"Hey, Samuel." Max's voice makes me tear my gaze away from her as he stands beside me. "I am glad you could make it, man." He slaps my back when I turn to him.
Because of my jealousy, I wouldn't have seen this earlier, but there is something likable about his personality. He has a welcoming personality that makes you feel like you have known him for a very long time. Honestly, getting past my jealousy, I can clearly see that he is a friend which all of us need in our lives, but only a few lucky people are the ones who have such friends.
