Chapter 2

Saturday

I was waiting at the entrance of the mall for my girlfriend and she was late by an hour.

I decided to call her and when she picked up I said, "Where are you? I've been waiting at the mall for an hour."

"Huh what are you talking about? Oh I'm sorry Nicky poo but I have plans. See you later."

I hated it when she called me that and was really pissed off that she forgot and had plans.

I started walking down the street until I saw a blur of blond hair pass by.

It reminded me of the girl Max but I didn't think it was her until I saw the girl wearing the same outfit when as Max when she was dancing on the stage.

I started running after her and saw her at a park crying.

She seemed to be mad and sad at the same time. All the feelings of me being angry disappeared and I was worried.

I ran closer to her.

She looked up and got all embarrassed but I told her "Its okay to cry."

"But I'm being stupid, I'm crying just because I'm the worst in my class and I just ran out because my teacher and classmates were teasing me because I was behind."

She put her head down and started crying.

I didn't know what to do but for some reason I started putting my arms around her until she stopped crying. It just seemed to be the right thing to do.

After she stopped crying she started blushing and said "thanks for cheering me up. You're Nick right from yesterday?"

"Yea. I know we just met but do you want to go get a drink or something from Starbucks, my treat."

"Sure I'd like that."

We started walking toward Starbucks and we learned a lot about each other. I found out we had a lot of things in common.

We reached Starbucks and got two plain black coffees. We both liked the sharp, bitter taste.

We sat down and just started talking about random stuff until she told me she had to get back to the studio.

"Thanks for helping me when I was crying and buying me the coffee."

"No problem and I was wondering if you wanted to do something tomorrow as friends."

"Okay. Here's my number."

We said bye and I felt a hell lot better than before.

A/N: I'm not sure if this chapter was really great but please comment and sorry if Max was too ooc. I think for the next chapter I'll put Max's POV about this whole thing and thanks for all the great comments.
