Maya had been hoping that over the course of her one month of school, things might have started to look up. Apparently, she was wrong. Upon returning home in June, she had discovered, to her horror, that after being married for approximately six months, her father and brand new stepmother, were expecting a child. Three months pregnant. Maya didn't know what she was supposed to feel, nor what she was supposed to say, but either way she was not happy about any of this. She had only recently accepted the fact that her daddy had gotten remarried, and now she was expected to deal with all of this too? Sighing, Maya pulled her hair into a plait reminiscent of the one seen in Frozen and walked out of the dorm and down to the lakefront. It was not exactly cold, but its wasn't a hot day either and so she developed light goosebumps on her legs when she sat in the slightly damp grass. It hadn't been raining, but condensation from the morning had gathered around and as she was sitting by the lake, it made sense for there to be some dew. Well she thought, I don't have to worry about any of that here, I can just worry about school.
Standing up and pulling her vest tighter, Maya dusted off her skirt and walked closer to the waters edge. She had heard a rumour that there was a giant creature in there. She hoped not because that would be scary, she also hoped that if it was in there it wouldn't mind her tossing rocks in. She'd never really tried to skip stones before, but it could be fun. Smiling to herself as she leaned down to pick up and rock, Maya drew back her hand and tossed the rock into the lake. Maya then frowned when the rock simply plopped into the water and wasn't heard from again. Clearly she had done it wrong, but she didn't really know how. She thought back to those times the kids from the tribes used to do it. What had they done? Flicked a flat stone along the surface of the water. Well, first thing first, her rock had been much too round. She would need to find another one. After a few moments, she succeeded and found a flatter stone, though it was still quite round. She twisted it and turned it every which way, trying to imagine it across the water. She shrugged and drew her arm back once more. Once again the rock simply sunk below the surface. She frowned, what was she doing wrong?
