I couldn't believe Zander would lie about Max! And I thought I actually liked him... Anyways, I was on my way to the library, where Max would obviously be.
"Hey Max. Can I sit over here?" I say as I approach his table.
"Go ahead baby," he says and reads a few pages of his book. "What's wrong?" he asks me noticing how sad I am.
"Zander thinks you are working with the Perfs." I blurt. I cover my hand over my mouth hoping he didn't hear me. He tenses up and looks at me. Too late.
"I am not working with the Perfs." he says believably. To tell you, I can tell when people are lying. Somehow, some way, I just know. Even though I know he is lying, I go along with it.
"So where were you during lunch?" I ask him.
"In here?" he says nervously. Maybe I could get something out of him. Time to mess with his mind.
"No you weren't. I came to look for you here at the beginning of lunch. You weren't here." I say. He starts sweating. I mentally smirk at him.
"I... Uh... Okay. I was at the science lab helping Ms. green dissect frogs for the 7th graders." he says. I could tell he was lying again.
"No you weren't. You were in the perf bathroom, weren't you?" I say to him. Maybe Zander was actually right this time.
"No?" he says.
"Explain yourself, or I will use Kevin's duct tape. Extra strong." I say taking the roll of duct tape out.
"Okay. Want to know why I've been working with the Perfs? They said they would help me gain popularity if I got you to fall in love with me. Unfortunately, you weren't falling in love. I was." he says. I was shocked. He likes me?
"You did it for popularity?" I ask him shocked.
"I've been an outsider forever. Do you know how hard it is to resist the opportunity to have popularity when you have been an outcast your whole life? Have you ever thought of being a perf once? Have you ever longed for popularity? It hurts Stevie. To be an outsider." he asks me.
"I have thought of being a perf once. That is, until I figured out who they really are. I know what it's like to be a outcast." I say.
"I'm so sorry Stevie if I hurt you. I truly like you, and I hope you can forgive me." Max says.
"You think I'm just going to forgive you? That I'm going to fall for it? I'm out of here." I say as I leave. Max decides to follow me out the door.
"Stevie, I'm sorry." he says following me.
"Don't-" I say before he crashes his lips to mine.

I was headed for the library to apologize to Stevie. As I head towards the library, I see them kissing. It broke my heart. I guess she liked Max. I decided to go. They would like it alone.
(Stevie)
Max just kissed me, and the moment his lips are off of mine, I slap him.
"Hey!" he says holding his cheek.
"You just think I'm going to melt in your arms, huh pretty boy?" I say getting my duct tape ready.
"I have no idea how to answer that question." he says. I take out my duct tape, and the moment he sees it, he starts running. Luckily, I'm much faster. I tackle him to the ground, and you know what happens next. Duct tape goes everywhere.
"A teacher will find you soon." I say and leave. So it was a little cruel of me to just leave him there. But it was cruel of him to try to make me fall in love with him. He was just going to dump me like that. Middle school sucks.
