She was a person too. "Her character started out as a muggle video game," he grinned, happy that she seemed interested and hadn't upped and left thanks to his minor nerd out. "But she's so cool she had movies and comics made about her too. I probably have some comics I could lend you... If you want?" Or maybe that was a step too far? He chewed his lower lip shyly but only for a moment because her next words had him cracking into a smile again. "I'll definitely have to lend you some so that you can get inspiration for Halloween! You'd look great as Lara." His teenage boy brain suddenly pictured Zita dressed as the fictional archaeologist and the blush that ensued probably could've broke records. He momentarily glanced out of the window again, watching the countryside zoom past as he willed his cheeks to cool down.
She thought it was really neat to hear about people's passions? Max had no idea where her bad reputation had come from, but clearly, everyone was mistaken. The Zita he was chatting to right now was actually all kinds of awesome. And she wanted to hang out with him during the summer holidays. She wanted to spend time with him Maxton Carden the unpopular, antisocial nerdy kid who had never been invited to anyone's house let alone a girl's.
He chose his next word's carefully, not wanting to mess things up and ruin his chances. His brother's advise when it came to girls had been to just be himself and that's what he was trying to do. "It'd be nice to visit you over the holidays definitely. I can bring the Lara Croft comics then if you want?" You know, so she could get inspiration for her future Halloween costume! "And swimming and eating sounds good but as long as it's in that order because I read somewhere once that eating and then swimming can give you cramps. And I'm not a very strong swimmer so if I got a cramp I could drown and that would be embarrassing..." And what was this rambling? She really needed to learn more about muggle stuff, she knew it enough, but some things were still a bit of a mystery, "Video games, do you have those are your house?" She knew many people that did and maybe she should see about learning more of them, but they always seemed a bit boring to her. This superhero or girl seemed very interesting and Zita was hanging on his words, so she started to notice the pink in his cheeks. That was cute, did he know? She smiled and nodded, "yea I would love to borrow some if you don't mind. I'll give them back I promise." Knowing some people were a bit more possessive of their things, her included than others she made sure to promise to give things back. "You didn't say you would be Thor you know." A playful grin crossed her lips as she called him out on ignoring her request of him being a superhero. "I think you would make a very good Thor." Taking a piece of her hair and wrapping it around her finger she watched him for a moment, "What does she wear, I mean is it cute?" That was still on her mind, though it wasn't a top priority at the moment, they had plenty of time before next Halloween and she wasn't going to rush summer.
She started to wonder why Max hadn't come to her pool party last summer but if he didn't like to swim that was probably the reason and then she thought about everything that went on at the party and the kiss with James and then this term and maybe it was good that Max hadn't been there. She actually started to feel like this was a lost cause if he had heard any of those stories, but Max wasn't telling her to leave and they were friends or at least she thought they were friends, so maybe it didn't matter who she had snogged and what others thought.
That thought seemed right as he seemed to want to come over and hang out with her this summer. "Yes that would be great if you brought them over. If you have the movie we could watch it and stuff too. I mean I have a TV and stuff." He was talking about eating and swimming and then about being embarrassed, Z couldn't help but chuckle a little, "You don't have to worry about that at all. I'm a great swimmer, I love to be in the water, I wouldn't let you drawn, but we can swim and then eat if you want. I mean we don't ahve to swim at all if you don't want." He was going to come over and Zita was excited about this. Andi would be there like every day, Soyara was going to be around a lot, and many of her other friends, but having Max coming over certainly made her feel a bit a butterflies or something in her stomach. She'd make sure the house was clean and stuff before he came over.
