After breakfast. Max called Sarah.
"Max, you finally remembered that I exist." Sarah joked.
"You're unforgettable, what do you mean 'finally'?" Max rebutted.
"Yes, yes, I'm going to pretend to believe you." Sarah laughed and said, "I'm leaving now, where can we meet, by the way, will you take the car with me?"
"Yes, I'm going with my other girlfriend," Max said.
"Another girlfriend?" Sarah raised her voice.
"Yeah, you'll see her when we meet," Max said.
"... Okay." Sarah paused and nodded.
"Meet in front of the BMW store?" Max asked.
"Yes may be." Her voice was no longer as animated as before.
Max sighed and said, "Don't think too much, you'll like her."
"Well... I'll know when I see her," Sarah said and hung up.
After leaving the apartment, Max held Isabella's hand as they walked.
"Mm?"
"What is it, Max?" Isabella asked.
"Captain, I see through the binoculars." He made a cone with his left hand: "The approach of a troop."
Isabella was amused and said: "Are they, friends or enemies?"
Max replied, "Must be friends, Captain. Since they all come together."
"fool." She hit him.
"Domestic assault?" Max asked.
Isabella snorted but didn't respond.
"Max, you're not running away this time!"
"Look if it's not the chicken that got its nose broken by me and was crying on the floor as it screamed: Mommy, Mommy..." Max said with amusement.
"Do not lie! This did not happen!" Tarcisio turned red pepper.
"Didn't I break your nose?" Max asked.
"It broke, but..."
"Look at this. And still says it's a lie. Tsk, tsk, these kids these days, they can't tell the truth." Max shook his head in disappointment.
Isabella couldn't take it anymore and cracked up laughing.
Even the other four boys who were together with Tarcisio were laughing out loud.
"Sigh, have you come to take a beating it again?" Max asked now seriously.
"Can't you see that I'm with my friends now? It won't be the same as last time." Tarcisio was already boiling with anger, he just didn't take the first step, because he was still scared, he doesn't even remember how he was punched, when he saw it, he was already lying on the icy floor of the parking lot with a nose and teeth broken with blood running down.
"You still haven't learned from what your father's story happened to your brother, by the way, your father is dead, yes?" Max said as he shook his head.
"Oh? What are you talking about? And yes, he is." Tarcisio took the bait.
Max smiled inwardly, not expecting his father to actually die.
"That you must not know... A few years ago, a baby was born and he began to say: "I'm going to die in four days. My mother will die in six days. And my father, in 30 days. Said and done: Four days later, the baby died. Six days later, it was her mother's turn. The father, desperate, sold everything he had and liked all the money as quickly as he could. However, 30 days later, it was the neighbor who died. That is, your father. The moral of it all: Never make hasty decisions!"
"Then that's it. That's why my father died…" Tears streamed from Tarcisio's eyes: "Thank you, I can now feel more relieved, my father's death has always been a mystery to me."
"Oh?" Max was completely confused.
'Is this serious? Does the story I made up match what happened to his father? Besides, even the neighbors?' Max was amazed.
Even Isabella was completely disbelieving.
"Tarcisio, you idiot! Your neighbors are living well and healthy, by the way, I'm your neighbor!" A big boy, almost 200 cm tall, slapped Tarcisio on the head.
"You tricked me! You'll see, I'll break your face!" Tarcisio was enraged.
"Isa, at my signal, lightens," Max whispered.
"Okay." She nodded.
"Now!" Max said.
" Ahhhh, my eyes!"
Max didn't need to see, his intelligence was high enough to count every step and know every position they were in like a chessboard. In his hands, the lightning flashed, he attacked each one of them as fast as he could move, be it stomach, face, even the golden balls.
"Isa, stop," Max warned.
When the light faded.
It was only possible to see five boys lying on the ground rolling and moaning in pain.
"Better learn from this lesson, don't show up in front of me again, or else…" Max gave a menacing look as he rolled up his sleeves.
They shudder. Their hair was standing on end as they literally got a shock.
As they pull away, Isabella says excitedly, "Max, I didn't know you could control the lightning."
"You never asked," Max replied with a sincere smile which made Isabella feel like punching him... Oops, she punched him.

When they arrived in front of the BMW, Sarah was waiting for them.
"Max." Sarah was happy to see him but made a strange expression when she saw Isabella.
"Isabella, this is Sarah, Sarah, this is Isabella. Okay, now that the introductions have been made, let's go into the store." Max starts walking, but the two girls hold him by the collar.
