Chapter One—The Offer
June 2010
Max was sitting at the table, eating her lunch. Although she was sitting with her friends, she was not talking, only half-listening to the gossip that she, honestly, didn't give a crap about. The other half of her attention was to the last chapter of the book she had been reading for so long and had put so many hours into. Suddenly her friends go silent. She did not care, but when Allie elbowed her in the ribs, she looked up to see Allie pointing behind her.
Max turns to see what the sudden silence was caused by and a stunning boy with a single purple rose was standing behind her. She recognized the rose, but realized that the flower was not the issue at hand.
"Nick…what are you doing?" Max asks in a whisper.
"Doing what I should have done a long time ago." The brilliant, tall, dark, and handsome young man responded. "I have a very important question for you."
Max nervously shifts in her seat, uncomfortable with everyone around her staring. She had not realized, but the entire lunch room had gone silent during the initial exchange. All eyes were on the two of them. She did not like it one bit.
Nick, with that beautiful smile started speaking again. "Max. Will you go out with me?"
Okay, I know that some of you are upset with me because I haven't updated my other fanfiction, but I think I outgrew it. It was a little too fluffy, and a little too perfect to be true. This story is, I feel, more realistic, and will touch a lot more people. If I do have time, I will try to save my other story, and maybe go in and fix all of my grammar, but for now, I hope you enjoy my new story.
A lot has changed since I last updated. I have matured, mentally, and artistically. I hope you will gain from my story.
