" What do you want, why did you bring me here," I exclaimed in confusion.
"I was thinking about your one"sided love with my brother," Max replied.
" You have to keep it a secret," I tell her worriedly.
"There's no reason for me to keep your pretty secret, that will only depend on your actions. "Max says with a mischievous smile.
How bold, now he's blackmailing me.
I feel like hitting him again, but he took a deep breath and calmed me down.
" What's wrong, fatty, you're getting mad at me," Max says, provoking me.
"But what are you saying, I usually talk like that," I replied in a friendly tone.
" Liar, you want to hit me, I can see you clench your fist," Max says with a laugh.
Good thing you know then why are you provoking me cretin, I don't know why out of all the people I know I had to end up venting and screaming my feelings in front of this clown.
" So what do you want for keeping the secret," I say annoyed.
"The truth is that all I want you to do is work on my sketches," says Max.
"He rolled his eyes at me again.
"You can't refuse if you do, I think I'll have a very honest conversation with my brother," Max replies, crossing his arms.
" All right," I say defeated.
"There is another condition, you have to join me for dinner tomorrow at my house," Max says as he puts his arm around my shoulder.
" Why do I have to go, it looks like a private dinner with your family," she reproached annoyed.
"Then I'll have dinner with my brother and have that kind of conversation where we tell each other our secrets. "Max says with his hand on his cheek with a smirk.
"Where is it that you said the dinner was," I answer quickly.
This is a nightmare now what am I going to do to get him off my back.
"At my house at 7:00 pm you can't be absent," Max warns me.
We return to where Noah is, making snacks.
"You want some, Melek," says Noah.
"Thank you Noah, I can call you that, can't I?
"Of course, no problem," says Noah.
They call Noah and he leaves, because of problems with the music, as a promoter he has to be aware of the party.
"Be very careful when eating, you can choke on so many lies," Max says, laughing and patting me on the back.
" You think I don't know what you're doing, that's enough," I tell him as I look at him as if I want to kill him.
"But what am I doing to you," says Max, raising his shoulders.
"You know what I'm talking about," I tell him with a frown.
" Don't worry, lying is an art, with practice you will get better," says Max.
Noah comes back and I have to dissemble again.
" I'm glad you two are getting along, Max is a good guy," says Noah, encouraging our relationship.
"I don't think I've ever seen that quality in him," I replied with a fake smile.
Max looks at me annoyed by my comment
Noah your brother is the devil himself.
Caroline and Izy come up to me, sweaty from dancing.
" Not that they were not friends ." says Izy.
"We are not!" I reply irritated.
" Then why such a sudden change," says Izy, staring at me.
" He's right, maybe you have feelings for him," says Caroline.
" Of course not, you're crazy," I said offended.
" She likes the librarian," says Izy.
" Really, I never imagined it, but he's not a little old for you," says Caroline.
" I still want to try, I will go as far as I can for him, I will try everything to win his heart," I answer with a trembling and heavy voice.
" Love should only come naturally," says Caroline.
Girls discourage me with those words, but I just can't help not being attracted to him, he's perfect.
I don't know what's wrong with me but my body feels kind of heavy and my head feels heavy and the ground is kind of moving away from my feet, I feel kind of dizzy.
POV MAX
I'm at the party, it's boring, nothing interesting for my taste, the fat lady said she would come and she hasn't shown up, she probably took it back.
I'm having a bottled soda sitting in the kitchen, Noah is also here being the party planner it's a hassle to keep an eye on the food than the drinks the music etc..
When suddenly I see the fat girl approaching, I recognized her from afar but she is wearing her grandmother's dress.
What's wrong with her why is she dressed like that, she should have at least put on nice clothes for my brother to notice her, what a silly way to ruin it.
I snap my fingers and she comes out of her trance, I don't know, but this girl is funny.
I don't understand how she ends up catching my eye, looking at her up close she's not that ugly, it's the clothes she wears that make her worse.
She has nice hair and her eyes are green although with those magnifying glasses they make her look funny.
I already figured out what to do with her secret, I'll use it to my advantage so we went out to the yard to talk about it, a little emotional blackmail to motivate doesn't hurt anyone.
I see that she continues to drink punch as if it were a soft drink, does she not know that it has alcohol in it, at this rate she will end up drunk.
We go back to the party and her friends are here too, she starts talking to them in the dining room.
Suddenly after a few minutes she gets up and goes to the dance floor, but what has happened she has become someone else she raises her arms, and moves her hips from side to side sensually, she is alone on the dance floor and we all see her, but she looks like a damn professional dancer, the music is moving, I see her raise her dress up to her thighs and starts bouncing her buttocks to the music she has everyone hypnotized with her hip movement including me, they even scream and cheer her on it's crazy.
Now she knows twerking, this girl is a McDonald's happy box that is full of surprises, in the end she overcame everything and did a perfect ballet split, she is great.
I go to her, when some random guy is shaking her hand to help her up.
Now I get the attention of the cool kids, I'm sure they all thought the same thing I did, that if he does, how he moves when he dances he's a diamond in the rough waiting to be polished.
He starts throwing up all over the poor guy's shirt, God I'm glad I didn't go there to help, I would have ended up all puked up.
Her friends take her to the bedroom, so that she can rest better, she can't tolerate alcohol, but she was still drinking.
Chubby you are so funny, tonight wasn't so bad I was quite entertained.
I can't believe Noah is so clueless and doesn't notice the chubby girl's beady eyes.
Two fools, they deserve it.
Back in my room, I fall asleep tired.
*************
It's a new day, I open my eyes I'm with a stabbing pain in my head that is killing me, I get up I'm still wearing yesterday's dress, as I came to the room just at that moment I get the memories of yesterday I made a big fuss at the party now I will be remembered as the vomit girl, what a shame.
Why I got drunk, it was the punch.
Izy I'm going to kill you, thank god I don't have morning classes, I get out of bed and take a shower, my face looks terrible I apply a moisturizing mask for about 10 minutes, while I get dressed.
I put on a blue t"shirt and black denim shorts with white tennis shoes and a black cap with the Boston logo, I take off the mask I look better now I make up very natural and finish with a perfume with the scent of jasmine.
I leave the room, I need some fresh air and head out of the faculty, there are trees, benches and a small fountain.
It's eight in the morning and I haven't even had breakfast, I'm sitting on one of the benches near the fountain, I lean back relaxed and raise my head with my eyes to the sky, I close my eyes and feel the breezes of fresh air, I relax a little.
When I feel the cap being snatched from my head, I open my eyes quickly.
It's that jerk Max, why do I have to keep running into him.
" Give me back my cap ." she exclaimed in annoyance.
" Why are you talking to me in that tone, so early in the morning," says Max.
I'm still hung over and his irritating voice is annoying plus he doesn't plan to go on his way and leave me alone.
I see it and simply ignore it.
" Are you from Boston Chubby? asks Max.
" You don't care," I say annoyed as I take the cap out of her hands.
I sit up again with difficulty, I let out a sigh I can't stand the hangover anymore, I take off my glasses and rub my eyes, max keeps talking and talking it's so annoying, I'm going to explode.
" Shut your stupid mouth," she shouted angrily.
Max watches me, examining what is happening to me.
" You look like you have a hangover," says Max.
He pulls a bottle of water out of his pouch and hands me some aspirin.
