One Of The Boys ~(Mini-Stories!)~

Julia

‘You high five


Your goodbyes,


And it leaves me nothing but blisters.’

I waved back shyly as Max waved over-enthusiastically at me. I had to admit, out of all the Bladebreakers, BBA Revolutions, or whatever they call themselves, Max was my favourite.

That floppy blonde hair of his… The bright blue eyes… The cuddlyness, and sugary-hyperness… I guess you could say I had a wee bit of a crush on him.

He waved at me again, inviting me to go over to him. He was currently having a conversation with Raul, Tyson and Tala… An unlikely group, I know. I made my way over to him, cringing a little as Raul grinned at me, knowing exactly why I was a bit nervous.
“Are you okay, Julia? You’re a bit pink,” Max asked worriedly, tilting his head at me and looking utterly adorable.
“She’s alright. I think she’s just got a case of the hots,” Tala butted in before I could answer, knowing exactly what Raul knew about me fancying Max.
“A case of the hots? That sounds terrible!” Max said, pressing his palm against my forehead, thinking I was ill.

He was so naïve.

So cute.

Before I knew it, Raul was making excuses for us to be elsewhere, and I found myself being torn from my crush. But before we left, the boys all high-fived (even Tala!), and Max eventually high-fived me, too.

I don’t know why boys do it, but I thought I’d high-five, too.

That way, I get to touch Max’s hand.

Oh my God! I’ve touched Max’s hand!

Me and Raul smiled as we left, and I looked down at my hand. It was very red, and was tingling a little. I hadn’t realised in my loved-up state, but Max has high-fived me quite hard, causing my hand to ache!

But, he touched my hand… And my forehead…
