This is the frist story I have posted in a long time. So please R&R.

Max Tate

"Hey Max!" Micheal said

"Hey! How's it going!" I asked with a smile on my face

"Not so well. But you won't understand," he said

There it is again. All they see when they look at me is a hyper, bubbley dumb blond. I mean that's all they see. That's not me at all. I may seem happy and sugar high all the time, but that doesn't mean that I'm always like that.

I can be sad and I can frown. And just because I'm blond doesn't mean that I'm dumb. I'm really as smart as the Cheif. But I don't show it. Being blonde doesn't make me dumb. Not all blonds are dumb. I hate when people judge me like that.

"Try me," I say.

"Don't worry about it. Its nothing, just a small problem," he says.

There they go again. They hide their problems from me. They think I'm far to innocent to hear about their problems. Hey not even I can smile all the time. Come on, if they were really my true friends then they can trust that I can help them out with their own problems even if they don't help with mine. They should see right thourgh me.

They say best friends know the real you. Your true friends, they know everything about you. If that's ture then I don't have any true friends. Because all of my friends think that I'm way to happy all the time. But there is one person who is close. But even he has a long way to go. Rei, the closest any person can get to being perfect. But even he, my so called 'best friend next to Tyson' isn't all that close.

"Whatever you say Mikey!" I say sounding too happy.

After years of work on my fake happy voice, anyone can believe me. I mean everyone, my mom, my dad and even the great Kai. And they say he can read anyone with his eyes. After all these years acting happy and smiling all the time comes second to breathing. No need to think about it. No need to give me a few seconds for it to work. It just happens without a second thought.

I can fool anyone with this fake happy voice and smile of mine.

Should that be something I'm proud of?

Maybe I should stop acting like this and people won't misread me so much. But after all of this time everyone might think that I have finally lost it. I've dug myself into deep, I'll need help to get out of this hole.

It will take some time and I hope people will change the way they see me.

A/N: Please R&R. Thank you.
