Some Boys Lie-I Don't Let Them Play
willwrite4coffee
Max Mayfield has always been under the impression that boys are just dumb.
Between Billy’s callous behavior and her dad not being around, she’s become incredibly confident in the idiocy of the male species.
Don’t get her started on Neil.
That being said, she really does like Lucas. He’s cute and he makes her laugh, and he’s never afraid to step up to bat for her. It’s never necessary, Max can handle herself, but it’s nice to know.
Unfortunately, he’s also a massive asshole sometimes, and so are his friends.
El and Max have never been the closest, mostly due to serious miscommunication when the other girl was missing and jealousy that was never addressed, so she’s kind of bewildered when El shows up outside her house.
The other girl looks heartbroken and confused, so Max welcomes her in and lets her vent in her bedroom.
She’s not even close with El, but Max is about ring Wheeler’s neck.
Max’s chest aches because El doesn’t get it. Nana’s about as sick as Billy right now.
El is so nice and naive, standing up for Mike when he’s being a dick.
“But, friends don’t lie,” she says softly, as if trying to make herself believe it.
“Yeah, well, boyfriends lie,” Max counters, her frustration echoing in waves.
“All. the. time.”
El’s shoulders cave in, and she plays with the frayed hem of the flannel she’s wearing.
Max, pitying El, plops down beside her on the bed and bumps her shoulder.
“Hey, El, you know Party rules, right?”
The other girl looks up, eyebrows furrowed.
“Friends don’t lie?”
“Well, yeah, that’s rule one, but there’s also the other rules.”
“I..don’t follow.”
“There’s also ‘whoever draws blood, shakes hands first’.”
El stares blankly at the redhead.
“Which means,” Max begins slowly, “that because Mike lied, he has to apologize first. Rule of Law.”
“But, I didn’t bleed?”
“El, he needs to apologize because he lied, alot. He also hurt your feelings, which is kind of like blood, so he needs to apologize first.”
“Then I apologize?” the brunette asks.
“No, you did nothing wrong. He treated you like garbage.”
“But, what if he doesn’t apologize? Or call?”
Max scoffs, as if the idea is ridiculous. Wheeler is so whipped for her, she’s surprised he hasn’t already called, blubbering apologies and begging for forgiveness.
