"Umm.. Thanks," I mumble, kicking dust with my shoes.
"What?" Max asks me.
"I said, thank you," I say more clearly.
"Still can't hear you... Could you repeat that?" he asks politely.
"I said thank you!" I shout. "You pig," I add lowly.
"Still nada. Trolley could you enunciate properly? I must've been showering the wrong way," Max says concerned for himself. "Water's gone into my ears," he says pinching his earlobe.
Despite everything, I laugh loudly, "Max, you fucking weasel!" He fondly grins down at me.
"Go," he encourages me. "All the best Trols," he smothers a giant hand, over my head.
"See, you're not completely horrible," I say warmly. "We can be friends, right?"
"Sure.... We can be friends." His face twists in distaste, like a minuscule, useless, human like me isn't worth being friends with.

Read the snarky, snappy love story of two stubborn individuals.
"What's your name?" He tries again.
Should I tell him so he can shut up? Or will he just keep talking.
"Fine. Don't tell me. But personally I think we are going to be great friends. Maybe I should tell you a bit about myself so you can trust me. Stranger danger and all that. That's why you're not talking to me right?"
I don't respond.
"So here it goes. My name is Alexander Daniel Woods. I have amazing black hair and piercing green eyes as told to me by various ladies. My major is in marketing. My blood type is O positive, my social security number is 45-"
"Oh my god, do you ever shut up?" I finally break.
