The Powerful Girl

Chapter #36 Communication

*Veronica's pov*

After happily walking with Max, it brought me back to when the boys walked behind me when they stupidly went to go see a monster. Today was so different than that night.

Me and Max were making jokes, laughing and having fun. He did keep checking in if I was okay. Weirdly, I felt fine. My nose stopped hurting when we left the building. It felt off that he was concerned.

We finally got back to the library and I walked into it jumping with excitement. "Ok, now that was awesome!"

Max appeared near the librarian counter. "Sure looked intense." He says as I pass by him to the armory.

"Well, you did say I can 'kickass'." I say when I pull down the secret lamp lever to open it.

"Yeah, and I meant it." After I close it I grabbed my backpack out of the secret holding compartment and onto one of the tables for my stuff.

"Well, Now that is one villain down and maybe several for me to 'kickass'." I joke which makes Max chuckle.

"Yeah, and maybe for us to team up again." He says which made me slow down searching my bag.

I turn to him. "You want to do that again?"

He nods. "Yeah, of course I do! Don't you?" He crosses his arms.

I nod. "Yeah, of course I do but..."

His look turned to worry. "But what?"

I sigh. "I just didn't think an adult like you would want to follow directions from a kid like me."

Max scoffs. "You're not any ordinary kid. And I'm not any ordinary adult."

I smile. "You got that right."

"What I do know..." He takes one step closer to me. "Is that your a magical that cares so much for people, even the bad ones. You see the good in them when others can't."

He gets close enough to tuck my black hair behind my ear. "You're thoughtful as hell."

I scoff at the remark. "No matter what people tell you, you are."

I look into his really dark black eyes for a moment with him kissing my forehead gently into a hug.

He looked over my shoulder. He lets go. "Someone texted you."

I turn around and find it saying. "I'm by where I always pick you up, Hurry." from my dad.

"Oh my god I forgot! My family is going to the movies." I start to pack up quickly.

"Really? What movie?" Max asks curiously.

I shrug. "Just some Marvel Movie. Come on." I say as I rush out of the library to my dads van.

I was able to get their quickly enough and smush down my backpack in front of me in the front seat. "Sorry daddy! I completely forgot!"

He shakes his head. "It's fine. Mommy wanted me to text you 'Hurry'."

I buckle my seat belt. "Is she mad?"

He tilted his head. "Heh, She is at Eliana and Camila for disturbing her when she is getting ready."

I chuckle. "So it's a mad house there?"

He tilts his head again. "A Little."

I sigh. "That sounds fun."

We drove back to the hell whole for a few minutes and get out of the car bracing for what's to come inside the house. My dad opens the door to my mom and Eliana's talking loud enough in my parents room to echo to the front door. "Have they been talking ever since you left?" I ask my dad.
