  Matthew looked at the necklace given to him. He studied it, then put it back on before heading out. He decided to grab his slingshot in case Max stops by.

  As he walked on, Matthew stopped when Max came in front of him with his hands on his hips.

  Matthew sighed.

  "Hey pussy, I want you to send a message to Zack!"

  "What's that?"

  Max smirked. "I want you to tell him he needs to go to that party."

  Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

  Matthew scoffed. "Is this how you make friends?" Suddenly, Max stomped towards him, and pulled his chain, causing him to choke.

  "You need to do as I say!" He hissed.

  Matthew smirked as well and raised his eyebrows. "I don't think so!" He whispered. Max's fury pampered down as he eyeballed the necklace. He smirked again.

  Max went behind Matthew and unsnapped the chain.

  "HEY!" Matthew cried.

  Max ignored him as he put the necklace on himself and smiled at Matthew.

  "That was my mother's!" Matthew pointed out. Max laughed

  "I'm sure your sweet mother won't mind me borrowing this for a while..."

  "She's DEAD!" Matthew shouted.

  "Well then, when you see her again, tell her I said, 'Thanks!'." Matthew lunged himself at Max, but missed as the bully backed up.

  "Ah, ah, ah! Your buddy needs to come first! It's rude to deny an invitation."

  Defeatedly, Matthew said. "Fine, I'll fucking tell him!"

  Max nodded and walked off with the stolen chain wrapped around his neck.
