Authors Note: To answer your question Flash, no. I am 17 and still in
High School. Although I am taking a sociology class but I started this
story back in August. So yeah. ( Enjoy the chap. P.S.: Sorry for grammar
mistakes...lol. Deffinitly not one with the dictionary.
*-*
Max slammed her locker shut. Fuck him. Fuck everyone.
"Hey Boo."
Max jumped and turned with a small, forced, smile, "Hey Cindy. 'sup?"
"Nuthin much boo, just hangin' in there. You came home late last night, what's shakin'?"
Max shook her head, "Nothing. Nothing happened."
Cindy rolled her eyes, "Girl, you know you can't lie to Original Cindy. Be straight with me... Somethin's eatin' you boo and I wanna know what it is."
Max felt a strange feeling come over her. This very conversation made her feel almost like nothing had ever happened. Just normal talk between two friends about some dick-ass of a guy. Max took a seat on the bench and made sure no one was listening.
"That shit... That happened to me in... Yeah." She had yet to come out and say what it was that was done to her in Manticore. Mostly because she did not like talking about it. The other half because it scared her shitless to think that somebody was able to get under her skin and nearly kill her.
Cindy nodded, "Go on girl."
"Surveillance was taken" She struggled through the words. She felt awkward and ashamed that this conversation was even taking place. "Delivery for Logan the other day... His hacker self got a hold of the videos..."
Cindy took in a breath, "He didn't..."
"Yeah." Was all Max could state.
Cindy sighed, "See, this is why Cindy goes chicks all the way. Guys just make things worse when they try to understand their girls."
Max closed her eyes, "He watched them." She whispered.
Cindy's eyes got wide; she laid an arm around Max's shoulders and pulled her towards her. "Oh Boo..."
Max just flopped her hands expressively and shrugged, "Why? What a dumb- ass..."
Cindy rubbed her friends shoulder, offering comfort.
She knew that this had to be difficult to face what Manticore did to her. Cindy whispered, "Yes he is. He doesn't have a right to go behind your back like that suga, but he did anyway."
There was nothing more that she could say, Max knew that and never expected her to say anything else. The two just sat in silence as Max felt the anger and frustration rise in the pit of her stomach. Then she spoke, "I feel so stupid."
"What?" Cindy asked, startled by the statement.
Max continued, "I mean, I am such a dumb-fuck for getting my ass nabbed... Again. You don't think I was over reacting do you?" She asked, now unsure of herself for the first time in her life. I can't believe this shit has happened to me...
"Not at all." Cindy smiled and continued, "That boy gotta learn to not sniff around in your business no matter what it is. We aren't exactly sure what happened to you back there and I give him props for trying to find out, but he just went about it the wrong way."
Max took a breath and sighed. "Why are men such dumb-asses when they try to make things better in an already bad situation?"
"Don't know suga. It's the way their mind is set somehow." Cindy shrugged. "Logan is just concerned is all. You gotta know he didn't mean to hurt you so bad."
"But he did." Max said flatly.
More silence followed and then a quirky voice came from no where.
"Max! Hey, so this is where you work! Guess we're gonna be partners in crime!"
Max rolled her eyes, "Oh shit."
"What is it suga?" OC asked as she turned her head.
Then a blond headed, attractive young guy flashed his cynical smile, "Hey Max." He repeated.
"Don't tell me Normal hired your ass." Max stated.
"Awww, is that any way to treat your uh..."
Max cut him off for introductions, "Alec- Cindy. Cindy-Alec... AKA: Smart Ass of America." The voice inside of Max's skull came alive once more, Could the day get any more trashed?
"Hey Boo."
Max jumped and turned with a small, forced, smile, "Hey Cindy. 'sup?"
"Nuthin much boo, just hangin' in there. You came home late last night, what's shakin'?"
