MAXLEY-idk what to title this :>

chapter 1 (bradleys pov)

I know it has been a while since the X-games ended, but I still regret the things I did that day. Tank has said numerous times how he fully forgives me, but I don't forgive myself.

I know I am the best and I am better than all these scumbags, but I still have emotions. I try to make up for the whole fire incident with tank by occasionally getting him food and not calling him names for a day, but I don't feel like it's enough. I don't want to admit that I fell all this guilt because I am Bradley Uppercrust III, I am supposed to be perfect and better...And I am.

It has officially been 3 months since the X-games, and my popularity has dropped a bit since that stupid freshman beat me. If I would've gone just a bit faster, I could've still won. But alas, I wouldn't have deserved it.

I will admit, Max is pretty good for a freshman. Sure, he stumbles a bit and gets distracted often, but he is almost better than me. I've seen him a couple of times while at the cafe, and I expected him to give me a snarky look, or even flip me off. But each time he sees me, he makes sure to give me a big smile. I'm sure he is just messing with me.

Today in class, he sat next to me. I was very confused, as usually he would sit by Bobby. He passed me a... Note...

"ᕼᗴYYY ᗷᖇᗩᗪ!!!" He wrote.

His hand writing is sloppy, as if it was a Kindergartners. Sure, I'm annoyed, but I guess I'll write back.

"𝐋𝐞𝐲. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐧." I quickly wrote back.

I waited for him to write back. He was probably gonna say something stupid to mess with me.

"ᑕᗩᑎ I ᕼᗩᐯᗴ YOᑌᖇ ᑎOTᗴՏ?"

Of course. He is just asking for notes. What a dumb idiot you are, Max. I decided I would try messing with him.

"𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲." I smirked as I wrote that.

No way in hell is he stupid enough to believe that.

"ᗯᗩIT, ᖇᒪY? " he quickly wrote back with a drawing

I will admit, that is a cute drawing. He did a little doodle of himself. He is a good artist, I'll say. I always see him scribbling on his jeans.

"𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐍𝐎𝐓" I wrote back.

I can't believe he actually is that dumb. Wow, and to think I gave you some credit. Tsh. I did keep his little doodle though. It was cute, I just was taking admiration for the art, that's all.

"??- ᑭᒪᘔ I'ᒪᒪ ᗪO ᗩᑎYTᕼIᑎᘜ"

This idiot. He is always zoning out and never pays attention in class. Why does he need MY notes anyway? Why not anyone else's?

"𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞. "

I thought I might as well get something out of this if o were to let him borrow THEE bradley Uppercrust III's notes. He is always at that damn coffee shop, anyways. I was NOT expecting him to be so blunt and write wht he wrote next..
