[Max's POV]

As we drove up into the school parking lot, I saw the screaming girls waving frantically by the gate. I let out a soft groan, somehow being in the car with my mom seemed more appealing than stepping out.

“Wow” my mom giggled-the first time she's actually cracked a smile in my presence “Someone's popular”

I sighed stepping out of the car “Bye mom”

“Try and find yourself a lovely girl!” she shouted before driving off

The ground shook as maybe 30, 40 girls ran up towards me- I held my ground and squeezed my eyes shut as I felt the close proximity of 30 odd people huddle around me

“YOU LOOK SO CUTE TODAY!” One girl screamed out

“WHY'S YOUR ARM IN A CAST?” another one shrieked. I didn't bothering replying since everything was such a blur.

“OH GOD MAX I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!” Now I didn't know who this girl who was screaming in my face was but I smiled and she after one death defying hug I'd had enough. I tried to look over the crowd but there was no use.

I groaned already tired “Ladies please”

[Erick's POV]

Oversleeping on the first day.

Great.

Didn't mean I rushed to school. When you're late you're late right?

I pulled out my phone and called him since it was break time.

Ring Ring Ring...

I banged my head lightly against the head rest. Was I surprised?

Nope. He's been avoiding my calls and text messages

Why?

Had no fucking idea.

How has this left me?

Fucking sleep deprived.

Ring Ring Ring...You have reached the number of 323- I hung up the phone, I guess I was going to see him in my next lesson and considering the day and time that lesson would be English

My thoughts were quickly interrupted by eager tapping on my window

“FUCK!” I shouted grabbing my chest. I don't know who the fuck it was but some chick had a face squashed right up against my window, looking at the passenger seat there were more girls trying to look through. Why it always the desperate ones?

I pressed the button that scrolled down both windows and I instantly regretted it. There was shrieking and screaming girls hollering my name. What the hell is going on?

I chuckled as it hit me first day of school.

Of course.

The girls have clearly missed me. I grinned smug

“Hey, Erick- How comes you never came to my party!?” one girl breathed out as the others tried to desperately push her out of the way

“Or mine!?” another girl called out from the passenger window

“Commitments” was all I could say. They probably would of known what I meant if Max's story aired on the news, which it would have if my Dad didn't make threatening calls to channel 5.

I opened my car door pushing some girls aside and before you knew there were girls running towards me trying to get a touch

“Not today” I said in my most threatening voice. They quickly stopped some even bumping into each other. “I'm definitely not in the mood for this” they quickly parted like the red sea and goddamit did I feel like Moses.

Time to find out what's going on with my boyfriend.

[Max's POV]

“Thank God” I breathed to myself, Maths was extra hard today. It's just one thing or the other with this place. I still can't believe I got out of that crowd alive.

As I walked down the busy corridors to my locker, I watched out for Erick because I was avoiding him and looked out for Darren because I wanted to speak to him, he's been so distant lately. I received a lot hi's and nods as I walked to my locker still no sign of Darren unfortunately and thank goodness no sign of Erick either.

I started taking my heavy books out of my bags as I got closer to my locker. I couldn't see very well but there was someone leaning next to it....

It was Erick. I sighed- he looked so good today. His hair still looked wet and dishevelled but good at the same time. He was wearing a bright white fitted shirt that literally clung onto his body. If I was wearing that shirt it would probably hang off me like a dress.

I laughed at the thought.

I wondered what he wanted.

But I knew though

he was going to ask me why I haven't been picking up phone

maybe I should tell him I lost my cat

but then again I don't have a cat

I think I might kill myself though if he brings up the love topic again. That's why I've been avoiding him

As I got closer to him, my heart started picking up haste and my breathing became shallow he did this to me all the time.

His eyes were closed like he was sleeping and his arms were crossed with his head leaning against the lockers. I watched as the other girls looked at him in awe and lust, I couldn't help but feel a tiny bit jealous.

