[color=36506B]“Thank you very much!”[/color]  Max smiled at the portly lunch lady as he grabbed his lunch. He turned around to look for his cousin whom he had a very special lunch date with. But before he could spot him his phone buzzed violently on the tray. He sat down at the closest empty table and looked at the text message from Georgie. A wide smile spreading across his face as he read. Max’s head popped up as he finished reading looking around for Georgie. when he spotted her at a table with one of her friends he grabbed his tray and made his way over to their table.

[color=36506B]“Can I finally call myself a real model then?”[/color]  Max chuckled as put down his tray and crouched down folding his arms in front of Georgie. [color=36506B]“You can use the picture if you think you will win with it and if you send me the pictures as you promised!”[/color]  he smiled at her. [color=36506B]“Deal?”[/color]  he said tapping the table and stood up. [color=36506B]“See you around!”[/color]  he bid them farewell as he backed away.  

In the farthest corner table in the cafeteria Archer sat nose down in his notebook scribbling away furiously shutting out the rest of the world. This weekends activities had left the boy in quite a funk. First his brother comes out of nowhere bringing up the darkest memories of his life and right after that he gets punched in the face… twice. But like always he gets saved by his friends they must be so tired of bailing him out. These are the thoughts that had swirled around in Archer’s head the last couple of nights. Writing it all down was the only thing that helped right now. Getting his thoughts out instead of keeping them in like he had done the last time. 

[color=36506B]“Heyo! Little cousin!”[/color]  a burly voice called out from behind him. He recognized that jovial shout anywhere. It was a voice he had grown up with, his cousin Max. 

Without turning around Archer drawled [color=35996b]“Still older than you by two months Max.”[/color] . He closed his book and put it away in his bag as Max made his way around to sit across from Archer.

Max put on his signature grin [color=36506B]“I mean in stature… I always mean in stature Archie!”[/color]  he followed it up with that booming laugh of his. [color=36506B]“So uh… do you have the… you know?”[/color]  he whispered before clearing his throat as he looked down at his lunch. 

The lanky teen just rolled his eyes and dove under the table yet again retrieving a blue folder. [color=35996b]“Yeah, yeah. I have it. Keep your voice down will you?”[/color]  Archie whispered as he slid the folder over to his cousin. [color=35996b]“It’s not A+ material… but you know it has to look believable.”[/color]  he sighed wincing bringing his hand up to his eyebrow where a big cut was visible. He ran a hand through his hair revealing his fresh shiner covering his right eye.

[color=36506B]“This looks great Arch… I-”[/color]  Max said flipping through the pages of the essay. He cut himself short when he caught sight of his cousin’s face. [color=36506B]“What the hell happened to you?!”[/color]  he exclaimed dropping the folder and leaning closer to Archer surveying his face. 

Archer backed away a little before letting out another big sigh [color=35996b]“Uhm, yeah well your boy Leone wasn’t as o.k with authenticity as you are. And you know he had problems with my lifestyle choices.”[/color]  he said picking at his thumb nail. [color=35996b]“But it’s over… don’t worry about it.”[/color] 

The larger teen’s fists was balled up on the table in front of him. His blue eyes staring at his cousin, a blazing fire lit behind him. [color=36506B]“Brad. Did this to you?”[/color]  he said slowly [color=36506B]“He beat you up? Because you’re… gay?”[/color]  he continued breathing heavily.

[color=35996b]“Yeah but M-max. It’s taken care of… Don’t-”[/color]  Archer tried but his cousin had already whipped his phone out typing furiously.

[quote][color=36506B]“Emergency team meeting in 10 minutes on the field! Fail to be there douchebags and you’re kicked out of the team!”[/color] [/quote]

Max sent out the message to the Lion’s group text chain and stood up [color=36506B]“Fuck that, it is taken care of when I say it is taken care of!”[/color]  he hissed as turned on his heel sprinting out of the cafeteria leaving Archer staring after him.

[color=36506B]“So!”[/color]  Max yelled out in front of his fellow players [color=36506B]“I trust everyone had a great time Saturday!”[/color]  he continued to a murmur of agreement and a few highfives. [color=36506B]“Some might have had too much fun!”[/color]  he locked eyes with Brad before he continued with his speech [color=36506B]“It has come to my attention that my cousin got beat up. By one of you fuckers.”[/color]  he looked around the team who had all fallen silent. [color=36506B]“And I don’t take kindly to hate crimes. So if I hear of any of you motherfuckers touch him or any of his friends ever again, I will personally throw you out of this team. And now I know some of you can’t afford that.”[/color]  he finished crossing his arms in front of him [color=36506B]“Now fuck off!”[/color]  he said before walking away.
