A/N: Salutations readers,

I apologize for the delayed fanfic due to suffering from an extreme writers-block. But I would appreciate very much if I had a bit more reviews to boost up my confidence and to write again.

Anyway…

Finally, they made it to the busy lunchroom. Fanboy chewed on his lip while glancing out of the corners of his eyes to see Maxine's pretty face, and had blushed the sixth time. It's really frustrating why really he likes her- yet, he all felt so shy around her from some reason, quiet, it's really weird- and he's not the type to blush unless from embarrassment.

Not to mention these mushy thoughts invading his mind about Maxine, like… imagining him hugging her or walking down the hall with hands interlocked and, kissing. Fanboy wrapped his arms around himself and sighed dreamily as his goofy smile creeped upon his face, standing fantasy. Maxine's so pretty, smart, awesome… so many words he can't explain! It's this weird feeling he never had before- could this mean he was in…?

The edge of his sleeve was tugged on and Fanboy snapped himself out of his daze, blinking to find Chum Chum staring at him in puzzlement. ''Fanboy? Is there something wrong? You look…weird.'' He said and frowned as he analyzed Fanboy carefully, while the purple masked boy eyes broadens and felt fire spreading across his cheeks, then Fanboy laughed while waving his hand at Chum Chum.

''nonsense! Nothing is wrong with me! Just thinking about something.''

''But, you never think about anything for that long! Or at all.''

''…'' Fanboy given his friend a blank stare for a moment then sighed, ''nevermind, let's go get our food.'' He replied with an irritation expression and jogged over to Maxine who was 'originally' last in line, but since all the guys generously moved her through the line until where the females harbored- she way ahead in the line. Fanboy tried to walk next to his crush, though, with harsh glares, coward and went to the back of its line with Kyle and Chum Chum following lead.

Maxine frowned in disgust at the food as she stared at the glop made from the lunch lady. ''It'll make you BIG and STRONG! So make sure you eat it!'' She said while landing a slob of rubbish on Max's plate, and now shooing her to leave. Growling an irritation, the cat-girl took her food and stomped angrily to find a table for her new friends, when most of the boys tried to lure her to sit with them- pfft, as if.

The girls glared daggers at Max, but they can all screw off for all she cares. She can send them to Mars, since she have hidden powers and such, duh, and besides… who wants to be around girly girl stuff, make up, and cute things! She can have fun with her two new friends! Smirking to herself, Max found an empty table and sat down quietly; setting her horrible lunch on the table. Next she summoned her Necromantic book Mar and smiled, ''what's up Mar?'' ''what have I told you about unexpectedly summoning me?'' she sneered but Maxine had given her a dead-pan look, ''yeah, and what are you gonna to do about it?''.

''I would explain to the wizard authority you're not obeying me!'' And that's when Max growled venomously; showing her sharp canine teeth, ''and I will send them whimpering to their mommies.'' ''don't test me Maxine.''

''Quit calling me that! It's Max.'' Rolling her eyes and set her book onto the table, now smiling to get some real food. Closing her eyes as her hands hovered over her slop; a red glow came from her hands then onto the food, and Max squints her eyes tightly… then zap! The slop turned into pizza and fries. Licking her lips and mouth watered, ''what have I told you abou-'' Mar began to scold, but was interrupted by the young girl.

''Yeah, I know, don't abuse my powers.''

''Yet you still do!'' Ignoring the large red book, Maxine began to eat her pepperoni and cheese pizza when someone else sat next by head. ''Oh, sup Fan-'' she turned her head to find, no, not Fanboy, but Kyle next beside her as he grinned bashfully, ''oh… um, hey Kyle.'' Max slowly said, blinking as the red-head british stuttered, ''o-oh! U-um, h-h-hello Maxine.'' Began blushing while he rubbed the back of his head.

After the runaway scandal, Kyle managed to take a breather before studying on his rather… weird thoughts. Going to the bathroom to splash water on his face to stop the burning sensation on his cheeks, but unfortunately didn't stop the thoughts about the new girl Maxine. Seeing her at lunch made his heart race and mind going blank; trying to adjust to her…beauty. Though, the shame and embarrassment hindered him from doing anything, yet, to stare.

