Maya Marks was a 17 year old girl who wore a pair of gorgeous glasses, had lushious flowy brunnette hair that travels down to her waist, always wore a sweater even in summers and loved to read books especially fiction who recided in number 13 of Lard Grove. She lived with her very protective father, George Marks, Caring mother Laurel Marks and her annoying brother who gets cherished by all the girls at school, Marlin Marks.
On one most September morning, the common enemy, the alarm clock buzzes to wake up Maya from her sleep. There was still a book lying upon her face, she slept while reading last night. She wakes up and gets herself ready and heads downstairs to the dining room, where her mother had lined up dishes on which fluffy pancakes laid as if they said "Come and eat me!".
Maya sat down and her father told "So, Maya, it's your first day of Lard High and I just know that my little princess is going to shine! And for Marlin its his fourth year and I sure do hope I don't get any calls from teachers again," and sighs just knowing that his phone is in for some lot of calls. "More eating less dreaming" said Laurel who just wanted to send the kids to school and her husband to work to finally get started on the chores.
Maya previously studied in one of the most prestigious academies of Lard Grove, Stark High. She was the head of the newspaper department and also the chief editor. One day she found out that the principal of that school was having an affair with one of the teachers and she published this. In rage, the principal expelled her leading her to go to a school for failures, Lard High
Maya and Marlin reach their school and Marlin walks as fast as he can into what many people consider to be hell as he didn't want to be seen around his nerdy sister. Maya walks with fear in her steps thinking about the countless bullies, jerks and teachers and a doubt if she will ever make a friend, and for a boyfriend, she hopes for at least a situationship.
She goes to her locker and takes some books and starts to go to maths class where she accidentally steps on Helena's foot causing her to outrage. " EXCUSE ME! But where have you got your EYES WOMAN!! Can't you see me here or what?" Helena Buckingham, a very zesty girl with blonde hair, a girl not to be messed with for out of world actions and responses.
Maya akwardly said sorry and rushed to maths class. She sat in her assigned seat waiting for the teacher to come. The door creaked open and it was Helena who sat beside Maya. "What are you doing here girl?" she nutted. "Th-th-this is my assigned seat." said Maya. Helena at once said " Great! Just great, I have to sit beside a nerd now for the whole year!" in a very sarcastic tone.
Then, Mrs.Rodriguez came inside. "Hello students, I am Kathrina Rodriguez, your maths teacher for this year, looks like we have a new student. Ms.Marks, why don't you introduce yourself." Maya stood timidly, too introverted to talk, she stuttered " H-h-hi I am Maya Ma-Marks and I-"
"Sorry but can someone translate, because I don't speak broken record" said Adrian, a bully who had black hair clearly dyed blonde, roamed the hallways with his big body and broad shoulders and eyes always searching for a target to be bullied.
The whole class laughed as Maya's face turned purple in shame. At once, Helena got up and said "Looks like I'm gonna need a translator too because I don't speak spoiled brat." The class became silent and Adrian's face flushed with fury, before he could say anything Mrs.Rodriguez squeeled in her squirrel like voice " Thats enough Mrs.Buckingham, and for you too Mr.Otto, we've come here for education, not to laugh at others despair."
Maya looked shocked to see such kindess in Helena and looked at her and her mouth automatically opened to say "Why did you do that?" Helena smiled and said "I mean you are a nerd, but it doesn't mean that he could just act like that to anyone. It's giving edgelord." As the period ended Adrian goes to Maya in the hallways and exclaims "So, you think your tough huh?"
"N-no I-"
"You better not mess with me or else..."
"I'm sorry"
"You better be"
Maya just continues on with her day and school's almost going to end just one period left, English. Maya walks into the class as usual and sits down waiting for the teacher to come. She waits for more than ten minutes or so as the class continues to make noise. She finally asks Helena why the teacher hasn't come yet for which she responds "Well, you see, the last English teacher here quit his job. Rumours are that he was helping the drama club that day with their Romeo and Juliet play and stayed in the staff room to get some work done. It was six p.m when he had finally finished all his work and was going down the stairs where he accidentally tripped and fell into a very mysterious room. It took him some good lot of hours to get out of there."
" After he got out he at once informed the principal about this room. He told that there were pictures of many girls and boys in that room of which some were crossed with red ink and others were labelled 'to be mine'. This creeped out a lot of students and staff. Soon he did leave the school as he didn't want to stay anymore in a place with a devil like room. I guess no one is still brave enough to apply for the English teacher's post yet."
Maya after listening to this thought deep and well about this mysterious room near the stairs and thought it was just a hoax. A guy shouted "it's been fifteen minutes... We can leave." And so did everyone. Marlin was staying for his drama club practice and Maya left the school. She got on the train still pondering about the mysterious room.
