A/N: disclaimers same as chapter 1. Review.
The next morning Evan walked into the cafeteria and scanned the room, looking to see if Max was there; but he couldn't find her. Sighing, he made his way further into the room and picked up a mug of coffee and snagged a bagel. Sitting down, he hoped that Max showed up soon.
A few minutes after Evan sat down Max came walking in with Lydia and Crysta. They each grabbed a cup of coffee or tea (Max was the only one who got tea) and sat down together.
"You stood him up?" Crysta asked, eyes wide.
"Speak of the devil…" Lydia commented as she spotted Evan getting up and walking towards them.
"Great." Max said, feeling her face start to heat up.
"Ladies." Evan said walking up to them.
"Major." Lydia and Crysta said while Max just stared intently at her cup.
"How's it going?"
"Not bad. Enjoy the movie last night?" Lydia asked.
Evan shrugged and replied, "It was alright, I have to admit that I didn't pay that much attention."
Lydia and Crysta shared a glance while Max wished that the floor would swallow her.
"I think that that's our cue to leave." Crysta said, standing.
"See you later Max." Lydia said as she stood as well.
"Bye." Max said softly as they walked away. "So..." she trailed off.
"About last night." Evan finished.
"I'm sorry; I was soaking and fell asleep."
"Really?" Evan asked, quirking an eyebrow.
Max nodded, "I guess I was more tired than I thought."
Evan slowly nodded his head. He could understand the feeling; there had been times where he had been so tired that he had fallen asleep before he had even gotten in bed.
"I'm really really sorry. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" Max asked.
Evan thought for a bit and smiled as an idea came to him.
"You're smiling, should I be worried?"
"No. You can make it up to me by going with me to next week's movie."
"Anything else?"
Leaning towards Max, Evan smiled and said, "Just drink lots of coffee beforehand." He then stood and, still smiling, strolled into the hallway.
Max smiled and watched him leave. Finishing the rest of her tea, Max got up and, after a quick stop to pick up her bag, headed towards the Jumper bay to start another school day.
