Max was no show on Tuesday too. And Wednesday.

How did I know? Because I kept looking for him, every single second of the days. I made sure to glue my eyes on the classroom doors during English and maths. There was no practice because of rain. I didn't like that there was none because of a reason other than playing. I'm not going to state why.

There should be no why.

Why should I care? It's not like he's my friend.

But I couldn't help it. And that was a secret; deep, deep inside me, barely existing.

Katie didn't tell me what happened. She didn't speak a word about why Max and Mason disappeared. Well, Mason came to school today though.

I didn't ask.

If that didn't add to my sour mood, it'd been raining ever since Monday. It stopped during twelve to one only to start at three. Mum hated it. Dad didn't care as usual and Katie, she didn't have any reasons to hate it.

What surprised me more was Mason, sitting on my couch, watching tv while sipping on whatever he'd been given. Or did he make it himself?

Did I have to spell it out for him that this wasn't his house?

"Oh, you're here? Want a cup?" Katie walked passed me to the couch, planting herself next to her boyfriend.

"What if I say yes?" I eyed the guy when he turned to me. "What are you doing here?" That's not what I wanted to ask.

"Then I'd reply with 'go get it yourself'. And don't talk to my boyfriend like that. He's here because I asked him to."

"What she said."

I glared at Katie, "he was my teammate before he became your boyfriend. And, I thought you were busy?"

"Busy with what?" He gave me a 'what are you talking about?' look which only confused me more.

I thought he was helping- you know what, I didn't care. Whatever happened with Max Winters and his life doesn't concern me. I shouldn't care.

I don't like him. I shouldn't like him.

I'm not gay...

I turned around, getting back to my room as fast as I'd come. I sat on my desk, going through homework when I suddenly thought of him again.

Did he get his homework? How would he if Mason didn't come to school on Tuesday? Maybe Katie helped and she just chose to not tell me because I was never friends with them.

Right, I was never friends with him.

Stop thinking about him Alan. You sound like a weirdo.

When did Alan Davis Baker care about Max Winters?
