Summary
Mike opened his mouth, then closed it. His brain short-circuited, trying to process. Max Mayfield—Max, who used to call him a dork-ass loser on principle, who once dumped a milkshake on his head for beating her at Pac-Man—wanted to keep sleeping with him. Casually. For the summer.
He took the beer when she offered it again, mostly to buy time. The cold aluminum felt grounding against his palm.
“You sure?” he asked finally. “I mean, you and me…” He trailed off, unsure of where he was going. “Could get complicated.”
Max laughed, soft and surprised. “Scared you’re gonna fall in love with me?”
Mike immediately rolled his eyes. What a completely ridiculous notion.
“No.” He glanced over at her, raising a brow. “Maybe you’ll fall in love with me.”
She snorted. “Dream on, Wheeler.”
***
Mike and Max can totally do this casual friends with benefits thing without it becoming a big deal. It’s just sex.
And it’s just for the summer.
(Right…)

Summary
Nancy inhaled as hard as she could, then coughed as she let it out.
“Breathe in more gently but for longer,” Jonathan said. “It won’t hurt as much.”
“Show me,” she said, because Nancy Wheeler was a girl who did things right. If she wanted to do well in school, she’d do well in school. If she wanted to fight a monster, she’d fight a monster. If she wanted to smoke pot, she could damn well do that the right way too.

Summary
Max leaned with one foot against the wall and headphones on her ears as she smoked a cigarette, resting her head back and exhaling a cloud of smoke into the air.
Seeing movement out of the corner of her eye, she whipped her head towards him, eyebrows knitting together in confusion when she realized who had interrupted her smoke break. She lowered her headphones, letting them rest around her neck as he approached her cautiously.
“What’s up stalker?” she asked flatly, raising an eyebrow as he came to a stop in front of her.
