In love with a dragon

the news article

I looked on my phone at the news article and read it allowed so Max could hear.

It is a sad day for mother Hope as her daughter aged 17 has died today. She died during a collision of her mums car and a fence. A ceremony will be held for her 17 year old daughter called Charlotte in 3 days time.

Max looks at me as I refuse to read anymore. He pulls me closer to him and hugs me. A tear rolls down my eye when he then kisses my head. "Your seventeen?" Max asks. I move away and look at him and laugh.

"Why do you ask and yes I am?" I say.

"Well I'm eighteen and like I have never been in love with a seventeen year old before" he says.

"My birthday is in three days you know?"

"But isn't that when the funeral is happening?" He asks.

"Yes!" I say. His jaw drops and then I saw his hand turn into a first. He gets out of the bed and rushes out the room. Why did he leave? What was wrong? I got out of bed and then opened the door looking in every direction. He was gone. I walked out the room and stood in the corridors running my hands through my hair.

Why?

"MAX!" I shout in the corridors. When I see Tommy pop his head out of one of the doors along the corridor.

"Why you in the corridor?" He asks walking out the room.

"Max ran out and I don't know where he has gone?" I say.

"Did he get annoyed?" He asks. He starts walking closer to me and then closes the door of Max's room. I turn around and face the door. I had left my lanyard in the room...

"I don't know if he got annoyed his hand made a fist after I read an article and then he rushed out!" I say turning towards Tommy.

"Oh..." he says, "he won't be back for a while but you can hang with me until he's back if you want?"

"I don't know" I say. He looks around trying to think of solutions then he walks off to his room. "Where are you going?" I ask.

"My room why?" He asks. I run over to him.

"Can I stay with you till Max is back because I don't know anyone else here?" I ask. He nods his head and smiles.

Inside his room he had a single bed in the corner of his room and there was a lot of space in his room. "Wow there's more space then in Max's room!" I say. He smiles and then grabs his phone on the desk. He starts ringing someone.

"Hey Max where are you?" He says. His face looked shocked and then turned to panick. "Hang on I'm going to put you on speaker because I have Charlotte here!" He says. He puts the phone on speaker.

"Charlotte hey I'm sorry I ran out on you but like I got annoyed and I didn't want to hurt you so I went out. But don't worry I'm on my way back now" Max says over the phone.

"Ok but please hurry" I say. Then Tommy hangs up the phone and looks at me like he was offended.

What?

"Am I really that bad?" He asks.

"I don't know you tho?" I say.

"Well I'm good freinds with Max so you will soon get to know me more" he says. I smile but I don't really want to know him I just want to go home. I then open the door and walk out of his room and walk back to Max's room to sit outside. I was sat there for a while. A girl came out the room across from Max's room and she looked at me.

"New here?" She asks me. I nod my head and she smiles. "Well I can tell you one thing you do not want to be sat outside this room!"

"Why not?" I ask.

"Don't worry just I would say you might want to move before he either comes out or comes back..." she says. I nod my head when I see Max walking down the corridor.

"Melody what are you doing?" He says coming towards us.

"Nothing just warning a girl about you!" She says. "But as I'm here I'm Melody by the way I'm Max's cousin"

"Ok?" I say. Max stands next to me and helps me off the floor. He kisses me on the cheek and I smile.

"No..." Melody says. Max turns and looks at her with a smirk and then ushers me in. He closes the door behind him as he walks in. I run to the bed and jump on it.

"Ok?" He says like I was a complete weirdo. I was a weirdo but it doesn't matter. I climbed into the bed and layed down. I was so tired. I closed my eyes and then Max switches the light off. I was so exhausted but the issue was I couldn't sleep. I felt Max climb into the bed behind me. And his arms wrapped around me. "It's been a long day you should get some rest" he whispers into my ear. I turn around and face him.

"Max why did your cousin warn me about you?" I ask.

"Oh she does that to all of my freinds purely because she is jealous" he says.

"Of what?" I ask.

"The fact I can get a girlfriend and she can't get a boyfriend"

"Oh..." I say. I look at his face and smile. He looked really tired and exhausted like me. "Sorry if I cause you any trouble" I say. He smiles and then kisses me on the head.

"You don't cause me any trouble" he says. Eventhough it was dark I could still see his cheeks were red. I closed my eyes to go to sleep and I felt his warmth against me as he pulls me closer. His breath brushed against my hair. I couldn't see myself but I could tell I was blushing. Did I have a crush on the quite kid in class?
