Nowadays, whenever people see Liam, they always ask him about Maya. It's as if they are glued together.
He gave Henry Reid a once-over and replied dismissively, "I don't know."
He knew very well that she wasn't doing well, he knew she was in the hospital, yet he chose to lie. He just didn't want Maya to have a good time; he didn't want her to have any beautiful memories on this day. Wasn't she trying to act pitiful? Well, then let her pretend all she wants.
In Liam's eyes, Maya wasn't worth anyone being kind to her, not worth any sympathy. That innocent little face of hers was all an act, fooling everyone.
"Maya isn't coming back with you by car! It's really strange, her phone has been unreachable all day." Henry looked concerned, as if there had never been any unpleasantness between him and Maya.
It was as if just a while ago, the two hadn't argued at the school gate, as if Maya hadn't shown him a sour face and said hurtful things.
