Prologue ~ Terri's POV

     “Theresa Anne McDonald! This time I swear I’m going to kill you! You don’t believe me?”

     I duck as Maya hurls a soft toy at my head.

     “There was no need to throw Tigger!” I reply indignantly.

     I must shut up soon. Argh. Life is not simple. Ever since I realised I was crushing on Maya I’ve been in a complete state. I’ve either been monosyllabic to the point where she asked if I was Terri’s evil twin or insane to the point where she asked if I could go and get Terri’s evil twin.

     “There was EVERY need!”

     I give her an innocent look. “What did I do?”

     She takes a deep breath to calm herself. “What did you do?” She repeats incredulously. Then she points to the wall.

     “You asked me about Guy Fawkes night.” I defend myself. “You know I’m better with pictures than words.”

     “I asked you what it was, not for a mural depicting every single event leading up to it!” She yells.

     I give her my puppy dog look. I very rarely stoop this low to get Maya to forgive me, but this time she looks mightily pissed. “I’m sorry Maya-pie, I didn’t mean to!”

     She glares, but the corners of her mouth are quivering. She’s about to crack.

     I fling myself at her feet. “Don’t hate me!” I wail melodramatically.

     That does it, she smirks, the smirk becomes a smile, which quickly turns to laughter.
