Reviews
Boris Yeltsin: Thanks :)
Marina Ka-Fai: Thanks, I don't think so, there are hints way back in even episode 1 that he was the villain, so they had that planned right from the very start.
dat-gal: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Wolfgirl2013: Thanks :)
Now onto the story.

Chapter 2
Max smiled to herself as she and Warren exited the main building of Blackwell, stepping out into the main campus. Max took a moment to savour the air, not to warm, not to cold, just perfect. Warren also smiled, noting her expression and squeezed her hand gently.
"Well, what do you wanna do?" He asked casually.
Max shrugged. "I don't know, let's just, walk for now, maybe sit down somewhere."
Warren nodded and together they made their way down the steps, as they walked they occasionally made small talk together and greeted other students who passed them.
"So, how was class?" Warren asked.
Max smiled and replied. "Great, I...I spoke to Mr. Jefferson about those photos I sent him, he checked them and also gave me some tips on how to get better shots with my camera."
Warren grinned. "Cool."
Max nodded and then added. "What about you, I heard Ms. Grant say there was a science test today?"
Warren laughed and replied at once. "Yeah, well, aced it of course."
"I wouldn't expect anything less."
They both smiled as they stopped and sat under one of the trees, enjoying each other's company and the scenery.
They sat in silence for a while; both reflecting on how, lately, there hadn't been much drama for once.
"It's been relaxed day for a change." Warren commented, bringing it up.
Max nodded in agreement. "Yeah, tell me about it."
They both smiled and said hello to Stella as she passed, Stella returned their greeting smiling. They remained seated watched the other students pass by and basically enjoying the sights. They were once more wrapped in a comfortable silence.
This time Max was the one to break it. "This is nice, just...hope nothing goes wrong. I'd like this to last, for a long time."
"Yeah, we all would, but seriously Max, shouldn't say things like that." Warren told her.
She nodded, laughing slightly. "Good point, don't wanna jinx it."
Another pause; Max bit her lip, pondering for a moment.
"Well, I wanna at least, remember this moment, forever." She said reaching into her bag.
Warren's smile widened as Max took her camera out of her bag. He leaned in closer, the two of them had an arm around the other. Max held the camera out at arms length, making sure to get both of them in shot before taking the selfie. Once done she took the developed photo and Warren smirked.
"Can't wait to see it once it's all ready."
Max laughed. "I'll be sure you're the first one."
They continued to pass the time together, basking in their gentle love for one another.
It was some time later that Max returned to the dorms. Opening the door and entering the corridor of her floor, she noted that things were quiet for a change. The only sign of any activity she saw was Dana and Juliet hanging around outside the latter's room, chatting. They both smiled and greeted her as she came level with them.
"Hey Max." Dana said, smiling widely.
Juliet nodded, also smiling. "What up, Max."
Max returned their greetings and smiles. "Hey Dana, Juliet. Nothing much, just been a pretty regular day."
Juliet sighed. "Those are few and far between here, it's good to actually have one of those for once."
"Tell me about it, always best to savour it while it lasts." Dana added.
Max nodded in agreement before excusing herself and heading for her dorm room. Once inside she smiled as she sat down on her and pulled out her phone. She had a few texts from Chloe and her mother she quickly responded to them.
Chloe's texts were for arrangements to meet for lunch at the Two Whales someday, Max had of course replied eagerly. Her mother's text was one of the usual ones, just checking up on her, making sure she was alright.
She replied to that too but hesitated before hitting send. There was one lingering matter after all, something she hadn't told her parents yet.
'Should I...Tell them about Warren and I...I mean, it's; maybe, maybe I'll wait for now.' She thought, coming to a decision. 'Better to see if I can make arrangements for Warren and I to go up and visit some day, they can meet face to face, that would be, better, surely.'
So, satisfied with that, she sent the text then. Smiling to herself she got up, turned on her hi-fi before picking up her guitar and, as the music began she played along.
Meanwhile, in her own room, Victoria was working on her computer; she had just uploaded the picture she had taken earlier in the day.
'Perfect, now I just need to...' She thought to herself, before glaring. 'Urgh, that music, the selfie ho is in her little cave again. Well, we'll see how long it takes until she learns her place. Tomorrow, everything begins.'
With that she began to work, all it would take would be a few changes here and there and the photo would be the perfect starting point. Max Caulfield would be ruined and would learn just how unworthy she was.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, things are going to take a drastic turn in the next chapter, so be ready, read and review please.
