章節 7: Dude, How Is He This Hot?

When Maiah regains consciousness, she sees that she is in a different place from before. There is a soft bed beneath her, and she's surrounded by excessively pink walls. The pink color was so bright Maiah had to squint, to further analyze her surroundings.

"Geez, what maniac likes pink to such an extent it's blinding," Maiah rubbed her eyes and sighed.

She then sits ups slowly, as she moves Maiah then notices how sore her body is. Confused she tries to move around but winces, the pain was unbearable.

'What'd I do? Run in the Olympics or something? She thought. Trying to endure the pain Maiah continues to attempt a sitting position. Maiah was so consumed by the pain that she did not notice when someone entered the room.

The person stood quietly by the door watching Maiah struggle until she finally was able to sit properly. Accomplishing her goal Maiah released a rare brilliant smile and let out a sigh of contentment. "Yay I did it!" Maiah softly exclaimed.

"You're awake I see." A young voice said.

Startled Maiah spins around with haste forgetting how tender her body currently is and manages to fall off the bed. Maiah shrieks and braces herself for the pain that is to come. Hm? How come I feel no pain? Even if there was a carpet on the floor it'd still hurt. Maiah thought and cautiously opened her eyes. She found herself in someone's arms.

Maiah saw pearlescent white skin, through some very pink parted lips, small white teeth could be seen. And a pair of frighteningly cold eyes chilled but enchanted Maiah. She was close enough to see each strand of his dark lashes, by a young boy around her age Maiah, was left breathless and in a daze. The boy calmly looked at her with unclear emotions in his eyes, then he suddenly creased his brows and the emotions in his eyes grew cold. The boy abruptly dropped Maiah on her bum and stood up, causing her to cry out.

"Hey!" Maiah pouted and glared at him.

Oi, what's with this guy! Suddenly holding me out of nowhere then dropping me. That's just rude, he doesn't even apologize he just stands there. What, is he missing parents to teach him manners! Geez! Maiah endlessly ranted in her mind and silently endured the pain on her butt.

"I have parents I just haven't seen them in a while. I dropped you because you were heavy and my hands are tired, you should be thanking me for saving you. Perhaps you are the one without parents that teach manners." The boy, with his arms crossed and brow arched retorted to the words unsaid.

Maiah gaped at him. Then raised her index finger to his face

"H-how can you respond to what I'm thinking! That's just rude of you to invade my thoughts like than- wait how can you do that, are you a magician? And my mother has taught me manners, she also taught me to get an eye for an eye so watch out!" Maiah exclaimed venting her recent grievances. The boy was a bit surprised not expecting such a loud reaction from her, but even so he was threatened by a little girl shorter than him, so to protect his little pride he continued arguing with her.

" I'm not a magician, I'm- I am an uh-" The boy couldn't finish because Maiah cut in.

"You are what? I am waiting, yup as I thought you're a magician! Don't try to trick me I am seven years old I'll have you know and the smartest black kid in my whole grade!" Maiah shamelessly bragged about her accomplishments with her small nose high up in the air.

The boy couldn't let Maiah go feeling high and mightly so he popped her bubble.

"You're only seven years old and only the smartest in your grade? I am the smartest out of the whole nation. I am viewed as the nation's treasure. I am almost ten and accomplished this feat try beating that." He sneered.

Maiah let out an overexaggerated expression of surprise and bit her cherry lips and thought; This pretty boy is three grades ahead of me good grief. He's acting like he won a Grammy but he's over here trying to beat me a small girl. Geez, he dumb. Maiah seemed to have forgotten that the boy has no idea of what personal boundaries are and will carelessly read her thoughts.

And that he did. When what Maiah thought about him registered in his mind, his pretty white face turned red. He was mad. When Maiah saw this all she could think of is "how cute" he looked, her thoughts angered him further and he finally exploded.

"I, Ambrosius am not cute nor am I to be rendered as dumb for putting an insolent child like you in her proper place!" Expecting Maiah to be hurt Ambrosius let out a triumphant expression on his previously expressionless face. But opposite of his expectations Maiah was not phased and shrugged her shoulders at his words.

"Dude, you need to chill it's just that no matter what kind of treasure you are in the end you're here getting mad at someone smaller than and weaker than you. How are you this hot yet so immature?"

Appalled at Maiah's audacity, Ambrosius wasn't able to refute what she said and kept silent.
