What A School Year (A continuation of 'What A Summer')

Attempted and Failed

*Next day*
"He's not answering any of my texts, Daniel's texts, Cyrus' texts, Buffy's texts, even Walker texted him to say hi and he didn't respond." Andi said. Bex took the eggs she was cooking and put them on a plate. She turned over to Andi.

"His life just changed in the matter of 24 hours, give him time."

"But he was just fine at the movies... this is so unusual for him."

"Well if it means so much to you I'll go and check on him later today." Bex offered.

"Thanks Bex." Andi said. "Next on the agenda, breakfast!"

"Took the words right out of my mouth."

*That afternoon in the park*
"So by what your telling me, you want me to walk up to Daniel and try to distract him from Andi, just to break them up?"

"Precisely Max." Leo said. "Easy!"

"Not exactly." Max said shaking her head. "Theater is stress enough, I don't need Andi, Daniel and Cyrus all down my neck at once."

"And I don't want a carrot head watching my every movie... life ain't fair!"

"A carrot what?!"

"Scratch that. I didn't what to use this but I have no choice." Leo said as he whipped the euro equivalent to 100 dollars.

"Your that desperate you pay me in euros..." Max said sarcastically.

"It's what my cousin sends over from college... exchange it at the mall or something... you want it or not!?"

Max looked at the money before attempting to snatch it, Leo pulled it away.

"Not so fast... Daniel first."

"Ughhhh, fineee..."

Max, walks over to Daniel who was sitting on a park bench. He was drawing something on his sketch pad.

"Heyy Daniel." Max said.

"Hey Max..." Daniel said without looking up from his sketch pad. Max sat down next to him.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure... just make it quick, Andi is gonna be here any minute."

"What do you think of Cyrus' directing? You think he's any good?" Max asked. Daniel finally looked up from his sketch pad.

"Cyrus is doing just fine at directing, why do you ask."

"I just wanted to see if someone shared the same view as me is all." Max said with a small laugh. "Which you do."

Max looked to her left and saw Andi and Cyrus approaching. She immediately whipped around and pulled Daniel in for a kiss which he immediately denied. Daniel pushed Max away and Max looked back over at Andi who was distracted by her dog to notice. Cyrus as well. Daniel scuffed in disgust before grabbing his pen and sketch pad and walking away towards Andi and Cyrus. Max darted back towards Leo.

"I just made a massive fool of my self with out a proper explanation, why am I doing this?"

"Fine." Leo said. "You know whom I have a massive crush on right?"

"Um yeah, the guy you just made me kiss!" Max said with annoyance.

"Well... I only made you do it because-"

"Hey Leo! How's it going?" A voice Leo knew all to well.

"Hey Gus..."

"How's everything going, not getting in trouble are ya? Saying things you aren't supposed too?"
