Chapter Twenty-One
A Little Drama
Zack was nowhere in sight when Max finally walked back into Jam Pony, the good news was it looked like Normal had been so distracted by his new golden boy that he hadn't even noticed she was missing.
She walked over to Original Cindy by the lockers.
"You and your boo made up?" she said seeing Max's no longer furious expression.
"Turns out we had a misunderstanding."
"She wasn't his ex and she wasn't alone with him in his apartment?"
Max made a face, "No that part's still true."
Original Cindy laughed, "Honey you just fell for the oldest trick in the book, they let you think they're mad at you and then they have you falling over backwards trying to make it up to them."
Max frowned and glared at Original Cindy, then shook her head, "That's not Logan."
Original Cindy shook her head as if she knew better, "Whatever you say Sug.
"No, no seriously that's not Logan and trust me he had a reason to be pissed." Max defended.
"What about the ex?"
Max frowned again, what about Valerie? "I don't know." she groaned, "I have to ask him about her don't I?"
Cindy nodded, "Fraid so boo."
"So what happened to the new guy?" she asked looking around "We scare him off that easy?"
Original Cindy laughed, "Fraid not. Normal sent him out, you need to watch out for that one, he was drooling over you…But don't worry, I put him in his place."
"What do you mean?" the worry creeping out of her eyes.
"Just told him that only one boy has your heart despite the fact that you looked like you wanted to tear out his."
"You told him about Logan" she said with a whimpering groan, God Zack knowing how weak she was, she wasn't looking forward to hearing about that.
"I'm sorry did you want to get all lickety with Normal's protégé?"
Max gave a laughing groan, "Ugh definitely not. But do you have to spread it around?"
Cindy laughed, "You been with the boy for over four months Max, I don't think people think you just keep running into him at Crash."
"Ugh" Max said sitting down, "Being in a relationship is so embarrassing."
"It was a lot easier when you didn't like them wasn't it?" Cindy said laughing as she leaned up against her locker.
"God that's an understatement…You know I blame you…We had a great first three months…" she shook her head.
"Okay so you had a little drama today, it's not the end of the world."
"Second drama in less than a month. This is getting excessive."
Cindy laughed, "Drama twice in one month?" she shook her head, "Yea real excessive" she said sarcastically. "Come on let's get out here."
