Arcadia Bay
September 2013,

Somewhere in the school, a girl with dark red hair and blue eyes paced, pensive and thoughtful.

Maxine Caulfield is a naturally curious person, a little too nosy by most people. It is in her nature since her childhood, wanting to know the world by staying in the background, it's something she loved. Then she met her best friend Chloe Price and things have changed a bit, she wanted to take part in the adventure.

Then, her parents announced that they were going to live in Seattle for work. Max had always dreamed of going to Seattle, sadly the moment was badly chosen as her best friend had just lost her father, who was a second father to Max. When leaving, the girls were on bad terms because of the move of Caulfield, which led to five years of silence between them, until Max comes studied in Blackwell. If it was not for Rachel, the two girls were always on bad terms but after being locked in a closet for hours by the said Rachel, Chloe & Max were able to return to their former friendship. A little awkward, but it is better than ignorance.

Max was very confused about Rachel, she wondered why she was concerned with them. Not only that, but the smiling blonde is a great mystery, so many rumors about her, good and bad, it's hard to know what she has in mind.

There are a few weeks, Rachel Amber officially declared she is a lesbian, or rather she has shown a make-out with a girl in the middle of the school, a some Taylor. By that, Max was slightly intrigued. Rachel Amber is the strangest person she's ever met. Incredibly beautiful and so persuasive, Rachel Amber is a lesbian.

Of course, Max had noticed the appreciative glances that Rachel seemed to give to most girls, but she had seen her hanging out with several boys.

Chloe told her it was in the character of Rachel and that there was not to worry, but Rachel loving girls.

Max wonders if Rachel Amber loved girls, so ... It was just by curiosity, by simple curiosity, and no not vital information that eats you up at night and keep you awake, which led Max to Amber's home this Friday night ... even though Rachel has a dorm room in Blackwell, her house offered a more freedom.

Rachel, Chloe & Max have already spent many night in it, it's amazing what a large pool could be tempting to zoning.

She did not even remember to get there but when the door opened, Max thought she had come to the door, and Rachel Amber watching as always as perfect.

The girl with red hair could see the surprise on the face of Rachel. Max noted that she had this effect on Rachel, that she did not understand as she is so much more her but she never said, it is interesting to see a different look that confident and fun look on Rachel.

"Max? Hey, what are you doing here?" the blonde asked, giving her a gentle smile.

Without answering, Max went to Rachel, having been invited, and turned to face the blonde. Rachel smiled at the audacity of her friend, proud of herself as she and Chloe had a good bad influence on the redhead. Max has changed a lot since she spent the summer at Chloe, after their unexpected meeting at her visiting of Blackwell Academy, several months earlier.

The most popular girl of Blackwell takes a moment to admire the new Max Caulfield, her new red hair is due to the influence of Chloe and her famous puppy eyes, Rachel had smiled at how Max could not resist the demands of the punk at the blue hair, she had finally adopted the red color of autumn leaves, the favorite season of Max.

There is also her dress, a mixture of Rachel & Chloe. Max wears a white top (up to the top of her thighs) with a black heart bleeding slightly, under her new black jacket with a few pine above, a pair of dark blue jeans with bootcut legs, and vintage leather studded belt and black knee high boots with studded back. So a black diamonds snake ring, a welcome gift from Dana.

"How did you know?" Max just asked, cutting the thoughts of the beautiful blonde.
"Know what?" Rachel was confused, the redhead was rarely so direct.
"How did you know that you were into girls?" she ends abruptly.

Rachel was really surprised by her question, she asked her to sit in the living room and Max obeys, keeping her eyes on Rachel.

"To tell you the truth, I did not feel much for the guys I date. Then I noticed some girls and I threw myself into the water" Rachel licked her lips nervously.
"Yes, but how could you be sure?" Max asked, slightly impatient.
"You can never know for sure, but I had the confirmation after kissing a girl. I felt things I had not felt with the guys" Rachel shrugged.
"How was it" Max nervously fingered her hands "to kiss a girl?"

Rachel curiously raised an eyebrow, then smiled inwardly. Are finally, Max have mixed feelings into girls? She had been patient in the moment in which Maxine Caulfield ask this question, Chloe too but as she had asked her to let her handle this, Chloe can be so impatient and abrupt, which is not really a failure in itself.

"Well, it made me feel things no man had ever made me feel" Rachel paused for a moment before smiling, taking a playful tone "do you want me to show you?"

Now she took great pleasure in watching the shocked reaction of Max, she would have gladly taken a picture if she had her phone on her. No chance. The redhead was surprised by the question. Did she had heard? Rachel wanted to kiss her? Was she curious enough to kiss Rachel Amber, queen of Arcadia?

It must say that Rachel is pretty hot in her outfit, a black tanks-styles for less, with lace top to above the bust, a black rose false hang on the left side and a long white pearl necklace. So a slashed mesh leggings with several scratches on her thighs and heeled boots. Really hot!

Max has a lot of questions about her sexuality, she discovered her attraction on her best friend with blue hair, not only physical but also emotional. This is not the first girl that Max was attracted, she had a crush on her friend Kate and Dana also, see a girl in Seattle, Kristen. The redhead had always thought to be straight, and she is always attracted to boys, as Trevor and Justin. She does not know if she should choose, to paraphrase Chloe: "Why make a choice? stop asking you questions and go".

Finally, Max pulled herself together and gives her answer.

"No, I do not prefer" she has just said "thank you but I'll go. See you tomorrow."

With these words, Maxine Caulfield quickly went out by the door without looking back. Rachel sighed, she was a bit disappointed by the rejection of Max to a challenge.

This is not serious, there will be other opportunities.