"Max, do you think it's that easy?" Isabella asked with a dangerous look.
"Okay, okay, I'm not running away. Come on, hit me at will, but don't hurt my face." Max said dramatically.
"Fool, I won't hit you, but I want an explanation." Sarah sighed.
"Yes, 'fool', we are not going to hit you." Isabella emphasized while saying 'fool'.
"Damn, I'm not a fool!" Max said resignedly.
Isabella finally looked up and down at Sarah and sighed, "You're beautiful."
"Hehe. The younger sister is also very beautiful." Sarah said sincerely.
"You know... We have to control this boy here, if we let him run free, when we see, we already have 10 other sisters." Isabella let out another sigh.
"I see. Well, let's get the first car and we can talk on the way, you still have to go to school, yes?" Sarah said with a gentle smile.
"Yea." Isabella agreed.
Max was completely excluded from the conversation and had no voice in their conversation.
It didn't take Sarah long to get the car, everything was ready, and she just needed to get the car license plate, but she didn't need to be in a hurry, because she had 15 days until the deadline.
Unfortunately, Max didn't sit at the front, but Isabella did. The two spent the entire way to school talking, leaving Max out.
Well, not that Max minded, he took a book out of his backpack and started reading.
What he didn't know was that his serious profile reading was very attractive, making Sarah and Isabella stop talking and look at him sometimes. Isabella was more brazen as she wasn't driving, but Sarah had to pay attention to the road and didn't want to scratch the new car.
As there were still 15 minutes before school was ready to enter, Sarah was walking around and talking to Sarah and sometimes looking at Max.
"Max, what do you think?"
"Oh?" Max, who wasn't paying attention, was confused when he heard Sarah call out to him.
"About going to an amusement park at three this Sunday," Sarah asked.
"I don't know if it'll work, I'm going to Hawaii," Max said.
"Oh yes, there is." Now that Isabella remembered that and was excited that Max still remembers the promise he made.
"Forgot?" Max looked at her.
"Errr..." Isabella panicked.
"Haha, no need to be nervous, I'm not mad." Max laughed.
"Are we still going?" Isabella asked.
"Yes, don't you want?" Max replied and asked.
"I do, of course, I do!" Isabella said loudly.
"Well." Max smiled.
"Hello, I'm still here," Sarah said pouting.
"Well, Sarah, that's it, we've been committed before, but how about Monday?" Isabella asked.
"Why not tomorrow?" Sarah arched her brow.
"Tomorrow we have to wait for the delivery we buy," Isabella said.
"Err... And today?" Sarah didn't give up.
"Today is good, let's go today." Max nodded.
"Okay, it's scheduled." Sarah finally smiled.
Max got out of the car and went to the driver's seat, Sarah rolled down the window and they kissed.
"I wish you a nice day." Max smiled.
"For you too, I'll miss you~" Sarah said flirtatiously.
"Come on Max." Before Max could speak, he was already dragged away by Isabella.
Students who saw this scene could not fail to comment.
"Who was that beautiful woman, another girlfriend of Max?"
"Oh God, why do you have to be so unfair?"
"He already got the flower from school, now he's also dating an older woman? Ahhhh that's so unfair!"
If they're already like that when they see Max kiss Sarah, what would their reaction be if they found out about Professor Lisana?
It's a shame it can't go public...
In fact, because Max read 15 minutes, he ended up reading 30,000 words and earned 600 dollars.

In the classroom, the chemistry teacher looked in Max's direction and said, "Student Max, close the window, it's cold outside."
Max stopped reading the book and replied seriously, "But Professor, it'll still be cold outside even if I close the window."
"Pfff hahahahaha!"
The entire class starts laughing.
The teacher also felt like laughing and not taking it seriously, but he still kept an indifferent expression and said: "Yes, yes, but close it so that the cold from the street doesn't enter the room."
"Is that so?" Max closed the window.
Later came the drama class.
"Teacher." Max held up a hand.
"I'm out of a book, can I borrow it?" Max asked.
"Is it for Romeo and Juliet?" the teacher asked.
"No, it's for me. As I said, I forgot mine." He spoke so seriously, it confused the teacher.
Scratching his head the teacher said, "You misunderstood me, what I want to know is from the play Romeo and Juliet."
"Yes, that one. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I was asking if it was for Romeo and Juliet, by the way, is there anyone with those names in our room?" Max asked.
"Juliet yes, Romeo no." The teacher replied.
Meanwhile, the students were trying not to laugh.
