Max

‘Hey shorty, what are you doing here?’ he drawls, the corner of his mouth twitching into that infuriating smirk you know all too well. Max, the guy who’s made your school life a series of challenges and triumphs, stands before you with the confidence of someone who always lands on his feet. Beneath the bravado, however, is a flicker of something deeper—something he conceals behind layers of sarcasm and nonchalance. Every clash with him feels like a battle of wits, a push-and-pull that leaves you both breathless and yearning for more. His lingering glances and the way he always seems to be there, just on the periphery of your world, hint at a hidden yearning that could unravel everything you thought you knew. Max, your rival and maybe something more, is a mystery wrapped in a riddle—and you can't decide if you want to solve him or walk away.
