" Hey sis " Maxon said as he put his tray of food on the table we sit at lunch in school.. when I say we, I mean I and Maxwell ..
" Oh hi, why are you sitting here today? " I asked him frowning as I picked on my food.
" Hey Maxy " Maxon said to Maxwell, well its not new. He calls Maxwell Maxy. Well they both have Max in front of their names. At first watching them exchange nicknames felt kind of cliche and I almost thought they were gay partners but later on I just got used to the names.
" Hey xon" Maxwell said with a smile. I sighed again.
" So back to my question, why are you sitting at our table instead of yours? " I asked as I put a spoon of salad in my mouth.
" Dad said not to eat with food in your mouth " he started with a smirk.
" Get out " I said and he chuckled putting his hands up in surrender.
" Okay so guess what! The hot girl goes to our school " he said smiling.
" You said guess!. plus you sound super disgusting . stop squeaking like a girl " I said.
" Stop squeaking like a girl " Maxon mimicked me then smirked, I rolled my eyes at him.
" Who is hot girl?. What am I missing ? " Maxwell asked
" Max's new pet " I muttered
" She is not a pet. " He countered
" Whatever " I said and frowned
" And she is also in my calculus class, also in my geography class and she sits right in front of me and plus she has a really cute name... Crystal" he said smiling.
" Yay.. Now get up and go to your table " I said showing less interest in his topic.
" Oh wow you broke my heart. You could have pretended to be interested at least. Now I won't tell you the grand finale " he said getting up.
" Oh I'm hurt " I said sarcastically.. " now leave!! " I said half smiling . Maxon gave me a smile before holding his tray and then he walked away.
" Someone is in a bad mood " maxwell said .
" Well why won't I be?. I'm already struggling with everything as it is now I also have to monitor a new handsome guy " I said.
" Handsome?? " Max said smiling.. " Unbelievable I refuse to believe that you aren't happy " he added.
" Okay I am but its still too much to handle. Who knows if he is also terrible at studying and Mr Hayward also begs me to tutor him too " I said
" Then call me to help. You know I'm always going to be there for you " he said smiling and immediately I could feel my cheeks rise up as I blushed.
" Okay now stop blushing weirdo " he said laughing.
" I wasn't blushing you idiot " I said as I punched his shoulder.
" Ouch!! " He said then he smiled.
" I know that didn't hurt so don't pretend " I said then I stood up.
" Okay okay. Where are you going? " He asked puzzledly . I just smiled at him as I packed my bags.
" I'm going to P.E class " I said rolling my eyes.
" I can't believe I don't have that class with you " he said frowning.
" Why do you bother about P.E class. I hate it, the only thing they do is do sports and run around in their pants .. Perverts " I said making a boring face.
" Well I would definitely love P.E class since I know you would be wearing shorts " he said smirking.
" Stop flirting with me idiot. People will think you are my boyfriend " I said copying the same phrase he used on me this morning as I stuck my tongue out at him..
" I don't mind being one " he said then he winked at me. I frowned as I ran out of the cafeteria.
"Dummy, I knew she was going to blush" he said smiling..
After I entered the hallways, I paused to steady myself. I could hear Maxwell's words over and over again in my head. I couldn't stop myself from blushing and neither could I stop myself from getting angry too. Why does he always say these words playfully. Its annoying that he does not know how much those words and every other ones he has said have such big effects on me.

After changing into my P.E shorts and top, I rushed out of the changing room in a hurry so as not to miss the runups when I hit something..
Okay someone. My eyes shot wide open as I felt myself falling backwards and it's gonna hurt real bad if I hit my butt on the hard tiled floor. I shut my eyes and waited patiently for the fall when a pair of strong hands close around my waist and pull me up. Who?.
I opened my eyes and stared blankly into the baby blue eyeballs staring back at me. Still in that position, I began to blink rapidly, I could feel my heart thumping hard against my chest... He was the guy from calculus class.
