Just a little epilogue. For all of those who want it. Just felt like pairing up the final two characters. Cause why not? Just around a few hundred words. Wanted to include this in the finale but I forgot...so epilogue I suppose. This is also probably going to be my final story. Just done with writing. Read and review please. Onto the story.
Max heard someone shifting beside him. The seat creaked and groaned under the weight. It was just light enough that he knew that it was a girl. Since it was after school hours and everyone else had blasted off he could also deduce who it was. And the shampoo cinched it. He knew that kind. It was always given as a gift since it gave her hair a brighter shine that would allow it to match the intensity in her eyes.
He slowly lowered the textbook that he was going through. He had already found six mistakes, and not all of them were spelling. He was going to send it back to the company and maybe a few local colleges. They would probably either hate him for it or thank him immensely.
Max did not want to be disturbed. And he normally had an air to himself that made it clear to people. And yet here she was. The little red headed glasses wearing girl of the class. Sabrina looked at him, smiled shyly and waved.
"Hi." Max said curtly. He didn't want to be rude but he had work to do. Not to mention he didn't like how...distracting the girl had started to be for him. Not an unpleasant distraction. The kind that felt warranted. And good. And warm. Warmth deep in his chest.
"Hi." she said looking over his shoulder and scanning over the pages that he was doing. While she was a bit of a push over that did not mean that she was dumb. If anything it meant she was smart for keeping her head down and staying out of trouble. She saw what he was doing and took a couple of seconds to mentally catch up.
"Finding problems in the book?"
"Yes. It is simply abhorrent how some people allow this to happen."
"I agree." Sabrina said as she sat beside him patiently. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye and finally put the book down.
"What is it? I will not be able to concentrate until I know what it is."
"Nothing. It just is...well Chloe had to run off after school and I wanted to be with someone for at least a little while." Max nodded. He knew the feeling of being left behind. Alix and Kim were spending most of their free time together ever since the two of them had become a couple. But Chloe abandoning Sabrina? Now that he hadn't known about.
"And why is that?"
"She's still looking for her secret admirer. She hasn't figured it out. She is going to be talking to private detectives today."
"She still hasn't figured it out?" Max said legitimately confused and slightly concerned. "Isn't it obvious?"
"To everyone except for her. I have no idea how you managed to convince him. But it was a good job." Max nodded appreciatively. He enjoyed getting the praise. IT made him feel professional.
"I also thought that since this is the first time that we've been alone." She rubbed her cheek with the ball of her thumb and looked away in embarrassment. He looked at her and quirked a single eyebrow.
"I wanted to apologize. For telling Chloe everything. I thought it was okay because we were best friends and all...but...well it wasn't fair to you." Max gulped. He knew exactly why he was blushing.
His hormones. How he hated his hormones.
'Crud she's cute.' He thought and mumbled something to his book.
"What was that?" she said leaning her head closer. Her lips slightly pursed and looked very kissable. Max blushed and cleared his throat.
"I s-AI-d...That is to say, I only wished to assure you. I hold no grudge. Water under the bridge. Not to mention that everything still went exactly according to plan. So I am in no way shape or f-OR-m. Ahem. Form. Upset." Why had his voice just cracked? He thought it had settled!
And why did she look so darn cute up close? It was driving him absolutely insane. She smiled at him. She knew that boys voices changed. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Not to mention he was so adorable whenever he got flustered. IT didn't happen often. But when it did and she was lucky enough to be nearby she always replayed it back in her head.
"I'm glad. I am really happy that everything worked out well in the end. You're a genius."
"Well obviously." Max said with a smile.
"I'll see you around sometime." she stood up and walked down the steps. She paused and looked back at Max with a small nervous yet hopeful smile.
"I was wondering. IF you're free do you mind tutoring me in a couple of subjects? I want to get my grades up."
"Of course. I would be happy to." Max responded. He felt his face heating up. It hadn't felt this hot since he and Kim used to date( they were arguably the only couple in all of history that had gone from friends to a couple back to friends and still remained on very good terms. great terms in fact)
"Are you free tomorrow?" she asked hopefully trying not to bounce in place anxious for his reply.
"Definitely. Your place?" He asked adjusting his glasses.
"It's a date then." Sabrina said before striding out of the classroom. Max smiled to himself before he went back to his text book looking for any more problems.
That was when he words hit his brain. He dropped his pen where it rolled from the table and clattered to the floor.
"Oh my." His face was flushed and hot as a stove.
"Oh my." Sabrina said patting her beaten heart. She didn't know when this feeling had started. But her words tumbled through her head. And the look on his face. His smile, his smirk, his confidence. She smiled and sighed dreamily looking at the ceiling. Finally. She might just be lucky enough to be the one with the boyfriend by the end of the month instead of Chloe.
She hummed happily the entire way home and the smile did not drop from her face all through dinner. The same could be said about Max.
I own nothing not even this computer.
