"I'm hungry now." Max says.

"Me too." I agree, standing up. "Let's go to my house."

"Alright." He nods. We got of the rock and I get on my bike with Bruno in the basket. Max gets picks up his long board and we go to my house.

"So, what time is Hayes supposed to come back?" Max asks.

"He said he is gonna be home late." I shrug.

We get to my house and head straight to the kitchen.

"Hey guys." Dad smiles at max.

"Hi sir." Max smiles back.

"Take a seat max. We were just about to eat dinner."

"Thank you sir." Max smiles and takes a seat. I softly laugh at how nervous max is. My dad's a big guy. He's 6'5 with wavy, strawberry blonde hair and crystal blue eyes.

"Hi sir, thank you sir." I mimic max softly.

"Shut up." He whispers, flicking the back of my head. I laugh take a seat next to him.

"Oh, hi max!" My mom smiles when she enters the kitchen.

"Hi Mrs. Matthews." Max gets out of his seat and gives me mom a hug then sits back down.

"Oh max," she laughs. "Call me Estella. Whatever makes you comfortable."

Max nods and mom takes a seat. My dad sets all the plates on the table before sitting down. My dad made burritos and we ate together. After dinner, max left home and my parents and I sat at the couch and watch movies.

Monday// after first period

"Where are you Hayes?" I ask my self as max and I walk to my locker.

"Why isn't Hayes here today?" Max asks.

"I'm not sure. He hasn't called me." I put my books away and grab my science book, shutting my locker after.

"You should call him." Max suggests.

I nod and call Hayes on my phone. After I've called him twice, I give up and turn my phone off. "We're gonna be late for class." I tell max and we walk off to class.

The next periods went by quickly. But I'm glad because they kept my off the thought of Hayes. I wonder why he hasn't called me? Or even texted me. I hope he's okay. Hopefully he got home safe.

I walk to the lunch line and Klaryssa walks towards me. "Hi." She gives me a hug and grabs a trey.

"Hey! How was the concert yesterday?" I ask.

"It was amazing. I meet lots of new people and it was so much fun. So much adrenaline and it was pumped." She smiles.

"Wow. That sound awesome." I grab my food and pay for my lunch. I pay ahead for another month so I won't have to pay everyday.

"Yeah, where's Hayes?" She asks.

"I'm not sure. He hasn't called me." I answer and we walk back together.

"Oh. Well, I'll see you later." She smiles and walks off. I walk to my lunch table and take a seat.

"Hey." Taylor hugs me and sits down next to me.

"Hi." I look at max who is just across me. I wiggle my eyebrow and he gives me a dirty look. I softly laugh. "Taylor, doesn't max look good today. I'm really digging that new hair cut." I say loudly.
