Max P.O.V.
"Angel! Gazzy! Come on guys. Time for school. You only have two more days until the weekend." I yelled up the stairs.
"Max? Is weekend code name for schools out-forever," Gazzy asked.
"No Gazzy it just means we get two days off," Angel explained. Gazzy groaned and they both grabbed their school bags. I grabbed mine and we took off. When we got there, I walked Angel and Gazzy to their classrooms.
Angel's was first, she said a quick good bye and gave a hug to the Gasman
"Bye sweetie," I said
Next was Gazzy's class. I let go of his hand and he gave me a hug.
"Bye sweetheart. I'll see you at lunch, ok?"
"Ok Max. I love you," he said.
"Love you, too honey," I said as he walked into his classroom.
I walked into homeroom and sat down.
"Hi," came a voice from behind me. I turned around to se a sandy blonde haired boy smiling at me.
"Hello," I said Awkwardly.
"I'm John."
"Um…I'm Max."
"Oh cool. Is that short for Maxine or something," he asked.
"Uh...yeah, Maxine. But you can just call me Max," I said.
"Ok cool."
"Ok everyone take your seats please," Mrs. Connors said. Everyone took their seats, except John who had locked eyes with me.
"Mr. Reilley, please take your seat." Mrs. Connors told him again. He just stood there and stared into my eyes. For some reason I couldn't look away. "Mr. Reilley," she said again. He finally sat down when I broke the gaze and looked forward so no one would see my face getting red.
"Thank you Mr. Reilley. Now to take role," she said as she sifted through her papers. She mumbled to herself. I couldn't hear her even with my raptor hearing.
I suddenly felt something dropped over my shoulder and into my lap. It was a note from John. I read it quickly.
Sit with me at lunch? –John.
I quickly debated it.
Ok as long as my little brother and sister can too. –Max.
I threw it back over my shoulder. I waited patiently for him to toss it back.
Sure. I don't care. –John.
Ok then sure –Max,I wrote quickly
I threw it over just as Mrs. Connors called my name.
"Here," I said.
"Ok. Well we all know Mr. Reilley is here…" she said and everyone laughed.
Just as she finished the bell rang. I got up and went to first period Chemistry.
"Max wait up," John said.
"Yeah?"
"I'll meet you in the lunch room ok," he asked
"Ok," I said.
"Cool. See you then." He winked at me and turned the other way.
Oh, my goodness. He is so cute, I thought to myself
Oh, who Max? Angels little voice popped into my head
Angel, get out of my head. But if you must know, a boy in my homeroom, John, I said as I thought of his face so she could see.
He is cute, Max
Yeah. Is it ok if we eat lunch with him?
Yeah, sure, I wanna meet him.
Ok. Ask Gazzy please.
Ok.
She left my head. I walked into the room and sat next to my lab partner, Sean. She is a longhaired blonde girl, who dressed just a little too slutty. She was nice though, so it's ok.
"Hey Max," she said
"Hi." I must have said it weird, because she looked at me concerned.
"Max, honey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing bad," I assured her.
"Ok, then what?" she asked
"Well John Reilley, he's in my homeroom and he asked me to eat lunch with him, and I think he's really cute," I said.
"Oh, my, Max, you've been here three days and you already have a guy crushing on you. Wow. Oh, and he sits with this really hot guy, Nick. Oh and another boy and two girls a few years younger," she informed me.
"Oh, cool," I said not really interested.
He said he doesn't mind, Angels little voice popped into my head again.
Ok thanks sweetie. Now focus on school, I said but got no reply. I guess that means ok.
The rest of the day before lunch was boring. I had Math with John and German with Sean.
I met Angel and Gazzy in the main lobby before lunch. I took both their hands, and we walked to meet John.
"Hey Max," he said.
"Hi."
"This must be Ariel and Zypher," he said.
"Yup." Angel and Gazzy smiled and said hi. Then we walked into the lunch room to eat.
