Binary Star ~MILEVEN AU~

chapter four

'Are you the moon? Because even when it's dark you still seem to shine.'

The party expected Max and Lucas to come to school hand in hand the next day after picturing what would have happened last night at Lucas'. But in reality, it was the complete opposite. Max was mad. Really mad. Lucas tried to talk to her but every time he tried to, she would either just walk-off or tell him to piss off.

The worst part was lunch. Max and Lucas were sitting at two different tables and the party didn't know which side to choose. After twenty minutes and discussing and debating, they came up with the perfect plan. Mike and Will would sit with Lucas and Dustin and Elanor would sit with Max. And then they would listen to all their rambling obviously.

Elanor sat down next to Max, signing deeply before asking,

"What happened Max?", Max cringed at the memory of Lucas yelling at her from the other side of the door.

*Last night after Max  left the arcade*

Max walked past Mrs.Sinclair,  rushing upstairs to Lucas's room. She tried to open the door only to realize that the door was locked. She sighed before knocking at the door gently.

"Lucas, it's me, Max. Can you please open the door?", Max practically begged him to her own surprise. She has never been the one to compromise.

"Go home, Max.", Lucas said in a scratchy voice from the other side of the door.

"Lucas just let me in...please.", he could tell by the tone of her voice that she was starting to get impatient.

"I said go home, Max. I just wanna be alone.", he said trying his best not to get mad.

"Lucas just l-"

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"You clearly fucked up dude.", Mike said giving Lucas a disappointed look.

"I did it 'cause I care about her okay? I didn't want to get her sick.", Lucas defended himself.

"Clearly", Will chuckled, deciding to shut up after noticing the death glare Lucas was sending him.

"Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna invite Max for a sleepover at mine, telling her that you're not gonna be there.", Mike started explaining.

"And then we're gonna lock you two up in Mike's bedroom, that way you can sort things out without her running away from you.", Will finished.

"You really think that's gonna work?", Lucas asked doubtfully.

"Worth a shot.", Mike shrugged.

"How are you gonna talk her into it?", Lucas wondered knowing that that was the hardest part.

"That's on El and Dustin.", Mike assured feeling sorry for his friends.

After hours of practically begging, Dustin and Eleanor managed to convince Max to sleepover at Mike's tonight. She thought she needed a break from all this Lucas shit after all. At least that's what she thought.
