10-years later Maya King was in 5th grade at Red River School. The children in school heard about Maya’s parents practicing witchcraft. The town rumors caused Maya to be ridiculed. The children were endlessly cruel to her. Poked her in the back with sharp pencils, spat in her face, pulled her long black hair called it a witch’s mop. Even the teachers treated her like an outcast. Maya’s only defense was to retreat to a quiet place during school.
Her looks were simple but different from other children. She had wavy coal black hair that wasn’t kept neat just loosely in a ponytail. Her deep-set eyes matched her hair. Her pale skin was like a ghost. Teachers found her personality boring. Maya’s academics were average just barely passing any subject. Her comfort zone was in the back of the class avoiding everyone. A teacher called on her to read aloud from a textbook. Maya remembers stuttering over simple words. With every word, every stumble her face felt hotter. Felt as if it was going to burst. She could hear everyone whispering around her and see their eyes fixed on her stupidity. Students in the class started to giggle and exchange looks with each other. Maya noticed the teachers who made her stand and read did it out of pure spite.
