Now is the climax to the story

That gives the demons and angels purpose

They fly around while we are walking

And mold our emotions just to please them

The brunette smiled. She rolled over and off the bed, scrunching up the already messy sheets. Of course, Chloe was lying down, for her daily wake and bake. She spots Max and smirks.

"Hey, Maxi-Pad. You're finally up?"

Said girl cringed at the nickname.

"Yeah, apparently. Last night was fun," Max laughed, hoping to divert the conversation from further "Maxi-Pads". Of course, she was referring to the swimming pool. They had swam together, in nothing more than their underwear. But the real thrill was when they were almost spotted by Chloe's stepfather, the security chief of Blackwell Academy. The two had driven away, wide-eyed, giggling, and pumped full of adrenaline. Max felt a sudden chill. She looked down, and saw that she was still in her underwear. She reached for her clothes, only to find them soaked and stinking of chlorine.

"You can try Rachel's clothes. They should fit you," suggested Chloe. An uncomfortable silence hung in the air. They knew, deep down, what had happened to her.

"They're not quite my style," Max responded.

"You need to take risks! For example, Max, I dare you to kiss me!" Chloe smiled impishly.

Max paused. It wasn't that she didn't want to. Just the opposite, really. She glanced at Chloe's tousled hair. How she wished to run her fingers through it. And those lips. God, she wanted to-

"Max? Kiss me or nah?" Chloe urged.

"I-I can't do that," the photographer whispered, embarrassed. I'll look overeager.

"Haha, admit it! You obviously made out with me then used your rewind powers!" Chloe grinned wider, though she looked a bit disappointed.

Max mentally kicked herself. She could have kissed her best friend. But I want our first kiss to be real. Genuine. No rewinding, she tried to comfort herself. But she just couldn't stop glancing at Chloe.

A/N: Yes, I know it's short. I did it in an hour at school, so you can't really blame me. :P Next chapters will be longer.
