Before it's too late to Save Me (Completed)

Chapter 5

I walked out the end of the line with my tray of food. I stopped and looked for a seat to sit, and then I see Max vigorously waving at me.I then rush over to him and sit down in a spot he had saved for me.

"Hey,KIt-Kat" he perks, I roll my eyes and say "please don't call me that" he doesn't acknowledge my remark and introduces me to three friendly girls at the table. "Delia,Crystal, and Sam, this is Kat" the all nod and wave to me and then introduces me to his guy friends. "That's Jacob, Troy,Dug,Blake, and Elvis" he points to each one of them as he introduces their names to me.

I then start to eat my lunch "So Kat-nip how's the first couple days of school going for you?" Max asks me, I shrug and continue eating my salad. "Have you smiled or laughed yet?" he then asks me with the corners of his mouth tilting upwards, I look at him and roll my eyes. Then he loudly whispers ,interrupting his friend's conversation "Hey,guys we gotta make Kat smile or laugh for real okay" they all look at me and devilishly grin. I glance up at Max smiling at me "Why are you so focused on getting me to smile, like really, during English you were making a complete fool of yourself, just to get something out of me" then he says 'matter-of-factly' "Well you see Kat-nip when you can make a mysterious person like you-" I interrupt him "A mysterious person like me huh,what makes me so mysterious and all?" he then states "Well, when I saw you,you seemed pretty quiet and this kind of sad scowl on your face, and your expression and personality overall is mysterious, but anyways when you make a person like you smile,that means that your warming up to them and that the're opening up to you a little bit. You seem really tense and I'm trying to loosen you up, you know its okay to smile and have fun,right?" I shake my head "Yeah,I used to,before.." I trail off and then Delia says "before what?" "nevermind" trying to shake off, what I had just said.

Finally the day has dragged to a end and I close my locker and zip up my leather jacket and a flash back hits me from when I first got it.

Flashback: "Happy birthday, Kit-Kat!" "I'm just like you daddy,I have a leather jacket just like you!!" "It's a little big on you,but you'll grow into in a couple years. Now remember, you have to take care of it." My little arms rap around his warm neck "I will daddy, Thank you,I love you" he softly chuckles "I know, I love you to, my little Kit-Kat,let me zip your jacket up, to see how much you have to grow." He zips my jacket to my chin and he scratches his chin "You definitely have some growing to do,so I guess you won' be able to wear it for a couple of years I guess" "But, why daddy?" he tilts my chin to meet his eyes "Because, you have to grow up in order to fit the image of who you want to be". :End Of FlashBack.

I come back to reality, realizing that Max is standing in front of me "Hey, Max" "what were you doing there, having like some internal conversation, while I was standing there?" I shake my head and my I grin the slightest bit,but quickly hide it.Then Max points out "I saw that,you know" I roll my eyes and start walking out the door holding it for Max "Hey are you going to that coffee shop today,do you wanna come with?" he says in a inviting voice "I can't I don't have any money" then he grabs my hand "oh, don't worry about that,come on. I'll pay for you" he smiles.

"You didn't have to do that you know" I say as we sit down at a table, sipping up our coffee. He chuckles "but I did anyways... So Kat-nip tell me a little more about yourself, unravel your secrets" I raise an eyebrow,then I see the slightest bit of pink on his cheeks "sorry,I didn't mean for that to sound creepy", "well, there's not much to tell really" I say with a warm smile creeping upon my face.

The Max says anxiously "come on,tell me something...What's your favorite color?" "Rosegold" "alright,we're getting somewhere.. what's your dream?" "what dream,I have no dreams" "come on, what do you wanna be when you get out in this big world?" "I don't know,I'm going with the flow,although I'm kinda interested in doing hair and doing something like that I guess" "I can respect that,from a girl". I roll my eyes "What about you?" he points himself "me? my favorite color green,like the leaves off a forest tree, and I dream of becoming a actor" he says proudly. I give a faint laugh "a actor,huh?" he nods "yep!" I roll my eyes "sure.." I say sarcastically.
