Behind That Facade [BxB]

Death 4: Family

CHAPTER 4:
Family
Max's POV

I walked through the halls that was barren, probably because the lunch bell already rang, I was actually just looking for Jazz when i saw something i shouldn't have. It was Erin Sawyer, on of dakota's minion- the good one that tried to distract dakota just so i wouldn't suffer. The Erin Sawyer was kissing Kaleb O'Riley- the biggest anime geek of LukeWell High

I quickly hid behind the lockers and waited till they stopped "bye, Geek" i heard Erin mutter then silence... i peeked and saw kaleb dazed on the floor. He shook his  then stood up and ran away in the other direction, I got out and-

"Hey K-uh Max" jazz greeted and i gave her a pointed look, she grinned sheepishly "how's your day?" She asked and i groaned "i get to sit beside D in my two first subjects" i said and she snickered

"I wonder if they'll bully me" i muttered and she laughed "Puh-lease, you're literally the new popular guy in school! Its quite impossible" Jazz scoffed and i rolled my eyes "it is possible, im still... new" i said as she shuts her locker "bitch please. You'll sit at the popular table in no time" she said and i shrugged

We walked through the halls till we reached the cafeteria. Jazz and i got in line and got ourselves some food. We we're about to sit at our usual table when "hey! Max!" A voice yelled. I turned to see karl, one of Dakota's minion

I raised a brow and so did jazz "come sit at our table" he said and i turned to jazz, she frowned at him "uh... no thanks. Id rather be with my cousin" i said with a soft smile "oh... she can come too" he said and i looked at jazz again

She gave me an excited grin so as much as I want to not go, i have to... for her. She saved me after all "sure" i said and we walked to the centre table. I sat down and so did jazz, unfortunately, i get to sit down next to Dakota himself

"So, you're Maxwell huh?" A girl purred and i nodded "where did you came from?" Jack, another minion, asked me "im from the Los Angeles, California. Im Jazz's cousin from the father side" U recited just as we practiced "what school did you transfer from?" Another slut asked

"Vien High" i said and jazz grinned at me "Hey Maxie" a familiar voice that made me puke, greeted. I turned and glared at him "Dakota" I nodded as recognition, my eyes widened at the person beside him "uh... Erick? Erin? Was it?" I asked and he just looked at me "Erin" he said and I smiled at him- right. He's dakota's bestfriend

"What's with the long face?" Dakota asked as he sat beside me. I bit my lip in irritation "ahm... Max still doesnt know your names" jazz butts in. I turned to the rest of the populars and they started to ramble about who's fault it was. Karl rolled his eyes

"Hi, im Karl" karl said and i nodded

"Im Jack"

"Im Tasha"

"Im Wendy"

"Im Penny" the flirty girl purred, I gave a tight smile "you already know me, Blue" dakota said and i raised a brow "blue?" I asked and he shrugged "like your hair" he said and I bit my lip at the butterflies in my stomach- wait. No. Its puke "Max is fine" I said firmly and he chuckled "what's the fun in that?" He asked

Yep. This dude's gonna be the death of me...

"Hi aunt" I greeted Mrs. Martins and she grinned "hello Max" she greeted with a grin "You're getting accustomed to that name quite quickly, Tita" jazz teased and my new aunt chuckled "i like it better than his old name. Sue me" Mrs. Martins giggled then tended to her infamous adobo which is chicken with potatoes cooked in soy sauce and vinegar

Jazz rolled her eyes and pulled me up the stairs. Since they have a guest room, I got to stay there. She entered her room and i entered mine which is just across her's. My new room is a pale blue with a blue ceiling, a simple black bed with fluffy pillows. My new clothes is in the closet along with one of my old hoodies- a hoodie that someone special gave me...

I took my socks off since its unbearably hot today. I went to the connected bathroom and looked at myself... i smiled softly at the new look. Yeah... this is me- well, not quite. I took out my contacts and revealed my honey eyes- yes... thats Perfect

"FOOD'S READY!" Mrs. Martins yelled "PUPUNTA NA TITA!" Jazz yelled which i think translated to "Coming, Auntie" I chuckled at the mother and daughter tandem- even though Mrs. Martins is just her Aunt. I removed the jacket and tossed it in a chair, removed my jeans which is quite impossible. I changed into a loose shirt and basketball shorts

I went down and jazz was already stitting in a chair with her own basketball shorts and tank top. I sat down beside her and she smiled "i missed your eyes" she said and i chuckled "me too" i agreed and she giggled

Mrs. Martins placed her amazing Adobo down along with rice, something that I've learn to love. Since Mrs. Martins was an atheist, we started to eat without praying "so! Max, Jazzy sweetie, how was your day?" Mrs. Martins asked

"It was... weird" i mumbled "oh! Its amazing. K-max hasn't been bullied once!" Jazz said excitedly "now that's wonderful!" Mrs. Martins grinned and jazz nodded "at alam mo pa tita, si-" her voice faded as I stared blankly at the food

This was the first food i had here when i met Jazz. I was a bit hesitant since rice wasn't exactly my favorite... but that's gone now. We treated eachother like siblings- ugh! I couldnt even imagine the pain she felt when i was about to jump... it was like she saw his brother trying to kill himself

"-ax! Max, are you listening?" Jazz asked and i smiled at her, she looked exactly as she is- the same beautiful girl that gave me that frilly pink dress fro my 5th brithday... the same girl that treated me like family...

Yeah... jazz and Mrs. Martins is my family...

"Of course, i will always listen" i smiled widely and jazz immediately giggled "oh i know" she winked then went back to eating

Yeah... this is my family