" I'm sorry " we both said at the same time and like an idiot, I blushed then bit my lips.
" I should have " we both said again. Now this is so awkward I couldn't help but laugh as he also laughed revealing his dimples.
Kill me.
" Go first " I said still in the position we were, his hands still around my waist and mine still holding his shirt tight.
" I was looking for the changing room. I have P.E class and i just bumped into you. I'm sorry" he said scratching the back of his head.
" Oh its just behind you.... Behind me I mean " I said stammering . idiot... Scarlett...idiot... Did you have you stammer now??
What a nice way to talk to a hot guy.
" I could show you around but you are still holding... " I said and stared at his hands around my waist.
" Oh sorry " he interrupted me then he let go of my waist. I stood up right and smiled at him again.d show you around but you are still holding... " I said and stared at his hands around my waist.
" Thanks " I muttered" Its okay, I wasn't watching where I was going either and the changing room is there " I said pointing ." Should I wait for you because I also have P.E class now " I said fumbling with my hands. " Yes please wait " he said then he walked pass me into the changing room . I didn't realize I was holding my breath the whole time till he left and I exhaled.. God!!!." Oh my God I thought I was going to die! He is so handsome " I whispered . maybe being around him wouldn't be so bad after all...FEW MINUTES LATER::::::" let's go " he said smiling as he came out of the dressing room. He wore sweat pants and a thick shirt revealing his arm muscles.I blinked again." Yummy.. I mean yeah " I said quietly and as if he caught me checking him out, he smirked at me." I didn't get a proper introduction in calculus class today " he said as we walked back into the hallways He remembers" I'm Scarlett " I said smiling as I held my hands out for an handshake." Xavier " he
" Bye honey " dad said as he pecked me on the head. As soon as Maxon closed the door, I smiled..We have the house to ourselves." Isn't it great that we have the the house to ourselves " I asked both dork 1( Maxwell) and dork 2( Maxon)." It isn't exactly to ourselves... " Maxon said as he stood up quietly. I stared at him and I stood up too." Why?. What did you do.. You this idiot " I yelled as Maxon ran upstairs." Why you little rat.. I will kill you.. You are good as dead if I . " I was interrupted by the doorbell. As I moved to check who was there." Dad what did you for.. " I said and stopped as I stared at the blue eye balls staring back at me with the same puzzled look I had on my face.Why the hell do we always meet like this. " What are you. You doing here? " I asked as I kept on staring at him." Hi I'm Crystal " a chirpy tiny voice broke my trance. So I turned to stare at the girl beside him. She had exactly Xavier's eyes just that hers was deeper, you know like this b
The next day, School periods went on so fast that now I was in the third period, literature class, my favourite. I frowned as Mr Henderson started talking about a drama play. Don't get me wrong I love literature but sometimes I love food more. Why can't we just do some class work. I mean I already have history project with Robbie, I have a calculus practical to submit next week and I'm sure Mr Hayward had already paired me with either Xavier or Maxwell. I just want to sleep or better still, eat lunch. When will the fucking bell ring!!!." Miss Evans " Dad had already packed lunch for me, peanut butter sand wish cut in different shapes. So cute!. I mean best dad right?" Miss Evans!! " Mr Henderson yelled and I looked up at him, I know where this is going and I hate it already." Yes? Mr Henderson" I managed to say . trust me I would have looked for pretty lots of excuses to get myself out of this tension but it doesn't help when all eyes were on me. I mean, how am I fucking suppos
" Are you mad at me or something? " Maxwell asked that evening as he burst into my room..Don't be surprised. Yes I haven't spoken to him since Ava sat on his laps. Don't blame me I don't know what to say." Oh fuck!! Jesus! " I yelled then I saw Maxwell.." You scared me , didn't anyone teach you how to knock on doors? " I asked as I rolled my eyes. What the hell was he doing here. I'm sure as hell that I didn't invite him over. I didn't even call him, where is my phone?" Well you left during lunch.. Wait,let me rephrase that,you stomped out on me during lunch,didn't come to calculus class and you told Mr Hayward that you were sick, you were perfectly fine during lunch. I checked in with the nurse and she doesn't even know you. Then you and Maxon basically bailed on me after school. You don't even have a car so you guys either took the bus or walked home and I have been calling your cell since but you aren't picking nor were you replying my texts so here I am " he said frowning as
