Max's P.O.V.

my phone buzzes at six a.m.

Cameron Boyce(love...: hey, come around later for breakfast?

Maxtronaut: dude. it's like 6 or something. what time, though?

Cameron Boyce (love...: eh. 'round 8 maybe.

Maxtronaut: Okay.

Cameron Boyce (love...: Okay?

Maxtronaut: Okay! i'll freaking come over!

Cameron Boyce (love...: Okay. :)

and i doze back off.

i wake up for real at about an hour later. i get up and brush my teeth and shower. i find a pair of denim cut-offs and pair them with a tube top undershirt and  a basketball jersey i stole from Cam when we were 8. it was oversized on him then but now, it fit me like a loose tank top.

i jogged downstairs and fetched my maroon DC sneakers. i hugged Nathan good morning and headed over across the street.

i was about to ring the doorbell when i was stopped by a post-it on ths front door.

Max-

Had to leave early.

Beinging Maya to a friend's house.

Help yourself to breakfast.

the door's unlocked.

i shrug, take down the note and head inside. the scent of pancakes drifts to my nose.

"Max?" Cameron calls from the kitchen. "Hey!" i call back, closing the door behind me.

i walked into the kitchen and settle onto a stool by the counter. Cameron was pouring two glasses od chocolate milk. he sets them down on the counter and sits across from me. i smile. "what's up?" i ask. he shrugs. "oh, you know thinking." he says vaguely. i scrunch my eyebrows. "'bout what?"

he chuckles a bit and looks down at his hands. "well, not to sound cheesy or cliche or anything but-" he directs his eyes at me. "you." he says. "coudn't stop all night,Max."

iface grows warm. "well i uh..." i stutter. "me too, i guess. i mean. last night was weird but it was a good weird.... right?" he gives me a funny look.

"what?" i ask. he smirks and my heart does a backflip. "i always knew i was your celebrity crush." i laugh. after a moment, i take his hand and say. "yeah. i guess you are."

--------

after eating, i tell him i have to go out with Nathan. we walks me to the door. "later, gator." i say. he gives me that silly half-nod that boys do. i give him a hug. when he pulls away, he taps his cheek. i lean in to give him a quick peck but he beats me to it and turns his head to kiss my cheek first.

(a/n oh yes High School Musical 3 reference right there haha)

"oh hey" says Nathan from the driver's seat. i meet his eyes in the rearview mirror. "yeah?" i say. "how's your practicing going? for the Jessie audition?"

i shrug. "good, i guess. why? did Casey call?" Nathan nodded. "yeah, yeah. just wanted to check on you. make sure you're ready. it's 4 days away after all."

i gulped. "oh..... right."

Gaaahh i'm so nervous.
