"I told you I was sorry Skylar, but it wasn't even my fault in the first place," he says angry, by the end of it. "No one can make choices for you Max! I am not dumb!" I say almost amazed that he would even think that I would accept that. "You'd be surprised Skylar. The world isn't as innocent as you think," he takes a deep breath as he focuses back on the road. "Max! I am in high school! I am not sheltered at all by anyone! You of all people should know that I know how cruel the world is!"
