"Hey, wait! I haven't done yet!" Max yelled after her, running after her."It's fine, I got it." Sophie called back. "You can do it later." She added before turning a corner and disappearing from sight."Where did she go?" He asked, noticing that Sophie had left."There's a game booth over there. Probably bought some stuff for it." Max responded. "Let's go get some food or something." He suggested.A few hours later, Max and the others were sitting outside waiting for Sophie to come back. They were all enjoying themselves, except for Sophie who wasn't quite comfortable with being outside alone. It hadn't been long since she ran away to go get the prize basket. Max was starting to worry about her. When she ran out to go grab the prize basket, he knew that something must've happened. He felt horrible, but he didn't want to force her into telling him what was wrong.He kept his eyes fixed on the building entrance for the past 15 minutes, hoping to see her appear at any moment. Finally

After a few moments of searching, she finally found Max asleep beside her. She smiled contently to herself. She watched him sleep for a few minutes longer, admiring the beautiful features of his face. His skin was so smooth. It had only taken her months to get used to his roughness but everything was different now. There was something almost innocent about him. He looked like a complete baby who hadn't seen a woman in years.When he slept so peacefully, there was never any chance that he would ever wake up. He looked peaceful. Sophie decided to take advantage of that and lean in closer to him. Slowly she inched herself closer to him, making sure that he wouldn't wake up. As she neared him, she realized that she wasn't breathing. For a split second she panicked and tried to force herself to breathe normally. She failed miserably. Max shifted slightly and tightened his grip around her waist, causing her to stop breathing completely. Then without warning, she felt his lips press aga

"That's not very nice!" Sophie gasped playfully."Whatever." Max repeated, rolling his eyes once more.She pouted up at him and shook her head mockingly. "Oh, don't give me that look. Don't pretend that you weren't excited about it just seconds ago." She argued.Max raised an eyebrow challengingly. "I am excited. Very excited. I just didn't want to ruin the mood." He claimed, trying to sound serious.Sophie giggled loudly and rolled her eyes at him. "You're so cute. I can't believe I've fallen for you already." She said fondly.Max smirked smugly and ran a hand through her hair. "Well, if I may say so myself I'm definitely your favorite person." He responded playfully.Sophie chuckled and pulled herself up on top of him, straddling him. "If I may say so myself, you're mine." She responded seriously, leaning down and connecting their lips together.Max wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, deepening the kiss. Their tongues danced together, exploring each other's mou

"Anyway... What was I telling you?" Max interrupted her thoughts."Oh right! Sorry." Sophie apologized sheepishly."So how was your first day of work?" Max questioned curiously.Sophie shrugged nonchalantly. "Pretty normal. School is boring sometimes, though." She admitted."Yeah, but we don't need to worry about that anymore, right?" Max questioned happily."Right." Sophie agreed."Are you gonna give me a tour of the school tomorrow before you leave? I'm sure everyone would like to thank their favorite person in the whole universe." Max teased."Of course. But remember what I told you. We'll stay out of people's way during lunch and after school, okay? And I'm sorry if anyone seems to be giving you shit." Sophie apologised."It's alright, Soph. Nobody deserves your wrath, trust me. I'm used to people staring at me and whispering behind my back." Max assured her."Don't listen to them. They're all jealous of you. You're my boyfriend. They aren't going to bother you unless they want me

"I think I put it over there." She pointed to her luggage sitting near the foot of the bed.Max nodded and moved over to grab it. He lifted it up and headed over to where Beth was pointing. He set his bag down and unzipped it, taking one of the notebooks out before flipping through it and scanning over the first page."What does that mean?" She questioned, looking over Max's shoulder. She peered down at it closely before frowning slightly. "Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't touch those books?" She warned."Yeah, yeah." Max muttered dismissively, not really paying attention to her anymore.Max flipped through the pages and skimmed over the contents of each notebook. His eyes scanned over the various drawings of different animals and plants until they settled upon the page with the drawing of the wild animals. Max glanced at the clock on the nightstand and frowned. He sighed heavily and turned to look at her."Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" Max asked, getting straight to the