As I walked into calculus class everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to me abruptly. Wow, thanks for the warm welcome." Miss Evans you are late " Mr Hayward said turning from the board to face me. What do I say? What do I say?." Miss Evans" he called again. Oh I hate my life." I had problems with my tampon " I said. Oh my God kill me on the spot. Did I just say tampons?.. Ahh God." That's a very personal word " he said and I could hear a few of the guys saying gross while the girls smiles at my embarrassment." But you asked what I was doing " I said frowning." Just take your seat Scarlett " he said before turning back to the board." Yes thank you " I said politely before staring at the class, looking for an empty seat.. One that I could disappear into like one that leads to mars or Venus. Anywhere but earth." Scarlett. Have your seat " Mr Hayward said again and I sighed. The only seats empty were three. One beside Maxwell where we usually sat and two by the back
I wake up to the vibrating sound under my pillow. Was dad using the lawn mower again?. I told him not to. Wait, I can't be vibrating due to a lawn mower when my bedroom is upstairs.. It has to be something else. Maybe if I ignore it would go away. I close my eyes and pull the blanket over my head. Grrrrrrr Grrrrrrr." Why does the universe hate me! "I yelled as I pulled my pillow up. Oh it was my phone. I sat up from bed and picked it up, the first thing I saw was the time. 5:30pm, woah I slept far too long.Dad and maxon should be back now. I scroll through the phone, I see thirty five missed calls. Woah.. One from dad, two from maxon, five from one unknown number.. Who?. A lot from Maxwell. I ignore all and go straight to my messages.DadHoney, are you alright?.MaxyScar are you mad at me?.Did I do something? Do you want me to come over?.Are you unwell?.I'm confused You better be confused I'm freaking mad at you. I really should replace the love emoji with poop. I frown and
After dinner I and Xavier offered to wash the dishes. Well I offered to wash the dishes while Xavier's mum forced him to help me since I didn't know where everything would go after I washed them. On the other hand crystal was showing maxon around the house while my dad and his mum were talking in the living room." So.. " Xavier said.. Uhmm.. Me??Yes you!!!!" Yes? " I said as I looked up at him. Did I tell you that he was 6ft 2in like Maxwell which means he is super taller than me. I'm just 5ft 8in. " Well tell me about you " he said smiling. Oh god why does his smile still put me in a trance every single time." I have a boring life. " I said " It doesn't matter, I want to know anything about you " he said and I blushed. Stupid!!!!" Okay then. Well you have met my crazy family " I muttered." I like them. They look nice " he said and smiled at me. I smiled back." Well my life is pretty boring. My mum left us when I was ten. So its been just me Maxon and dad. I have a best fr
" What the hell! You scared the shit out of me! " I yelled as I turned to face maxwell. He chuckled." Wow that's a lot of curse words. I didn't know you could curse like that " he said smiling as he put his hands into his pocket, curse me if I think that gesture is hot but it is. I can't believe I'm still attracted to him." Well I don't think we are friends. If you will excuse me I'm hungry. " I said and turned but he pulled me back." What! " I yelled at him." Scar something is wrong. You are ignoring my texts and my calls and everything and you aren't even talking to me. Did I do something? " He asked and I stared at him in bewilderment. " Did you do something?. Are you seriously asking me that right now ?. You kissed me maxwell, you kissed me Friday night. That was four days ago. You kissed me and you left. No calls no texts nothing and you ignored me for days, then you kissed Ava again and that kiss was my first kiss and you know it and I didn't get an explanation or whateve
