Chapter 7

I have to go to the Bathroom...

Later at skating rink:

"Here we are, Maxy. You don't mind if I call you that do you?" asked Cody.

"Oh, uh, no. She check her clock. 7:15. She could wait a while.

"Alright, you wait here, and I'll get us some skates" said Cody pointing to a bench.

As soon as Cody got back to the bench, Max told him she had to "got to the bathroom".

And with that, Max rushed out to meet Zack in the park next to the skating rink. She had left by way of an employee exit near the bathrooms. Once she reached the park, she spotted Zack waiting by a tree.

"Your late, baby" said Zack.

"Sorry. I had to go into the skating rink to use the restroom."

Then Zack whipped a bouquet of flowers from behind his back.

"Here you are" said Zack as he handed the flowers to Max.

"Thank you" just as they began to eat, she looked at her watch, and realized what time it was. Cody was probably wondering about her.

"Zack, will you excuse me. I have to use the restroom"

"Sure. I think the nearest one is in the skating rink."

"Thanks" said Max, getting up and heading towards the skating rink.

She came back in the employee door. Luckily, her older sister worked there, and so she stole a pass off of her. She quickly spotted Cody waiting on the same bench for her. She dashed into the bathroom, and made sure there was no evidence of food on her face. She then darted out and met Cody on the bench.

"Sorry, there was a line as long as the Grand Canyon" apologized Max

"That's okay. Come on, let's skate" said Cody, getting up and grabbing Max's hand.

"Wait, I don't have my skates on yet" said Max, plopping down on the bench.

"Oh yeah. Sorry" apologized Cody.

"That's okay"

Max hurriedly put her skates on.

"Come one, let's go" said Cody, grabbing her hand once more.

And together they skated across the floor, holding hands, and looking into each other's eyes. About fifteen minutes later, Max told Cody she had to go to the bathroom again. This time, she skated into the bathroom, removed her skates, hid them, and headed out to Zack in the park. Once she reached the park, she sat down, and began to explain to Zack why she took so long.

"Sorry, the line in there was as long as the Grand Canyon" apologized Max.

"Oh, no problem" said Zack.

Max began to eat the food which was rather good.

"Wow, Zack, this is really good. Who made it?" asked Max.

"Oh, Cody made it" said Zack, taking another bite of food.

"Oh" said Max.

"Now, your taking me to the dance right?" asked Zack.

"What dance?" asked Max startled.

"You know, the big upcoming school dance."

"Oh, that dance. I'm sorry, Zack, but someone already asked me."

"But I thought we were going out."

"They asked me before we were going out."

"Who?" asked Zack

"I'm not going to say. Besides, knowing your good looks, you'll definitely get asked" said Max, taking another bite of her food.

"True" said Zack admiring himself and fixing his hair in the mirror.

Max just rolled her eyes. Then she looked at her watch.

"Hey Zack, sorry, but I have to use the restroom again" said Max getting up and running towards the skating rink. Zack just shrugged and kept on eating and admiring himself. Max ran into the skating rink, threw on her skates, made sure there was no visible food, and skated out to Cody.

"Sorry. Another long line" apologized Max.

"That's okay."

Just then, the announcer announced an all couples skate. Cody looked at Max, and they both shrugged, and skated onto the main floor, holding hands.

"Hey Cody, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Will you go to the upcoming school dance with me?" asked Max.

"I'd love to" replied Cody, looking into her eyes, entranced.

And with that they continued the skate.

"Hey Cody, I gotta go again. Sorry."

And with that, Max ran off into the bathroom, took off her skates and hid them again, and ran out to the park. When she got back, Zack was still admiring himself.

"Sorry" apologized Max.

"That's okay" said Zack.

Just then, Max received a call on her cell phone. It was from her mom. Her brother had broken his foot and his arm, and her mom was coming to pick her up and take her to the hospital.

"Oh dear. I gotta go. Sorry, Zack" apologized Max.

"Why do you have to go?" asked Zack.

"I gotta go to the hospital" answered Max, running off towards the skating rink.

From there, she ran inside, and told Cody that she had to go and why. She thanked him for a wonderful night, and met her mom outside. 'What a night' she thought to herself, exhausted from running around all night.
