A loud "Ugh." could be heard from under a pile of blankets as Max raised her arms and stretched them above her head, finally she noticed that she was….topless. "Oh my dog." she says as she lifted the blanket up and noticed that not only was she topless, she was bottomless as well. Max began to freak out and tried to remember what happened last night but that just made her head hurt more.

"It's true guys, sometimes I go out and have tea or coffee with Kate." both the other girls smack their hands on their foreheads before Kate spoke again. "While I do agree with you, and it is nice to have that time with you, I think you need to get out and socialize with more people around campus. Get more friends, maybe a boyfriend." at this Max began to blush and hugged her arms tightly around herself. "Come on Max we just don't wanna see you all by yourself all the time. Please for us?"

Chloe suddenly says twenty minutes later when their last round of laughter finally dies down. "My drink kinda got spilled on me." max states and looks down in embarrassment. "Hey don't be upset, it happens. We got our own secret stash right here." Chloe said and with a flourish pulled a flask from within her leather jacket. Rachel, on the other hand, holds up a bottle wrapped in a paper bag that Max hadn't noticed the whole time they had been conversing. Both offer their beverage to the shy girl and she grabs the flask, not wanting to mess up this new friendship and gives the opening a sniff. "What's in here?" she asked nervously. Chloe smiles, reassuringly, "Just some whiskey. Give it a try it'll make you feel warm." Max took a little sip and ends up choking as the liquid starts burning its way down her throat. "Ugh." is all she can say and the other two begin to laugh. /span/p

She and Rachel were sitting at a little table inside the cafe located on campus and she had explained the whole confusing situation to an amused Rachel over breakfast.

She ducked her head, trying to make herself as small as possible, and sneak across campus. Since her escape the day before the brunette had been avoiding bumping into Chloe, but it seemed that everywhere she went the blue haired girl would be. It had seemed peculier at first, then mildly annoying but now it was downright irritating. She had first noticed Chloe when she was getting breakfast in the cafeteria. Chloe and Rachel had been sitting across the room when she had been in line and she quickly paid for her food and left. The next time she had seen the bluenette she was trying to find a book to help her do her english paper in the library when she spotted her sitting at one of the computers. Max didn't think she could keep this up forever but she was willing to try, however, it seemed that fate, and chloe, had different plans as Chloe suddenly looked up and made eye contact with Max. Max froze, the bluenette smiled and began to make her way towards her. Max's fight or flight instinct kicked in and she began sprinting across campus with the other girl not far behind. /span/p

Ha ha." Chloe laughed nervously much to the other girls surprise. Max looked away and tried to keep the blush that the other girls touch caused her. "I really need to talk to you. I've been trying to all day." Suddenly, seeing Chloe everywhere made much more sense. "You've been following me." it was a statement and it was Chloe's turn to blush; usually she didn't have to go through so much trouble to get a girl to talk to her. She nodded, "But how did you know where I was going to be?" she was confused, how could this person she barely knew know where she was going to be all day. If possible, Chloe looked even more embarrassed. "Yesterday, I was trying to think of some way to talk to you when your friends Kate and Victoria come up to me, tell me I did a great job getting you to socialize and that you usually get food at the cafeteria and go to the library to do research a lot. However, I didn't expect you to duck out as soon as you saw me." she gave Max an impressed look and continued. "I really need to talk to you. Please, have some coffee with me." Max looked around and noticed that people were beginning to look at them. She grabbed Chloe by her hand and pulled her to her dorm, slamming the door in the process. She motioned for Chloe to sit on her bed and stood across the room, waiting for the other girl to speak. /span/p

Max couldn't believe her ears, "You want to take ME out? What about rachel I thought that you two were an item?" Chloe looks up, surprised, "God no, she's my best friend in the world I don't think of her that way. Besides, why would I take her out when there's a pretty girl standing across the room from me." Max blushed she couldn't believe what she was hearing, Chloe thought she was pretty. THE Chloe Price she had always heard about or seen from afar, the girl she secretly thought of as beautiful in more than just an admiring way when she allowed herself the thought was looking at her in a way that made her feel giddy inside. Did she like girls? She had always suppressed the thought but her drunken antics with Chloe two days ago had allowed her to begin to let the thoughts flow. Max looked into Chloe's eyes and felt emboldened. "Alright Chloe, I'll go on a date with you." the taller girl cheered loudly and quickly crossed the room to Max and embraced her. "I'm so happy Maxie. I can't wait." Max was also very excited, by tonights end she was going to have her first date with, not only a girl, but Chloe goddamn Price. She couldn't wait to see where this went./span/p

A loud "Ugh." could be heard from under a pile of blankets as Max raised her arms and stretched them above her head, finally she noticed that she was….topless. "Oh my dog." she says as she lifted the blanket up and noticed that not only was she topless, she was bottomless as well.

