Stares. A whole classroom full of people staring, the looks on their faces going from worried, to surprised, to amused. Someone had the brilliant idea of taking their phone out to record what was just happening and just after that other 3 phones popped up to record as well. Max stared at the silent classroom, suddenly forgetting what she was doing there in the first place, she tried speaking but nothing was going on in her mind, it was like her brain suddenly decided to stop working.

"Uh, excuse me Miss?" A female's voice caught her attention, must have been the teacher, the woman was in front of the class, stopped mid-writing on the board. She was in her 20s, had glasses and short dark hair, kind of cute actually.

"Are you listening?" she said and Max blinked again, a little confused.

The awkward silence continued "Are you Miss Caulfield? Was it… Maxine Caulfield?" the teacher continued, approaching her slowly "Are you okay? Are you looking for someone?"

Suddenly, Max remembered what she was doing there, feeling like an idiot for zoning out.

"Victoria" she said "I need to talk to Victoria" her sight wandered through the classroom looking for her, when her eyes found her, Victoria had the most horrified look on her face: like she wanted to disappear right there.

"Oh, alright" the teacher said "Chase, you're excused for the rest of the class, go with Miss Caulfield"

Victoria just sit there for a second, blinking in shock, she cleared her throat in the most awkward way possible, all phones pointing at her.

"I believe you're looking for the wrong person, Caulfield." Victoria said in a derogatory way, her eyes were like of a snake trying to pierce Max and make her disappear "I know you're like crazy now, but this is fucking ridiculous." Her words came out like she was spitting them. "Just because you're on meds doesn't mean you can act like a wacko and get away with it. So, as the old saying goes: Go fuck your selfie." Victoria's grin was of someone who is very proud of themselves.

After Victoria's comments the whole classroom started laughing, pointing their phones at Max once again, who just stood there in shock. A few "Bitch got served" and "You can go cry on the roof like Kate did" could be heard from between the laughter.

"Chase! Get the fuck out of my class!" The teacher yelled

Before Victoria could say anything else Max put up her right hand, rewinding time to when she was standing in front of the closed door "What just happened? I… I can't…" remembering Victoria's words, the way she spit them out and the pleased look she had when she said them, "Fuck her" Max said before turning and walking out of the building.

Anger building inside of her, Max could feel how she was losing her senses to it, Victoria's smug face pasted into her memories. She thought about everything she could do to her, "I could do anything… anything at all and then rewind." The thought ran through her mind in a very morbid tone "Nothing is stopping me, she is vulnerable to me. I have power over her, over everyone... no one ever knew about my power but Chloe, and she is gone now." Suddenly a sharp pain went through her chest as she recovered her senses "She… Chloe is gone…" she fought to stop the tears from coming down, the least she wanted was to cry in the middle of campus with everyone watching "What am I thinking? I sound just like…. Jefferson" The thought horrified her "Jesus what am I becoming?" Max was mortified by herself, remembering Jefferson made her shiver and nauseous, had she eaten anything she would have vomited right there. She tried her hardest to stop the tears and succeeded, but fell to the ground with a heartbeat so rushed Max thought her heart would explode.

Max attempted to even her breathing while trying to think about what Chloe would say to her "Get your shit together Max! You're hella creeping me out. Now get up, I know you can do this Bat-Max, you're my superhero" She could almost hear Chloe's voice inside her head, and it made her feel better. Max got up in a second, stumbling a little with her trembling legs, not eating anything was really taking a hit on her health.

When she got up Max noticed the amount of stares directed at her, people staring, whispering, some looking concerned, some amused. But no one got up to help her. She thought about rewinding but the sole action of standing up was making her shake "I need a serious time out."

The afternoon ambience was quiet and peaceful, the sun was setting and Max was sitting on a bench in front of the girl's dorm, trying to keep the world out, she put on her headphones and started a random song, 'Something Good' by alt-J started playing, Max's thoughts starting to fill her mind "Why does all of this has to happen? My life went to shit in literally 3 days, and it keeps getting worse"

The song continued playing in the background

~Get high, hit the floor before you go~

"The days before all this happened were the happiest days of my life, even with all the shit going on, I was just so happy to be with Chloe again, to finally be myself with her again. We would always have so much fun, even when she was still broken and angry sometimes, I knew it made her feel better to be with me, as much as it made me feel better to be with her. But it all lasted less than a week, and now I have never been worse…"

~Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport~

"It's like the universe wants to punish me for messing with time, it's like someone is getting a kick at seeing me suffer over and over. I can't continue just taking it, if I do that I might just explode any second"

~Something good, oh something good, oh something good tonight made me forget about you for now~

Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of Victoria and her friends walking towards the dorm, they had a weird and kind of awkward air around them, mostly from Taylor who seemed really distraught despite pretending to smile every time Victoria looked at her. Courtney also seemed concerned, but was more determined to hide it from her friend, fake smiles and laughs confirmed that.

Victoria's gaze connected with Max's as she stopped, eyes widened and suddenly awkwardly still. For a second Max thought she saw fear in her eyes but was suddenly replaced with anger, she made an awkward gesture to her friends "Let's go, just ignore the weirdo" the girl said before starting to walk again
"Vic" Taylor suddenly said, not moving from in front of Max "I- I don't think you should talk to her like that. She was very concerned about you when you… you know-" she was cut mid-sentence by a very aggressive Victoria "No Taylor. I don't know. There was nothing wrong, I just needed some time alone okay? You're just fucking paranoid, maybe talking with this pathetic lunatic made you lose your mind too or maybe you were already a wacko and lost it after what happened to your mom" Taylor stared at Victoria startled, she had seen her friend say horrible things and bully people, but this was beyond that, this was just cruel. Courtney stared at her too, shock in her eyes and Victoria noticed this.

"I, uh, let's just go okay?" Victoria said anxiously after a moment of silence

Taylor continued staring at her for a second until her expression went from shocked to hurt

"I don't know what has gotten to you Victoria. But you're not the same person anymore, I know you're good inside and I know you're a good friend, you were there for me when my mom was sick. But right now you're not that person and you're not that friend anymore and I'm not going to stand it" she said before pushing Victoria aside with her shoulder as she walked "I have to go. Don't text me okay? Oh and Court I'll see you later"

Victoria stood there for a second not finding any words to say, until she finally regained her rough expression

"What a drama queen" she said trying to shrug it off "She'll be back by tomorrow morning, let's go Courtney"

Courtney hesitated, but before she could say anything Max got up "No." Max said, her tone very determined and rough "Victoria, we need to talk. Now."

Well this one took longer than expected, and I'm sorry its short compared to the time it took. I've just been really busy these days with college stuff. Anyways this one was kind of difficult to write, I had already finished it a couple of days ago but ended up rewriting it in the end because in it Max did something very bad and questionable to Victoria and it touched a sensitive subject for some people, so I ended up taking it off.

As always please tell me what you think! I need your reviews to keep writing, tell me what you liked, what you didn't, everything!
