Once they got home, Papa yelled, “Gulnara!”“Why are you here? What has happened Aibek?” Mama questioned.” Is this how you raise your daughter! Is this what you teach her? Lessons to be a toy for American boys!” Papa shouted. The car was filled with an awkward silence.” The back of his neck was red,” she described.

Maya was scared for her life, she came to the car. The next event in the story was that Maya waiting for the activity bus when Daniel picked her up and started playing with her. Everything was mild until something really bad happened. He was really mad since he didn’t expect this from Nurzhan.

Maya’s dad was still mad even after she translated differently. Maya’s father came to the office and Maya translated what Ms.Johnson was saying, but she changed some of the words so Nurzhan wouldn’t be in big trouble. Maya called and she told Papa that Nurzhan was involved in a fight. Maya knew her dad would be furious, so she developed a plan. When she heard this she was shocked.” I have to talk to your father about this matter,” Ms.Johnson said. When she got there Ms.Johnson told her that her brother had gotten into a fight with Ossie. Maya didn’t know why she was being called to the office, she was scared. Maya was in class when she got a sudden phone call, it was to the office. In the beginning, Maya says that she wants to go to the dance but her parents “don’t like the idea of having after school activities/events.” Mama says that she could be using that time to be doing homework or studying.
