High School Musical - Next Gen (Complete)

Chapter 17

-MAXS POV-

"What's the plan again?" I ask for the tenth time this evening.

"Oh my gosh Max!" Kat rolls her eyes annoyed.

"Are you being serious?" Summer groans. They are hyper at the moment.

What's with girls and getting excited about other girls suffering...even though Danielle deserves it for tricking both the girls.

"No I just don't get why" I do get why but I want them to say it.

"Because she's ruined so many girls and even guys lives and she can't get away with it" Summer days after swallowing a mouthful of chips.

I sigh "I guess" there's a long pause of silence where all you can hear is chips being grounded between teeth and the crackle when you grab a handful out of the packet.

"But why do I have to get involved?!" I whine.

"Come on Max! You out of the three of us and even everyone at school should know how much of a skank she is, she deserves this" Kat assures me.

"Whatever, what's the plan?" I give up, they're not breaking anytime soon.

"Pass us your phone" Summer hold out her hand and I grab it out of my pocket and place it in her palm.

Summer and Kat grin as I see her fingers rapidly tap the screen. They pass the phone back and forth.

"No, crappy spelling remember!" Kat reminds Summer.

"Done, you have a date at 6:30 tonight" Summer hands me my phone back and I read all EIGHT of the messages.

"Why the two year old spelling?" I look up from my phone. I seriously don't think this is a good idea.

There's two things that could happen in this scenario.

1) I could fall back in love with her and then I would blow the girls cover and everyone would die.

Or 2) I could stay in love with Summer and pretend to love Danielle and I'm bad at acting so I would blow everybody's cover and we would all be dead.

Wait...no one heard me say the second scenario right?

Ha. Ha. Ha?

Whoops.

"Boys can't spell properly" Kat says like it's obvious.

"I can.." I say like 'you're both dumb dumbs'.

"She wouldn't believe it" Kat flicks her hand to dismiss this topic.

"What do I wear?" I run a hand through my hair and sigh, I'm going to end up kissing her, and I really don't want to do that!

"Tux, we can allow sneakers but please wear a tux" Summer says wide eyed.

"Okay, where are we going?" I walk over to my wardrobe and grab out a black tux and my nikes.

"Pancakes on the Rocks" Summer grabs out her phone, obviously my questions mean nothing anymore. But her answers do.

As soon as those words slip out of her mouth my gut drops.

"P-pan-pancakes on the rocks?" I look at Kat and she shrugs with that sympathetic look on her face.

"Her idea" she mouths and points at Summer.

"Yeah stuts, no need to be lost for words. I'm going to book the jetty table under the name Danforth, don't forget that" Summer point at me with a glare in her eye.

"Sure" I nod once. Pancakes on the Rocks was where I wanted to take Summer on our first date, and I wanted to go to the Jetty table as well but I don't think I'll step foot in that place ever again.

"You alright?" Kat asks casually but I know what she means. I tell Kat everything about me liking Summer. She's a good listener and always around, and I know she won't tell Summer.

"Yeah, it's just...if I mess this up then your covers will be blown and everyone will die" Okay so that sounded a lot better in my head.

"Dead aye? Well that's better than facing Danielle's wrath of destruction" Summer giggles, gosh her smile is adorable.

I bite my lip "yeah I guess" I smile at her side ways, admiring all her features.

Her cute nose that I want to tap and tell her she's adorable when she's upset, her long straight brown hair that I want to play with till she falls asleep, her big brown eyes that I want to look deeply in and tell her I've loved her since the day we first saw each other, and her beautiful lips that when she smiles with them, I smile and when she bites her bottom lip I just want to kiss her.

Okay so that was weird!

"Do I have to go?" It's 6:15 now and if I go now I'll be 5 minutes early.

"Yes! Now go!" Kat turns me around and pushes me out the door. I turn around and walk back in.

"Come on" Summer touches my arm and tingles go through me, obviously the same happens for her because she brings back her hand and bites her bottom lip. Oh mother of baby Bieber I just want to kiss her!

"It's polite to get there before the girl" Kat interrupts the silence.

"I don't want to go" I groan but I'm distracted by trying to look into Summers eyes.

"Please Max, she tried to play me" Summer says in a soft and innocent, almost hurting tone.

"Yes" I whisper. And Kat sighs and shakes her head like 'are you trying to blow this?' "I mean fine" I say and walk out the door.

"Good luck" Summer yells out and that makes me smile.

"Don't mess up, and kiss her!" Kat says. And my gut drops. Far out kissing her will be risky but fine, she hurt Summer so she pays.
