When I got back to the dorm I sighed and flopped down on my bed.

Why was he acting like this? I was only trying to help. Maybe I pushed him too hard.

I really should hate him, but I just can't. Especially not after what he told me...

I still hadn't forgiven him for the X games, but I saw no point in holding a grudge. What's done is done, and there's only moving forward from here.

Suddenly, Bobby burst through the bathroom door. "Smooooth criminal, duh duh du- oh hey Max."

I propped myself up on my elbows, "Hey Bob, where's Pj?"

"He went out, probably with 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴 Mocha." He said leaning against the bunk frame.

"No surprise there, you have fun at the party last night?" I asked.

"Yeah it was cool. Where'd you go during the bong circle though? you were gone for likeee half an hour."

That was when I was with Bradley, I couldn't tell Bobby that...he hated that guys guts. I didn't even know why I kept talking to Bradley so how did I expect him to understand that?

"Like I said, went out for fresh air." I said trying to sound believable.

"What were you doing outside for that long though?" Bobby said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh ya know...I got talking to this girl and lost track of time." I said trying to hide my lies through an awkward grin.

"Maximiliannn, getting all the ladies I see."

I let out a chuckle while saying, "Yeah yeah."

Bobby was always able to make me laugh without trying, he was just a naturally funny guy.

"Oh, Max you missed something that happened at the party." Bobby said.

"What happened?" I asked curious.

"BRADLEY was at the party and he and this guy was arguing, Tank had to go and pull Bradley away. Kind of wish he didn't though, I would give anything to see Bradley Uppercrust the third get his ass kicked in a fight." He said while chuckling.

Oh god was that after I talked to Bradley? I didn't cause that did I...

"What were they arguing about?" I asked trying to find out more.

"Uhh, I'm not sure. We all started cheering for the guy after Brad got dragged away though, he was probably just starting shit like always." Bobby said shrugging.

I guess I wasn't really surprised. After all, Bradley used to always be fighting with me. That guy had some serious anger issues.

After lying on my bed for a while lost in thought, I got up to go shower. I had my own bathroom in my room since there was no way I was sharing with the people in this house, they were all so dirty. The only reason they were here was because I needed a skating team.

After a quick shower I wrapped a towel around my waist and went over to the sink, looking at myself in the mirror. Shit, I needed a shave. I grabbed the shaving cream out of the back of the mirror and began lathering it on, I then picked the razor up from the sink counter and carefully glided the razor over my cheek. I couldn't afford to cut myself, I had to keep my skin like porcelain. If I wasn't perfect on the inside I could at least continue to look perfect on the outside.

Now that I was finally out of the rut I was in I somehow had to boost my reputation as much as I could. Well...that's what my father had told me anyways. I doubt I would be able to get my reputation back, but I just wouldn't let it sink any further.
