Chapter 36

When Max finally returns to school, a few days have passed and my anger has started to build. The anger mixing with the paranoia that was already high does not make for a pleasant Charlie.

“Where the hell have you been, Maximus?” I call him out on his behavior using his full name and I get some strange looks as I storm toward him in the cafeteria. Emily looks like she is going to be very entertained by this confrontation. Elizabeth looks a bit worried. “Where have you been the past few days and why are you in here now but you weren’t in any of our classes before lunch?” I drop into the seat in front of him and narrow my eyes at him. I wait for a response and when he doesn’t respond right away I reach across the table and snap my fingers in his face. I know it’s a very bitchy thing to do but he’s been gone for days and part of me was worried and the other part was mad.
