Early morning Max woke up before everyone else and went for his routine exercise. He knew from today his training would be drastically reduced, because of school. That's the only reason he trained till night in the woods everyday in the holidays was because of this. He knew he had to do something about it, so he made a plan, that is to join the lacrosse team and use it as an excuse for himself to workout.
He made his way home earlier than his usual routine and planned to get ready only to notice that he was late. As he entered his home he saw Allison eating breakfast telling at him, "We're gonna be late in our first day Max. Get yourself ready. Quickly!"
He went upstairs and took a shower and got ready in 10 minutes. He heard this mother yelling, "Shower five minutes and getting ready five minutes. You are your father's son, Max."
Chris hearing this held his head up high believing it to be a sign of glory. Max scratched his head and smiled watching this.
His mom got in the car ready to drive off. He took the sandwich from the table to his mouth and ran towards the car.
Inside the car Allison was sitting quietly. As soon as he entered, she said, "Took you long enough."
Max only replied with a smile, "I got lost in the woods while running."
Victoria only said, "When will you learn to use some better excuses."
Max only smiled, while Allison giggled. Allison knew her brother was a bit shameless when lying. So she decided to switch the topic. She said, "You planning to do anything interesting this year."
Max nodded and said, "I'm planning to join the lacrosse team this year. I need to stretch out a bit in highschool. I have a reputation to keep up you know."
Allison laughed at him, "Haha, you and reputation? I heard from Dad that they call you the Handsome Loner in school."
Max said to his dad in his heart, (traitor) and said, "Hey, hey, don't believe in hearsay. You just wait and watch. I'll show you."
Allison only said, "Yeah yeah, Mr. Popular. We're already late. Let's go we're here."
As they both got out of car, Allison was looking all over her bag trying to find a pen. Watching this Max mocked hey, "Well there Ms. We're Getting Late, what are you looking for?"
Allison ignored his mocking and said, "Hey, I can't find my pen. Do you have a spare?"
Without even looking at her he threw a pen saying, "Catch. You owe me one."
Allison stared at him, "What do you mean? It's only a pen, Max. No wonder you're a loner, if you're this stingy how would you ever find a girlfriend."
Max just keep moving forward saying, "Yeah yeah yeah, you just let me worry about that. You better make sure that you're not late, Ally."
Allison then realized that she was behind him and she'd be even more late compared to him. She shouted at him, "Wait you idiot!"
They soon made it to the Principal's office and submitted her paperwork. After checking everything, the principal took them towards the class.

Few minutes earlier in the classroom, Scott was listening to the sibling's conversation an was kept in looking at girl till she disappeared from his view.
As he was thinking about her, the principal made it to their class and was saying, "This year we'll be having a new student with us. Her name is Allison, Allison Argent. Yeah you heard me, she's Mr. Max Argent's twin sister. Get along well."
And he turned to the professor in class and said, "Max was delayed due to bringing his sister in, so I hope you'll excuse him."
The professor only said, "No problem"
The principal nodded to the professor and Max and went out.
The professor looking at both of the siblings once and said, "Take your seats."
Allison was about to go too seat behind Scott to sit, but was a step slow because Max sat on it before she could reach there. She didn't mind anything and went to sit in front of Lydia. While Allison was sitting she saw Lydia smiling at her so she just said, "Hi" and sat in the seat.
Max who was sitting behind Scott wasn't watching Lydia or Allison. He was watching Scott as he was staring at Allison from the moment they entered the class. He taped on Scott's shoulder and said, "What are you looking at, McCall?"
Only now did Scott realize that Allison's brother was sitting behind him. He turned his head and said, "Oh, nothing man. She's new here, I don't think I have seen her in Beacon Hills."
Max knew that he was lying. He only squeezed Scott's shoulder and said, "Don't get any ideas, McCall. Watch it."
Scott just ignored him and continued to stare at the board. But Scott knew that he couldn't get a chance to talk to her with him around. So he planned to talk to her when Max was not around.
As the classes continued on, Max ignored it as he was able to remember everything because of his enhanced mind from receiving memories. So he didn't worry.

Later that day, it was time for the lacrosse selection. Everyone made their way towards the field. Max was standing next to coach. Coach knew that this year Max was planning to join the team. So he said, "So, Argent, finally decided to put that body to good use, huh? If you had joined last year, you could've made Captain this year. Ah, well, it's better late than never. Get in line. Let's see what you got."
Then he turned to Scott and said, "McCall! To the goal. Now!"
Scott instantly replied, "Yes, coach."
Max made it to the end of the line waiting for his turn. Meanwhile Lydia and Allison were watching the team selection. Lydia suddenly said, "You think your brother is gonna make team this year?"
Allison was also curious as she replied, "I don't know. He told me in the morning that he was gonna join the team. But I also don't know how good he is. Let's wait and watch."
Seeing that Allison also didn't know, Lydia said with pride, "Well, you see him, the guy who's about to shoot. That's my boyfriend, Jackson. He made Captain last year."
Allison was watching it interestingly an suddenly said, "You said that the shooter was your boyfriend, the captain?"
Lydia absentmindedly replied, "Yeah. What about it?"
Allison asked curiously, "If he's the captain, isn't he suppose to be good?"
Lydia said why applying her make-up watching the mirror, "Yeah."
Allison asked again, "Then why is he not able to score a single shot?"
Lydia suddenly turned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Allison only pointed towards the field, she turned towards the field to see what's happening. Only to see Scott catching each and every ball thrown my Jackson and others.
Max was also watching this spectacle and smiled, (Such a cheat.) He stared at Scott for minutes and waited his turn.
When his turn finally came Coach shouted from the side, "You get a goal here, Argent and you're in the team!"
And turned to Scott an shouted, "McCall, you stop every goal today and shoot well, I'm gonna make you Captain."
As soon as Scott heard this, his eyes were blazing with fire. His wolf instincts went to a extreme high. Scott was already pissed at Max because of Allison's matter in the morning. So now he was just waiting to humiliate him and said, "Come on, Max!"
Max only said, "You asked for it, McCall!" and threw the ball at high speed, but Scott watched the angle he was throwing the ball, an before the ball could reach him, he already turned the pole to his right waiting for the ball to arrive. As a fixed magnet the ball easy landed in the Pole's mitt.
Coach from the side said, "Argent, I didn't think this would be it. Come on, two more tries. I'm sure you can do better."
Scott also mocked this time, "Is that all you got, Max?" Even though he said this, in his heart he knew that Max's shot was the fastest he has seen this entire day. But he trusted his instincts could keep up with the speed.
"Well, always best out of three." Max knew that if he threw any faster than this, it would arise suspicion. So he decided to use a different tactic. He took the ball in the mitt and started to spin the pole faster and faster.
Everyone watching this scene thought that this would be interesting. Meanwhile Scott was trying to predict which angle the ball will in this confusing spinning of pole.
But suddenly Max held the pole stopping the spinning only to see the ball inside the mitt rotating as faster and faster. He decided that it's the perfect time and threw the ball to Scott's left, only this ball was making a pitch two steps before the goal.
Scott watching this though that it was way easier than before so he moved the pole to the left to catch the ball, only to see that the ball bounced off from his left side and moved to his right at a faster pace. Even before he could react the ball was in the goal.
Everyone gasped at this scene..
