"Max! You've got to stop getting into fights! One more and you'll be expelled!" Dr. Martinez tried to scold her daughter, who obviously, wasn't paying attention.
Max nodded, distracted with her thoughts.
"Max, are you listening to me?" Dr. Martinez waved her hand in front of Max's face, and Max flinched.
"Uh-huh. Yeah, no more fights." She said.
Her mother looked at her worriedly, still sometimes confused at why Max acted this way and how much she had changed lately.
"Why were you even fighting with this boy?" She asked.
Max frowned, not wanting to think about Alex, "I'm sorry."
Her mother shook her head and decided to let the subject drop, knowing that she wasn't going to get any answers from Max.
Unknown to both of them, a certain dark haired sixteen year old boy was listening in on their conversation from the stairs. And he was also upset.
*_* *_* *_* *_*
By the next day, the fight was already old news, besides, Max got into fights every other day. It wasn't really the most earth-shattering event occurring. Like the fact that Fang was checking Karen out, which was way more important.
Karen sauntered by, deciding to pretend she didn't notice the most handsome and mysterious guy in the whole school was gawking at her. Of course, though, she was secretly very pleased.
Fang kept watching her, oblivious to the fact that Max was standing next to him, and was very angry.
"FANG!" She screeched, stepping in front of him and blocking his view.
He seemed unnerved at her sudden outburst and went back to getting stuff out of his locker.
"Remember our rule." She hissed.
Fang just shrugged, his face expressionless.
"I'm serious. No dating. No attachment. We can't have people holding us back if we ever have to go on the run aga-"
"Look, Max, whatever. I don't really care." He slammed his locker door shut, also angry, and walked away. He had to force himself not to look back, though.
Max watched him as he turned the corner and disappeared from sight.
Yeah, so by now you probably get that they've got some issues going on. Don't hate Fang though. Max is the one who rejected him. I'll try to explain more in the next chapter.
