Chapter 12

When Monday came I walked down to the bus stop and waited for max.
"Hey," he said Walking up behind me.
I smiled at him. I was going to ask him something that he probably would say no to but I was going to try anyway.
"Do you want to have a birthday party this year," I asked hopefully.
Max never liked party's ever sense he was little. For three years he had invited tons of people and I was the only one who had showed up.
"I don't want one,as long as you show up I'll be fine," he said looking me straight in the eyes.
"Ok," I said breaking our eye contact to grab his hand. I knew I couldn't argue with him. I had tried so hard over the years to make him invite other people but he always said no. I had even thrown a surprise party with some people from school in 9th grade but he had stomped out in a huff and refused to come back until everyone was gone. The sound of the bus reached my ears and I jerked my hand away. Max looked at me with startled,wide eyes. I just smiled at him. I hadn't meant to do that but I didn't want Alex to see us. Max went first and I followed behind. As I passed Alex we touched hands and sparks traveled through me. I smiled at Alex as I passed him. Sitting down next to max we started planing for his birthday party.

I sat down next to Alex when I got to my first hour.
He touched my cheeks and whispered.
"You make me so hungry,"
I laughed "why,"
"Because you remind me of milk chocolate," he said squeezing my cheek.
My eyes widened and I started slapping him on the arm.
"Ow ow ow, abuse, I'm being abused," he yelled.
Some people turned around in there seat and laughed. Getting my folder out I laughed some more.
The class went by fast mostly because Alex and I kept making paper airplanes and throwing them when the teacher wasn't looking. some people joined in and we had a throwing contest to throw the paper airplanes in to the trash can.
Alex walked me to my next class and gave me a kiss on the cheek and he left right when max came. I sat down in front of max.
"so sense your party is soon you need to decide on the cake. " I said.
"its in two days I have time," he wined.
"oh my gosh," I laughed "fine let's talk about it after school."

The day went by quickly and then I was walking out with max when I just remembered something.
"Max I'm sorry I have to go!"
"What why," looking at me with confusion "did you forget something"
" Kinda I have a new job at the library."
His eyes widened. "how did you forget something like that"
"I don't know!" I took out my phone and checked the time. Only fifteen minutes to get there.
"Bye," I said turning around I started running and I heard max yell, "I'll pick you up!"
"Ok,"I said running backwards and waving.
And as I turned around the only word I thought the whole way there was crap crap crap!
