Chapter 5 // Confusion & Questions?

-max pov-

As soon as I enter the classroom the teacher tells me to head towards the principal office. I walk out the classrooms and Lucas was no longer standing there. I shrug as I direct my attention towards the principals office. I just had a fight with Tara. Well I wouldn't call it a fight I basically just beat her up but still you get the message. So I'm guessing she snitched on me. I finally make it to the principal office with my bag on and the principal was on a call. He signals me to come in as he's still talking to someone on the phone. I gulp as I enter the principal office expecting the worst. "Sorry Mrs Wheeler but I'm telling the truth your daughter was caught on cctv hurting this innocent girl" I hear him say. I feel myself get angry. Innocent girl?! . She's a fucking bully who directs her own pain towards others. She deserved an ass whooping. I keep my thoughts in my head so I don't get myself in more trouble. I just sit there until he finally ends the phone call with my stepmom. "So Miss Mayfield do you want to tell me why you hurt that poor innocent girl" The principal asks me bluntly. I roll my eyes annoyed already. "She's not innocent one bit!" I respond to him annoyed. "No need for the attitude Miss Mayfield!" He yells making me roll my eyes once again. This is going to be annoying. "Look I hurt her because she's been bullying me for awhile so I stood up for myself for once so don't give me none of that sympathy shit for her.." I sight trying to be calm. "She bully's people every day and causes them to feel bad about themselves and harm themselves and your here feeding me the poor innocent girl bullshit..!" I yell at him feeling myself angry once again. "Language Miss Mayfield!" He shouts slamming his hand on the desk. I roll my eyes leaning back into the seat. I sit there crossing my arms. "So I contacted your mum..." he begins to talk. "stepmom" I mumble. He looks at me to shut up. "And I told her that your could've been arrested for this" He continues. My eyes widen. Arrested?!. "Don't worry Tara chose to not press charges so you owe that girl apology" He continued. Sorry?. No. Hell no. Hell will freeze over before I say that to HER. As I'm about to yell someone rudely runs through the principal door.

I look up and see Lucas. He sends me a small smile and I smile back at him. "Sorry Sir it's just I wanted to say something about the situation that happened at lunch" Lucas says directing his attention to the principal whose glaring at him. My eyes widen. "What is he doing?" I ask myself. The principal just stares at him to continue. "So I wanted to say it wasn't Max fault that she hurt the girl.." Lucas says. I furrow my eyebrows confused. "It was mine.." He continue. "What no it's-" I speak up. "Yes it is Max and I need to principal to know this" He says cutting me off looking at me. I feel my face turn slightly red. Why is he taking the blame for my actions?. Lucas looks back at the principal. "I told Max at lunch that she should stick up for her self for once.." he says. "And how she shouldn't let this girl bully her anymore and I guess it was just the push she needed to do it" He continues. "So what I'm saying is I'm willing to be suspended or even detention for as long as you need just please don't drag Max into this.." He finishes. The principal bounces his pen on the desk looking at him. I just sit there struck.  The principal looks at me. "This is true..?" He asks me. I look at Lucas and he nods at me to say yes. I nod slowly. "Ok well I guess you will have to punished too" He says looking at Lucas. Lucas nods. "Since your new here and I'm guessing you never got into trouble before you will get a minimum of detention for a hour every day after school for a week" The principal says. He nods. "And you! since this boy said he pushed you to do this the minimum you will get is two days of detention for a hour after school" He finishes. I nod. "Ok kids now back to class.." He says signalling us to leave. I follow Lucas out the room preparing myself to shout at him.

As soon as we leave the office I push Lucas against the wall. "What the hell was that?" I say annoyed. "Just me being a good friend Max.." He says. "No! Don't do that! You don't deserve to get in trouble for my actions!" I yell at him. I was going to continue yelling but Lucas quickly put a hand on my mouth and pushed me into the janitors closet. As soon as we are in there Lucas points at the principal looking around for us. I guess he heard our yelling. I nod understanding why suddenly he did that. Then out of no where He suddenly turns me around. I stare at him towering over me. "You want to know why I did that?" He says with his deep voice. I feel my cheeks slightly burn by the tone on his voice. I nod. "Because Max your so beautiful and I don't want to see you get suspended for sticking up for yourself..." He says leaning into my ear. I bite my lip. Damn. Why am I randomly turned on?. Focus Max! I mentally slap myself. I was flustered.

I'm beautiful?.

"But you've only known me for a day" I say looking up at him. "And that day is enough to tell me that I want to keep a connection with you and I know your a good girl. I can tell by the way your brothers speak about you and I was proud to hear that you stuck up for yourself so I don't think you should be punished and plus it's nothing I haven't done before..." He finishes looking at me. I look into his deep brown eyes getting lost in them. My head and my heart was telling me to lean in but I shake my head immediately. "No I can't do this, We can't do this..." I say running out the janitors closet. I feel tears well up in my eyes as I run out the school.

-Lucas POV-

I stand there shocked and confused. Why did she start crying and ran out.

Did I say something wrong?.

God. I'm such a idiot.

Why would I just dump that on her?.

Why would I stare into her eyes?

I keep asking myself questions until I hear the bell for lunch go off snapping me out of my thoughts. I walk out the janitors closet as I head towards the cafeteria.

I wonder if Max is there?.

I enter the cafeteria as I see everyone at the table except from Max. I feel my heart sting a bit knowing Its probably my fault she's not here and it pains me. I didn't mean to make her cry. I was just saying what came to my head. It's not like I meant it...

Right?

I wasn't lying about her being beautiful.

But I have only known her for two days and I already feel a connection between us.I know
it's weird trust me I know.

What is wrong with me?...

I decided to go home after that incident with Lucas. I still don't fully understand what he was trying to tell me or even do for me. He did say I was beautiful and for some unusual reason I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach but it's not because I like him or anything like that. When I was staring into his hazel brown eyes everything in my body was telling mean to lean and I don't know why. It's like a invisible rope was pulling us towards each other.

Right?

I sigh as I sit in my room playing with my rubix cube bored.

Your probably all thinking why I ran off right?

Honestly I don't know why I did.

It's just I had bad experiences in the past with boys and I guess Im scared.

I tend to normally play with my rubix cube to help get my mind off anything but it wasn't working today. All I could think about is why he took the blame for me. And why was he staring into my eyes?.

It weren't because he was attracted to me right?

I sigh as I lay in my bed throwing the rubix cube on the desk. I don't know what's happening between but for some reason I like it.

Damn Lucas...

You have me all confused...

You have me questioning stuff...

Hmmm...

I lay my head in my pillow as I drift out of consciousness. Later is going to be awkward. I hope Lucas don't come round.!
