Success and Maxwell: FAKE

"That's why people like him so much"

"Comfort's out of town, I think" Prosper changes the topic

"What? Where'd you get that information from?" Success asks

"Places" Prosper mumbles

"She's just in the principal's office. She has some stuff to deal with" Success says

"Do you..." Lili begins

A hand slams on their table "hey ladies"

"We don't have time for you Maxwell." Betty says not bothering to look up

"Don't be a Debby downer or In this case, Betty downer " he chuckles

"Wow " Prosper applauds "your jokes are killer"

"I try" he flatters himself

They all groan

"Can we help you?" Amanda asks, fed up

"Yeah I wanna ask Success an important question"

"That is ?" Success asks

"Would you go out with me?"

"What?"Success is beyond shocked

"Yeah me, you , date"

"Uh ..."

"Give me a chance. It'll be fun" Maxwell urges

"I'll think about it." Success mumbles

"Ok when should I expect your reply"

"After school hours"

"Ok see ya" Maxwell takes his leave

The girls are dumbfounded.

"Wow he just did the most unpredictable" Precious, a sucker for drama sits straighter in her seat.

"I'm speechless" success says lifelessly

"What's your decision?" Lili asks

"Well I don't know, sister. If I knew I would have told him"

"You guys would really be good together. A loud boy and a loud girl" Amanda comments

"Im feeling nauseous. This food is making me feel funny. I gotta go " she runs to the bathroom.

"I'm being paranoid. It's just a date. Why am I being so affected?" She kicks a soda cap around

"Hey" a voice calls out. She whips around to see Maxwell running towards her.

"Hi"he greets first

"Hey" she shyly responds

"So how was your day?" He asks

"I was distanced through out"

"Oh uhm mine was nice. I was so excited for your answer" he said smiling widely

"Oh that... " she faked surprise

"U forgot about it?"

"Yeah would you believe that? But I won't go back on my word. I'll give you my answer"

"So what is your answer?"

"I'll give you a chance"

"What? Really?"

"Yeah. I mean if it's ok"

"Fuck yeah it's okay." He lifts her by her waist "I'm so happy. Thank you, you just made my day, my week ,my whole fucking month , Success!"
