"ARE you going out?"
Hero stopped walking when he heard Max's voice behind him. He turned to face her. "Yeah. Lance and Miggy invited me to the funfair," he replied.
It was almost six o'clock when their classmates left. Max wanted to end the tutorial earlier but they asked for an extension as they were enjoying the lessons. He was so tired he felt his brain drain from it. The fair would be the best stress reliever.
"Do you want to come with us?" he asked hesitantly.
"No. I, uh, I got something else to do. Thanks, anyway."
"Okay! I'm going first. Good night!"
"Good night! Have fun!"
He hesitantly waved goodbye before heading out the door.
"Oh! Where's Max?" the two immediately asked when he came out.
"She said she has something else to do," he replied simply. Actually, he didn't have any intention to invite her. He didn't want her to get annoyed with his friends then get back at him later.
