{24} Graphic Novel

(Y/N)'s POV

"Oh my gosh there's Gigi," was the first thing I heard Max say as I walked over to him and Justin.

I rolled my eyes at the same time Justin said, "Oh brother."

"I usually don't notice girls with soft, shiny hair, but it's like a field of gold up there," Max said, ignoring us.

"Ok, whatever you guys do, don't show this to Gigi. If Alex didn't want us to see it, there's no way she wants Gigi to see it," Justin whispered to us.

"What is it anyway?" I asked.

"It's a graphic novel the Alex was writing and it is embarassing," Max replied.

Soon Gigi walked over, "Justin. (Y/N). Hi Max. What you got there?"

As Justin and I were about to speak Max replied, "It's Alex's secret journal and pictures. She's created drawings. Look!"

I yanked Max by the bag as Justin looked at him, whispering, "Like I said, don't show it to Gigi!"

"But Justin, we hate Alex and Gigi hates Alex so don't we want to give it to Gigi?" Max asked

I replied, "There's a difference between family hate and people hate Max."

"If someone in your family hates someone you're supposed to hate that person too" Justin added.

I let go of Max as he said, "Oh, I get it. Then I hate pumpkin pie so you hate pumpkin pie."

"You know I love pumpkin pie!" Justin exclaimed.

Gigi turned to us, "Max could you carry my books for me?"

"Yes! Can I brush your hair too?" Max asked.

Gigi looked at him weird as I facepalmed. "Is that weird?" Max asked.

"Yeah" Gigi replied, "It is, actually. That's ok, I'll take my books back."

Justin hit Max's shoulder, "Max, she just took Alex's journal."

"Oh did I?" Gigi asked.

"Yeah, you kind of did," I sassed.

"I'll just take that back," Justin said.

Soon they were arguing back and forth until books went flying and I was knocked out by a flying book and the last thing I remember was hearing Max say something like, "Literarium terrarium."

I then woke up in the nurse's office and was allowed to head back to class, though I wasn't able to see Max after school so I head home and took a nap until dinnertime, hoping tomorrow would be better and less getting hit on the head with books.

"Hey Max, heard you guys got into a bit of a tumble with Gigi," I said, stopping at Max's locker.

"Yeah, it was over Alex's journal from yesterday," Max replied.

I nodded, "I remember, before I got hit in the head with a book."

Max laughed, "Yeah, Justin felt really bad about it. So, you good to come over after school?"

"Yup, hope you're ready to get your butt kicked at video games again," I laughed.

Max shook his head, "In your dreams."
