Max's POV
School went by In a blur. I kept replaying this Morning over and over again. Each time, if smile and 'accidentally' doodled Tyler's name on my notes.
So thank gosh all my classes for the day is over and jules is taking me home. Well, out to eat, then home. "So have you two hooked up yet?" She asks. I spun my head towards her and my face goes red. "No." I said. She smirked. "Don't lie to mama now."
"I'm not lying." I said. She shook her head and turned back towards the road. "Okay max. You could at least try to have a little fun with the guy. He likes you, you do know that right?"
"Does making out with him count?" I mumbled under my breath. She slammed on the break and pulled over on the side of the road. "What did you just say?!" she screeched, smiling. I smiled and rolled my eyes. "I said we made out. you happy now?"
"You two made out!?" I smiled bright and bit my lip, blushing hard. "Maybe....."
"You did!" she smiled, "When?!"
"This morning." She smiled and jumped a little in her seat. She almost looked happier than me. "How?" She asked, a little calmer than she first sounded. "I don't know........ It just kinda..... happened. I wasn't expecting it to happen honestly." she hook her head. "But why did you make out with him? I thought you didn't like him."
I blushed more. "I guess i didn't realise it until he kissed me." I admitted. She chuckled and turned back in her seat, buckling her seatbelt and starting to drive again. "Well your stupid, so that explains everything." My mouth dropped open and I punched her shoulder. "I'm not stupid."

"Yes you are. He has liked you since the day he saw you and your just now kissing him." She says. I shake my head. "I'm not a slut like SOME people." She looks over at me and smiles. "Oh honey, I'm not a slut. I'm currently fixed on one guy right now. And hopefully a while."
"Wait...... does that mean your dating Carter?" Her smile drops. And I suddenly feel horrible for asking. "No....... we had an agreement that we wouldn't sleep with anyone else. And of course, he broke that. So I got him back and did the same. So I'm dating someone else now."
"Who is it?" I asked. She sighed and raked and hand through her hair. "This guy, David."
"Oh...... Are you guys serious?" She shakes her head. "He wants to be. But the only reason I'm even dating the damn guy is because I'm getting back at Carter. I just wish he would get over whatever other slut he's sleeping with."
Man, I've never seen jules THIS upset about ANYBODY before. She usually just likes the guys for her own pleasure. Carter must really be something to her if she's willing to do this. But I'm already going through stuff right now, and it's none of my business, so I'm just going to not worry about it.
"I'm sorry, jules."
"Don't be."

Dinner was nice. Junior called me nonstop though. and texted me, but I ignored every single one of them. After what Tyler told me about him, I don't even want to see him ever again.
Jules brought me home. On the way, I got a text from Tom saying he's coming sometime tomorrow morning an taking me to his house for the weekend. I smiled and got really happy. Jules starting blaring basket case by green day and we screamed along to the lyrics.

We soon got to my apartment and I got out. "Thanks for dinner, jules." She smiled and ward her hand. "No problem. No go have fun." she wiggles her eyebrows at me. I roll
My eyes and walk towards the front door. I open it and jules spins away.
As I'm closing the door, Tyler is running down the hall towards me, shirtless. Right as the door clicks shut, I'm being lifted int he air by Tyler's strong arms. I giggle mighty as he spins me around. "Colton, what the hell are you doing?!" He laughed and jumped on the couch. Still holding me. He landed on his backs me pushed me farther in the air by placing his feet on my stomach and gripping my hands. intertwining our fingers.
"It's movie night!" Tyler yelled. I laughed and kept a hold of his hands so I didn't fall. "And you have me in the air, ready to fall why, exactly?" I question. He lays me down easily and wraps his arms and legs around me, trapping me from even moving. I was laying on his bare chest, with my own. "So you can fall right Into my arms." He whispered in my ear. I smiled and leaned up just enough to see his face. He smiled back.
"What movie?" I asked. He shook his head. "Any movie you want, princess." I smiled and tried to pull away from him. Didn't work. "Not just yet." He said. He didn't give me any time to say anything before kissing me. It was quick, but still jut as sweet as any other kiss he had given me.
I smiled and pulled away. He let me go and still smiled. I got up and went to the DVD player. "Which one you want to watch? Annabelle, or the ring?" I asked. "Hmmmm........ Annabelle." He answered. I Smiled and put it in. I went back over to the couch and sat down right beside him. He did the stupidest thing and yawned, stretching and putting his arm over my shoulder.
I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Really?" I asked. he smiled and nodded. "Really. Now Shh, the movies starting."
I rolled my eyes and watched the screen, moving in closer to Tyler. And I'm not sure when, but sometime during the movie, I fell asleep.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
