Chapter 1 – Untitled
Max lay in bed pretending she was asleep so she didn't have to go to school today but they wouldn't leave her alone! They'd call her continuingly then she'd hear foot steps coming up stairs so she'd pretend she was getting up. Then she herd Lucy calling her, she gave in and got out of her nice warm comfy bed.
"Max…Get up!" Lucy called up the stairs to a half-awake Max. Lucy didn't hear anything so started to climb up to physically get Max out of bed, then she herd the shuffling of feet and knew Max up so she walked back down the couple of stairs she'd climbed. Max stood up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes and went to get ready for school, she'd have to be fast if she wanted to get there on time.
Max walked down the stairs slowly, Jack walked over to her and kissed her head,
"Nice to see you up flower" he said, Max just smiled at him and went to get some toast that was on a plate in the middle of the dinning table.
"Where's mum and Lucy?" she asked her mouth half full,
"They've gone to find an apartment for Lucy, some where near, that's suitable. When are you planning on getting you're scrawny butt to school miss?" he asked raising his eyebrow slightly.
"Daddy? Do you not want me to have a good breakfast before I go?" she said angelically which was really unlike Max.
"Not if it means you'll be late" he said mimicking her voice, "Do you want me to take you?"
"Phu-lease I'm fifteen I can take my self…but the bus has already been…so pleas can you take me?" she asked again stuffing her mouth with more toast, and sipping orange juice.
"Come on then!" he said and she jumped she wasn't expecting him to say yes she'd thought she'd have to ask more than once but obviously not.
At school
Alec, sketchy and Cindy were stood at her locker waiting for her. Cindy looked really pissed off and she could guess why. Cindy walk up to her and hugged her she hugged her back.
"Boo where you bin I been stuck with these idiots all morning waiting for you to show…but you didn't!" she yelled just under her loudest voice.
"Cin…calm down! I over slept I won't do it again." Max said looking over to where Alec and Sketch were stood and started walking over to them or so Alec thought she was really just going to get some books out her locker.
"Hey Maxie" Alec said Max just looked at him as if to say 'why the hell are you talking to me'
"What did you just call me?" she said angrily,
"Maxie…why don't you like it?" he asked sarcastically. She continued to look at him and then said,
"Say it again and find out!" then she shoved him out of the way so she could get in her locker. He moved quickly so he wouldn't loose his balance.
"Hey sketch don't annoy Max it's that time of month…" he whispered. She couldn't quite hear what he'd said but she herd her name then sketchy like an idiot said,
"What time of month?" he said it really loud. As soon as he'd said it Alec started to walk off fast and ran after him with her big science book. Cindy came to stand next to sketchy watching max chase Alec around like they were 11 again.
"Why have they always been like that?" sketchy asked Cindy remembering the same thing. Cindy shook her head,
"I dunno' boo but you can see they like each other but they can't…tragic. Anyways we gotta get to class!" she grabbed sketchy and dragged him to class.
Okay is it worth continuing? Review please? P.S: I changed the age when Cindy and sketchy are thinking to 11 for future plans….hehe.
