Maxine 'Max' Mayfield was lonely. Very lonely. As she walked out to lunch, she saw her crush (El Hopper) kiss a boy. She knew it was hopeless and she'd be lonely forever. She payed for her lunch and went to sit in her usual seat. She sat on the floor under a tree, (no one would let her sit with them) she looked back at El. Max thought El looked happy, so happy, and wished she could feel like that. El looked towards her and she quickly turned away, to see one of the jocks coming her way. She thought they were just going to laugh at her and then go away. But the jock sat next to Max and started to eat.
Lucas Sinclair was tall, dark-skinned, and surprisingly handsome Max thought. She looked at him in shock, wondering why he was there.
"Can I help you?" she asked, backing away slightly.
"Just came to eat lunch with the most beautiful girl in the school,"
Max stared at him in shock, "Look if this is a dare you can go no-"
Before she could finish, Lucas leant in, and kissed her.
Max kissed him back, enjoying the kiss. She pulled away, still staring at him.
"It wasn't a dare," Lucas said, kissing her quickly again, getting up and going to class.
