~flashback~

I looked around the school yard in fright at the sight of all the other kids my age; everyone knew each other and I'm over here, not only new but from a different county as well. It's my first day of American elementary school and I can already see cliques : the cools girls, the cool boys, the nerds, losers etc......where the frick would I fit in?

The bell rang and my classmates ran off to their classes as they waved goodbye to their mums and dads but I had mine behind me, my mum at least because my dad's at work right now.

"Come on sweetie, lets go find your class"

I held my mother's hand as tight as I could; I could feel this weird bubbly feeling in my stomach that made me feel sick. The kids at my last school were a bit mean to me and I grew up with them, what will these kids be like to someone new?

We walked the halls which were neatly decorated with different pictures and drawings and projects from different grades. Passing doors left and right Mum stopped me straight in front of a door with a teacher's name on it...

Mrs Booling

"Okay have a good day today hunny, I love you and I'll see you at 3"

Mum knocked on the door and waited for Mrs Booling to answer, leaving me alone once I was introduced with her...she seemed nice surprisingly.

"Okay class, we have a new student! All the way from England please welcome Maya Flington, Maya you can take the seat next to Gus"

Mrs Booling pointed to a chair near the window and next to a boy who was drawing in a notebook, could be worse I guess. I put my backpack down by my feet and pulled out my own pencil case and notepad, taking a seat and chewing the end of my pencil.

"I'm Gus"

I looked at the boy with shaggy blonde hair and brown eyes; he also wore a cheeky grin. I like him.

"I'm Maya"

Maya ~ current day

"Hey, you alive? You're getting out soon, lucky thing"

I looked over at my roommate, more like cell mate, and lightly smiled; today IS the day I get released from rehab after what? Four years? About fucking time.

"So you going back to London or staying in America?"

"Ima stay here. Yeah I miss mum and dad but I got people out here"

"You mean that Gus guy you always dream about? Hate to break it to you Maya but you've been here for four years and he didn't visit you once before he moved away"

"He's my best friend Joanna, I'm gonna find him...one day at least"

"Im telling ya boo, it's not gonna hap-"

"- Okay Flington, time to go"

I finished getting changed into the clothes I left with the nurses for when this day arrived, taking in the smell of the yellow gap hoodie; it still smells like Gussie.

"It was fun May, see you on the outside partner...stay away from heroine okay?"

"See ya partner"

The woman in scrubs led me to the front door where my Uber was waiting for me; handing me my bag containing all my personals that I wasn't allowed once I was actually out the door.

"Have a good one Mary"

"Yeah yeah...."

Here's to a sober life I guess.
