Chapter 1
Alec sat on the counter at Jam Pony watching people come and go. He was waiting for one particular person to come in. For the last couple of days Max had been distant and snapped at him far less than normal. Alec knew something was bothering her, but he didn't know what. He didn't think that it was Logan because Max hadn't been with Logan like that for some time. Alec had been oddly proud of Max for finally jettisoning Logan out of her romantic life.
"Don't you have anything better to do Hot Boy?" OC asked standing next to him.
"Slow day." Alec responded.
"She's not going be back for at least five minutes." OC knew who Alec was looking for.
"What? Who?" Alec said stunned by OC's statement.
"Max, you know the girl you've been waiting for."
Alec didn't say anything. OC was one of the most perceptive ordinaries that he had ever met so lying wouldn't do him any good.
"It would make everybody's life a lot easier if you just told her how you really felt." OC said as if it were a comment about the weather.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Alec said quickly.
"Come on Hot Boy just admit that you love Max."
"Where did you get that idea?" Alec asked trying to sound causal. At times he had taught about what it would be like if he and Max were more than friends, but he always dismissed the idea, the logical part of his brain telling him that he didn't want to lose his friend or get his ass beat for trying.
"Well let's see you are always worried about her when she goes off on a mission for Logan or when she's quiet, like the past couple of days." OC said.
"Any good friend would do that." Alec countered.
"True but what about when she broke up with Logan you were awfully happy."
"That's because we don't belong in long term relationships with ordinaries. No offense." Alec said.
"None taken, so you mean to tell me that if some transgenic walked in here and swept Max off of her feet you would be happy for them." OC wasn't buying it.
"Not gonna happen." Alec said before he could think
"Why not?" OC asked trying not to laugh.
"It's just unlikely that's all." Alec tried to cover for himself.
"Mmmmhhhmmm." OC gave him one of her knowing looks.
Before Alec could say something back Max came in. As always when she came into a room Alec was struck by just how beautiful she was. His eyes wondered over her quickly checking for any type of wound, he had gotten into the habit of doing that after she was away from him for any period of time. She still had a distant look in her eyes, but she looked less depressed than before.
"Hey Boo good run?" OC asked as Max came over.
"Is there any such thing?" Max asked with a small smile. Alec was relieved to see Max acting somewhat like herself again.
"Once Sketchy gets back you guys want to head over to Crash, Normal said we could take off." Alec said.
"I'm in." OC told him.
"Yeah me to, I'm just gonna run to my locker." Max said moving away from the counter.
Max had just made it to her locker when a tall blonde man came in.