Now sitting next beside the girl that made his heart race, Kyle tried to form a conversation which didn't consist of him running away. ''U-uh…''

''So, Kyle, are you a wizard?'' Max randomly asked and Kyle blinked, startled of the direct question. Why would she ask whether or not he was a wizard? Of course he is a wizard, but, he stopped proving himself a wizard since nobody would believe him- and if he had told her, she wouldn't believe him as well. ''Um… why?''

''I just wanted to know.'' Maxine looked at him with her purple prett-… intriguing eyes, and it made his heart flutter, ''um, to answer you question, yes but-'' ''oh cool! I'm a wizard too!'' She exclaimed with a grin.

…Did he just hear what he had just heard?

''R-…really?'' Kyle whispered and Max nodded, ''I'm a wizard at level six. Gotten kicked out of Milkweed academy due to turning my teacher into a nutcracker, so I moved here.'' His mind went blank, trying to comprehend the information she told him.

Maxine was a wizard too? Kyle beamed instantly and grabbed a hold of Max's hands, ''really? I never had another wizard like me before living here!'' Gripping her hands tightly due to excitement, and it was her turn to blink before looking down at their hands; entwined together. ''You don't know how much I'm happy that someone is just like me!'' Kyle rambled, while Max just stared at their hands together, blushing faintly.

''Kyle…''

''It was so awful dealing with it! I mean no one here would believe me!''

''Kyle!'' She said and Kyle still kept smiling, ''what?'' ''um, hands.'' Looking down to notice their hands interlocked and he blushed, quickly pulling them away. His heart raced again, heat lingering from her hands… then felt how soft they were. Staring in her eyes seemed to pull him in- it was so hypnotizing…

Maxine, on the other hand, felt herself blush as she began to now study to british boy. He wasn't half bad- not bad looking either, very… handsome? Looking at him up and down, then noticed how cute he looked. Time seemed to slow down, everything faded away, didn't realized how close she was to Kyle; somehow she went slowly closer to him. The two were in a trace, coming closer as their faces were inches apart.

Lips nearly touching…

''AHEM!'' They drew apart swiftly as someone voice snapped them out of their trance. Fanboy glared harsh daggers at Kyle, whom was flushing from awkwardness, and he growled silently underneath his breath, gripping his tray tightly while teeth grinded together at what he almost saw. Narrowing his eyes dangerously into slits as he slammed his tray loudly next beside Maxine- which startled all his friends, still staring hard at Kyle.

Fanboy, after getting his own tray which had taken him about a few minutes, went to find the girl of his dreams! Sigh! Looking from each table he had trouble finding her- but then who couldn't find a girl with cat ears and purple eyes with a golden mask? Once he had found her, Fanboy beamed, for it was his first time sitting next to a girl! Especially the one he likes! But slowly the beam faded when he saw Kyle sit next to Max.

Fanboy then rolled his eyes, it was just Kyle! He was his friend so what's the point not being happy about it? He's happy that he can sit next to all of his friends! Maxine, Chum Chum, Kyle and himself! It would be awesome! Then, things… started to get unawesome. For some reason, Fanboy just stood back and watched Maxine saying something and then frown when Kyle grabbed her hands. Chum Chum was next beside him, though; at the moment Fanboy didn't care. When Maxine began to blush, that's when jealously started to attack him, and Fanboy was losing the battle to control his jealousy; eyes narrowing and a grim frown replaced his once, happy beam. Chum Chum stared at Fanboy in confusion of why his friend was acting so weird, and ignored him for some reason with an ugly frown on his face.

Then they began moving closer to eachother, started by Kyle- that drew the line. Growling and gripped his tray to suppress his anger and jealousy…it went to the point Fanboy even indented the metal like tray. Blood pressure sky rocketed when he saw their lips nearly touching- okay, that's it. Stomping to them in anger he made a loud noise to interrupt them. He wasn't about to let his crush get almost kissed by Kyle, no, no, no! He's not going to let that happen.

Fanboy cares too much to let Kyle get a hold of her, too much for no reason.