He didn't take note of me when I was right next to him. He must have been really tired? I didn't take any measures to find out. Opening my locker as quietly as I could I put my textbooks away and took out my English ones. I closed my locker again as quietly as possible

“Max?”

not quietly enough though.

“Oh hey” I smiled awkwardly looking at the ground

I felt his eyes burn into my face, I knew he was trying to figure me out.

He finally sighed breaking the silence “I've hurt your feelings again haven't I?”

“No you haven't” I mumbled. There was an awkward silence hanging in the air none of us looking at each other

“Is it because I said I loved you?” he looked around the packed halls with a pained and embarrassed expression “because you know if you don't feel the same way I could stop or...we could just call a break or something” he sighed deeply rubbing his left temple “I don't know, you never tell me what you want”

I opened my mouth to say something I had no idea about. The bell rang and I closed my mouth again. He stared at me his green eyes burning into mine. I opened my mouth again but again nothing came out. So I did what I always do

I ran away from my problems.

Quickly weaving myself in out of people I kept on speed walking till Erick's calls couldn't be hear anymore.

Why did I find it so hard to say something!

I quickly walked into the empty changing rooms. I ran my hand through my hair. “Why am I such a freak!?” I groaned to myself,

“Max?” I jumped startled not taking notice there was someone else in the room. The hooded boy was sitting on the floor. It wasn't until I took a proper look at him I realised who it was

“Darren?”

[Darren's POV]

I watched the smile quickly spread across his face as he realised it was me. I knew I could I make him smile like that all the time.

But I've lost.

He came and took a seat next to me, our shoulders brushed together and it sent shivers down my whole body.

He sighed looking off into the distance “You okay?” I asked

“Yep...just annoyed”

“Annoyed?”

“So fucking annoyed at myself” he lightly smacked his head against the wall. “I seem to be finding it difficult to get my feelings and my mouth to work together”

“Sounds serious” I murmured not really sure what to make of what's going on “Wanna talk about it?”

“Nah not really” he gave me a small smile “I wanna talk about you”

“Me?” I questioned starting to feel uneasy about what was going to come next

“Yeah” he nodded the small smile disappearing “You seem...” he looked up thinking about his next choice of words

“unhappy and...distant” he stated his gaze finally meeting mine

“why would you say that?” I asked pretending to look shock “I'm not unhappy”

“Dude you are sitting on the floor of the changing rooms with your hood up and face in your lap. I know unhappy when I see it” his beautiful eyes seemed laced with concern as he waited for me to reply

“You're not going to like it” I admitted

“I don't care” he shot me a half smile

I gripped onto his hand tightly, his eyes opened in surprise but he didn't say anything.

My breathing became shallow as I thought about what I was going to say next.

“The thing is Max, I've been feeling a certain way about you fir a long time and it hasn't really gone away you know?”

Max began to slowly get up avoiding eye contact “Maybe you're right...maybe I won't like what you're going to say” I rose up as well grabbing tightly onto his wrist

“I love you Max, probably more than Erick ever will”

he stared at me face blank “How do you expect me to reply Darren?”

“You don't need to reply-Just give me a chance” I pleaded

He narrowed his eyes at me backing away “Dude you know I can't do that- I'm with Erick”

“You think I don't know that!?” I breathed out, gripping tighter onto his wrist I yanked him towards me “That's why I've been so distant, keeping my self away from you but it's only made things worse”

“I-I can't” he whispered not looking at me any more, I grabbed onto his chin lightly and turned his head so he was looking at me now. His eyes were glossed over.

“Why are you upset?” I whispered

“I don't want to hurt your feelings” he whispered in return

“Then don't” I soothed as he closed his eyes tightly, willing himself not to get upset. I bent my head lower. His eyes fluttered open, when he realised I was coming closer. He was shaking his head he knew what I wanted but he wasn't fighting back. I knew Max had a soft spot for me, whether it was love or friendship I didn't know I also knew that deep down Max found it harder to say no to me than he did to Erick. Was I taking advantage of him? I ignored my thoughts and did what I had been dying to do for a long time. I gripped onto the back of his neck with my other hand and kissed him. I could hear his muffled struggles in my mouth but I pressed down harder the tears pouring freely from my eyes, it was then I knew I really loved this kid. For a moment I thought he kissed me back but it was caught short when he managed to free his hand from my grip and push me away.

