Maxine POV

              Its been about a week since Jade's...incident so now everyone alright to hang around with the unstables. Just like Iris said everyday i'd come over and she'd help me out with algebra...am i 29 and JUST learning algebra? yes. is it kinda embarrassing...yes. Am i thankful? yes. Its been great. Its about 10 and i walk into her place.

I: hey Max

M: hey soooo um whats today's equation

I: well um actually today we'll be learning something a lil different 

                   I sit on the sofa and look at her confused.

I: i couldnt help but notice you still very much like Sam

M: u-um well y-yeah

I: lets face it Max your never gonna have a chance with her if you dont make a move

M: ughhh Iris we've been over this i dont have moves shes not interested in me

I: well you dont know that. She's just like that cus of what you've said yourself. your a "babe magnet" you dont have to work for shit. If she was to be interested in you she probably want you to work for it

H: s-so what do you do there?
