The Pros and Cons

Chapter one: Nimrods and Smart asses

     Maya sat at her usual seat in the cafeteria at the backest of the back. She had a knack for thinking and thought deeper while eating and since the cafeteria was no different from a market place she chose the seat at the far end, right beside the window yet whenever she was there she was no longer in the world . Maya stared at her lunch fried plantain and scrambled eggs her ex- best food and heaven knows the food made her wanna puke ever since she her father's suicide she'd hated the very smell and taste of food, she stopped eating because she appreciated the food and started eating because she didn't want to die at least not yet. Maya was winning the staring contest with her food so far until she felt cold liquid run from her hair down into her clothes and Oh God! "What the fuck?" She yelled as she jumped out of her seat and turned to see the idiot that just bathed her but what she turned to see was the whole cafeteria now looking at her waiting for her reaction and Louis holding the bottle of whatever drink of was, alcohol definitely, staring at her "You never cease to amaze me" she said angrily with emphasis on the you "funny isn't it ? Cause I was just about to say the same, how could you be so deaf and carried away?" Louis asked "last time I checked what I do with my ears and mind is none of your freaking business, you could have done something else to get my attention instead of being a wicked prat" Maya bit off angrily before storming out of the cafeteria leaving her lunch untouched. Louis was a bastard a full fledged one, everybody knows yet they love him because he was drop dead cute, stinking rich, a shit-hot basket ball player and what not but to Maya he was a bastard, nothing more, nothing less.........

               "Maya gimme two reasons why the world isn't perfect?" The practical life experience teacher asked  and Maya had an expression that said what-the-hell "Maya" Mrs Damilohun called " I dunno what you expect me to say I mean why the hell would the world be perfect?"  Maya said inwardly "the world isn't perfect because we aren't perfect and we don't want the world to be perfect" She said if the Nimrods were in ple class they would have laughed but ple class was for smart asses like Maya who was Mrs Damilohun favourite student and Louis who was her second favourite Oh yes! Louis the bastard " why do you think we don't want the world to be perfect?" Mrs Damilohun asked Louis " The fact that she has such an outdated mindset doesn't mean I'm dumb like her" Louis said and even the smart asses couldn't resist laughing "yeah, you're dumber" Maya retorted " then you're the dumbest" Louis replied " what is a fool like you even doing in this class?" Maya asked "enough, you two" Mrs Damiolohun bellowed with a frown on her face she said "see me in my office" and Maya thought can this day suck any harder....
