Boy Meets Boy Meets Zombie

Way Back When

Max's P.O.V.:
"No no no no no!" I yell out banging my head against the wall. "Oh, stop being such a drama queen!" Scarlett yells out while opening my closet in search of an outfit for me. "I am not going!" I protest. "Well, too bad I already said yes," she rolls her eyes. "Yeah, YOU said yes! I didn't!" I argued back. "Well," she says searching for the right words to use. "Oh well! You're going and that's final!" She finally decides.

"Now put this on!" She throws me some light blue skinny jeans and an oversized gray sweater. I start to undress not caring if she sees my unclothed body or not. By the way Scarlett is a lesbian. So we're pretty comfortable around each other. Especially because we've been best friends since junior high.

Flashback
Max's P.O.V.:
We were in seventh grade. At the time I was a new student and had just moved in from a small town of a population of about 4,000.

I had just gotten my new schedule and was sent out to find my sixth period class, history. But somehow I ended up in what seemed like the cafeteria. And then it happened.

Smack! The taste of spaghetti and meatballs filled my mouth reaching the back of my throat making me gag. Not that I didn't like spaghetti and meatballs. All of a sudden it poured down the inside of my shirt, causing me to fall on the floor in horror. My perfectly white jeans stained with tomato sauce and other ingredients I couldn't make out.

"I am so sor-" I hear the culprit get cut off by a very loud and very ANNOYING lady. "YOU TWO" She points to us. "OFFICE. NOW." She says as if we just committed a crime.

This is insane! I think to myself. I didn't do anything! Did I? My gosh, I can't even remember! I'm too young to die!

I look over to the culprit that is now laughing! Laughing! "What's so funny?" I spit out. "You your face," she clutches her stomach still laughing.

I don't understand how she could be laughing at a time like this! We could die! Or worse be expelled! (Please tell me you all got that. Hermione. Harry Potter. Never mind.)

Scarlett's P.O.V.:
I swear I've probably swallowed my stomach by now. Who is this kid? "Just chill out we're not going to die!" I say. He gives me this look as if I had just read his mind.

"You two come here in my office now!" Hank interrupts the silence between me and this kid. I don't know his name. But frankly, I don't care. "Sure thing Hank!" I practically jump out of my seat, giving him a little slap on the shoulder.

"How many times have I told you not to call me by my first name not only is it highly inappropriate, but it is indeed annoying," he says while giving me a dirty look. "Oh, stop it you big drama queen! You know you love me and enjoy every second I am in your office!" I say cheerfully, knowing that I am most likely pushing all of his buttons by now.

"That's it!" He says while standing up throwing his hands in the air. "Detention! Both of you! Right after school! Be on time!" He yells as he excuses himself out the doors leaving us in silence.

"Well, that escalated quickly!" I say once again jumping up from my chair. "Must be on his period or something" I mumble.

I turn around seeing a now blank faced and zoned out kid. "Uh, hello, we can go now!" I say, clapping my hands, which automatically snap him out of La La Land.

He jumps up in surprise and just pushes through me out of the office. "Hey, wait!" I call after him. I find him standing in the middle of the hallway clenching his what I'm assuming schedule. He doesn't answer. "Look, I'm sorry it was an accident and I take full responsibility for it," I say choking up on my words a little bit at the end of the sentence.

He turns around with tears falling from his face "apology not accepted! Now can you help me find my next class?" He says in a very sassy manner.
End of flashback

Max's P.O.V.:
And well you can guess what happened after that. "Hurry up!" Scarlett shouts.
