Butterflies (Maxine baker x reader)

What's going on?

As I "scope out the joint" as Hunter would say. I see Ginny and him get into the photo booth alone. None of my business. I hear the song, Cupid shuffle start to play. Really? This is such a lame sleepover. Not saying the songs lame just that this whole thing is. Max runs up to me,

"Come on, Y/n!"

Since I already felt bad about ditching her earlier I shrug my shoulders and roll my eyes. I let her grab my hand and drag me with her. We get to where our friends are. Them laughing as we join them. As we dance I see mom and Ginny talking. I scoff knowing Ginny most likely saying something along the line of, "stop staring at me." Or "go somewhere else." Shes too harsh sometimes.

I get bored and decide to just go in the hall and hit my pen. As I do so I see Max, Abby, Norah, and Ginny all at the hair stylist. I was debating to go or not. I just shake my head and stand up. I walk towards my gorgeous girlfriend and her friends. I lean down and kiss her. I see Ginny get into the other seat. This isn't going to end well. I slightly snicker as the woman start brushing her beautiful locks.

As everyone sees what mess her hair becomes I feel me automatically bite my lips. I look behind me when I hear a chuckle followed by a second one short after. Abby holding her hand over her mouth like it does anything. She looks at me and we both have little red in our faces, mine being harder to tell because of my gorgeous dark skin. I feel Max hit my arm. I give her a look, what, she gives me a glare. I sigh and look down. She grabs my hand, holding it. I smile and kiss her knuckles.

She giggles softly we both look at each other. I hear Norah as well as Abby say they were going to go to the classroom. I keep staring at Max as we hold our eye contact. I smile and lean down to kiss her again. When we pull apart a string of saliva still connected till broken.  I grip her hand harder and slowly pull her towards the bathroom. Thats until she saw Riley. I smack my teeth, and roll my eyes walking away to the locker room. I hear voices speak as I walk in. They echo into my ears.

"Is that your impression of me?"

Marcus?

"It's all wrong. I'm way more debonair. I'm too cool for fun."

I hear the two people chuckle,

"Seriously, why aren't you into this? There's a freaking bounce house."

Ginny? Makes sense. What's next they gonna make out?

I hear them talk more Marcus about to leave making me rush to hide. I hear Ginny call him back again. I sigh in relief. I get bored of their conversation, so I put my AirPods in after pulling them from my pajama pants. I smile as I hear the tune of my favorite song, Waiting Room. I hear the door open halfway through the song,

"Come on. Two seconds."

What the hell?

"Really, I'm fine."

Max?

"Yeah, when I'm fine, I sob uncontrollably."

I laugh a little at that, but worry slowly fills my body again,

"Just...I ruined everything."

What is she talking about?

"You did nothing wrong, OK? My sugarplum just has trust issues. She just cant take too much. Whenever she does it turns into a mess. She just goes boring and takes it out on herself or others."

What does she mean by that? Did I do something wrong? I breathe heavily but quiet. I feel my eyes well up. No, this is what she's talking about. Stop. I stop and try to breathe. I'm okay,

"Your accent makes everything you say sound so convincing."

Max speaks as I slowly stand up. I need to know what's going on,

"What's going on?"

I speak when I come out since they're to distracted to notice me,

"Nothing sugarplum, now y'all get out there and have fun."

I still frown knowing they're lying,

"OK."

I speak clenching my jaw clearly,

"Thanks. Ginny and Y/n are really lucky to have you."

I look at Max as she speaks. I clear my throat and walk towards the door holding it open. She walks through as I speak one last time to my mom,

"I love you mama."

I walk out hearing,

"I love you more sugarplum."
