Too Predictable

{MAYA}

She was so used to classes, and now that they bounced, postponed, or canceled; Maya wanted to call one of the students she knew who had graduated a year ago and asked if things were how they were now.

She was surprised when she heard Brent talking outside her door on the phone.

Maya threw away her blankets and walked out of her bedroom. "Brent, what are you doing here?"

"Ah!" Brent jumped.

Maya rolled her eyes and flickered Brent's forehead, "just like that and you are scared? Come on."

"You are the one to talk. You haven't left the house since morning?" Brent asked and walked to the sitting room followed by Maya whose eyes darted around the house trying to figure out where her siblings were.

"Roy, your mom, and dad went out. The twins are in their room, I think Nadia is sleeping and Maya is." Brent paused and laughed. "Look at me you are Maya."
