Vanessa sighed, stacking the last envelope on the pile. Maya smiled at her. âHow are things with you? I mean, you havenât told me much since my news to you and we hardly get to see each other.â Vanessa said as they lounged lazily on the couch. Maya shrugged, nothing much had been happening. âJust trying to finish college you know, same old same old.â She giggled. They spoke for another hour before Maya thought it smart to go home. She left with a goodbye hug and started on her way home.
