Scoops Ahoy - 5:30 PM - Tuesday

El's POV

Why did Will have to be there?? Why couldn't she just have one date ALONE with HER boyfriend. All he seemed to care about lately was stupid Will. They were partners for a project. Mike invited him to Scoops Ahoy with them. He's not even on the basketball team! That's what the hangout was originally supposed to be- The basketball team and the cheer squad. And Will was on neither. He was a loser. A boring, annoying, unpopular loser. Yet Mike cared more about him than he cared about her, his GIRLFRIEND. She couldn't take it anymore. She needed to get out of here, away from him.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom. My... My stomach hurts." She said dryly, looking at Mike. He gave her a sympathetic and leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. She moved away before he could and stood up, swinging her bag over her shoulder and leaving to find the nearest bathroom.

She pushed the gray door of the women's bathroom open, still thinking about Mike and Will. She looked around the room, and that's when her eyes met someone else's. It was her. Max Mayfield. Her and another cheerleader were leaning against the door.

Making out.

What the hell had she just walked in on.

All 3 of the girls' faces turned bright red. El started moving her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Instead, she did the first thing she could think to do, which was pretending she didn't see anything and instead going to one of the mirrors, where she proceeded to violently wash her hands. She thought about what she had just seen. Max's red hair was messed up and frizzy. Her lips were red, and so were her cheeks. Everything about her was so...

So what? El had a boyfriend. She shouldn't be thinking about anyone like this. Of course, she didn't like Max like THAT. She didn't.. Like girls. Not like that. She just thought Max was pretty. That's it. 

She could hear Max and the cheerleader talking to each other and fixing their clothes. Something about Max's raspy voice...

El looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were pink and her eyes were wide. She shook her head and picked up her bag, leaving the restrooms. It was uncomfortably quiet in there, and she didn't want the awkwardness to last any longer than it had to. As the door slammed behind her, she let out a huge sigh of relief. El was still stunned. Had she really just walked in on Max Mayfield making out with another girl?? She wasn't against the idea of.. A girl with another girl, but it was still awkward. Max was dating Lucas, and they'd been together for almost 2 years now, so why was Max sneaking away with a girl? 

Whatever it was, it was none of her business. If Max wanted to cheat, that was her problem, not El's. She'd keep it a secret and pretend this never happened.
