Nancy is now used to the maze-like school and her classes. She continues to keep to herself, mostly since everyone around her prefers to gossip about her, instead of actually talking to her. Some students are envious since she is at the top of her class, others because she is too close with Max, others just assume that Nancy is stuck up, not talking to anyone other than Max and his friends. But, thankfully they were "all bark, no bite". Even though the students didn't think highly of her, they just kept gossiping, not actual physical bullying. Max's friends also got used to him hanging out with Nancy more than them, but of course, outsiders can see the situation clearly. Max simply adored Nancy. Always asking her opinion, inviting her out with and without his friends. Nancy even started to accept the invites, although she refused most of them.
*********************
It was the norm now for Max to walk with Nancy to and from school. They would usually talk about their day. And when the weekend was close Nancy would always think of where Max would be inviting her next and if she would agree or not. She always kept the thought that this friendship was only temporary in the back of her mind (even though she is slowly forgetting to think about it). Max and Nancy also hang out sometimes after school dancing at his house. How they are still not going out is a mystery, since you can see, they have mutual feelings when they dance together. Even when they hang out on the weekend and Nancy's dressed like a cute middle schoolboy, they have fun. When they are together it is almost like they are in their own little world. Well, mainly because Max can't seem to leave her alone (not in a bad stalking way).
*****Halloween Bash ****
Even though the weather is cooling down and the leaves are changing color, everyone in the school is in a hot frenzy. Why, you ask, well because of the school "Halloween Bash Party". Students from different classes and grades are working together for this event. See, this isn't just a Halloween dance, it's a school event for Halloween. Meaning they will have games, contests, etc. Oh, of course, there will be a dance at the end of all the fun and games. As well as prizes for different kinds of costumes, for example, the scariest or the funniest.
********Max's POV
I want to ask Nancy to go with me to the Halloween Bash Party, but when? I know it is best to ask her when we are alone (the thought of asking her now, while walking with no one else around, seems to have slipped through his mind, as he soon became distracted by other thoughts.)
Hmmmm...(he glances at her).... would she wear a cute costume...Nah she is already cute (imagining her as a little pink bunny)...maybe a monster costume??....(he laughs slightly at the thought, not realizing they are slowing down their pace as Nancy looks up at him) she would still look cute....he glanced at her again, taking in her petite, but feminine body. She was simply wearing a white long-sleeved, button-down blouse tucked in neatly, inside her long flowing dark blue skirt some pretty drawing on it, flats, earrings that matched her dark blue skirt and her hair in a french braid to the side, exposing some of the nicely tanned skin on her neck and then her eyes.....the way the green with the yellow hue mixes in her eyes...it's so.....she is soo beautiful.....
******** Nancy's POV
Hmm, why is he so quiet all of a sudden???...(she looks up at him)...why does he seem to be spacing out??? (She shrugs and continues to walk next to him, only slowing down when she hears him laughing.) Now he is laughing? Ok, I got to ask him what's going on. (They stop walking and this time when she looks up at Max, he is looking at her.) Is he sizing me up??!!!! No way.....she thinks as she begins to blush. She tries to look away only to be caught by his mesmerizing honey orbs.
Max ended up placing his lips on hers before she could refuse. I mean she could still push away...if she wanted to. Nancy's mind started going crazy...memories of them close together as they dance.....the almost kiss from the first time she went to his house.... and now it is not just an 'almost kiss' it is an actual kiss!!!!!
****** Regular POV
Max was insane...I mean he is actually kissing the girl he has been dying to have, to kiss and she isn't pushing him away. He was happy to finally press his lips on hers, to taste her strawberry chapstick, he was getting lost in her sweet scent, he couldn't help but lick her lips. Nancy gasped, even though she barely opened her mouth, it was enough. Max seized the moment, leaning towards Nancy, one hand moved behind her head, while the other slid around her waist, pulling her closer to him, bringing her up to meet him and deepen the kiss. Nancy was shocked, surprised, overwhelmed, but once she felt his tongue roaming around her mouth, playing with her tongue, while one hand, held her firmly around her small waist, the other gently holding her head, his scent filling the air she breathed. She started to lift up her hands, holding his shoulders. She was now reciprocating his feelings and it was driving him crazy....the hand on her waist, now slowly slid up and down her side.....but well, they were still outside
They awoke from their little make-out session when they heard someone whistling. Nancy tried to back away, but Max didn't allow her out of his grip. He held her firmly, careful not to hurt her. She looked up at him, blushing bright red, when she was about to complain, he simply wrapped his arms around her waist and closed his eyes and placed his forehead on hers.
