''S'upp Max!''
Max looks up rather startled when I walked in to the classroom and hit him on his shoulder.
''Holy shit! Mie, calm the fuck down!''
I burst out laughing and while trying to catch a breath I say: ''I need to calm down? Are you serious? Who in this room just jumped up when I touched his shoulder? What? Is that question to hard for you? Shall I just answer it for you? MAX CARTER! Dingdingding.'' I say trying to imitate a slot machine.
Max looks at me irritated.
''Ah I'm sorry, Maxxie. I know you're having a hard enough time without an annoying person like me bothering you. But I just wanted to get your mind of off things, well that obviously didn't work.''
He gives me a weak, obviously fake smile. Okay that one was really fake. Maybe I should pretend I didn't see it.
''I am just tired, Mie.''
''Max?''
''yeah?''
''Don't put to much pressure on yourself, okay?''
''What? No, of course not.''
Well, he obviously didn't meant what he said.
''Maxxie, I am serious. I know you want to do everything on your own. But just take it easy. When there is something you can't do on your own, or if something isn't going as it's supposed to please don't doubt and just come to me. I would do everything I can to help you.''
I look at him comforting. Okay I have to admit this was a bit cheesy but I meant every word.
''Max and Milan. I am aware that you guys are having a rough time because of recent events. And I agreed to forget about the past disturbances, but I won't do that again. I would like to start my English lesson. So if you don't want to go to detention I suggest that the two of you stop interrupting me and pay attention. Thank you very much.''
Oops, he sounded irritated. Me and Max exchange some looks and we both nearly burst out laughing but thank god we were able to keep it in.
It's the end of the day and Max somehow made it trough his first day back.
''Maxxie? It's just half past two and we are already out of school. What about a few games of FIFA at my place?''
Max didn't respond but his face shows that he's thinking. He is obviously thinking about an excuse. I am his best friend, it's only logical that I notice him thinking up an excuse.
''You've got to be kidding me. You aren't going to work, are you? You were obviously thinking of a excuse.'', I look at him anxious while saying this. I don't want him to get stressed out again. Max cheeks flushed a bright pink.
''No, no, no really I am not. You know what the doctor said. Just school. Come on, Mie. Who do you think I am? I - I'm just tired. A-And, erm. I.''
Max stays quiet for a moment, thinking.
''I actually wanted to get some sleep when I got home, and I, erm, well I am just a bit embarrassed to tell you this.''
I don't believe him bit I still say: ''Maxxie, come on. You shouldn't have to be embarrassed about that. Get some sleep, you deserve it!''
