The bell rings, Max walks down the hall to his locker, but before he can pick up the lock he feels someone playing with his hair, he turns around thinking it was Liz "Liz?" he asks with a grin on his face. "Tess! What are you doing here?" he asks as his smile quickly fades.
"Can't I talk you before I go home?''
"No."
"Why not?"
"You know why, I know you said we were just friends, but I think you still want something more than friends and ...", Max's voice starts to get a little softer as Tess' hand begins to rub his cheek.
"You know we belong together Max." Tess says still rubbing his cheek.
"No, I love Liz, I'll do anything to be with her and I'm sorry, but that is just the way I feel and..." Tess kisses him before he can finish what he was saying. He pulls himself back, "Tess you know we shouldn't do this, I love..." she kisses him again, and this time he can't pull back, she is holding him to tight to where he can't get away.

"Max told me there was nothing going on between him and Tess, and I trust him Maria." Liz tells Maria.
"Liz, how do you know you can even trust a Czechoslavakian. I still think he is hiding something from you, I mean do you really think he would tell you if he was cheating on you with her?" Maria asked as they turned the corner.
"Yes, Maria he would tell me, but there is nothing going on between Tess and..." her voice stops when she sees Max kissing Tess in front of his locker. "Max!?"
"Liz it's not what you think!" Max says.
"It sure looks like that to me Max. You said there was nothing going on between you and Tess."
"Well, he lied." Tess says to Liz with a grin on her face, but before she could say another word Liz punches her.
"Liz, what are you doing!?" Max asks her, she gets ready to hit him when Michael steps in the way, and Liz doesn't see Michael and hits him, and he falls to the floor.
"Damn woman what got into you!? It wasn't me was it!?" Michael asks while his eye puffs up and turns red.
"No it's me." Max tells Michael.
"She was upset because we came around the corner and saw...Max kissing Tess." Maria frantically explains to Michael as she tries to help him off of the floor.
"Well she had no reason to hit ME!!"
"I wasn't trying to hit you Michael, I was trying to hit Max and you got in the way. I'm so sorry Michael." Liz tries to explain. "You see Max told me that there was nothing going on between him and Tess and I believed him and when Maria and I came around the corner and saw them kissing I got really upset. Do you think you could forgive me?"
"Yeah, I think I could do that." Michael says and Liz gives him a hug.

"Alex, could you drive me home? I can't find Max and Michael anywhere." Isabel asks as Alex gets into the car.
"Sure." Alex replies.
"The jeep is here, but I can't find them anywhere. I sure hope Michael hasn't done anything stupid like he did yesterday."
"What did he do yesterday?" Alex asks while he starts the car.
"He tried to act all macho when Liz and Maria walked by and he slammed his finger in his locker. He didn't realize he did until Liz asked 'Michael what is your finger doing in your locker while you are trying to shut it?' it was really funny, you just had to be there." they both start to laugh.
"Is he okay, or does he need to visit the embarrassment counselor?" Alex asked.
"He should be fine...after the visit."

"I'm really sorry Michael. I didn't mean to hit you." Liz says frantically.
"Liz I'm fine I just..."
"So you meant to hit me!?" Max says cutting off Michael and getting very angry now.
"YES! I was going to hit you and then Michael got in the way and I hit him, and I am really sorry Michael."
"Hey did everyone forget about me down here?" Tess asks as the entire side of her face turns into a bruise.
"YES!!" everyone but Max says.
"No, lets get out of here before Liz decides she wants to hit me again and not miss because I don't think Michael is going to het in the way again." Max tells Tess as they start walking off together.

"Do you think Liz is going to be okay?" Tess asks Ma.
"I don't know and right now, I really just don't care."
"But before you said you would do anything to be with her, and now. Well what is going on now? I really confused and you're making no sense, I'm sorry but you really need to make up your mind. My head can't handle all of this confusion."
"Do you think I like this!?"
"NO!! It's just, oh never mind Max, we'll talk tomorrow." and she leaves the building.
