MAYA

I had killed thirty minutes at the school library searching for an interesting book to read. I then decided to hang around the building after school and wait for Keysha, who had a theater club meeting. She had said the meeting would only take half an hour. I had just entered the auditorium and taken a seat down near the stage. I listened as dates for the fall play tryouts were announced. Once they had finished up, I joined Keysha and we walked out together.

“So what’s the fall play going to be this year?” I asked as I allowed her to exit the auditorium first and enter the rest of the complex as we headed to the buses at the main entrance.

“A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens,” Keysha said.

“Do you think you’ll get the lead role?” I asked.

“That would be interesting, seeing as how Scrooge is a male. I could probably pull it off with the right costume and some really good makeup.”

“But then you’d have to walk around practicing speaking like an old stingy man,” I said, laughing out loud.

“You’re right. I was actually thinking of shooting for the role of the Ghost of Christmas Past but right now everything is still in the preplanning stage. I’m not sure that I’m going to try out this year. I just wanted to get information,” Keysha said as we exited the building and stepped out into the light of the sunset.

“Have you spoken to Wesley?” I asked.

“I got a text from him earlier. He said that he was being released.”

“That’s good,” I said.

“Are you going to be in any activities this year?” Keysha asked.

“I’m not sure what I’m going to do this year. If something interests me, I’ll let you know,” I said as we walked across the school parking lot.

“Have you talked to Misalo since history class this afternoon?”

“No. I can’t believe that he is in our history class,” I said.

“What I can’t believe is that your cousin, Viviana, is in my honors English class and in our history class.”

“Viviana is in your honors English class? That has to be a mistake. The girl can barely read a street sign,” I said.

“Well, if it was an error, I’m sure administration will catch it. Maybe that explains why she wasn’t in class today,” Keysha said. “Why she didn’t answer roll call.”

“Well, I know she came to school, which means she either ditched class or that administration caught their error and placed her into a basic English class,” I suggested.

“But that would not explain why she missed our history class, too,” Keysha reminded me.

“It’s not my job to worry about whether or not she comes to school. I couldn’t care less about her.” I was tired of devoting so much energy to the whereabouts of Viviana.

“Are you going to tell your parents that she wasn’t in class today?”

“No. They’ll send a letter home. She can explain then,” I said.

“Well, I’m going to head toward Wesley’s house. I just want to make sure he’s okay,” Keysha said.
