Chapter 8 // First Game...

-max pov-

1 Week later

It has been a week since we all were at the house watching vampire diaries.

This past week has been a weird one.

Lucas is always late for class and it's like he's been avoiding me. I don't know why? .

Did I say something wrong to him?. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings or anything like that. Anyway it's game day today and I'm so excited for my brothers.

It's there first game and they keep telling me how excited they are. They even tell me how hard practice is but most of the time I zone out bored.

I'm currently in class bouncing my pencil on the desk bored. We had a test today and I zoomed through it.

It was too easy.

I hope I get a A or I will be disappointed. I never got less than a A in maths. My brothers think I'm a genius. I don't think I am. I just listen in class and it happens naturally.

Wills understands as he's one of the top students at school.

Will has a A+ on most of his subjects. Especially Art. I love his art it's beautiful and expressive.

Dustin and Mike on the other hand...

Not the brightest people I know. Dustin is too focused on playing stupid video games and Mike is just naturally stupid.

Me and Mike always argue. It's how it's always been since I joined this family.

But I wouldn't change a thing!.

My thoughts get interrupted by the bell going off. I release a breath of relief. Finally.

I walk out the classroom looking down until I bump into someone's hard chest dropping all my books.

I look up and see Lucas.

"Oh shit sorry max" He says leaning down to help me pick my books up.

"It's fine..." I respond standing up with my books.

I stand up and he just stares at me awkwardly.

"Lucas?" I say his name.

He doesn't respond.

"Lucas!" I say shoving him.

"Huh?" He asks confused.

"You stood there staring creepily" I say.

"Oh...sorry" Lucas scratches the back of his neck.

"It's fine...anyway you nervous?" I ask him.

"What?" He says furrowing his eyebrows.

"Your first game dumbass" I roll my eyes.

"Oh yeah I'm very nervous..." He answers.

"You'll be fine" I say sending him a encouraging smile. He smiles back and I feel butterflies in my stomach.

That damn smile.

I tuck a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Anyway I have to go! See you at the game?" I say.

"Well I am playing max" He says teasing.

I roll my eyes.

"Ok goodbye Lucas" I say about to walk away.

"Bye bye Maxie" Lucas teases again. I roll my eyes once again walking away.
