Luca walked into the choir room and saw Max scrolling on his phone. "Hey,"Luca said. "Hi,"Max said while putting away his phone. 

Luca sat down on the stairs and Max sat in front of him. "So, what are you going to sing?" Max asked. "Max, I told you I don't sing,"Luca said. "Well, that's too bad,"Max said, "If you don't sing, I'll cancel tonight." 

"What's tonight?" Luca asked. Max smiled. "Sing,"Max said while grabbing Luca's guitar from his hand and he started playing a melody. Luca sighed, ran his hands through his hair, cleared his throat, and started singing:

Ooh, you are my muse
I feel so reckless
Oh, you're makin' me, makin' me
Makin' me, makin' me, makin' me
Makin' me, makin' me give in

Oh, baby, I can feel the rush of adrenaline
I'm not scared to jump if you want to
Let's just fall in love for the hell of it
Maybe, we'll just keep fallin'

Max smiled. "You have a very beautiful voice, baby,"Max said. "Thanks,"Luca said. Max passed Luca back his guitar. "What are you singing?" Luca asked. "Find You by Nick Jonas,"Max said. 

Luca nodded. "Do you know the melody?" Max asked. Luca nodded again. "It's a good song,"Luca said. Max smiled.

 "When you're ready,"Max said. Luca started strumming his guitar to the melody of Find You. Max started singing:

I look for you in the center of the sun
I took a pill but it didn't help me numb
I see your face even when my eyes are shut
But I never really know just where to find you

I taste the words that keep falling out your mouth
You got a logic I can never figure out
If I could hold you I would never put you down
But I never really know just where to find you

Where to find you
Where to find you
But I never really know just where to find you

Try, try, try, but I-
Try, try, try, but I, but I-
Try, try, try, but I-
But I never really know just where to find you

You think you know how to get under my skin
It's good for now but it's never permanent
Knock on the door but there's no one listening
And I never really know just where to find you

You live for love but you never really tried
You say it's not but it's always on your mind
Keep chasing gold but you're used to silver lines
And I never really know just where to find you

Where to find you
Where to find you
But I never really know just where to find you

Try, try, try, but I-
Try, try, try, but I, but I-
Try, try, try, but I-
But I never really know just where to find you

Maybe I'm chasing a feeling
Maybe I don't even need it
Maybe you're looking for me tonight, tonight

I look for you in the center of the sun
I took a pill but it didn't help me numb
I see your face even when my eyes are shut
But I never really know just where to find you

Where to find you
Where to find you
But I never really know just where to find you

Try, try, try, but I-
Try, try, try, but I, but I-
Try, try, try, but I-
But I never really know just where to find you

Luca smiled. "You really are an amazing singer,"Luca smiled. "Thanks,"Max said, "You're an amazing guitarist." 

"Thanks,"Luca said. Max nodded. "So, what's tonight?" Luca asked. "Do you remember how I told you I was taking you on a real date?" Max asked. Luca nodded. "Well, that date is officially happening,"Max said. 

"Where?" Luca asked. "A place,"Max said. Luca put his guitar back into his case, and held it in his hand. "Take us to this place,"Luca laughed.
