On the way to Stewart's family house, Valerie fell asleep. She wasn't exactly one to fall asleep so easily but she was a bit exhausted from all that was going on and because the person next to her was Max, she had a dream about him.
More like a dream from their high school days. The time she took his hand for the first time.

After that encounter on the rooftop, Valerie started avoiding Maximus. She felt uncomfortable because there were feelings she didn't understand swelling up in her heart.
She didn't understand them and could never bring herself to ask anyone about it, not even Frankie who was just in the next class.
Though they were going to the same school together, they never interacted since Valerie asked that she be given her space. And if people knew they were connected, they would definitely disturb Frankie about her.
It was a hassle.
Yet another bigger hassle had presented itself.
