On her way to her apartment, Max went over the happenings of the previous days...Thinking about what happened in the elevator, she entered her apartment smiling widely, only to find OC and Kendra waiting for her.
"Hey guys" she said, still smiling
Giving each other a look , OC asked "Where ya been boo?"
"Yeah, we've been worried" Kendra added
"Nowhere in particular"
"Come on Max, you know you can tell us anything" Kendra begged
"Yeah, and Original Cindy wants all the details" Cindy said, raising an eyebrow inquisitively
"I was at Logan's, is that alright? Or do I need a signed permission slip to go on my next field trip?" Max asked getting exasperated
"Well....anything happen in the 24 hours plus, that you were at Logan's?" Kendra asked
"Oh you know, had to go save his ass from some bad guys that were going to beat him up, stole some drugs, nabbed their boss, made a quick escape, going back to Logan's where we got caught in the elevator during the brownout...nothing out of the ordinary"
"What happened in the elevator?" OC asked with a smile
"Nothing!" Max ended the conversation by going into her room and slamming the door.
"About time" Kendra told OC
"You said it."
{Jam Pony} same day
When Max got to Jam Pony she tried to sneak past Normal at the desk. She had no such luck.
"Max, how nice to see you."
"Normal--" she began but was cut off.
"No more excuses. This was the last straw. You're fired." he said tossing an empty box to her. "Clean out your locker"
Grabbing the box and stomping off to her locker, Max didn't watch where she was going and ran into someone, knocking the box out of her hand. Looking up, she recognized the same guy who had been bothering her.
"Hey doll face" he said smirking
"Bug off" she said, unusually tired
"Whoa, wait a minute." he said, grabbing her arm as she pushed past him "I just want to talk baby."
"Yeah, and I'm the queen of England" Max replied, shaking his hand off.
He grabbed her again, and she said "This is the last warning I am going to give you. Bother me again, and you'll be sorry" her voice dangerously low
"Sure, whatever you want" he said as he grabbed her arm once again. Sighing, Max turned to face him "I warned you" she said sweetly as she jabbed him in the stomach and threw him into a row of lockers twenty feet away. Getting up, very slowly after a few minutes, he took one look at Max and ran out the door, looking like a dog with it's tail between it's legs. Luckily, no one actually saw Max throw the guy. Going over to her locker she began to throw stuff into the box.
Coming up to her, Herbal asked "Max, what are you doing?"
Her patience long gone, she snapped back, "What's it look like I'm doing genius?" as she glared at him. Surprised, Herbal took a step back, with a look of confusion on his face. Sighing once more, Max, her face softening said "Sorry Herbal. Bad day. Normal gave me the boot." Herbal stumbled for something to say, but Max stopped him with a raised hand and "No, it's ok, it's my own fault." Picking up the box, now full, she finished, "I'll see you around" then walked out of the building. Meanwhile, Herbal went to find OC and Sketchy...
