MAXIMILIAN GOOF

5:30AM.
Max was standing in the coffee shop ordering himself a coffee that had enough caffeine to kill god at 5:30AM.He didn't even know why he was awake that early.He didn't have any classes until 1PM.

So there Max was just riding around on his skateboard sipping coffee.
Bobby and PJ were both still asleep so he had some time for himself.

For some reason Max' mind drifted to Bradley.Max took pity in him. It was clear that Max's win influenced Bradley.And that not in a good way. The other boy seemed more tired,more exhausted and definitely less motivated to do anything.

Max skated through the parking lot. He had made it a habit to check out the cars parked there.
His eyes drifted over the many cars there. He wasn't really the biggest car enthusiast but he did appreciate good looking and fast cars.

He stopped his board when he noticed something move in a car.An old Toyota. He downed the rest of his coffee before making his way closer to the vehicle.
Someone was sleeping inside it. Bright pants,White button up with a purple Pullover over it.

Bradley.

A little surprised he took a step back.He hadn't expect Bradley of all people to be sleeping in his car. Of course Max was aware of the tension between the rich boy and the rest of his fraternity but he didn't think it was that bad already. The sight of Bradley sleeping in his car looking vulnerable made Max feel even worse.

A part of him wanted to knock on the cars window and talk to the other boy. He decided against that. Him and Bradley weren't on good terms so it would probably just piss the older boy off.

------------------

Later that day in class Max was doing his best to pay attention to his teachers ramblings but for the love of god he couldn't care less about what she was talking about. His gaze slowly moved over to the boy sitting next to him.

Since the Tank and the others wouldn't let Bradley sit with them anymore,the boy had to search a new place to sit. Coincidentally the seat right next to Max was free.
So now the two boys sat next to each other.

Max took a small piece of paper and scribbled onto in.
'Brad, are you okay?'
Max's writing was messy but somehow still readlable.He passed the note to the other boy.
Max watched as Bradley read the note.

When the note got back to the black haired kid Bradley had added a 'ley' to his Brad.
Underneath the other boy had written
'I'm fine. Why do you even care??'
Bradley's writing was clean.

'You seem off.Are you sure you're okay?You can talk to me, you know.'
Max wrote onto the paper before giving it back to Bradley.

No response.

Instead the boy crumbled it up and stuffed it into his pocket. There wasn't much Max could do since it was in the middle of a lesson and Max didn't want to force Bradley to talk to him if he didn't want to.

For now Max was going to focus on trying to at least not be seen as a rival by Bradley and maybe they could even be friends some day.
But that seemed like it would never happen.

------------------

After his lessons for the day finally ended he was sitting in the library reading a comic. The Batman and Robin one where Dick Grayson is the Batman and Damian Wayne his Robin.

He noticed Bradley sitting in a corner reading what looked to be 'The song of Achilles'.
So he likes Greek mytholog, Max thought to himself.He was definitely going to do his best to remember that.

Max closed his comic and walked over to Bradley who was sat in a bean bag.The black haired kid kneeled down Infront of him.
"Hey,Brad"
Max said.He could practically hear Bradley rolling his eyes.

"Bradley.What do you want, Maximilian."
The older boy corrected him.

"Okay,no it's kinda weird if you call me that.Uh,Anyway are you busy?"
Max asked with a big grin on his face.
He just wanted Bradley to give a distraction.
"PJ is hanging out with Vicky and Bobby is third wheeling them.So if you want we could hang out."

"And why would I want to hang out with you?"
Bradley closed his book.Besides his usually annoyed and bitchy facial expression he did look a little curious.

"Because we both have nothing better to do.Come on it'll be fun."

"...alright."
