Maya and Liam's Changing Relationship

In the story, two childhood friends, Maya and Liam, navigate their changing relationship as they enter high school. Maya has always been the more outgoing of the two, thriving in social settings, while Liam prefers to keep to himself, finding comfort in his hobbies. Recently, their paths have begun to diverge: Maya has joined the drama club, while Liam spends his time engrossed in his video games. As they discuss their experiences, tensions arise.

Maya: I feel like we’re growing apart. You hardly come to any of my rehearsals anymore!

Liam: It’s not that I don’t want to support you. I just can’t relate to your new interests.

Maya: I get it, but I wish you’d try to understand where I’m coming from.

Liam: And I wish you’d understand that I’m just not into the same things you are.

Maya: Maybe we can find some common ground?
