Chapter 6:

||Alex's POV||: My heart sank when I saw Melissa run away brokenhearted. I feel bad for her! Just to see Max break her heart like that, well not directly, but you know what I mean!

I would try to catch up to her but she's already at half the block, which is way too far for me! Up from the tables, Justin comes and asks me, "What happened to Melissa?"

I tell him, "Max lied to her about being a mortal." Justin paused, giving a small frown and then said, "Okay then!"

I open my mouth in disbelief and tell him, "Justin, we need to do something! I don't know about you but I find Melissa and Max a very good couple! You can see by the way they look at each other. You're the professor, do something! Plus, do you want Max to start dating another lunatic again?" I then hit him in the arm and he flinches.

"Ow," He exclaims, "I may be the professor, but there is no way I will un-rule that! Laws are made for a reason, you know, Alex!"

I open my mouth and say, "Well then what about you and Juliet? Me and Mason, huh? They're both monsters, yet they're dating us, wizards! It's the same as a wizard with a mortal."

He gives me a look and said, "Good point!"

I then can't believe I'm doing but I'm about to beg. "Justin, please," I say sadly, "Do it for them!"

He sighs and said, "Fine! What are we going to do?"

I open my mouth, but I can't find a strategy for it. I pause and then say, "I don't know but all I know is is that I'm gonna lecture, Max! Why don't you find photos of them happy for Max's stupid scrapbook."

I then walk upstairs and yell out, "Max!" I slam the door behind me and he flinches. "What?" He asks.

"You're an idiot!" I say. "Gee, what a nice thing to say!" He says sarcastically. I sigh and palmface my forehead. "How dare you lie to Melissa that you're a mortal! You broke her heart in half that she went home." Max stood up and asked, "Really? I made her cry?"

Justin then comes in with a stack of photos and said, "Here, Max! Photos of you and Melissa for your little scrapbook thingy." He throws it upon the table and Max glances through them.

He asked, "How did you get these? These weren't even taken!" Justin answers, "We're wizards! It's from the huge crystal ball in the lair."

His eyes began to water for once. "Max, are you crying?" I ask. He looks up and wipes them away. He then just silently walked to his room.

I look to Justin and ask him, "What are we going to do? Now he is brokenhearted too."

Justin takes out his wand and scratches his back with it. Ew, I think to myself, why does Juliet find this so attractive? A knock then came upon the door.

I open and there is Mason, in a nice green sweater vest and pants. He greets me, "Hey, Alex! I smelled a scent of cookies over here."

"Max and Melissa made them." I said.

Mason asked confusingly, "Max and who?" "Melissa," I answer, "Max's girlfriend, or at least not anymore! Max lied to her about being a mortal!"

Mason said, "Then why don't he just give up his powers for her? I mean, I haven't seen him use it really lately!"

My face lightened and said, "Mason, that's actually not a bad idea!"

||Melissa's POV||: I look out at the sunset, falling to darkness. I sigh and just close my eyes, letting peace come to me. I then hear my phone vibrate multiple times.

After the fifth time, I couldn't stand it. I turned on my phone to find five messages from Max.

Max: hey r u ok?

We need to talk.

Please talk to me!

I just ignored it. I went inside my room and closed my eyes. Tears fell through and dripped onto the bed covers. I sob quietly and cried myself to sleep.

||Max's POV||: I walk to my locker and open it. I exchange my books and finally see Melissa walk to her locker. She just looks at me and then opens up her locker.

I tell her, "You can't ignore me forever!" She slams her locker in front of me and leaves. I then see her with Robert. They both sit down on a bench and I can overhear their conversation.

Robert asks her what's wrong and Melissa just answers, "I just had a fight with Max." Robert then puts his arm around her shoulder, feeling her fishtail braid.

He leaned his head upon hers and rubbed her left shoulder for comfort. He said, "It's alright, Melissa! Well you know who is single? This guy.." He then points to himself, starting to lean toward her lips.

I then walked up to him and grabbed the collar of his shirt. I bring him close to me and started clenching my fists. A crowd of student then make a huge circle around us. Melissa stands up, building up panic inside.

Rage rises up inside me and next thing you know, I throw Robert a punch. I just gave him a black eye and he started to run away. Melissa looked at me grievously and just quickly fast-walked to class without saying a word.

||Melissa's POV||: School was just terrible today! I mean Robert was just leaning a nice shoulder on me, well until I saw that kiss coming towards me. My phone then beeps from Max.

Max: Fine, if u don't want to tlk right now, i'm fine with that. Tonight at 8 pm, come to the park and meet me at the fountain. If u come, great, but if u don't, I guess it's officially over and I'll stop bothering u.

My eyes look at the screen and I think in my mind, Should I really come? I sigh and hear wings flap down behind me. "I told you so," Holly says from behind, "Are you going because you have less than fifteen minutes and it takes 20 minutes to get to the park!"

I raise an eyebrow and ask curiously, "Were you sneaking through my phone in the sky? How is that even possible?"

She chuckles and says, "It's one of my vampire abilities!" Hmm... I wish I could be a vampire!

Holly then says, "Melissa, I don't want to see you hurt! Are you ready to move on?" I pause, thinking for a minute, and then shake my head. Holly then spreads her wings and says, "Hop on! I'll fly you there!"

I hesitantly land on her back and she starts soaring through the sky. The wind blows through my hair, making my straight hair flow so thin.
