Reversed Connections

Chapter Two: Help

It was the next morning and it was time to head to school. Maxie grabbed her beanie placing it over her head. Grabbing her book bag she threw it over her shoulder resting it on her side. She headed downstairs. Maxie went over to the table picking up a apple then rushing out the door to her car. On the way to the school she thought about what it would be like to be part of the popular club. It seemed to come so easily for her sister Georgie. She was apart of the cheer leading squad, prep club, and the drama club. Maxie had barely enough time in her schedule to eat. She had the debate team, she was the editor in chief of the PCU Herald, also she volunteered on her days off at the hospital on the children's wing. So her life was busy every second of the day. She finally reached the parking lot of PCU. Parking her car she got out grabbing her book bag throwing it back over her shoulder she walked up the walkway to her locker area. PCU seemed to be the only college that seemed to remind her of high school still with the locker area. She put in her combination, opening the door. She pulled out her lit book and put her other books in her locker. She closed it behind her walking to her first class Lit. She walked in taking a seat she seen her sister sitting in the back row with Sage and Serena laughing and giggling over a magazine before the teacher arrived. Rolling her eyes at their teen school girl ban tics.Later on that day it became lunchtime she found a nice shaded tree. Sitting down she pulled out her Edgar Allan Poe short stories book and started reading. A couple minutes went by and she was deep in reading when she heard a voice, she looked up to she the most beautiful bluish green eyes looking down at her.

"That book must be interesting to have you so lost in it?"

"It's a collection of short stories by Edgar Allan Poe, one of my favorite authors." Maxie couldn't understand why she was talking up a storm like that with a stranger.

"So I see you like reading huh? I personally enjoy the video games myself."

"Yeah well reading enhances your brain."

Damian smirked holding back a laugh sitting down beside her. Maxie tilted her head abit agitated that he sat down beside her and more than that for laughing at her for saying such a thing.

"I have you know that some of us prefer life outside of the box so to speak."

"Hey I am not dissing you in no way. I am just saying."

Maxie turns looking to him "And what is it that you ARE saying?"

"Chill..I am sorry, I didn't know you would get worked up..Let's start over..I really like reading.."

Maxie rolls her eyes "yeah now your lying."

"Geez can't a guy get a break."

"When the guy starts to tell the truth."

Damian smiles looking at Maxie "You know I like you. Your not like most of the girls around here."

Maxie shrugs "Yeah I get that alot it seems."

"Why haven't I noticed you around here before?"

"Surprised you hadn't..You are dating my sister."

"Ohh!! Your Georgie's Sister? Wow I had no idea."

"Yeah join the club." Maxie frowned.

"Hey don't look so down, it's not that bad being her sister is it?"

Maxie grabs her bag and book standing up "It's been fun but I..go..got to go.."

"Wait!" Damian sighs watching her walk away from him fast. "Damn that girl is nothing like Georgie, something about her makes me want to know more."

A couple days later Maxie was sitting at the house studying when she heard a knock on the door, she closed her book walking to the door opening it. She sees Damian standing there with a smile on his face.

"Georgie isn't here."

"I didn't come to see Georgie."

"I don't want to talk to you." Maxie begins to close the door as Damian puts his hand in her way.

"Wait. Will you let me explain why I am here...please."

Maxie sighs opening the door more motioning him to walk in. Damian walks in.

"You got five minutes."

"Okay, so..I need a favor."

"You came all the way over here for a favor?"

"Yeah, it's well a major favor."

Maxie crosses her arms over one another looking at him "How major can it be that you want me to help you?"

"Well my mom is wanting me to get good grades and well the coach is down my neck also."

Maxie threw her hands up "How should I have known. You want me to tutor you because I seem to be so smart right?"

"Would you?"

Maxie walks up to him inches apart from him. She looked into his eyes and at that instant she felt drawn as he did also.

"What makes you think I would have said yes."

"I came here on a whim hoping you would."

"You got balls Spinelli."

"Yeah, so is that a yes?"

Maxie looks away then back to him "Only studying, If my sister suspects anything else that's it. I am not the type to hurt my sister."

"Deal. So when do you want to start tutoring me."

"Tomorrow afternoon I have a few moments we can do it then."

"Where should I met you?"

"Met me at General Hospital."

"At the Hospital?"

"Well yeah duh, I volunteer there on my days off from school activities."

"Okay then it's a date."

"No..No..It's not a date."

"Okay whatever..I'll see you then." Damian walks over to the door, opening it up he walks out shutting it behind him.

Maxie slaps her forehead "Ugh what have I gotten myself into."