"It's true guys, sometimes I go out and have tea or coffee with Kate." both the other girls smack their hands on their foreheads before Kate spoke again. "While I do agree with you, and it is nice to have that time with you, I think you need to get out and socialize with more people around campus.

Chloe suddenly says twenty minutes later when their last round of laughter finally dies down. "My drink kinda got spilled on me." max states and looks down in embarrassment. "Hey don't be upset, it happens. We got our own secret stash right here." Chloe said and with a flourish pulled a flask from within her leather jacket. Rachel, on the other hand, holds up a bottle wrapped in a paper bag that Max hadn't noticed the whole time they had been conversing. Both offer their beverage to the shy girl and she grabs the flask, not wanting to mess up this new friendship and gives the opening a sniff. "What's in here?" she asked nervously. Chloe smiles, reassuringly, "Just some whiskey. Give it a try it'll make you feel warm." Max took a little sip and ends up choking as the liquid starts burning its way down her throat. "Ugh." is all she can say and the other two begin to laugh. /span/p

She and Rachel were sitting at a little table inside the cafe located on campus and she had explained the whole confusing situation to an amused Rachel over breakfast.

She ducked her head, trying to make herself as small as possible, and sneak across campus. Since her escape the day before the brunette had been avoiding bumping into Chloe, but it seemed that everywhere she went the blue haired girl would be. It had seemed peculier at first, then mildly annoying but now it was downright irritating. She had first noticed Chloe when she was getting breakfast in the cafeteria. Chloe and Rachel had been sitting across the room when she had been in line and she quickly paid for her food and left. The next time she had seen the bluenette she was trying to find a book to help her do her english paper in the library when she spotted her sitting at one of the computers. Max didn't think she could keep this up forever but she was willing to try, however, it seemed that fate, and chloe, had different plans as Chloe suddenly looked up and made eye contact with Max. Max froze, the bluenette smiled and began to make her way towards her. Max's fight or flight instinct kicked in and she began sprinting across campus with the other girl not far behind. /span/p

Ha ha." Chloe laughed nervously much to the other girls surprise. Max looked away and tried to keep the blush that the other girls touch caused her. "I really need to talk to you. I've been trying to all day." Suddenly, seeing Chloe everywhere made much more sense. "You've been following me." it was a statement and it was Chloe's turn to blush; usually she didn't have to go through so much trouble to get a girl to talk to her. She nodded, "But how did you know where I was going to be?" she was confused, how could this person she barely knew know where she was going to be all day. If possible, Chloe looked even more embarrassed. "Yesterday, I was trying to think of some way to talk to you when your friends Kate and Victoria come up to me, tell me I did a great job getting you to socialize and that you usually get food at the cafeteria and go to the library to do research a lot. However, I didn't expect you to duck out as soon as you saw me." she gave Max an impressed look and continued. "I really need to talk to you. Please, have some coffee with me." Max looked around and noticed that people were beginning to look at them. She grabbed Chloe by her hand and pulled her to her dorm, slamming the door in the process. She motioned for Chloe to sit on her bed and stood across the room, waiting for the other girl to speak. /span/p

Max couldn't believe her ears, "You want to take ME out? What about rachel I thought that you two were an item?" Chloe looks up, surprised, "God no, she's my best friend in the world I don't think of her that way. Besides, why would I take her out when there's a pretty girl standing across the room from me." Max blushed she couldn't believe what she was hearing, Chloe thought she was pretty. THE Chloe Price she had always heard about or seen from afar, the girl she secretly thought of as beautiful in more than just an admiring way when she allowed herself the thought was looking at her in a way that made her feel giddy inside. Did she like girls? She had always suppressed the thought but her drunken antics with Chloe two days ago had allowed her to begin to let the thoughts flow. Max looked into Chloe's eyes and felt emboldened. "Alright Chloe, I'll go on a date with you." the taller girl cheered loudly and quickly crossed the room to Max and embraced her. "I'm so happy Maxie. I can't wait." Max was also very excited, by tonights end she was going to have her first date with, not only a girl, but Chloe goddamn Price. She couldn't wait to see where this went./span/p
