chapter 25: why didn't you tell me damnit!

(July 13 1983) friday

It had been a couple of weeks since you and Michael decided to make a routine of hanging out, and max didn't even catch on, you got used to Michael, and he seemed quite fond of you, well you had a lil issue with his behavior, Michael was quite...a bully at school, you tried to tell him otherwise, he seemed to only listen when you were around to witness, but you heard around that he still continued doing so, other than that no one really messed with you, and if they did...so be god they'd regret that as soon as Michael found out. you made your way to your locker, to get something for your next class, when you opened it a not fell out, you picked it up, and opened it, it basically said "sup y/n, wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch today,?, xo Michael " you smiled to yourself softly, you realized you were smiling over a simple note, you shook away your thoughts, and got your books, putting the note in your pocket and heading to your next class. It was currently English class, you payed attention, but you still felt a lil bored, suddenly you felt something be thrown at you desk, it was a crumbled up note, you opened it and it was another note from Michael, it said "so...is it a yes??" , you thought it through and wrote something back "I'd like too, but sorry, sitting with max and Libby" you wrote, you looked I'd anyone was looking, and you crumbled the note back up and tossed it to Michael, he read it and wrote again, crumbling it up and throwing to you, you read the note "it's fine, maybe some other time " the note said, you heard the teacher speak up to you and you payed attention and quickly put the note away, unaware of max watching you lil interaction with Michael from a few seats away, the bell rang and it was time for lunch, everyone packed their shit and left. After lunch, you were putting stuff back into your locker, you closes the locker door, only to see Michael standing there, causing you to jump a lil I'm suprise, Michael chuckled "did I scare ya?" Michael said, you playfully rolled your eyes "Michael, you nearly gave me a heart attack" you said, "okay, no more sneaking behind the locker door...well.. can't make promises" Michael said jokingly, you were about to say something, when you were suddenly interrupted , "I knew it!" You had a voice say, you immediately recognized that voice as Max's, if I didn't say you got a mini heart attack, I'd be lying, you both turned to a angry max , "you two are talking, so causally, wtf is going on here?!" Max said, you were about to speak but was interrupted by Michael "what's going on here is I'm talking to a friend " Michael said, this seemed to piss max off more, "seriously? a friend? your friends with my fucking enemy y/n?" Max said, "yeah..." you said, "and you didn't care to tell me anything?!' max said, you were quiet for a sec, "I said WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME DAMNIT" max said ,her voice raised , "because you'd react like this max" Michael said, max glared at Michael, "shut up, stay out of it" max said, she looked back at you, "I don't want you hanging out with him anymore " max said, "since when do you control their choices?" Michael said sarcasticly, max shot him another glare "since they decided to be my friend " max said, she looked back at you, "I want you to choose wisely, me or him" max said, "max don't make them choose, there's nothing wrong with them befriending both of us" max said, "no, they have to choose, I'm their friend" max said, "oh please max, your acting like, controlling their choices and being a raging bitch, is being a "good friend" Michael said, "fine so be it, I'm warning you y/n, he's not what he seems, you'll see it and regret it" max said, then she stormed off, you and Michael were in silence, not knowing what to say.
