Stupid Crush was still smiling, but Max kissed him again, and a third time, and then he was in the game, smiles gone and his hand coming up to rest on Max’s jaw.
He brushed their lips together over and over, and Max boggled at how he could feel everything everywhere even though they were only actually touching in three places. He caught his breath when Crush pulled back slowly.
Crush blinked at him, a smile spreading across his face. “Thank you.”
Max felt a grin burst out on his face. “This was great. We should go home, though!”
“Okay, just let me grab my—
Max
!” screamed Crush as Max pushed him off the building.
“Don’t worry,” Max shouted, “I’ll catch you!” and dived off the roof after him.
HAYDEN SCOTT
grew up, very reluctantly, on a farm in the middle of nowhere. She spent her time climbing trees and playing in the dirt until the day she discovered books, at which point she holed up inside her imagination and never came out again. She prefers to believe the whole phrase is “Jack of all trades, master of none, certainly better than master of one,” because it makes her feel better about being interested in almost everything. She would definitely have time to study all those things if only she didn’t need to sleep.
Hayden likes magic, adventure, romance, and puns. She has no idea where she is going but hopes that writing stories will make the journey more interesting.
