I SIT UNDER THE BLEACHERS WHERE ME AND MY FRIENDS WATCH  THE SENCE STEALERS AS WE CALL THEM PLAY. I BEEN SITTING HERE ALL DAY , I COULD'NT BARE TO GO SCHOOL ,I GUESS IT  BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS I WAS GONNA GO TO PRINCETON AND TO ADMIT I CAN'T FACE IT YET 

. "WELL MIA DRAYS WHAT YOU DOING IN THESES PARTS ." I HEAR FROM BEHINDE ME .

 I TURN AROUND AND HIS STUNNING BLUE EYES TAKES MY BREATHE AWAY .

 WHEN A SECOUND HAS PAST I REPLY  WITH "MAX ROGAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THESES PARTS ."

 "ARE YOU GETTING HIGH OR DRUNK ? HE ASKS 

I AM APLAUD BY HIS QUESTION ." NO I AM NOT HIGH OR DRUNK YOU IDIOT . "I YELL 

" SORRY " HE SAYS AND SITS DOWN NEXT TO ME CLOSER THAN HE SHOULD ,MY HEART RACES . " MOST PEOPLE EITHER COME HERE TO GET HIGH OR DRUNK OR MAKE OUT .: " HE ADDS IN 

AND THERE A SWEETNESS IN HIS VOICE ,IT IS A DIFFRENT SIDE I NEVER SEEN OF MAX BEFORE . 

"SO WHY ARE YOU DOWN HERE THAN MIA ? " HE ASKS WITH HIS BLUE EYES LOOKING INTO MINE 

. " I NEED TO BE SOMEWHERE , I DID'NT KNOW PEOPLE CAME HERE FOR ALL THAT ." I REPLY 

HE LETS OUT A LITTLE LAUGH . FOR A SECOND I AM LOST   BUT THEN I REALIZE HE IS HERE TOO . 

" SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?" I ASK 

I WAIT FOR HIS ANSWER BUT HE ONLY SMILES . 

" WELL " I WHINE "

 I REALLY DON'T THINK HE IS INTO DRUGS HE IS TOO MUCH ABOUT HIS BASEBALL CARRER ,I KNOW HE DRINKS BUT AT SCHOL ,BUT NOW MAKING OUT YEA THAT WHAT HE WOULD BE DOING THEY WAY I HEAR IT HE KISSES ALOT .

" SO YOU MEETING A GIRL I WILL LEAVE SO YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU DO ." I SAY

 " WHAT ,WAIT I AM NOT HERE TO MEET SOMEONE I AM EARLIER FOR PRACTICE AND SAW YOU AND KNEW YOU WASN'T THE KIND OF GIRL TO DO THOSES THINGS ."HE SAYS 

"YOU ARE RIGHT" I SAY AND PULL BACK MY HAIR . 

" I NEVER EVEN CUT CLASS BEFORE ,THIS MY 1ST TIME ." I SAY 

"YOU NEVER HAD ,SO WHY NOW " HE SAYS AND LOOKS AT ME AND FROM SOME REASON I TELL HIM .

" MY DREAM COLLAGE IS JUST THAT A DREAM I FOUND OUT THE OTHER DAY  I DID'NT GET IN ." I SAY 

" SORRY " HE SIMPLY SAYS 

" THAT SUCKS BUT YOU WILL GET WHERE YOU NEED TO BE ."HE FOLLOWS UP WITH

 ." NO MAX THIS WAS WHAT I ATE WHAT I DRANKED EVERYTHING WAS PRINCETON , I GAVE UP SO MUCH NEVER SKIPED NEVER WENT TO PARTIES NEVER REALLY WENT ON A DATE  . I AM JUST SO MAD . " I SAY

 "YOU WANNA GO DO SOMETHING I DO WHEN I AM MAD AND UPSET ?" HE ASKS 

..................................ON THE WAY HERE I THOUGHT OF A MILLION DIFFERENT THING MAX ROGAN DOES TO CALM DOWN WHEN HE IS MAD BUT WHERE HE TOOK ME WASN'T ONE . HE HANDS ME A PLATE OFF THE PILE

 " GO ON JUST THROW IT . "HE SUGGESTS 

I DO BUT NOT THAT HARD ." COME ON ARE YOU REALLY MAD OR JUST WHATEVER ." HE SAYS 

"I MEANS THIS IS WHAT YOU BEEN WORKING FOR . " HE SAYS 

I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS TRYING TO BE MEAN OR MAKE MY BLOOD BUBBLE , BUT MY BLOOD IS BUBBLING . I THROW EACH PLATE ONE BY ONE WHILE SAYING 

 " I AM NOT MAD OR WHATEVER I AM BEYOND MAD EVEN MORE THAN FURIOUS I AM I AM I AM INFURIATED . "

 THEN I TAKE A BREATH

 " NO ACTUALLY I  MADE A BIG MESS LAST NIGHT BUT I CLEANED UP ,THIS MORNING " I SAY

 " OH YOU ARE BAD " HE SAYS AND LAUGHS AS WE WALK OUT THE DOOR

 . I HAVE A FEELING LIKE I NEVER HAD BEFORE ,LIKE I WAS CLOSE TO HIM LIKE I WANTED TO BE CLOSER . THE WAY HE IS LOOKING AT ME I THINK HE FEELS IT TOO . HIS PHONE RINGS FOR LIKE THE 10TH TIME HE HAS NOT ANSWERED ONCE ,BUT THIS TIME HE DOES ,NO DOUBT A GIRL . HE WALKS OFF WHERE I CAN'T HERE I WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK . 

I HEAR HIM SAY  " OK SORRY " HE PUTS THE PHONE IN HIS POCKET HIS FACE LOOKS LIKE HE IS WORRIED .

 I DON'T ASK HIM WHAT IS WRONG ,I DON'T WANT TO PRY ESPECIALLY  IF IT IS ONE OF HIS MANY GIRLS HE SEES .

. " SO I HAVE TO YOU TAKE YOU HOME ,YOU THINK YOU ARE OK " HE SAYS WITH A SMILE

 . "YEA I ANSWER
