"Hey, did you catch the homework questions?"

Awkwardly, you held your books tightly to your chest as you stood behind the red headed girl as she rummaged through her locker. Flipping open a page in her notebook, Max handed you the page where a couple numbers had been scribbled down messily. You held your breath as you memorized the page numbers. Writing them down would take too much time, and you didn't want to keep Max waiting and possibly annoy her. "Thanks," you mumbled, handing the notebook back to the girl.

After she put the book back, Max studied you, her arms crossed and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. This was her thinking face. "What's with you?"

"W-what?"

"You're so... weird," Max stated, "in a good way."

"Oh," you answered. "Sorry."

This made her laugh. This made her laugh a lot harder than you'd expected, though you didn't mind. Her laugh was adorable, and nice. Like a hot drink on a cold winter day.

"See? Weird," Max giggled, shutting her locker closed. She looked down the hallway, and you immediately followed her gaze. A familiar set of four boys paraded down the hall toward the two of you as you sighed. Once they reached you, Max would be gone forever. By forever, that meant until tomorrow. Which was practically forever, seeing as it felt that long. You had about seven point eight seconds.

"Would you want to hang out sometime?" you asked and Max looked back to you, shocked. She tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and shrugged.

"As friends?" you weren't sure if she meant it as a question or a statement.

"I guess."

"You guess?" Max raised an eyebrow and you gulped.

"Mad Max!" Dustin called, coming up behind you. The rest of the boys swarmed around you two. "Hey, Y/N!"

"Hi, Dustin."

"I'll get back to you, Y/N," Max smiled the most genuine and beautiful smile you had ever seen. You tried to smile back, but you were nearly one hundred percent sure that you just looked like an idiot. "See you around!"

"See you."
