"I don't really care," He replied, shrugging and handing it to her, before glancing at the clock. "Dammit, late..."

"Just goooooooo!" May croaked, taking the thermometer from her brother and sticking it in her mouth.

"Alright, alright!" He replied, and waved at her before grabbing his things and running off.

May swatted at him from her window as he and April piled into the family's car and drove off.

Very late, in fact, do to congested traffic. It was about ten when he finally got in, making him two hours late.

Which just amped up the embarrassment.
During passing time, while he went to his third period, he got stopped by a familiar, smiling face for a few seconds.
"Hey, where's your sis? Everyone's asking me, like I know or something."
"She's sick..." He replied, staring down at his feet.
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yeah. But she'll get better! She's good at that."
"Awesome. Seeya later alligator."
And with that, he looked back up, to see her crop of black hair disappearing in the crowd. He heaved a sigh, and entered the PE classroom.

As per normal, the class was a hectic mess of dodgeball (bloody budget cuts, man) as the insane Gym teacher, Mr. Wayne, separated the class into two groups.
All in all, it was a normal day so far.

Of course... and of course it just had to be the literal worst game of the school year, at least to Max and... most of his team. He got put with the nerdier guys, after all, and against the jocks.

The forty or so minutes of hell ended shortly enough, the students lead to the shower room, the jocks taking charge as normal.

Max of course just sort of... kept his head down around them, and was the first person out the door... before tripping over his shoelace and having to stop and retie it.

He'd end up knocking into one of the jocks, Kirk, who slowly turned from joking with his friends to the boy.
"What's up, shrimp?" He mocked Max then.

"I... uh... nothing..." He said, shrinking down a bit, his face turning scarlet.

"I...I do?" He asked, stepping back a bit. "L-listen guys, I... I... I'm not looking for a fight... m-my sister May's sick, come on, uh... you all know her... leave me alone for... for her?"

"Oh, that cute little redhead cheer captain?" Kirk replied, suddenly looking like he was going to lay off.

"Yeah," he replied, feeling slightly more at ease. "She's my twin sister... I mean, you can't tell, obviously... but it's true..."

Kirk's sudden change in personality reverted then, a slight rage returning. "Y'know, she cheated on me with our linebacker, Randy?"
The other ex, Randy, chimed in from the back of the group. "And she was cheating on both of us with Mitchel!"
"...When he was a chick." Kirk added, cracking his knuckles. "Damn, your sister kinda pisses me off..."

"I-I-I-I'm sorry!" He replied, quickly ducking back down into his little shell of a blazer. "I... I'm not really like her... actually, we're kinda opposites... which is funny because it happens a lot with twins, I think... especially since we're boy and girl and not both girls or both boys or anything like that..."

"eh... Don't really care!" Kirk replied, a casual indifference as he balled up his fists and loomed closer. "Mind if I pound on ya? For your sister?"
