A/N:
Sorry I didn't update sooner! My computer is being fixed so I have to write the chapters on my phone and it takes a lot longer!
Once this story gets a few chapters going I will start writing MAYBE Max/Nathan or Chloe/Nathan fics. MAYYBEEE...
Anyways, enjoy!
Max's POV
I sat in my dorm on my bed staring at the ceiling, just thinking. It was a Saturday morning, I looked at the time on my phone, it only read 10:30am, this was gonna be a long day, in addition to the previous days.
It's been a long two days... a VERY long two days... Victoria is still being her bitchy-self, Nathan is still be an asshole, Chloe is still being... Well... Chloe, Jefferson is still being an awesome teacher, can't believe that we have the pleasure of having a professional photographer as a teacher. And Chloe wasn't wrong about what she said, he IS hot for a teacher, that's why almost every girl at Blackwell isn't trying to get in his pants. But he can be annoying as he's been pressuring me into giving him my entry for the everyday hero contest, but obviously it was too late to enter now considering that the vortex party was tonight, and he was announcing the winner there, even though the deadline was 1pm I still don't think there is any point in submitting.
It's weird now, the vortex club are already planning more parties in advance and I even heard Nathan talking about having a vortex part once every two months. God if that happens it's gonna be chaos.
The person who has been annoying me the most was Warren, he's asking me to be his 'date' for the party, but all I can see in him is a really good friend. That's it. I should let him down lightly. Obviously I have been denying his requests to go with him to the vortex party. To be honest, I don't even want to go, but I will go for the hell of it, could be fun.
*knock knock*
I sighed before getting up from the bed and walk towards the door. I open it up and come face to face with the blue-haired girl herself. She pushed herself by me and walked into my room. Chloe WAS allowed on campus, just not in the actual school building.
"Wow. Yeah, sure you can just come in without asking or anything..." I said as I shut the door and sat on the bed
"Yea yea. Anyways, I heard that there's gonna be a hella cool party tonight! Why haven't you mentioned it?" She asked as she walking around my room and started looking through drawers and boxes.
"I don't even wanna go to it! It's a 'vortex' party, the worst kind of party. Everyone getting overly drunk, having sex in the bathrooms and all the VIPs just act like stuck-up assholes!" I replied.
"The 'getting drunk' part sounds fun, I guess," Chloe said as she started to flick through some of my previous photos I had taken. "Are you sure you don't wanna go? I do, sounds hella awesome!"
"Since when do you like parties?"
"You haven't seen me for five years Max, I like a lot of new things."
"What, like drugs?" I said while glaring at her.
"Wow, why you acting like an ass, Max?" She asked with concern.
"Sorry sorry, I've just been having a rough time at Blackwell, with pretty much all the the vortex party on my ass. And with Mr. Jefferson pressuring me into giving him my entry for the contest. I just feel like shit." I groaned as I rubbed my eyes.
"Jefferson... Is he the hot one?" Chloe asked as she wiggled her eyebrows.
"Chloe!"
"Come on Max, don't bullshit me. I can see that you have an interest in him. Or would you rather be with that nerdy guy, Warren?"
"I don't like Warren like that. He might like me but I only see him as a good friend."
"Are you guys friends with benefits?" She asked with a smirk.
"No fucking way! What's wrong with you?" I said. Chloe chuckled before standing up and saying,
"Let's go Max!"
"Wh-what where?"
"Inside the swimming pool building! I wanna see what the party is gonna look like, I wanna be prepared for when we go later!"
"You're going to the Vortex party? I don't even think you're allowed." I stated.
"I'm allowed to go if I'm your date right? So I'll be your date instead of that Warren guy! Perfect? Perfect." Before I even got a say in this, she already left the room, I rolled my eyes before grabbing my camera off of my desk and putting it in my bag.
"Hurry up slowpoke!" I heard Chloe shout from down the hall.
"Alright! I'm coming!" I exited my dorm room and walked towards Chloe.
"Come on! We're burning daylight, Maxine!"
"Don't call me that..." Chloe smiled before we both exited the building. As we opened the door, there stood Mr. Jefferson at the bottom of the stairs.
"Ah. Max, just the person I wanted to talk to!" He exclaimed. Chloe looked at me with that... 'Look', as if to say 'he wants you'. I shoved Chloe down the stairs.
"I'll meet you there, Max!" She said as she ran away towards the swimming pool building. (A/N: No clue what it's actually called!) Asshole.
"Max. You know what I'm here to talk about..." He trailed off. I looked around the area and I noticed that me and Jefferson were the only ones here. Where was everyone? Probably all preparing for the vortex party.
"Yeah. It's about my entry isn't it?" I guessed. He nodded in confirmation.
"I really think that you should put your work out there, Max. You definitely have a gift." He said in a calm tone as he placed his hand on my shoulder like he did a few days ago. It was kinda awkward, but I'm not gonna like, it did feel nice as he started to rub my shoulder.
"Erm I gotta go. Chloe might be waiting for me." He removed his hand and sighed,
"Come on Max. Submit a photo, then you'll be given the chance to go to San Francisco and become an even better photographer!" He said. It would be cool to improve my skill by going with Mr. Jefferson to San Francisco. Maybe I should enter, I mean, I still have two hours to enter, maybe I could just use a previous photo I have taken.
"I actually have my entry." I said.
"Really?" He asked with a shocked expression.
"Yeah. It's in my room. I could go grab it if you want."
"That would be great, Max. I really think you have the potential to become a professional." He complimented.
"Thanks, Mr. Jefferson." I said before going back into the dorm.
I slowly walked towards my room at the end of the hall, god Chloe is gonna kill me at how late I am. I opened my door and walked in, I went straight to a box that was sitting on my desk, It contained most of my photos that I took. I sat at the desk and emptied the contents of the box onto the desk. I looked at the pile of photos and started to look through them.
"Some of these are crap. How can I show these to Mr. Jefferson?" I said to myself. I looked between two photos on the desk. Hmm which one?
I then heard my door click, I quickly looked behind me and saw none other than Mr. Jefferson standing there.
"Er- M-Mr. Jefferson?" I questioned with concern.
