"Now that we are here, it actually feels real!" Ashley exclaimed as she stopped the car in front of a huge beautifully built building. 

Maya got down and looked at her reflection on the window of the car. Truth to be told, she was nervous when she thought of meeting her mentor again. 

A lot of times people said that between the two sisters, it was Sofia who was naive one, whereas Maya was the 'mature' one. It may have been true in some aspects but, even Maya had her fair share of immaturity in her previous years. 

Maya laughed when she thought of her version from her late teens. It was not as if she had grown mature out of nowhere, in fact she was still learning the ways of the world… but the Maya of the age eighteen, truly had the 'rebellious stage' that people talked about.
