The next day Max went to school thoroughly expecting another boring year of books and homework to get between him and the car lot. As the day began his suspicions seemed to be proving correct. Max went to his first class and the teacher began speaking in a continuous monotonous done while Peej was whining about something, Max neither cared nor listened to hear what about, and Max was certain this would be the death of him. Class went like this and Max had begun to day dream when he noticed a beautiful young redhead sitting just a few seats away.
Max wanted to approach her as soon as class was over but chose instead to bide his time. He didn't know the first thing about talking to a girl and knew this was one deal he couldn't afford to mess up.
The school day continued uneventfully and at lunch Max and PJ sat down together.
"Hey Max, I don't like the way you've been cozying up to dad. It feels like ev..." PJ began to say but Max was already lost in thought staring across the lunch hall at that beauty."...MAX! Are you even listening!"
"Huh? what was that?" asked Max as PJ stired him from his stupor.
"I was saying... Ohhhh I get It." PJ said as noticed where Max was looking, a wry smile forming on his face, "Maxie has a girlfriend. What's her name?"
"I don't know. I hadn't asked yet."
"It's Roxanne." PJ, having actually paid attention during role-call, whispered in Max's ear.
