"Happy Days" part 13

Author's Note: Sorry the update is kinda late. I thought I had put Sunday and not Saturday. I'm sorry. I hope you enjoy this part(

Liz was taken by surprised. Never in a million years did she expect Max Evans to ask her on a date, let alone a date in public. Part of her felt overwhelmed and so very lucky. She knew how popular he was. The girls in the bathroom talked about him as if he was a god, and she knew why. He had those bangs that went across his forehead in a boyish yet adorable way. He had amber eyes that could read into your soul. She shuddered. She knew this was too good to be true. She knew she should be wary and questioning. She suddenly remembered what she overheard Max saying to that guy and her heart sank. This was a prank. It was a joke to embarrass her. "No, I won't go with you. I can't." Liz told him as she looked him straight in the eye. She ran off crying ignoring his pleas to reconsider.

Max felt as if he had been slapped. He had never had a girl turn him down before. It felt strange and unreal. He also admitted to himself, that that wasn't the problem. He didn't really care anymore about status. Liz had changed him for the better. He just had to prove it to her. He ran his fingers through his hair as he prayed silently to let Liz forgive him for whatever he had done. He was determined to win her heart even if he had to lose everything in the process.

Alex sat down on the Evan's couch and drank the coke Isabel had given him. "I don't know what's up with Max these days. He's been all weird," Isabel apologized as she sat down on the arm of the couch. "It's no big deal," Alex said as he shrugged. He meant it too. If Max being scatter brained would result in him spending alone time with Isabel Evans, he didn't care. "Alex can I ask you a question?" Isabel asked as she twirled her fingers together. "Yup," he replied as he stared at the family photos that adorned the wall. "Are you really here to see Max?" Isabel was suddenly embarassed. How could she have asked him that?! Sure she thought he was sorta cute, but he was Max's best friend!!! There was nothing more than attraction to him. There couldn't be. He would never like her back. He thought of her as a little sister, and she was certain that was it.

Tess strolled through the paint isle of Michael's. She hummed to herself as she picked up a bottle of red paint. "Is this a good color?" she asked Kyle. "Sure," Kyle replied as he tried not to stare at her. She must know that he liked her, and through spending time with her he had noticed she wasn't such a bitch all the time. "Okay, then we'll get it." She put it in the all ready-filled basket that hung from her arm. "So all we need now are paint brushes?" She aksed making sure she didn't leave anything off. Kyle glanced at the list in his hand and nodded. "Paint brushes and then we're done." They went to the paintbrush isle and then proceeded to go to the front of the store where they paid.

"So all you do is set the equation equal to zero?" Maria asked as she bit on the end of her pencil. "Yup that's it." Michael didn't mind this tutoring thing. He got some money, which he really needed, and Maria wasn't so bad. She was kinda cute too. "Wow, this is a lot easier than I though!" Maria said as she smiled at him. Michael glanced down at his feet feeling slightly uncomfortable. He sat in her gigantic living room feeling suddenly out of place. The floor was marble, and the counter tops were granite. Freshly polished silver gave the kitchen an attractive touch. He thought about the pricey paintings that were all over her house compared to the mess, trash, and furniture from GoodWill that made up his home. "I have to go," he said as he began to get his things together. "Good job, Maria," he mumbled as he headed to the door.

Maria had no idea what was going on. One second she thought everything was fine, and the next he seemed to want to be anywhere but with her. Her bottom lip trembled and she tried to keep from crying. She had enjoyed spending time with Michael and he had helped her so much with her school stuff!!! Suddenly a thought crept into her mind, and she knew she had to follow through with it.

So how was that? I hope you liked it. Exams are coming up so I don't know when I'll be able to update. The earliest would be Thursday, but don't count on it. If I don't update Thursday, I won't be able to until the end of the following week. Pray for me during my exams and once Xmas break gets here, I will update a lot(
