"Say, are you pregnant?" I asked Max.
"What?!", he looked at me shocked and confused at the same time.
"I asked if you were pregnant. Because of your constant mood swings," I repeated.
"Dude, are you completely stupid?"
"Fuck you, okay?"
"Maxim and Veronica, can you please continue your arguments during the break and not here while I'm giving my lessons," our teacher complained.
"Yes, sorry," I said and Max remained silent.

"Huh, where did he go now?" I asked myself. I just had my pen in my hand and suddenly it was gone. How did that work? How could they disappear all at once?
"Would you please keep your soliloquies a little quieter? It really gets on my nerves," Max said.
"Don't listen if it bothers you so much," I said regardless to him.
"Just shut the fuck up!"
"Just close your ears!"
"Okay, now it's enough. Veronica and Maxim you both come to me after the lesson. Do you understand?" We nodded. "And now, finally, keep your mouths shut."

The rest of the time, we ignored each other completely. At the end of the lesson, I collected my things in my pocket and waited for everyone to leave the room. Max was still there, of course.
"So you two. Since both of you have been paying such excellent attention, you will prepare a multi-page paper on today's topic. I thought of 10 pages."
"A paper? Okay. Until when do I have time", I asked.
"Until tomorrow. I'm sure it won't be a problem for you as you couldn't stop talking to each other."
"So we have to deliver the papers to you tomorrow in the class?" Max asked now.
"You'll give me the paper tomorrow, right."
"Why the paper? Everybody makes their own, right?"
"No, you both will do one together," he told us.
"Together? With her?"
"Yes, Mr. Graf, you will do a joint paper with Ms. Trafimova." I just twisted my eyes.
"Okay. A joint paper. Until tomorrow. 10 pages. All right. Have a nice day", I said goodbye to my teacher and left the classroom. I went out and looked around for Jacob. But since he was not there and I still hadn't got along with Mia, I joined some of my friends. These friends were actually just girls from my class and not real friends. "Hey," I said and put my bag on a wall.
"Oh hey, Nica. Can we ask you something?"
"Ehm okay," said and waited for a question from Sina.
"What is it like to sit next to Max?" she asked and immediately turned red. At first, I didn't know if they really asked that.
"Anyone else would be better," I replied.
"Why that? Isn't it completely awesome to sit next to him", Ana asked now. Now I noticed again that like every girl, apart from Mia and me, liked Max and absolutely adored him. At least that's how they always expressed themselves when he became the topic. But they didn't dare to talk to him.
"It's anything but awesome," I said to them.
"Well, I would do anything to sit next to him," Ana admitted and everyone else agreed with her.
"He looks great and these tattoos. Just perfect," they raved.
"He's not as great as you think," I said, they immediately silenced and looked away. What did they have now? I turned to the side and saw Max coming to me. Now it was clear to me why they acted like that.
"Hello ladies", he greeted them with a broad grin and their faces, turned suddenly, purple-red. A shy "Hi" was the only thing they brought out.
"I need to talk to you," he said and pulled me by my hand.
"A little softer perhaps," I hissed. "What do you want from me", I asked.
"When should we do the paper? And where?" he asked and looked at me expectantly.
"Suggestion: I do everything alone and put your name under it? We both get a good mark and are satisfied. What do you think of that", I proposed.
"I certainly won't let you do everything alone. Who knows what the fuck you're writing."
"I have an A in this class. I know what I'm writing."
"Forget it. We will do it together. At my place."
"I will definitely not go to you. We'll go to my place."
"Are you afraid that I'm going after you or what? Don't worry you're not my type," he said. I didn't know why this last sentence gave me a tiny sting.
"Whatever. You just come to my place and we'll do this fucking paper there. Okay?"
"Fine", he said irritated and I went back to the girls.

Another one.
