Vivian gave her a few minutes to cool off before she went and knocked on the door. She sat on the end of Maya’s now cockroach-free bed and Maya looked at her with hurt in her eyes. She was feeling so down with what just happened and she could not believe what her mother did to her.
She was terrified that her friends and schoolmates would see the TikTok and see her messy room, and she was devastated that her mom could have played such a trick on her. Vivian felt terrible, but she stood by her actions. She needed to explain to Maya why she had done what she had done.
