Why did things have to be so confusing? So complicated? So damn confusing and complicated? Why did he have to be head over heels for his best friend Kiara? Why did he get butterflies in his stomach whenever he was around her? Why had he spent all of Muggle Studies staring at her butt? And more importantly what on earth possessed him to sit anywhere near her?! Was he bloody idiot?! WHat was wrong with him?! This was one of the many times he wished he could just curl up under a rock somewhere and hide everything out. Kovu hated these feelings. But at the same time he loved them. He loved Kiara. He loved how she acted. How she was the first person, despite the fact that he had acted the worst to her, to become his friend when he had begun turning in their fourth year. He loved her body too. Her hair, her lips, her skin, everything. He wanted to hug her, caress her, kiss her. He had never felt like this about anyone and it scared the internal organs out of body.

The last class, muggle studies, had recently ended which flooded Kovu with relief. That was before he remembered he still had to escape the classroom and the hallway to avoid Kiara. He didn’t understand why. But he had to. He didn’t want to be rejected or say something stupid or make a fool of himself in anyway. He was afraid if he was with her he’d kiss her or do something of the sort. To top all of that his family knew about Kiara who was from a rival family. not just the rival family. The family and people he had been trained to one day kill and overthrow. But he couldn’t do that. He knew they weren’t bad. Not to mention despite him being good, more than half the school couldn’t see past his reputation or his past actions. Yeah, banging his head against the brick walls of the corridors sounded like a very pleasant idea about now.

Now he was in the corridors trying to hide from Kiara. To avoid her at all costs. Hiding wasn’t exactly the easiest thing when you were a six foot three, muscular, good-looking teenager. Curse his height. As he hid between two columns, he could see Kiara walk the opposite way. A flush of relief and longing filled his stomach. Yet . . . he wanted the sensation back already. He wanted to chase after her and ask her out. He wanted to grab her by the arm turn her around and kiss her while holding her in his arms. He felt like an idiot for it but . . . he couldn’t help it. He just couldn’t it was too much for him. He wanted to be with her. He wanted to follow her. Chase after her. Corner her. Tell her about his feelings. But he was afraid. Afraid of rejection or her reaction. What if she didn’t want to date? What if she didn’t even want to be friends? What if she said yes and they went out and broke up and things were never the same? What if she hurt him? Or worse. If he hurt her? Well, he’d have plenty of time to think all of it over in detention later.

Better to be cool then to be a goof.

Max had had an interesting day... First he had an early shift as a waiter which left him with very little sleep. Then he realized he forgot to do his homework for history of magic, not that that turned out too bad, before he tripped over his own feet. Not only did he trip over his feet, he did it in the middle of the hall. So he was doing his best to try to wake himself up so he wasn't a doof while at the same time recover. Once his last class ended, he left PJ to do his own things before he tried to find a place to sulk and sleep.

Instead, he got distracted by a sight he hadn't seen in a while. Kovu hiding from Kiara and although Kovu hiding from her was pretty common now, Max hadn't seen it in a while because he had been trying to avoid him. It wasn't because he didn't like Kovu or anything... He hadn't before but it was hard to dislike someone who was trying so hard to be good. No... He felt guilty and hadn't been able to see Kovu for now, embarrassed that Kovu got caught in the protective objects scam.

He had been selling some protective newt tails, which were just regular Newt tails, last time there was a scare. It had been about an evil ghost, which Max knew Headmaster Maus wouldn't leave in the building if it actually existed, so he had no qualms playing on fears to sell those. He needed the money to give his father a better life and to be able to afford other elements of things. Anyways... Kovu took the blame and he wasn't exactly sure what to say to Kovu... But they did need to talk.

Hence... Max walked up behind Kovu and tapped the taller person's shoulder. "Hey." He said simply when Kovu turned around. "Can we talk?"

Max had been avoiding Jamie rather well for a while now so needless to say when he felt someone tap his shoulder Max was the last person he expected to be there. But it was him alright. He wondered what Max could’ve wanted or what he might’ve needed. After all they hadn’t even talked since he had taken the blame for one of Max’s schemes involving newt tails. Kovu didn’t mind though. It was helping him gain some trust. Not to mention it gave him a reason to not be near Kiara. That helped. Couldn’t be near Kiara if he was in detention. Of course Kiara could’ve gotten detention. That thought sent shivers down his spine a bit. Being in detention with only Kiara? In a room with her . . . what if the teacher left for a moment? Then they’d be all alone. Kovu shook the thoughts off as Max spoke.

“Uh, yeah sure,” Kovu answered, “Here?”

Max’s question was more of a surprise than it being him who tapped his shoulder. Perhaps he was starting to warm up to him? It would definitely make him feel a bit better. There were so many people who still thought of him as a bad guy. He hated that. He hated that people couldn’t see him for the person he is now. Of course he couldn’t exactly blame him. He had treated so many people like trash and was the chosen heir of Scar. That title came with more enemies than it did friends. He had learned that the hard way. Not that him being a jerk didn’t add to it or anything.

Kovu had known Max for a long time. They had their problems earlier on. More or less because Kovu had been such a condescending, rude, mean, jerk earlier on. Max of course was a year older than him so they didn’t exactly have classes together. But they were in the same house and you didn’t live in the same place for six years and not know someone. Unless you were blind and the other person was a mute paraplegic. He could see that as a problem. They could live together forever and never know the other person was there.

Max and Kovu came from different worlds though. Kovu growing up was put through vigorous training. He was treated much more like a war tool than a person a lot of times. His older brother and sister had teased and tormented him out of jealousy. Because Scar chose him as his heir rather than one of his own children. After all Nuka was a complete idiot and imbecile and Vitani wasn’t exactly Queenly. Plus Scar wanted a male successor. Life was hard growing up as the chosen heir of Scar. He was brought up to hate the Prides. To be mean, rude and condescending. To be devious like Scar. But he wasn’t Scar. Even if some people did view him that way. Even earlier on when he was liek Scar it was obvious to those that actually looked past him that he was different from Scar or his mother Zira. He actually cared for his allies and friends. Scar and Zira couldn’t care less about their friends or allies. They used them and when they didn’t need them anymore tossed them aside.
