In Love with The Theatre Kid

(Note: This'll have quite a few headcanons, which I'll explain right now. Max has two siblings, an older brother, Mark, and a twin sister, Maria. Max secretly has a bit of musical talent, however, unlike Preston, is not in any way related to theatre. Max also has stage fright, despite him being completely calm in Love Resurrected. He also has temporary insomnia, but only for a week, maybe less, give or take. Now for Preston's headcanon (I only have one as of now, but I'll let you know when I come up with more!). Preston, just like Max, has a twin sister named Patricia. Also, this is gonna be when they're older and everyone is in their first year of high school. And, I'm going to be adding in Dadvid to this as well, so yeah. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story!)

Max thought he wouldn't be able to see his friends anymore after camp.

He stood corrected

After David adopted Max due to his old parents getting too out of hand, he surprised Max by getting a job, outside of being a camp counselor, as a teacher at Max's school. However, what surprised Max even more was, on the first day of his freshman year, not only did he realize that David was one of the teachers he got, but he got to see everyone else from camp.

Max didn't like the fact that David wanted Max to audition for the school's musical that they always put on at the start of the school year, despite the fact that Max has stage fright, and David would normally support Max about it.

Max was never into theatre. It was always like that for him. Actual music, however, he was fine with that. The play would also mean that he'd have to not only audition in the school's auditorium after school, but he also would have to join the drama club.

And Preston Goodplay runs it.

Nikki and Neil try to boost his confidence up by doing little scenarios, as Nikki called them, with characters from their favorite fandoms. Max tells them that it won't work with someone like him.

However.. Could he be wrong?
