Chapter 53

• The moment the bell for the last period went. Maria hastily packed her stuff before striding to her friend's place. “I have to leave early guys, something came up,” Maria let out. “We thought you were going to celebrate your birthday with us?” they let out with pouty lips. “I would treat you girls out tomorrow, it's just that something really important came up,” Maria let out as the three girls engulfed themselves into a group hug.
• The moment Maria was out of sight the two girls giggled before packing their items. Maria sauntered to her locker to catch a glimpse of Paxon already waiting for her at her locker side. “You showed up?” Maria let out shyly. “Yeah, did you expect me to bail on you?” Paxon let out with a slight smirk that got Maria's heart on fire.
• “No, that wasn't what I meant,” She said, pushing her fallen hair to the back of her ear before staring at her shoes. “Since it's your birthday, I plan on treating you out but then again we have to get some new set of clothes, we shouldn't walk around in our uniforms,” Paxon advised making Maria nod.
