"Alright, honey, you have everything?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm good." Max said.
"Okay. Call me. Be safe."
"Don't worry I will." She kissed her mother quickly goodbye and got on board. And the first two people she saw standing there were-
"Cody!" She hugged one of her best friends.
"Max! It's so good to see you!"
"It's great to see you too." Then she noticed Bailey.
"Hi, I'm Bailey." She said brightly, holding out her hand. Surprisingly, Max hugged her.
"So YOU'RE Bailey! Cody's told me so much about you!"
Cody smiled as he led the way to the sky deck.
"Where's Zack?"
"Hmm..." Cody looked around until he saw him and yelled, "Zack!"
He looked up, from wiping a table at the top of the stairs. When he saw Max, his eyes went wide in disbelief as she smiled at him.
"Max?"
"Hey, Zack!"
He slid down the rail and landed right in front of her.
"I can't believe it's you." He said.
Then, he pulled Max in a hug, knocking her breathless. And she returned it with passion.
"Oh my god." She sniffed as they pulled away. A tear of happiness rolled down her cheek and Zack mindlessly caught it with his thumb.
"What are you doing here?"
"I transfered."
"Here?"
"Yeah, didn't Cody tell you?"
"No..." Zack turned to face his brother with gritted teeth. "He didn't."
"Oh."
He shook his head. "Want a smoothie?"
"Sure."
He led the way to the smoothie bar.
"So, what d'ya like?"
"Um...a chunky monkey."
"Comin' right up."
A minute later...
"Thank you." She took a sip, mindlessly gazing at zack as he wiped the counter off. He felt her eyes on him and looked up.
"What?"
"It's nothing. You've just changed...tall...your hair..."
"So have you. Your hair's longer and you've become slightly more girly. I like it."
She blushed slightly. "Thanks."
That's when a certain song came on. Max and Zack began bobbing their heads in unison, smiling.
"You know headsprung?" She asked, now moving a little in her seat.
"LL Cool J? Yeah."
Max got up and began popping and locking. On a turn-on beat, she gestured for him to join her. He smiled, and jumped over the counter and begain dancing with her in harmony.
Soon, they caused attention and a lot of people rushed over in a small circle aroung them.
"They're good." Bailey said, swaying a little to the music beside Cody.
"When they're together." He replied, bobbing his headas Zack slid through Max's legs and spun on the floor. Max hovered over him, moving her arms. Once the song was done, the croud exploded with applause as Max and Zack both bowed and passed an embrace of congradulations to each other, proud, a little embarassed, and drenched in sweat.
