A tadpole is―

She knows what a tadpole is!

The next morning, alexia woke up with max in her arms.

"well, aren't you a sleeping beauty" alexia said, to no one specifically, dragging hand through max's hair.

As usual, a very familiar car parked in front of the school, alexia stepped out of the passenger without waiting for any of her bodyguards to come, which some students were shock.

She went to the other door and open it, lending a hand as max's step out.

"why am i even surprise?"

"you tell me."

"here we go again?"

"again? Go where?"

"oh god, please! Take me away from this girl!"

"hey! Don't be like that!"

"hey, don't be like that my ass"

"both of you shush"

"you shush!"

"jeez, no need to gang up on me"

"deal with it!"

"ugh"

"ignore the whisper, max" alexia said, pulling max's closer, as the girl feel anxious about the stares and whisper.

"ignore them, Ms. Mayfield" jason said, as he help jess keep the crowds away.

Max nod, as she hold onto alexia, burying her head deeper at the girl's arm. Alexia didn't mind, that's what max is thankful for. Instead, alexia wrapped her arms around max, in a protective way.

But his injury resulted in a completely change to his personality" Mr. Clark said, as max found herself staring at the younger byers, which didn't go unnoticed to the younger byers and alexia, who gave her a look but brush it off. "so much so that friends that knew him strated reffering to him as 'no longer gage' at the time, this was known as the American crowbar case. Although, it wasn't―" Mr. Clark was interrupted by the classroom door slamming opened, revealing a panting Henderson boy.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Clark." dustin went to take a seat "really, please, continue with the class"

"although, it wasn't a crowbar. It was a rod, as i said." Mr. Clark continued, casting dustin a look.

"we have to meet. All of us. At lunch in av club." dustin then turned at the two girls "av club at lunch" max nod while alexia stared.

"dustin!" dustin looked at Mr. Clark.
