Liz hitched her bag strap higher on her shoulder and sighed *
bloody bag *. It was one of her many new buy's from the holidays. She
had bought a whole new wardrobe that was completely different from
what she was used to, more of Maria's style. According to Maria, getting
a new wardrobe was the best way of getting over your man. Liz wasn't
sure whether this would work but she was ready to give anything a try.
She slowing strode in, feeling her sandals rub at the sides of her
feet. Liz staggered down the hall as gracefully as possible until she
reached her locker. She opened it wide and started to unpack her bag. Her
bag was way too small, it was Maria's fault for making her buy some
ridiculously tiny pink shoulder bag which was completely impractical.

Max had woken up late and was therefore dragged out of bed by Isabel.
Max pulled on his trousers, his new shirt (desperate attempt to make Liz
notice him) and his denim jacket. He paused in front of the mirror,
carefully inspecting his reflection. He wanted to make a good impression
on Liz, they hadn't seen each other for quite awhile.
He quickly ran up the steps in front of the school, he couldn't be
late on the first day back. He slowed down once he reached the top and
slowly strode down the corridor, turned the corner and there she was.
Max paused, what should he do? He could just walk past and pretend that
he hadn't seen her or he could just go say hi, there's no harm in saying
hello is there?!
Max took a deep breath and began walking over in Liz's direction,
"Hey Maxy Boy" A hand slammed down onto Max's shoulder and he
was forced to stop.
"Hi Michael" Max said with a disappointed sigh,
"Don't be too glad to see me will ya" Michael said in a sarcastic tone
"It's just that, I'm…I'm kinda busy" Max said looking over to Liz who
was still loading up her locker. Michael followed Max's glance,
"Look Max" Michael said turning Max around by his shoulders to face
him, "You gotta let her go, she's moved on and so should you" Michael
said like he knew everything about everything.
"Look Michael, as I treasure your priceless advice you're not exactly one
to talk. What's happening with you and Maria?" Max asked with raised
eyebrows.
"We have both moved on….it's for the best" Michael explained as if he
was telling himself more than Max.
"Well I'm happy for you two but its not the same for me and Liz. I know
she loves me and I love her, I just need her to realise she needs me" Max
explained looking over his shoulder yet again at Liz.
"Snap out of it Max!! She…does…not…want…you" Michael said slowly
and loudly,
"You have no idea Michael" Max said shaking his head " And will you
keep your voice down!" Max ordered suddenly realising that they had
suddenly become the centre or attention.

Liz continued to unpack her bag, she couldn't belief the amount of books
she had, she felt like Mary Popins! Suddenly she heard loud voices from
behind her, she turned around. Max and Michael were having what
seemed to look like a fight in the middle of the corridor
"Snap out of it Max! She does not want you" Michael shouted. Who's
she? Is Max dating?
"You have no idea Michael!" Max shouted back. What were they talking
about?
"You are not soul mates Max! You're with Tess" Michael said back
quieter than before but Liz could still hear what he was saying, they were
talking about her. Liz never wanted to become the reason that Michael
and Max fought, they needed to stick together.
~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x
"You know full well I don't want Tess, I love Liz and I will be with her"
Max explained looking over in Liz's direction. Liz stood staring back, he
realised she'd heard everything they'd said. He watched as she slowly
dragged her eyes away from his, shut her locker and walked away to her
next lesson. Max quickly ran after her, he needed to explain. He caught
up with her and grabbed her shoulder,
"Liz wait" Max said desperately still with his hand on her shoulder. Liz
slowly turned around,
"What Max?" Liz asked quietly avoiding eye contact, her face was
slightly flushed. Max had a flash back of them kissing on her bed
wrapped up in a blanket, he knew she'd seen the same thing.
"I just wanted to say….i'm sorry" Max said quietly, he desperately tried
to get the images of them kissing out of his head. He had to focus
"Yea, so am I. I led you on, we both knew that it was over but I let into
temptation. I'm sorry Max" Liz explained still not looking into his eyes
but looking down at their feet.
"I'm not sorry for that and I never will be" Max said with a smile but it
slowly turned into a frown when he got no reaction from Liz "I am sorry
for putting you in that situation and for getting in the way of you and
Joshua, you two make a good couple" Max explained, forcing himself to
believe it.
"Me and Joshua are no longer a couple, I broke it off" Liz explained
finally looking up into Max's eyes.
"You did, why?" Max said hiding the smile on his face. He couldn't
believe it, this was such a good sign! Liz was slowly giving in, he could
feel it.
"Because it wasn't fair on him, it was never going to work in the first
place. I needed something to get my mind of things and there he was" Liz
explained "There to be used".
"You didn't use him Liz…I know you cared for him, you wouldn't have
brought him here otherwise" Max explained fiddling with his rucksack
strap.
"I spose" Liz replied, the bell sounded. Liz pointed upwards, "Better go,
see you around Max"
~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~
Liz rushed off to class, not looking back. She had to sort things out with
Max but she just didn't have the time right now and she definitely wasn't
in the right mental state either. There was a huge bio exam tomorrow and
she had a whole evening of revision to look forward to*goody*.
Liz twirled her pen round between her fingers, drifting slowly into Max
land. Visions of him flooded her brain, as soon as she realised what she
was doing she quickly gave herself a mental slap and pushed aside the
images. She found herself doing that recently, mentally beating herself up
over her feelings towards Max. Maybe she should just give in.
~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~
Max watched as Liz walked off into the classroom, he just wished they
could go back to the way they were. He knew she felt the same way deep
down, he just needed to bring it to the surface but how? Something
drastic was gunna have to happen…..
