I Don't Do Birthdays

Madison 'Max' Miller.
Music obsessed, alt girl, standing on the periphery of high school.
Not Cheerleader material. Definitely not Prom Queen material. She doesn't give a flying feck, really.
It doesn't matter. She's got her music and her best friends

One of which is Jamie Harrison.
All star athlete, grade A student, future Prom King with the pre-requisite blonde cheerleader girlfriend
The direct opposite of Max.

They were friends. They were best friends.
Really, they were just the best of friends.

Those strange feelings they get when they looked at each other, or that funny heat in their bellies when they touch each other were nothing, surely? I mean, it's probably something innocuous like dysentery.
Or some strange disease like the Black Plague right?

They couldn't be in love and lust with each other, right?
Right???
