Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Dark Angel characters. Iris is mine.
I knew it, I just knew it, I had a test week last week, and I screwed it
up, big time! I got my grades back today, pathetic! A 35 on math and
chemistry! But on the bright side, I got a 66 on biology and I usually suck
at that.
So anyway, getting back to my story, I've got a couple of chapters lined up
on my pc. Tell my what you think of this one and I promise to post the next
chapter 2morrow! (Wednesday, plus it introduces a new chatacter!)

JAM PONY
Iris came in, she was quite happy and cheerful.
"Hey all! Fine day isn't it?" she said out loud so everyone could hear.
"What's with you? Had a good night last night?" Alec asked, looking around the corner
"Actually, I did!"
"Why? Had fun at Crash or something?" he asked
"No, I didn't go to Crash last night." She replied
"Than what?"
"You could say I had an epiphany, it just. hit me!" she said cheerful
"What hit you?" Sketchy asked, wondering what all the commotion was all about.
"Oh, just this thing." and she put her arm around Sketchy. ('I'm gonna kill Max.' Those were the only words running through her head.)
He looked at her, than at Alec. Alec shrugged.
"Don't look at me, I didn't do or say anything!"
"So Sketchy, wanna go out tonight?" she asked, sounding very seductive
"Ehm, not that I'm complaining, but are you sure you have the right person in front of you?" he asked looking confused
"Of course I'm sure, why? Don't you wanna go out?"
"No, I do wanna, trust me, but you kinda blew me off the other night plus you seemed to be very happy dancing with Alec."
"Fine! Than we won't go!" the expression on her face changed from happy, cheerful to angry and rejected. "All, you had to say was no!"
"Wow, what's with you? I'm just saying that it's kinda weird what you're doing right now! I'm not saying I don't wanna go, cos I do!" he replied, looking surprised by her reaction
Max walked in looking kinda bummed about her conversation with Logan. Alec noticed her are followed her to her locker.
"Hey Max!"
"Huh? Oh, hey Alec"
"Everything okay? You look a bit sad and distracted." He said
"I'll be okay." She replied
"Well, if you wanna talk about it.."
"Yeah, thanks for the offer." And she walked away from him
Iris and Sketchy headed for Alec, while looking over their shoulders towards Max, wondering what was going on, what just happened.
"What's with her?" Sketch asked
"I dunno, problems with Logan I guess, she was suppose to stop by last night, guess it didn't go too well. Anyway, she won't talk to me about it." Alec replied "So what's with you guys, everything okay? Are you going out?"
"Yeah, we talked for a bit, everything's all good again" said Sketch
"We're gonna go to Crash tonight, wanna come?" Iris asked
Sketchy gave Alec a look saying, say no, please say no!
"No, thanks, wouldn't wanna be the third wheel or something, besides I think I'm gonna go to Max, see if she's okay." He walked over to the payphone "But first I'll find out for myself what's wrong with Max today" he dialed Max and Cindy's number. OC didn't have to start until the afternoon, so she was home.
"Hey OC here!"
"Hey OC, it's Alec."
"Hey, Max isn't here."
"I know, listen, did anything happened with you and her of with her and Logan, cos she looked distracted." He asked
"Yeah, nothing with me and her, her and Logan on the other hand."
"So. plan on telling me what happened?" he asked
"First of all, if I knew what happened I wouldn't tell you, it's not my place, second, I don't know, so I can't tell you. If you really wanna know, you should ask her."
"I already asked her if she was okay, she said she was and then she left. So that's why I was wondering if you knew."
"Well, I don't. Call Logan, he knows."
"Yeah, maybe I will. Thanks."
They hung up and Alec grabbed his bike and left to try and find Max.
Iris watched him go.
"Always running along after her, like a lost little puppy! Run all you want, she'll be gone soon and then you'll just have to chase someone else." She said, not noticing Sketchy still standing next to her.
"What?" he asked
"What? Oh, nothing. I was just remembering a quote from this book I read." That was a close call, I should really watch what I'm saying when I'm in public. Thank god for improvising.
"Quote? That doesn't sound like any quote I ever heard." he replied and walked away laughing.
"So we'll hook up at Crash tonight?" she shouted to him
"Yeah! See you there at 7!" he shouted back.
SOMEWHERE IN SECTOR 6
Alec drove around a bit after delivering a package. He was hoping to find Max, she was also working sector 6 today. He drove over to a wall and stopped. He took out his cell phone and called Logan.
"Logan? It's Alec"
"Alec? Hey, is everything okay?" Logan asked
"Funny, I was just about to ask you the same question." He replied
"Why? What's going on?"
"What did you and Max talk about last night?"
"That's between us, it's private!" Logan said "in other words, non of your business!"
"Well, you just made it my business, cos Max is upset, she's my friend and I'd like to know what's going on cos I can't find her!" Alec replied with a loud voice
"What do you mean you can't find her?"
"Just as I said I can't find her. I looked all over sector 6, she's suppose to be working here today. I tried talking to her earlier cos she looked upset, but she didn't wanna talk about it."
"Fine, we talked about us, I guess she just want's to be alone right now." Logan replied
"What exactly did you talk about?"
"I already told you, stuff about us, you know, the things I told you, at Crash a couple of nights ago."
"Oh, all that? ." Max drove by "Listen I gotta go, I spotted her. Later!" he hung up
"Max! Hey Max! Wait up!"
"What do you want?" she asked as she slowed down a bit
"Nothing, I just thought I'd ride with you, I thought you could use a friend right now." He said, "Even if you don't wanna talk, if you just wanna ride."
She looked over to him and smiled, he'd never done this, not really, not like he's doing right now. He's a good friend, why didn't I ever notice that before?
"Yeah, thanks." She replied
"Sure, any time Max, that's what friends are for." And they just drove out of sector 6, back to Jam Pony in silence, but together.
(TBC)

Okay, I guess the purpose of this chapter was to let you know that Max and Alec are getting closer to each other, that they're starting to develop feeling for each other. Of course Iris can't be too happy about this. REVIEW Ghosty girl
