A/N Note that this follows Max not a specific VGHS character however they will make appearances in the story.

Chapter 1

I'm Maxwell or as I go by, Max, and I'm not really the best at FPS or first person shooters like almost every one else at this school. But I am really good at a bunch of other video games is probably how I got enrolled at Video Game High School in the first place. I haven't been at VGHS for very long this is my second month and I'm already rank 421 which is still beginner but it's still not that bad.

It's better than most including my best friend that got enrolled with me: Taylor. I also have a bit of a crush on her but I don't think she knows that quite yet. Anyway she's better at FPS then I am. She's tried to help me but it doesn't work out very well. When it comes to FPS I stink everything else…I'm pretty darn good.

We were sitting at a table in the lunchroom. Taylor's blonde hair was pulled into a ponytail. "Are you sure?" She asked. "I could really help you get better."

"Yes Taylor I'm sure." I said. "You and I both know when it comes to FPS I'm helpless."

"Not if you attend FPS 101 with me." she said.

"I suppose that's true."

"Come on Max, please I want to play Field of Fire with you."

Field of Fire was the biggest FPS game to the day. Every one plays it except for me and every one bad at FPS games.

"Please Max." She said making her blue eyes big. She's done this before with her eyes she does it cause she knows I can't say no when she does.

"Please Taylor don't do this." She started to quiver her bottom lip.

"Not the lip."

I couldn't stand to see her like this anymore. "Ugh.. Fine I'll go to FPS 101 with you."

She stopped all together. "Yay!" she cheered. "Thanks Max!" she through her arms around me in a hug.

I could feel my face turning red. She never has hugged me before. "Uh.. Sure no problem."

She smiled. "Why is your face turning red?"

"No reason." I said quickly.

The bell rang. "Well there's the bell." Taylor said. "Shall we get going?"

I was still recovering from the shock of her hug. "uh.. Yeah. Let's go."

We walked down the hall and into the classroom we picked our seats next to each other.. the teacher welcomed each student as they walked in. There was a boy and a girl at the front of the class room.

The bell rang again. "Hello students" the teacher said. "My name is Ace, and welcome to FPS 101. Here you will learn anything and everything that has to do with First Person Shooter games. The ones that will be helping us are my TA's Jenny Matrix and Brain Doheny."

"Hi there," the girl said. " I'm Jenny Matrix and as you may or may not know. Brain and I are on VGHS' JV team. We are the best of the best in VGHS. Today, you will learn - or practice - the basics of FPS and Field of Fire."

"Thank you Jenny." Ace said. " Brian will you please show us The Pit?"

"Of course." the boy said. "Really it's easy. Just watch." he sat down in the seat in front of a monitor.

I was really bored so I started doodling in my note book a picture of me and Taylor together. Holding hands and staring into each others eyes.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked over and it was Taylor. "What are you drawing?" she whispered.

"Nothing," I whispered back. I closed my notebook.

"Mr. Ross, Ms. Chambers." Ace said. "Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class."

I gulped. "No Sir." I said.

"No sir," Taylor said.

He looked between us. "Very well"

The Bell rang. "That's class it's hard to believe how fast goes by. Enjoy your free time and see you tomorrow. "

I got out of my seat and started walking down the hall.

"Max!" someone called I turned around. It was Taylor. I stopped and she came up to me.

"So what do you think?" she asked.

"I don't know I sort of spaced out and…"

"Started doodling?" she smiled.

"Uh…yeah," I said embarrassed. "Sorry I know how much you want to play Field of Fire with me."

"It's okay," she said. "But I want to know something Max."

"What's that?"

"What were you doodling?"

"Don't worry about it." I said.

"You know that now I'm going to worry about it right?"

"I might show it to you someday."

"When?"

I bit my lip. " I can't say"

"Can't or won't."

"You'd think it'd be weird and kinda freaky."

"Try me."

"Put it simply. I'd show you if we were…"

"We were what?"

I didn't say anything I just looked down.

"Ugh! Fine don't tell me" she stormed off.

"More than friends" I said quietly.

…

I was sitting in my dorm sitting on the couch. It had been an hour or so since I've talked to Taylor. I'm pretty sure she was still mad. But I just had to know if she was or not. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and slid it open and sent her a quick text.

Hey Taylor. Are you still mad?

Less than thirty seconds later my phone buzzed.

No. Max I'm not.

…

Look Taylor I'm sorry about earlier it's just…

…

Just what?

…

If you knew what I doodled. You would think different of me in so many ways.

…

Max, we're best friends nothing could change that, not even some weird doodle that I don't even know what it's of.

"It's of her isn't it?" said a voice behind me. I jumped and whirled around. It was my roommate Chris. He had jet black hair and the darkest green eyes anyone has really ever seen.

"You scared me."

"I can tell that. Now that doodle it's of her isn't it?"

I lowered my head and pulled the doodle out of my notebook.

Chris took it. "Yeah, I can see why you'd want to hide it from her."

My Phone buzzed. Max?

Sorry, Chris just got back to the dorm.

…

Oh, okay… Anyway do you understand?

…

I think so yeah.

…

Good, say want to hang out later and maybe play some Kart Racing 7?

I loved Kart Racing 7! It was the best Kart Racing game yet.

…

Sure, I'd love to…

…

How about 8 o' clock?

…

Sounds great, See you later! :)

…

See you later! :)

Hope you enjoyed it so far. Please feel free to leave a review to make this story more enjoyable. I have big plans for this story it won't just be complications going on between Max and Taylor.
