-Max-
I slowly woke up to the smell of bacon and pancakes. I opened my eyes quickly closing them after being blinded by the light. I blinked rapidly letting my eyes adjust to the brightness of the room. It took me a second to realize where I was, Chloe's new room still throws me off. I looked over to my left to see that I was missing a Chloe. I got up out of bed and went downstairs.

Where's Chloe.

I said referring to where's Waldo. When I came downstairs I couldn't decide what I was more surprised at the fact that Chloe was cooking food or the fact that Chloe didn't have a beanie on exposing her lightly faded pink roots.

It took a while before Chloe noticed me standing at the door frame.

"Morning Super Max." She said looking over at me for a brief second while smiling. "Sleep well?"

"Yup way better then sleeping on my sucky dorm bed." I said as I walked over to her.

"No my house balls to the walls sucks when Sargent Shithead and Joyce is here." Chloe complained.

"Well your bed is comfortable."

"Got me there." Chloe said as she turned the pancake on the pan.

"What! You made pancakes instead of waffles?" I laughed.

"Max don't get me started."

"I'm kidding Chloe. It's smells great" I said as I sat at the dinning table across from the kitchen.

"I hope you like pancakes and bacon." She said as she turned off the stove and brought both plates over.

"Are you high of course I like bacon and pancakes." I said sounding amazed that she would even say that.

"Okay well my cooking might not be as great as Joyce. You've been warned." She said sitting in the chair next to me.

"Noted."

We began to split the bacon and pancakes evenly between the two plates.

"Drool. I'm so ready for this." I said grabbing my fork and knife.

"Eat up Munchy Max." She chuckled.

As soon as I took a bite of the pancakes the fluffiness and flavor made me close my eyes.

"When did you learn how to make these bomb pancakes." I said enjoying the taste in my mouth.

"When your mom works at a diner you try to recreate all the good shit you eat there." She said taking a bite of her bacon causing a satisfying crunching sound to appear.

"Well this might be even better then the two whales." I said taking a bite of my delicious bacon.

"Maybe I can make a restaurant and get hella cash." Chloe smiled.

"Definitely." I agreed.

We finished up the rest of our breakfast and after that we decided to go to her room again.

"Yeah we have a contest for Mr. Jefferson's class." I said somehow getting into this topic.

"Did you enter yet?"

"No..." I answered honestly and looked at the floor.

"Max. What the hell." Chloe said. "Turn something in."

"I don't know what to turn in and plus I'm scared shitless to."

"Why?"

"Because I'm scared that...I won't be good enough."

"Max." She said as she forced me to look at her. "Your photos are hella great and you have to show people that it is or you'll never know if it is. Every artist gets rejected before they make it. You just have to stop....being afraid." Chloe paused at her last part causing us to sit there in silence.

It wasn't a awkward stare but I didn't know what it meant either.

"Um but yeah Max." Chloe said breaking the silence.

"I hear you Chloe but I'm still scared."

"Just turn something in and see what happens."

"Okay."

"Hell yes." She said as she hugged me. "You're going to do fine."

We relaxed from the hug and Chloe asked a question I wasn't expecting at all.

"Can I see you take pictures?"

"What really you wanna see it ?" I asked.

"Yeah why the hell not I can then say that I saw a hella famous artist at work who just so happens to be my best friend." Chloe smiled.

"Okay but it's a very boring process."

"It can't be boring if you do it."

I looked at her like she was crazy.

"Chloe I'm the queen of boring."

"No your not Max! Between being able to time traveling and being a artist. Your anything but boring"

"I'm just a shy cliché geek in Blackwell Academy with my blue haired best friend."

"See even I'm not boring so how can you be?"

"You have to admit I'm a nerd."

"Your not a nerd you just know your stuff." Chloe corrected.

"Sure."

"Caulfield what's your GPA?"

"2.8" I sadly admitted.

"Oh shit never mind." Chloe laughed. "Aren't you suppose to be the smart one in this relationship."

"Shut up I don't pay attention in any class except for Mr. Jefferson's."

"Oh Mr. Jefferson he must be pretty hot if he's the only one who has your undivided attention." Chloe nudged at me.

"You are out of control." I said pushing Chloe.

"So I'm told. But back to the original topic lemme see the artist at work!"

"It's not that interesting." I stated.

"Mystic Max come on, let's just see were it goes and if it's as boring as you say it is then we'll do something else."

"I don't know."

"Come on Max." Chloe pleaded.

I thought about if for a second.

"Fine." I finally agreed.

"Awesome sauce. Where do you wish to go Max Preps?"

"I have no clue."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously." I admitted. "Wait this is your wish Shaka brah where do you wanna go?"

"Shaka brah just keeps coming back doesn't."

"It's growing on me."

"You should probably cut if off before it infects you."

"Shut up." I laughed as I lightly pushed her.

"How about we drive around and if you see something that inspires you we'll stop and let you work your magic."

I thought about it before agreeing with her idea.

"Okay cool lets do it."

"Woah Max be careful don't take words out of context." She chuckled as she grabbed her keys and headed out the door and I followed.

"You're impossible." I laughed at her.

"So I've been told." Chloe said as she started the car. "This is going to be epic."
