You were late.

So late.

So late that you felt you might only reach only at the end of first period.

So late that you were wrestling out of Max's hoodie and pulling up your pants while a toothbrush dandled from your mouth.

You brushed your teeth while you stuffed your books in your bag with your free hand and was in such a hurry to spit the you ended up getting toothpaste on your shirt and needed to change.

Then you were barreling down the street with your arms stuffed with books and a hoodie sitting haphazardly above them.

Then you ignored pretty much all the rules of traffic and sprinted to school, only to find out that your teacher for first period was absent. Which was annoying, since you had reached there just in the nick of time.

And there wasn't a substitute either.

That was how, you and your classmates ended up in the cafeteria, catching up on homework or sleep or just doing rubbish.

You sat at one of the tables at the end when Phoebe came up to you with a packet of chips, some granola bars and a bottle of juice.

"I figured you didn't eat any breakfast." She smiled, taking a seat next to you while you tried to make your hair look more presentable. Cherry was in English and she was going to be so jealous when she finds out you had a free period this morning.

Tearing open the granola bar, you sent Phoebe a thankful smile as she set the book you needed for the project in front of you.

You bit into the snack and stuffed some of the books that you couldn't fit in your hurry into your bag, keeping the hoodie on your lap. You turned to Phoebe to ask her if she found anything helpful from the book when you saw that she was looking around, looking suspicious.

"Pheebs? You okay?"

"I'm fine, it's just, where is that smell coming from?"

Your brows furrowed, 'Can she smell that I didn't take a shower this morning?'

Phoebe's hands suddenly shot out and grabbed the hoodie from your lap, sniffing it like a dog. She paused, looking at you with an astonished look, "That cologne. Is-Is this Max's hoodie?"

You pursed your lips when she came closer to sniff you, 'Please start to lecture me about how I should've taken a shower this morning.'

"Were you wearing Max's hoodie?!"

"I might've tried it on."

She stared you down with a look of disbelief, "Is-Is this why you were late? Max didn't come home last night either—" "Ew! No! Phoebe! That didn't happen! I swear!"

She laughed, "Yeah I know, I just wanted to see your reaction."

You glared at her, "I hate you."

"You should've seen your face!"

"Oh shut up!"

After seeing Max around the corridors, you realized that he was never alone. Ever.

You had practically stalked him for most of the day to return his hoodie but he never seemed like he got a moment to himself. He was like the Regina George of Men, always running around with his friends like they were a litter of pups.

Why can't he ever get a moment alone?

Phoebe was no help either, she wanted to see how you'd fair against his pack and while you were in no hurry, you were worried that you'd grow attached to it.

You glare at the back of his head as he talked to a couple of his friends. How did he even have so many friends and not drive them crazy?

"What'cha doing?" Chirped Cherry as she sat beside you and you shook your head, turning your gaze to her, "Nothing much. What's up?"

You sighed, watching Max get up and walk away with his friends and glared at his back.

"Wow, (Y/N), you really look like a murderer, do you really hate him that much?"

'Oh, if only you knew.'

"Is that cologne I smell? Was goody-two-shoes (Y/N) with a guy?"

'Oh, if only you knew.'

"Yeah, I've been hooking up with Oyster." You replied casually. You were duped by one best friend, couldn't you dupe the other?

"What?!" Outraged, Cherry stood up and you laughed, looking at her face that resembled her name.

"Relax, I'm just kidding." "Why did you do that?" She cried, clearly flustered by her crush on Oyster, before realization struck her, "Did Phoebe get you?"

"Yep."

She sat down beside you, "But seriously, whose cologne is that?"

You rolled your eyes as she leaned into you, sniffing your shoulder when she gasped, "Max?!"

'What the heck?!' You stared at her in pure shock, "Is this a thing that you and Phoebe do? You just go around sniffing her brother? Also, this cologne was mass produced, I wouldn't be surprised if half the school's male population wore this because it a good quality. It's long lasting."

"I can't believe the rumor is true. I mean, I heard that Max was friends with benefits with someone but I never actually believed it!" 

"What?! Friends with benefits?! That is not true! Where the heck would you get that idea?!"

She laughed, "Yeah I know, I just wanted to see your reaction."

You blinked a couple of times, "Unbelievable. What is wrong with the two of you?" You grumbled as Cherry laughed beside you.

It was the last period and you still hadn't returned his hoodie and what you feared had come true. You were beginning to think this was a sign from the gods just to keep a hold of it. It was corrupting you, so much that you wanted to actually wear it to remember these last few moments fondly.

So when the bell rang, you were desperate to give it back before you cried.

Spotting Max in a distance, obviously with his friends, you speed-walked to catch up with him. When you were about a foot away from him, you just pushed the hoodie into his arms and walked away.

"Nothing to say?!" Max called after you and you blushed. 'People around us, please don't think we were hooking up.'

Max watched your receding figure with a smirk, sniffing the hoodie and recognizing the slight trace of your perfume, "Nice."

A folded piece of paper fell out of one of the pockets and he picked it up. After reading it, he noticed the wrinkles on his hoodie and let the faintest trace of a smile grace his face.

He chuckled, "I don't think you'll ever be getting this list back, (Y/N)."

Should I wear Max's hoodie to bed?

Cons:

1.It's Max's

2.If he found out, I'd never hear the end of it.

3.I could drool on it.

4.Something might happen to it.

5.I might grow attached to it.

6.It's rude to wear someones clothes without them knowing.

7.It's even ruder to wear someones clothes to bed without them knowing.

8.It's embarrassing to wear Max's hoodie to bed.

9.It's even more embarrassing to want to wear Max's hoodie to bed.

10.I could wrinkle it.

Pros:

1.It's smells so good DX
