Max's P.O.V

"Here are your grades for your assignments." said Miss Treadwell.

My Science teacher handed me my assignment and I rolled my eyes. Jeez, an F. Give me a break!

"Maxine, this is appalling! Your mother will be informed of your poor grade." She said.

"Yeah whatever Alice." I said.

Only I had the nerve to call the teachers by their first names. I'm known as the school rebel. Going out on Saturday nights and not getting home until 4am, getting drunk at wild parties, getting 2 hour detentions after school at least three times a week. I never turn up to them though. I don't give a shit.

The bell rang and I packed up my shit and left. I spotted my best friends Monique and Iggy. Running over to them, we headed off to the canteen.

"I got an F in science. Miss Treadwell is calling home. As if my mom gives a shit. She's just out getting pissed all the time." I told them

"Haha. Hey have you heard that there's a new guy here? Apparently he's like really cute and can sing really well and is really smart and did I mention really cute? His name is Nick I think." Said Monique.

"Oh My Gosh, really? Let's go check him out!" Said Iggy in a girl's voice, whilst rolling his eyes. I laughed and we strolled into the canteen. It was crowded as usual but we found seats and grabbed them before they were taken.

Five minutes later, a boy I had never seen before walked into the hall. Girls started calling his name, asking him to go and sit with them. So this was Nick. The poor guy.

Angel, the slag of all slags ran up him and started dragging him to her table. I saw him try to pull back and I felt a tiny pang of sympathy inside.

They reached the 'popular' table and he was surrounded by jocks and cheerleaders. He looked extremely uncomfortable so I decided to go help him. No one should have to endure that kind of torture.

"Hey guys I'll be right back." I told Monique and Iggy.

"Oh no what's she doing now?" I heard Iggy mutter.

I strolled up to Angel's table and addressed Nick.

"Hey Nick. Miss Treadwell said she wants to see you. She said it's urgent and to go straight away. I'll take you to her." I said.

He relaxed and nodded his head.

"Okay." He replied.

Angel looked furious. I couldn't help but giggle.

"I'll take him to Miss Treadwell." She said through gritted teeth.

"I think I'm capable of escorting a new student to a teacher thank you very much."

Nick got up and we started to walk out of the canteen. I turned around and gave Angel a smile. Then I stuck my finger up at her and left.

Angel scowled and sunk back down into her seat. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Monique and Iggy sniggering. Monique looked at me and winked. Rolling my eyes, I walked out of the room into one of the corridors.

"Miss Treadwell doesn't really want to see me does she?" asked Nick.

"Nah. I saw you looked uncomfortable with Angel so I decided to help you out." 5 replied smiling at him.

"Thanks. What's your name?" said Nick.

"Max. And no problem." I said.

Just then, the head teacher came strolling around the corner.

"Quick! Hide!" I hissed at Nick. I pulled him into a supply closet praying that Mr Johnston hadn't seen us.

"Why are we standing in a supply closet?" asked Nick suspiciously.

"Well, let's just say I'm not the most popular student with the teachers. I give them a bit of a hard time." I said.

He grinned and the room seemed to light up. Then, I noticed that Nick actually was kinda cute.

Then, a bucket fell down from a high shelf and almost hit me on the head. Then a big pile of mops and brooms started falling. I screamed and dodged out of the way and right into Nick.

I looked up into Nicks face and grinned.

"Well that's gonna get me another detention." I said.

He smiled back and then the door burst open.

"Maxine Ride. I should have known it would be you. But look here, we have Nicholas. Next time, you should have chosen a better place to suck each others lips off instead of a supply cupboard. Come with me you two." Mr Johnston snarled.

"Oh boy." I said under my breath.

An hour later.

"Nick I'm sorry about that. You got into trouble and it was my fault." I said.

We had just had an extremely long pep talk from Johnston. Turns out we had broken a bucket, two brooms, a vacuum and a mop, now we both had detention and our parents were being informed.

"Don't worry Max. We didn't even do anything wrong anyway so I'm not really that bothered." Nick replied.

I smiled at him and then the bell went to signal the end of the day.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. Cya." I said to him waving good-bye.

"Bye Max. See you tomorrow." He said and grinned.

Well he's nice. Maybe I should ask him to come to Saturday's party…
