CHAPTER 2
4th block seemed like eternity to Max. She would tap her pencil on her desk and just stare dumbly at the clock. She couldn't wait to go home and get ready for Military Ball. Max had been waiting to go ever since the year before's. It had been a blast and she had planned for this year's the very first day after it.
"Come on clock! Reach the number 4 please!" Max begged the clock. As if it was listening to her prayers the clocks minute hand clicked onto the 4 and the bell rang for school dismissal. Max jumped out of her seat and bolted to her locker, eager to put away her books and head home. As she put in the combination to her locker's lock, her mind started to wonder back to lunch. When Dana had broke up with Terry.
'I mean I do feel bad for him. After all we are best friends, but I can't help but feel happy that they are no longer together. I won't have to see her hang all over Terry anymore like a lost puppy.' She laughed at that thought as she opened her locker and put her books in it. As soon as all her books were inside a hand slammed closed her door.
"What were you laughing about?" It was Terry. He was leaning against the lockers with his arms crossed.
"Nothing really. Just something I heard in Chemistry." she lied.
"So," Terry said as he and Max walked down the near empty school hall, "What are you doing tonight?"
"I'm going to Military Ball. You know, the dance that I've been talking about like crazy for the past month!"
"Oh, yeah, that." Terry mumbled and looked away. "I forgot, sorry."
"It's ok. I would stay home and help you patrol the streets of Gotham from my handy laptop, but I just can't tonight. My parents are leaving like usual to go on some trip for a week, so I'll have the place to myself. I'm going to take my time getting ready, take a limo there maybe, dance the night away, then come home and maybe watch a few DVD's." she glanced over at Terry who was staring straight ahead.
"Sounds like your night is full."
"Yeah, it really is." They walked the rest of the way to the student parking lot in silence before Terry spoke up.
"Need a ride home? It would be a lot faster then walking."
"Um... I think that I'll walk home." she assured him. "I'll be just fine."
"OK. Talk to you later." He opened up his car door and hopped inside and waved at her as he drove away. Max waited until Terry's car was out of view before she started to walk home. She enjoyed walking and the day was beautiful. No reason not to enjoy it right? She was enjoying the feel of the light breeze against her skin and closed her eyes to relish in the feeling. Caught up in the atmosphere she didn't see a young man running down the sidewalk straight towards her.
"AH!" Max yelped as she fell to the concrete along with another body on top of her.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I was in a rush and-" the young man looked down at Max's face and fell quite. She was so beautiful! Her eyes were a lovely brown that stood out but not too much, on her light brown face. And her hair was a bright pink, it suited her.
"Can you get off me now?" Max asked with a smile
"Oh sure! Sorry!" The guy got up and held out his hand to Max. "I'm Grayson, Grayson Price. And I'm really sorry about running into you like that. Are you ok?" He started to look her over from head to toe admiring her body and looking for scratches of any sort.
"I'm fine Gray. I'm not hurt." She saw him looking her over for any signs of pain and felt like she was with Terry. 'He always makes sure I'm not hurt after I get into it with the Jokers.'
"Anyway, I'm Maxine Gibson. My friends call me Max for short. It's nice to meet you, even if it was a run in." She flashed him a smile and saw him smile back. "Well, I have to get home, so I'll talk to you later Gray." She moved to the side to walk by him.
"Yeah, I hope to see you soon." He turned around and watched her walk away. "Maxine Gibson. You are so beautiful. You are so mine." Grayson said with a grin on his face.