He left the room not saying a word but deliberately slamming the door behind him

[Max's POV]

No No No No No I thought to myself as I rushed down the now empty corridors, the horrible feeling of deja vu washed over me. I walked straight pass my class and outside into the parking lot

“Fuck!” I hissed when I realised I didn't have my car. Whipping out my phone from my pockets, I only had one name in my mind, well two. Quickly scrolling over her name I dialled

after two rings someone picked up

“Y'ello?” there was loud music playing in the background.

“Serenity?” I whispered trying to stop my voice from breaking “Where are you?”

“Trinity turn the music off!”

“Why hoe!?” Trinity shouted in the background “You know I love my Katy Perry!”

“It's Max” the music went off almost immediately “You're on loudspeaker”

“Where are you?” I asked again, scared a teacher might catch me

“home, where are you?”

“School. Please pick me up” I mumbled

“okay” Serenity replied not questioning why she was breaking me out . I ran up to my school gates staring at the empty road in front of me.

…........................................................

I waited for about half an hour before the yellow Jeep pulled up right in front of the school gates, Trinity quickly jumped out and I climbed in sitting comfortably in the middle.

“Back to our place?”

“Sure”

as we pulled away Serenity started the conversation

“So care to explain what's going on?”

I sighed resting my head on Trinity's shoulder, she patted my head lightly

“Where to begin?” I murmured not really sure if I was talking to them or myself

“Anywhere you like” Trinity replied

“Erick tells me he loves me and I can't say it back”

“Yikes” Trinity hissed

Serenity chuckled “Shit doesn't get any more awkward than that”

“I'm so stupid” I groaned I buried my head into Trinity's lap causing her to giggle

“You're like a puppy!” she ruffled my hair and started tickling my face.

“I swear you get more retarded everyday Trinity”

“Whatever” she continued playing with my hair whilst the conversation turned back to me

“You may have hurt his ego...” Serenity began

“And his feelings no doubt” Trinity continued

“But if you don't love him you don't love him” Serenity finished

“I never loved Chris but I was able to say it to him. I mean I can't even begin to tell you how Erick makes me feel.” I gazed up at Trinity who was giving her sister a knowing smile

“What?” I narrowed my eyes at her getting suspicious

“Nothing!” she grinned

“You'll come to realise it on your own” Serenity smiled softly not taking her eyes on the wheel

“Realise what?” I questioned dumbly

“What you've been confused about, Duh”

“I'm missing something?”

“Oh yes young one something indeed” Trinity responded

leaving me completely baffled I asked “Do you guys enjoy talking in riddles?”

“Only when we're feeling cryptic” Serenity grinned waggling her tongue

We all burst out laughing, it wasn't even that funny.

“Aw man traffic” Serenity moaned

I sat up to see the hundreds of cars sitting idly in place

“Looks like we're gonna be here for a while” I sighed

“Yep and it's all your fault” Trinity groaned poking my cheek

“My fault!?” I gasped shocked “How is it my fault?”

She laughed “Are you crazy!? You're the one who asked us to pick you up we thought something more serious had happened”

My smile soon disappeared as I remembered what happened in the changing rooms

“ooooh something more serious did happen!” she poked my cheeks faster “tell, tell, tell!”

“Ok!” I winced as I rubbed my cheeks, taking a deep breath I confessed

“Darren kissed me”

there was silence, I didn't look at either of the girls before finishing “and for a second, I lost myself and kissed him back”

“Max!” Serenity shouted looking at me like I was child who did something naughty

“Man oh Man you are screwed”

“N-not really!” I protested “I mean he doesn't have to know”

“Of course he does. You're going to tell him anyway I mean look at you, the guilts eating you up already, how about you be a man about it and tell him sooner”

I sighed “You're right”

Resting back in my seat I continued “I'm so screwed”
