Max POV :

I know i should handle these situations as i am a grown up boy but i feel like i'm full . I can't express anger , sadness not even love because for these you need a person who understands you but even my parents failed at this .

I went home tired of all the drama after what happened at school . I threw my bag on the sofa and went straight to the kitchen , pulled out a coke and went to my room . I skimmed through my phone while i drink my coke i saw few messages from different companies but one message got my attention before i could delete all .

It was from krista Melanie . My classmate .

" Heya ! Max krista here ! Party at my house so get dressed and meet me at my house at 7:00 pm okay ? "

Why would krista wanted a looser at her party ? I thought to myself but to make friends and adjust to high school i needed that invitation.

" Hi krista thanks for inviting me and sure i'll be there "

I want to wear something nice so i headed to a nearby thrift store because my pocket money was almost finished. Even though my dad is a business man he never gives me and my mother a single penny and all pocket money that i get is from my mom .

The thrift store was quite old but it didn't stopped me from going in there .
When i stepped into the store i saw this remarkable yellow t shirt and a hoodie mannequined together perfectly .

" How much is this ? " I asked a lady .
" Sorry kid i don't work here " the lady said politely .
" Pardon me ! I didn't knew "
" Its okay if you are looking for the price it must be written somewhere here " she said as she scooped up tags from the inside "

" Its 8 dollars and 12 cents " the lady said smiling at me .

" Oh gosh is it a thrift store ? " I said in shock .

" Yeah kid and you know the sad part ? They probably don't even donate it to the church "

" Thats sad " i said .

" Well i'm getting late . You want it or no ? "

" I want it but i don't have enough money " i said

" How much do you have ? " The lady asked

" Well i have 3 dollars " i said as i counted the old notes in my hand

" Thats a shame . You are very short , but don't worry the rest of the amount i will pay for you "

" What ? You would do that for me ? " I asked my face got lit up

" Sure . I came here in this store for donation but look who got lucky " she said with a smile .

" Thank you maam i mean i will pay you back as soon as i can "

" Donations doesn't need a pay back son ! What good you do always comes back to you . My daughter she's umm not doing good lately she is in coma " she said sadly .

" Don't worry she will be fine i know "

Atlast i got new clothes for the party .
I took a bus to krista's house. When i reached i saw all my school mates there . There in the distance i saw Krista in orange gown . She looked perfect in that dress .

" Hi Max ! " She waved at me .

I went to her with flowers in my hand .
" Hi . You look beautiful " i said as i handed her the flowers

" You think so ? Thank you ! You look different too " she said .

" Thanks " i said as my eyes drifted towards the kids who were dancing .

She looked at my direction and asked " You want to dance ? "

" I don't know how to dance " i told her .

" Its not hard let me teach u "

She grabbed my hand and before i said no i was on the dance floor . She kept her hands on my neck to which i winced .

" Don't be shy . Its just me . I won't judge you "

I nodded.

I placed my hands on her waist and before i know we were moving to and fro with the slow music .

I found krista looking at me and smiling the whole time . Then she broke the silence by saying " You do realize that i have a crush on you since we were in eighth grade right ? "

I stopped dancing not because of what she said but because i felt a hand on my shoulder . I turned to see and found Terrance standing with his gang .

" Krista i didn't knew you invite loosers in your party " he said never taking his eyes off me .

" Terrance stay out of it " she said . I looked at Krista and then at Terrance not knowing what to do .

" Oh so now you defend a looser too ? "

" Terrance you are standing in my house i will call the guards and you will regret all of this " krista shouted .

" Come on baby stop this drama . You know i will treat you like a queen " Terrance moved away towards krista , grabbed her wrist .

" Hey leave her alone ! " I said

" Yeah ? Or else ? "

" You will regret it " i said . I don't know why all this rubbish was coming out from my mouth .

Terrance came near me and gave a big punch in my stomach .

" Terrance !! " Krista shouted . Now everybody in the party started looking at us .

" Guards !! " Krista called to her guards " Throw this man out of here " she pointed towards Terrance .

Terrance jumped away from them and pushed krista in the pool . It was a disaster because krista was all mad .

" Max i'm sorry but you need to leave too " she said from the pool .

" Let me help you " i said

" No ! Just go away . I should have listened to my girls , you really are a looser . Look you just ruined my party "

I was shocked ! " What ? But i didn't do anything ! "

" I don't care just leave before you ruin my party even more "

Tears rolled down my eyes as i felt all eyes on me .

I went to the bus stop to catch a bus to my house but the bus came , waited for me and then left .

I guess i did not wanted to head back my house but somewhere else ...............

Stay tuned ♥️♥️
