LIFE IS STRANGE (Chloe x Male OC)

Chapter 3

I walked out of my room about 30 minutes prior to the fire alarm incident and decided to go outside and chill, and see if anyone I know is around (not that I know a lot of people as, well I'm the 'loner type' around here.) I saw Max walking around with something in her hands, looks like a USB drive or something, I don't know. She was heading towards the parking lot. Not that I'm nosy or anything but I was curious on who she was meeting up with and all so I decided to follow her there as well, I heard around the dorms that she reported Nathan Prescott for having a gun in the girls bathroom, It wasn't an orgy after all, and so I might as well be a look out in case the scum decides to show up and confront her about it. I saw she was meeting some long haired boy. I think someone said his name was Warren Gayham or something, but hey I won't judge if his last name's that. They were both sitting on, what I'm assuming is his car, talking about something. I decided to make myself known and walk into direct view of them from afar. Leaning against the brick wall near the steps and pretending to text or something on my phone. This was short lived however as Nathan Prescott walked into view headed straight for Max and the Warren kid. 

"Get away from her, Dude!" I heard Warren say. He tried shoving Nathan out of the way but he was headbutted and fell to the ground in the process. I quickly ran over and shoved Nathan. He turned around and looked at me, smirking he said "Ah, If it isn't new boy" He shoved me "How's your first day, I heard you were practically crying in class? Is it because of Daddy and his prison story?" "Don't ever mention him!" I said through clenched teeth. "Aw why not? you're nothing like your dad, in fact your the opposite. You've got no balls so I would never expect someone like you to come and fight me." That was it. Punch. Right to his face. He tumbled backwards before re-composing his balance. He landed another good punch, except this time to my face. I fell on the ground and got back up after feeling slightly dizzy. "Hey leave them alone" I heard Max say. Nathan grabbed her under her chin and threw her around aggressively. "No one tells me what to do! Not my parents, not the principal, And not that whore in the bathroom!" "Stop!" Max said, while scraping her nails across Nathan's face. He held a hand to his face while pushing Max with the other. I ran over to Max. A truck came to a halt right in front of max and she used the car hood to support herself as she stood up. "Max?" "Chloe?". It was that blue haired chick from the bathroom. She looked to me. "Who's that?" "Now's not the time" Max replied. Chloe looked out the front window and saw Nathan approaching us. "Both of you get in now!" Wow, she doesn't even know me and she's inviting me into her truck. "Now green bean!" Green bean?.. With that said I hopped into the truck after Max. I was about to lift my right foot into the truck when Nathan slammed the door shut behind me with his rough kick, scraping my foot with it. "Arghh fuck!" Max and Chloe looked over. "Shit. I'll take you to mine, you can bandage that up there. And Max? you can find tools to fix your camera". "Get your punk asses out of there now!" Nathan said. "Don't even try to run! Nobody messes with me! NOBODY!!". Warren grabbed Nathan and pushed him to the ground while repeating to punch Nathan's face. "Go! I've got him!" "Oh you got me Grayham?" Ohhhh his last name's Grayham, not Gayham. Huh..you learn something new everyday. Chloe drove off and out of the school parking lot and the last thing I saw was Mr. Madsen intervening with Warren's and Nathan's fight.

We have drove about 5 minutes away from the school and was heading to Chloe's house. Max and Chloe were catching up and I was just rubbing my now bleeding ankle. It was kinda awkward as there's only two seats but the passenger is big enough for two people so Max and I are technically sharing. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Chloe. "So new boy? Do you have a name you want to share?" "Oh my bad. My name's Cody Travanos.." "Cool name, Chloe Price. I figure you've already met Max Caulfield as you stuck up for her alongside nerd boy back there, who by the way Max clearly wants to get in your pants." "Gross Chloe" Max said. "So how's your ankle?" Max asked. "Bleeding and hurts, but It'll be fine." "Yikes Cody, that looks like more than 'It hurts'. Possibly infected if you don't get that cleaned up soon." "Yeah, Yeah. Cody will live, We're nearly at my place anyway so you won't have to worry. I have all the supplies in the bathroom, I think. So you can patch it up when we get there." Chloe said. "Okay, thanks. And thanks for letting me in your truck and house and stuff when you don't even know me." "No problem dude. You seem pretty cool!" "So what's your backstory?" Chloe asked. "I'd rather not say, yet.." "Nathan said something about your dad and prison.. you got pretty mad at that." Max said. "Yeah...I'll tell you more another time." "Okay dude, whenever. Now let's go get that wound fixed!" Chloe said as we zoomed down the main road headed to her house.
