“What happened?” asks Sky as they sat together later that night in Max’s living room.

“Uh, well now I have to have an extra detention,” says Max.

“Sorry, it’s my fault, you should’ve stayed, I could have caught a ride with someone,” says Sky.

“Nah, it’s okay I am having it with Mr. Johnson, so its kind of cool. Besides I wouldn’t want to leave you in danger,” says Max smiling.

“Wow, I thought that you liked Jayden,” says Sky sarcastically.

Max flicks her shoulder,”Whatever, I got you the pass. Praise me now,” says Max jokingly.

Sky slaps his shoulder,”Max, I researched a little bit about abortion, I could go to the clinics, well actually I set an appointment on Saturday. I was wondering..." trails off Sky, tentatively broaching the subject.

"I'll give you a ride on Saturday after I go to kendo class," says Max, turning serious immediately.

Sky nods,"I don't know if I want to keep or get rid of this baby honestly. I think that by going to a clinic, maybe they would be able to offer me some good advice."

Max nods and pats her hand showing that he supports her,"Let's talk about something lighter."

"Jayden Huang looks like an Asian pop artist, I would say he was hot if you didn't already claim him. Besides, he is way too much like me, it would be like dating myself. Plus, he needs some color and some muscle," says Sky.

"He looks really hot to me," said Max with a day-dreamy smile,"His art and music is beautiful too."

Sky just laughs at her best friend, he punches her playfully. Max then smirks,”How about that date with Miss Jeffers.”

She pouts at him,”Shove off.”

Max laughs,”Wouldn’t it be awesome if you and Jayden did like a collaboration?”

“The only reason you want me to do a collaboration with him is so you can see him more often. Didn’t you know that we had art class together?” she asks him with a smile on her face.

“Why haven’t you introduced me before?” says Max, pouting slightly.

She just smirks,”Well, I just needed to see you suffer for a while. I thought that you would grow some balls and ask him out or something.”

Max glares,”That is kind of rude, besides you aren’t making a move on Leigh either.”

Sky just laughs at him,”Maybe I will do an art or music collaboration.”

"You never know maybe you could be the next Michael Jackson or Mozart," says Max with a smile. 

Avoiding Sky’s punch "I'm going to go get us some food, vegetables and a little of meat, I am pretty sure that mass hunger when you came was only temporary," he says.

“I’m not into that kind of music and art, you know that,” Sky yells after him. 

Max comes back with rice,vegetables, and little bit of meat. "Here, don't starve yourself because you're afraid of puking it up. Your body needs nutrition, it's because your body is developing the placenta," says Max with another smile.

Sky cocks her head slightly confused on how her best friend went from ignorant to knowing so much so quickly. Noticing her questioning look he just laughed.

"I want to be a doctor eventually, although I don't know what kind yet. But when I like something, I go crazy and research it," says Max with his trademark smile.

"Just like how you stalk Jayden, I bet you know what kind of cologne he uses, and what he washes his clothes with," says Sky teasing him.

Max leans against the door “It smells like cinnamon and nutmeg, and he washes his clothes with whatever kind of detergent is the cheapest in the store." 

“Well, then, Mr. Stalker, someones a little bit crazy about a certain someone,” says Sky.

“Well, someone is a little crazy about Leigh Jeffers,” responds Max.

Their light banter carried out through the night.
