Being stuck with Max Russo for a semester project was already bad enough.

Then he started acting like you were friends.

Showing up at your locker. Sitting next to you uninvited. Interrupting conversations just to argue with you for fun.

He’s loud, immature, distractible, and somehow always smiling like he knows something you don’t.

You can’t stand him.

Unfortunately, Max thinks this is “flirting.”

And the worst part?

He might actually believe it.

Au: 2009 New York, after-school chaos, stupid arguments, accidental tension, and one incredibly annoying wizard.
