》Max《

I took a deep breath.

"I know that I hurt yo-"

"I am NOT hurt!", Bradley snapped. "What you said was stupid, but it didn't affect me AT ALL!"

I furrowed and took a step back. "Brad, I saw it in your eyes..."

Now it was his time to furrow.
"You know nothing about me!", he scoffed. "I don't care. You can do the presentation part and I'll search for the information. I don't want to work with you on the project anymore!"

"What?", I snarled. "Do you hear yourself? You sound so childish!"

His eye twitched in anger. "Do NOT talk to me like that, freshman!", he yelled and stormed out.

That didn't go well...

Why does my heart ache this way? I... just don't want to ditch what was about to begin before it even started...

I can't believe he got that mad... does he... actually like me? He asked me to dance after all...

********

Max: brad

||Message couldn't be delivered||

What? Why doesn't this work?

Max: bradley

||Message couldn't be delivered||

Did he... block me? Fuck... I... ugh...

I could feel my breath hitch in my throat. I squeezed my chest. Bradley...

*****************

I sat at the Bean scene cafe, drinking my secomd beer of the night. Why would Bradley do this?

I mean... I hurt him I know that, but... ugh... why... Bradley...

*********

After 2 more beers, I was insanely drunk. My brain was fogged up and I couldn't drink clearly.

Pj sat down next to me. "Max, we should go"

"No... I have to...", I mumbled as I stood up. "Phone...."

"What?"

"I... have to call... Bra-"

"You have to what?"

"Bradley..."

"Oh oh okay...", he quickly took his phone. "His number?"

"On... mine.... 'annoying brat'"

***********

I got into the stall and sat ok the toilet lid pressing 'call'

A few moments passed before he answered.

"Uppercrust on the phone."

I let out a soft laugh. "I... missed your voice..."

"Goof?", I could hear his surprise on the phone. "Are you drunk?"

"Bradley, Bradley, Brad... my Brad..."

"Goof..."

"Nono don't hang up...", I slurred. "I want to hear your voice..."

"Leave me alone, Max..."

"I'm sorry... seriously... I liked dancing with you Bradyy....", I muttered. "But... people were staring..."

| |Call ended||

"B-Brad?"

*******************

I slowly opened my eyes and was staring right at Bobby and Pj who were staring at me.

"You passed out", Bobby mumbled. I covered my face with my hands. Oh no..."And you called Bradley... with my phone"

"What is going on Max?", Pj furrowed. "You are spiraling"

I sat up, holding my head as I chugged down a painkiller. "What time is it?"

My bestfriends looked at each other. "4am", Pj said.

"And you are awake?"

"We were worried...", Bobby shrugged.

"Just... go to sleep... we have school tomorrow"

***********

I woke up at 10am, glancing at the clock and panicking. Then I heard someone speaking from the corner.

"Don't bother, I already told the school you were sick...", Bobby spoke as he turned to look at me. I let out a relieved breath and sat down.

"Why are you still here?"

"I needed to stay here watching you. You drank too much.", he shrugged. "I told the school what they needed to hear; a lie"

"Well, I'll head to school now, I promised to Patricia we could continue the project at lunch"

Oh right the project...

"I am gonna take a nap..."

****************

At: 4:32pm

I decided to go find Brad, because I had to apologize to him that I called last night... and I... felt bad...

I walked out of the dorm 324 and saw Bradley walking towards mine, his eyes widened.

"How do you know where I live?", I furrowed.

"I live next door!", he scoffed. "326!"

My jaw hung open. "Could you... come inside? I really want to talk to you..."

He shook his head. "I told you, I don't want to be in any contact with you..."

"Brad, please, please... I'm begging..."

"Fine... you have five minutes...", he grunted as he walked in.
