Chapter 5: alien + school=?

Waking up to the smell of pancakes, Tuesday , school has come back. No wonder the morning felt slow. Walking downstairs, seeing his mother and Kevin eating bacon and pancakes with the smell of fresh coffee sinking into the air.
"This looks great mom thanks."
Eating 5 pancakes almost taking all the bacon and drinking 2 cups of coffee his mother looks in shock.
"Calm down Max there's still food left."
"Sorry mom I'm just really hungry."
Kevin stares as Max puts 3 pancakes in his mouth and eats them so easily without choking. Bacon piece after piece till they are all gone. The last drop of coffee gone.
"That was good thanks mom I gotta get ready to go to school."
"Alright Max go ahead I'll drive you guys."

Staring out the car the school a few blocks down , a 5 minute drive but a 15 minute walk. Strange how that works. Arriving Max says bye to his mom and Kevin and exits walking into the building saying hi to teachers.
"THIS IS YOUR SCHOOL?"
Max almost frightened looks around and enters the bathroom looking to see if nobody was inside.
"I almost forgot you were still a thing. And yes this is my school, look don't be just yelling in my ear okay I don't wanna be seen as a weird kid who talks to himself. Lunch is in exactly 2 hours at that time we can eat."
"FINE I WILL BE QUIET BUT ITS BEST THAT LUNCH WILL SATISFY ME"
"You'll see."

Entering first period the classroom almost full. Some kids still coming in. The teacher looking at everyone making sure nobody has headphone or a hat on.
"Now class remember that tomorrow we have no school, so today will be a brief relaxing day and then Thursday we will begin work again alright."
Students turn to talk with others and some pull out their phone plugging their head phones. Laughs around the room. Pulling out a book and standing it up resting his head Max shuts his eyes. Remembering the feeling of swinging across the city.
"WE CAN TRY IT AGAIN IF YOU WANT"
Max sitting up straight almost frightened, whispering to himself.
"I thought we had a deal, also how do you know what I was thinking of?"
"I AM IN YOUR THOUGHTS, I CAN KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IF I WANTED TO"
"Alright well just be quiet okay?"
"FINE BUT HEADS UP YOU HAVE SOMEONE TALKING TO YOU"
Looking up seeing a familiar face, a middle school friend, Lily. Her blonde hair and brown eyes, wearing a thrasher shirt with fire writing , and ripped jeans going well with her black shoes.
"Hi Max who are you talking to?"
"Hi Lily , nobody I was just reading."
"Your book is upside down."
Looking at his book flipping it , "I know I was just practicing seeing if I could read upside down well."
She chuckles, "So what you do for thanksgiving break?"
"Nothing really just stayed at home like any other day."
"Same to be honest I just had a big dinner is all. Anything new with you anything exciting?"
"Umm... no not really I'm still the same I've always been."
"OH PLEASE"
"Like I said Lily I'm the same."

The day went by slowly, Max back to the 2nd floor from lunch , to 5th period. Gym.
"YOU LIKE THAT GIRL?"
Whispering to himself while on the bleachers, "were just friends."
"THAT DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION"
"Hey Max come down will you, why don't you try out."
The coach looking at Max asking him to try out for the wrestling team. Kids in wrestling outfits staring at him.
"Oh no I don't wrestle." 
"Can't hurt to try come on, impress the ladies will you." He laughs.
Max looking around seeing Lily with her friends smiling at him. Taking off his back pack and walking down. Whispering to himself, "Carnage give me some strength will you."
"Alright Max you here and you kid here, remember a clean one, first off the mat loses, first to 2 in a row wins."
The two grab each other Max pushing as much as he can but the other guy stronger than him pulling him up throwing him across the mat. Max gets up seeing the laughter of everyone. Annoyed he says , "again."
The two go at it again , "LET US SHOW THEM MAX"
Max grabbing him by the waist throwing him a foot away from the mat slamming against the floor. Shocked faces everywhere. Max looking at the kid getting up.
"One more point right?"
The kid runs at him Max flipping over him doing a spin then landing behind him grabbing him by the waist pulling him up slamming him against the mat. The kid tapping the mat 3 times. The coach grabbing Max's arm pulling it up, "Winner." Looking seeing people clap and Lily clapping smiling. "WE SHOWED THEM ALL"
"Have you thought of joining Max you have some talent on you."
"No I don't like wrestling, but thanks anyways."
"Well alright Max but impressive work."

Walking to 8th period, last class of the day, Algebra. Lily catching up to him.
"That was impressive Max."
"Oh hi, thanks I guess it was."
"You ever wrestle before ? You do have strength on you."
"No not really that was just luck."
"Well good job , I'm pretty sure you impressed more people than you intended to, I was."
She walks away and Max slowly walks into class smiling at what she said.
"I THINK SHE LIKES YOU TOO MAX"
"Shut up Carnage she just being nice."

The day seemed to be slow but then fast. Walking out the school looking around before walking home. A tap on his shoulder, Max turning around.
"Hey Max."
"Hey Lily."
"You going home?"
"Well yeah there's not much to do you know."
"Wanna go eat a slice of pizza with me?"
"Umm sure Lily."
A guy walking up to Max and shoving him.
"Hey who is you?"
Lily putting her hand on him.
"Kyle just stop okay we're just friends."
"I don't care Lily who this scrawny kid think he doing huh who you looking at huh."
Max staring almost cocky knowing what he can do.
"Cmon Max lets just go."
Max and Lily walk Max turning back seeing him stare at. Max turning back and seeing him once again until he sees Kyle run after him throwing a punch.
