Chapter 21 Where is Maya

• Even though Tom said he was going to pick us, I was secretly hoping Mark will come as he had promised. I longed for his calls, and kept checking my phone literally every minute for even a text message but to no avail. I thought to myself what I did to deserve this treatment from him. Didn't he promise to come take me to the party? My mind was filled with all the negatives but I still tried to stay calm.
• "You look stunning Maya, all eyes are going to be on you again," Tracy teased, pulling me from my thoughts. "But you look sad," she continued. Hey, we are going for a party and not a funeral remember? What's with this sad face?" You know what, I know that Mark will come over. I think he is planning a surprise for you," She said pouting, when she noticed I wasn't talking.
• "I hope so, Tracy. I really do. I just have..." I paused and she run off instantly.
