"Wait!" Max called out again. I turned around and looked at him, my hands hovering on the door knob.
"What?" I asked and crossed my hands behind my back to try and warm myself a little bit.
"Just keep this a secret!" he said but he seemed a bit unsure about it.
"But I -
I woke up the next day to the sound of my phone going off like crazy. Yawning, I did my usual stretch and winced as the memories of last night came rushing in my head. I barely wanted to move, let alone get my lazy ass out of my well comfy bed but I have school today and I know better than to try and skip.Anyway, who the hell is calling me at this time? It was six o'clock in the morning for god sake. Damn! I think it wouldn't shut up until I take the call. I just have to reply back. Yeah right. I reached for my phone on the side table.
I dragged myself out of bed and walked into my closet. On my way to the bathroom, I grabbed a white towel and shrugged my shirt off, leaving my chest bare. I brushed my teeth as fast as possible and hopped into the shower. As I turned on the water and let the hot steam surround me, I started humming 'Love yourself' by Justin Bieber. I pretended like I was some international pop star as I danced around in the shower, throwing water here and there."Nice moves you got there, babe." his voice boomed as he walked into my bathroom like he owned the place. What the hell?
"WHAT?!" I screeched aloud and shot up from my seat, nearly knocking my chocolate milkshake down."Calm down, sis." Alex cried out loud and pulled me back in my seat."No, wait a second." I said more calmly but couldn't stop jumping in my seat."Will you just please take a chill pill?" Max suddenly exc
"This girl is just impossible." Alex cried while pulling at his hair in frustration.What the hell?"Excuse me? For your kind information, I'm not impossib -"Shelly, listen to me. Will you just calm down and talk like a girl your age?" Max whispered as if he was talking to a five year old.
"What do you mean?" I cried out in disbelief and got up shakily.Mylifeisindanger.Mylifeisindanger butwhy?"Shelly, listen to me -” Max grabbed my left arm and shook it slightly. I looked up to find him staring at me worr
Right then, some awful and horrible thought crossed my mind when Alex swerved the car to drive into the parking lot of St-Xavier high school, making me actually say or rather scream something breaking the silence in the car which had been lingering between us for the whole ride."Shoot, stop!" I cried out loud and waved my hands at Alex to stop the car. Alex jumped and pressed the brake all at once.The car came to an abrupt stop, making a screeching sound and all three of us
I got out and pushed Max out of my way when he tried to block me from leaving. What the hell is his problem? I'm feeling really frustrated right now. With Max bringing his bullshit about gangs, racers and whatever nonsense it's all about and to top it all, for pulling me into all these mess along with him, is really annoying me right now. All this is just confusing as hell.
I hugged him from behind and when he tried to pull away, I tightened my hold on him and pressed my face in between his shoulder blades."Leave me, Shelly! I know that you want to leave me too. Just go", he whispered slowly, but I could sense that he was holding himself from crying."No, I don't want to leave you, Max. I can't leave you. Never! I really like you, Max. Not just as a friend but more than that. I like you", I began sobbing and when I realized what I uttered in a
