Max's POV

Why is there knocking at my door? I was half groggy when I looked over to the lock. What the fuck? It's 2 am, who the hell needs something at 2 am? Maybe if I don't get up, they will know just to go away.

I ignored the sound until I heard banging and a voice from the other side, "Hey Max, let me in."

Chloe? What is she doing here? Once I knew it was her, I quickly got up to see what she wanted.

"Hey Maximus, I didn't get to give you my number, here you go." She handed over a paper that had her name and a number. Why did she have to do this so late at night? Why couldn't she wait until tomorrow?

"Dude, why are you awake? It's super late. Get to bed." She playfully said and pushed my shoulder back.

"I am awake because Che decided to knock on my door late at night to give me a paper that should have slipped under my door like earlier. Get to bed." I looked at her, and I could see a grin on her face, a smile that I feel meant she was happy to see me. I know she just met me, but I was able to see that she was glad to be around me as much as I was pleased to be around her. Then she turned around and left to her room.

Max: You need to warn people before you enter their domain(:

Chloe: NO EMOJIS

Chloe: How about I take you out for breakfast? My treat.

Max: Okay Che it's a deal.

Chloe: You mean it's a date

Max: Stop trying to flirt with me at 2 am, I actually might flirt back

Chloe: Oh late night sexts huh? I see you are a freaky geek

Max: I'm going to bed. Goodnight

I turn the phone over to the table and just stayed there smiling. I know I just met Chloe, but she made me happy, she made me laugh, she has this glow about her that was addicting. I hope I dream of her tonight.

"Hey, Super Max! Get up! We have a date remember." I didn't mind Chloe, but she needs to stop banging on this door so early and unexpectedly. I got up and opened the door, and Chloe ran just straight into the room.

"Who needs an alarm clock when you have a cute door banger."

"Oh, so you think I am cute? I am flattered. Anyways, that outfit definitely won't get you a second date."

Oh god if she keeps grinning at me and being sarcastic I might either punch her or kiss her. Did I just say that? I hope she doesn't notice anything.

"Maybe if I got a chance to shower and change. Look, just stay here and don't destroy anything."

"You don't trust me? Ouch."

"You were breaking glass yesterday," I raised my eyebrow, and she looked at me, and didn't stop. She is just utterly captivating, and the way she looks at me, as if there is no one else around, it's only me. I should go shower before I keep thinking about Chloe.

I left Chloe in my room, and I hope she doesn't break my camera or destroy my room. I looked in the mirror and realized I look pretty terrible in the morning, how did I let her see me like this? I continued to the shower and got the hot water running to relieve the tension I had from the crazy days. I was washing my hair when I heard two girls walk in, slightly opened the curtain to see Victoria Chase and Rachel Amber staring at themselves in the mirror, I shouldn't leave right now then.

"Dude, you're not going to believe what happened yesterday," Rachel said to Victoria while fixing her makeup.

"Chloe, I found her in that new girl's room last night. That hipster better watches out who she hangs out with." Why was Rachel so upset about me? I didn't do anything to her or Chloe.

"Rach, Chloe is trailer trash, no offense, but that new girl, there is something off about her. She hangs out with Kate, so she's probably another slut entering Blackwell. Do you think she'll go to the Vortex party this Friday?"

"If she does she'll be far from Chloe, I'll make sure of that." Then the two laughed and walked out of the restroom.

Why do they not like me? If anything, I have only kept to myself and be out of all the drama here at Blackwell. I know Rachel and Chloe had a thing once, a relationship I don't know, but I wasn't doing anything. Chloe and I are just friends that met each other yesterday. I don't think in two days I am going to replace Rachel.

I cautiously walk over to my room to make sure Rachel or Victoria didn't spot me and get corned into a wall. Once I enter my room, I see Chloe with my camera in her hand. I was upset but seeing Chloe automatically made me happy; I just didn't know if I should tell her. Would she even believe me if I said something about Rachel not liking me?

"I took a couple of photos and put them on the wall of greatness. I think I am a pretty good muse since I do look good behind a lens," she chuckled, but she could see that there was something wrong. She knew something was on my mind, but I was n't sure I wanted to tell her.

"Hey, Mad Max, something wrong? I'm sorry for touching your camera; I can take the photos down." She tried getting up, but I put my hand on her arm as a sign that I didn't want her to move. She started to look at me with worry eyes, so I decided I just have to tell her.

"Chloe, I was in the shower, and Victoria and Rachel came in, they do not like me at all. Rachel started to say how she found you in my room and wasn't going to let me be near you. Then Victoria began to talk about how I was a slut for hanging around with Kate. I didn't want this attention on me here so soon." I ended up gripping her arms tighter, and she pulled me into her chest.

"Don't worry Caulfield, I have your back, that's what the captain does. So let's now and get breakfast and get this date started." She grabbed my arm and practically dragged me to her truck. I don't know if things are going to be okay, but right now I am glad to have Chloe by my side.
