Passover ended and with Passover ending so did spring break. Spring break was uneventful, all I did was work and hang out with Max. Now it was back too school and the end of the year was coming up fast. Final's were soon, and for the people who cared, it was very stressful. Isabel and Max were studying nonstop, summer and I on the other hand weren't doing much. I was getting B's in all my classes, which was pretty good for me. Summer had done a special training course and was graduating with an already set job of a graphic designer. I had no idea what I was gonna do.

At lunch I was walking over to the corner table too sit by Max and Summer when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Macy standing there with her friends. "Oh hey Macy..." I said.

"So you're Max's friend right?" She asked me smiling.

I nodded, "Yeah, why?" I asked her. I didn't like her one bit. She was responsible for breaking my boyfriends heart.

"Well I just wanted you too tell him that I miss him tons and want him back." She said smiling. He smile was cold, and hardly real.

"Sorry, he's already taken." I said shrugging. Macy looked shocked, but I just walked away and went and sat down.

"University of San Fransisco is my dream college, I don't know what I'll do if I don't get in." Said Max too Summer. It was time to fill out college applications.

"I'm sure you'll get in! You have amazing grades." Said Summer. "What about you Wynter? Applying to any colleges?" She asked. I shook my head.

"You should just do it! What if they accepted you?" Asked Max.

"How would I pay for it?" I asked him.

"Student loans. Then you go to college, get a good job and voilà! You can pay it off." He said smiling. As if it was really that simple.

"I'll apply for two. Salem, because my grandparents live there, Virgina because my sister lives in Charlottesville and then I would be close too her." I said.

Max smiled and nodded, "Sounds like a good plan." He said.

"I'll not get in too either of them." I said shrugging.

"Then you can live with me in San Francisco!" Said Max laughing. "You really underestimate yourself." He said smiling at me. I just rolled my eyes, he was overestimating me.

After school I was walking too the restaurant with Isabel for work. "So are you and Max going to prom?" She asked me as we walked.

When I had told her Max and I were dating she had freaked out. Then I politely asked her not to tell anyone and that killed her vibe. I laughed and looked down kicking a rock as we walked, "Funny." I said.

Isabel stopped walking and looked at me. "What do you mean funny? I was being serious. I know you guys never officially came out too everyone, but it would be cute and romantic. It's prom!"

I stopped and looked at her, "Yeah. I don't know. I'll talk to Max about it later. We're probably going too go too prom, just not you know. Go to prom."

"You mean you'll go, but not as a couple?" She asked as she started walking again.

"Yeah, exactly." I said as I tried too keep up with her quick walking pace.

"What are you worried about? The school years almost over. By the time prom comes there'll only be a month left. Just think about it, for me?" She said.

"No way." I said shifting my gaze downward again. Isabel just sighed and kept walking. I didn't want the whole high school too know about me and Max, I'm sure Max felt the same way, high schoolers weren't the most accepting. I guess Isabel didn't understand, and I don't think she ever would.

After a slow day at work Max came and picked me up. We were sitting in his car when I brought up prom. "Prom is coming up." I said.

"Do you want pizza?" He asked, totally avoiding my question. I nodded because pizza was always good. We sat in silence until we got too a little pizza cafe by my old house. I used to walk here all the time. They had the best Hawaiian pizza. After we ordered we went and sat down and Max looked at me from across the table.

"Sometimes I wonder is you listen too what I say." I told him. I didn't know why but I felt slightly hurt this time. It happened all the time though, was it that big of a deal?

Max stared intently at me with his beautiful blue eyes. "I'm always listening, sometimes I just don't know what too say."

I still wondered if he listened too me at all. I still had never got him too promise me anything, I wonder if he forgot about that. The whole rest of dinner we small talked about school, the ACT test vs. SAT test, Isabel, Summer, anything really. After we were done I still had this melancholy feeling that I couldn't shake. I also never told a Max about was Macy said at lunch today.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Max asked me when we got in the car. Instead of answering him I just looked out the window. "Wynter-" He started.

"I was talking to Macy at lunch today." I said looking out at the sky. It was just starting too get dark.

"Really? What did she say?" He asked me.

I finally realized what that melancholy feeling was. It was the same feeling that I had when Max and Macy had started dating, jealousy. Was I really worried that Max would leave me for Macy? I guess I was. "...she said she wants too date you again."

"Oh." Sad Max, then the car got really quiet and I couldn't stand it.

"We should go. I have a lot of homework I need too do." I said. With that Max drive us home. I went straight to my room and didn't come down for the rest of the night.
