Max was walking down the hallway in his half bored state trying to figure out what to do with him self. It was rather odd that he, the happy always busy hyper one, had to try to think of something to do. He turned down another hall only to run into, his mother's assistant and one of his friends, Emily. "Hey Emily." He said trying not to blush after realizing what position they landed in. She stood up and fixed her skirt.
"Sorry I didn't see you." She said helping him up also trying not to blush. 'Not that I didn't like falling into his lap like that. What are you thinking he is your boss' son?' She thought picking up some disks she had dropped. With a little help from Max the mess was picked up rather fast.
"Naw it wasn't your fault. I wasn't watching where I was going." He replied offhandedly handing her the disks. 'Although I didn't mind running into her. Wait, don't think like that she's your mom's assistant.' He mentally punched himself. He smiled before walking off to find something to do.
Emily watched as he walked down the hallway. She mentally scolded herself for thinking that way about her boss' son. Sure he was cute, optimistic, and didn't let much dampen his happy attitude on life. Sometimes she wondered what could possibly make him feel sad or angry, then again she would hate the day she saw him express an emotion then happiness.
She slowly turned and began to walk down the hallway to Tay's room. Amazingly the two had formed a rather small truce. Normally if you watched the two they would be bickering or wouldn't even look let alone talk to one another. But for some reason they started to work on this project together. It was one to enhance the bladers' beyblades and for the most part it was going fine. She stopped at Tay's door and looked back watching as the blonde Blade Breaker turned the corner. "See something you like?" A voice from behind her asked and she nearly jumped three feet into the air. She looked to the door and found Tay leaning on the doorframe watching her with sharp blue eyes. 'They remind me of a hawk's eyes.' Emily thought for a second then shook her head. "Really I could have sworn you were staring at the blonde blue-eyed cutie of the Blade Breakers' just a minute ago." Tay said smoothly only for Emily to growl.
"I was not!" The tennis player almost yelled at Tay but kept her voice to an angry whisper.
"Whatever you say, Emily, whatever you say." Tay said with a shrug and soon both girls went threw the door shutting it behind them.
Max mentally winced when he pictured what Mel would say when she found out. Oh, boy he could picture it as if it was happening right at that very moment. 'Mel would somehow sneak up behind me and then most likely say, "Oh look Maxie someone likes you." Then I would be subjected to relentless teasing by her.' He thought after listening to the girls' conversation. He sighed at turned but nearly run into Tala. 'Oh boy his luck was running out now. Tala was just as bad as Mel sometimes.' Max thought as he remembered his little bonding time with the Demolition Boys' captain.
~Flash back~
Max was walking down the hallway when he ran into Tala sending the poor Russian to the ground by accident. "Watch it!" Tala hissed as Max offered a helping hand.
"Jee, I'm really sorry. I wasn't watching were I was going." He apologized as Tala took the offered hand.
"Che, well watch where you're going next time." Tala shot at him coldly.
"Okay." Max said happily but out of the corner of his eye he saw Emily walk down another hall. He diverted his gaze to her and before he knew it he felt someone leaning on his shoulder.
"You like her don't you?" Tala asked with a smirk on his face. Max blinked then shook his head.
"No, I don't. She's my mom's assistant." He said but Tala's smirked curved into a small smile.
"You just said you did." The red head said still leaning on his shoulder slightly.
"What?" He had said completely befuddled.
"No, I don't. You used double negatives. So in reality you said I do." Tala informed him twisting the Blade Breaker's words for his own enjoyment.
"Oh would you shut up." He said and moved making Tala almost land on the floor again but some how managed to stay on his feet.
"Well if you don't want her I'll go after her," Tala said slyly, "after all she is kinda cute."
Max had turned around and looked at the red headed captain with a look that clearly said he was displeased with what he just heard. "You will not."
Tala's smile only grew as he leaned against the wall. "So you do like her." He said with a slight chuckle to his voice. Max tried his best to not blush and to not hit Tala over the head with something. Then his worst fears came true as Mel's head popped up from behind a large houseplant.
"I agree with Red on this one Maxie." She said with a devilish grin on her face. "And you know what you two would make a cute couple." She added her smile widening. "It makes me sick." She then said her smile turning into a frown. She stepped out from behind her hiding spot to join the two in the hallway out in the open.
"Oh come now, honestly you have some love in that black heart of yours." Tala said with a smile.
"Well let's see love in my vocabulary. Hmm? Oh yes, a big bunch of mush- mush crap that I don't want to deal with." She answered slowly saving Max from Tala's onslaught of teasing.
"Damn you're harsh." Tala muttered but then noticed that Max had taken the time to take off. Truth was he was just around the corner listening to the pair talk.
"This is a harsh world." Was all that he heard Mel say before he could hear her footsteps travel in the other direction.
~End Flashback~
Now there stood the same red head that had confronted him some time ago but now the shadow wasn't here to help him. What was he going to do? If the others found out...
"Oh hey there Max-a-Million." Tala said rubbing his hair a little bit. Since Tala was slightly taller then the blonde it was easy for Tala to see just over Max's head. "Thinking about her again?" The red head just had to add just to see Max's reaction. Max as if on cue blushed making Tala snicker slightly.
"Oh shut up." Max muttered somewhat happily, though he sounded more depressed then anything.
"You know Denial isn't just a river." Tala said putting a brotherly arm around Max's shoulder. (A/N: Yes, my cousins, use that line a lot. It is annoying but I'm putting it in there just to make them happy. So everybody smile.) Max was about to shrug Tala's arm off when the captain started to whisper something into his ear. Max nodded to some things backed away and shot glares at Tala for others. All and all Tala had a really great plan he hoped.

NOTE: You know, I was smiling then I read that I was supposed to, so I stopped.
