We will meet again | Maxley

Chapter 14

- Bradley -

The whole entire class time, I was feeling really anxious. My leg was jumping up and down as I just kept shooting glances over at Slouch, and I just couldn't pay attention to class.

How the hell does he know? Did someone else know about me and Max and told Slouch?

"Ok, students, don't forget that the project is due at the end of the month. I expect a good presentation from you all," the professor said, and the bell rang right on time.

I was about to get up but got pulled right back down to my seat, and I looked at Slouch.

"Now, where are you going?" He asked with a raised brow.

"To my next class, of course -"

"There's a bunch of time before class starts, so how about we just.. Chat," he said, placing his elbow on my shoulder.

We waited for everyone to leave, and I watched as Max gave me a worried look, but I smiled at him, to at least reassure him that I'm ok.

Thankfully, he left with his friend and left me and Slouch alone.

"How did you know?" I asked him, crossing my arms across my chest, looking back at him.

"It was pretty obvious you have a thing for Goof, Bradley. I'm not stupid as I look."

"You told anyone yet?"

"No. Unlike you, I won't go around and reveal a secret about someone to the whole school to know. I'm not like you," he stated.

"I know that you aren't.. Then what's the big deal? I'm sure that you have another motive to hold me back."

He stayed quiet for a bit before answering, "Tank knows. One of Goof's friends told him about you two."

"Do you really think that I care? I don't give a damn if Tank knows. Hell. He knows not to mess with me again," I said, frowning.

"I knew you would say that.. Well, Tank told me to tell you that.." he leaned close to my ear, and my eyes widened, "He's going to ruin everything that makes you happy.. And his first target is. . . your boyfriend," he said, patting my shoulder before getting up.

"If I were you, I'll probably confront Tank to end this madness of his. I'm sure that he'll accept your apology for dumping and suing him," he soon left the classroom and left me by myself.

"Fuck!" I shouted, kicking myself up and hitting my hand on the table.

I thought I dealt with him. He even signed the stupid papers to not cause any harm to me. But. . . That was before Max and I started something.

What do I do.. I have to tell Max. I don't want him to get involved in these situations, but he's already involved in this situation. All because of me.

I have to tell him after school. I just hope that I'm not too late to tell him.

I got up and hurried to my next class.

. . .

- Max -

"A date? I knew you had it in you!" Bobby punched my arm playfully, and I laughed.

"He wanted a proper way for us to make it official. So we both agreed to go on a date. . . But, I have a feeling that we should probably go to two or more dates before we make it official. Don't you think so?" I asked with a raised brow.

"Yeah, you should tell him that. To see if he agrees as well," he said.

"How's PJ..?"

He stayed quiet for a couple of seconds but answered, "He's.. Alright. He's staying at Mocha's place, so don't worry about him. But, he might need some time before he talks to you... I'm sure he regrets saying all that stuff to you," he placed a hand on my shoulder.
