Name:
Maxwell Jones
Hobby/Occupation of the Arts:
Acting/drama
Maxwell didn't get into Drama until into his adult hood. He was a geeky child that was very closed off and introverted. As an adult he was pulled into acting and now dreams of the big time on Broadway. Acting is now his life, even though he still has a place in his heart for Star trek and Video Games...Relationship with another plumie: ((his relationship with his best friend
September))
The female plume named September is 8 years my minor. She is 10 years old, extremely friendly...and very bossy.
The day I had met her I had no clue we would become friends, I was a high school graduate...top of my class. September was still in elementary school. I was living in Manhattan at the time alone, with nobody but my cat and collection of video games...
It was a cool November morning, the northern air crisp with the chill of the oncoming winter. I was sitting outside the comic book store fiddling with my coat wanting nothing more than to go inside. But it was early and thus too early...
Thats when a small body bumped into me. A little plume with bi-colored eyes and long brown hair..
"Oh sorry sir!" She laughed and backed away, I stared after her opening my mouth a little, wanting to say something. But like usual...nothing came out. Could I not talk to even a child?
Being an introverted geek, as many referred me as, I had trouble talking to those I don't know. I had thought that maybe I would be able to talk to at least a small child but as I stare, The plume had only rolled her eyes "Talkative arn't cha? Anyways, you think you could help me out? I'm sort of in a pickle"
"A...pickle?" I mumbled out incredulously. What was she even talking about? why would anyone be in a pickle pickles are gross...
She nodded frantically and looked side to side up and down the street. "Yup, a bad one too, I'm looking for my Lat"
"Your...Lat?" I mumbled, she nodded. What did that mean? I had no idea. What was this child talking about?
"My lat, I lost sight of her a couple of streets down when I was going down 3rd Avenue, I just moved here so i have no idea what I'm doin'-" She laughed out nervously. She looked up at me and smiled chatting on, laughing every few of so sentences.
Lat? did she mean she lost her Latte or something? My first thought was she was looking for a starbucks. My mind drifted off as she was speaking so I didn't quite catch everything. Sometimes I really do drift away...not that I mean to, I'm just not use to others talking to me...
"--so thats what happened and I was wondering if you could direct me?"
I snapped out of my thoughts quickly and stared blankly at her "Huh?"
"To my guardian, Lattan. We were separated a few streets down? looking for-did you even listen?" She glared at me and I flinched a little, holding my paws up in defeat. "I-I"
she snorted and laughed a little then waved in my face "Calm down its ok~ your just a bit...drifty"
I opened my mouth again, but alas no words came out. No words had come to mind, how come I couldn't talk to this child?! she was friendly enough!! I then settled for a small nod.
Needless to say after that we spent the entire day chasing down her guardian in Manhattan, and no I wasn't very happy at the time being that I never got to go into the comic book store before closing...
We both wandered into central park, the sun hiding behind the buildings and others running about from work, or even the many tourists that roam this area.
As we sat down on one of the many park benches I looked to the side watching her carefully, the little plume kicking her feet in thought. I didn't talk to her much during the day, though, she seemed to like to talk to me more. Not that I minded, it was nice for someone to notice your presence and talk to. Although the situation was a bit...bad. "So...september. where are your parents?" She glanced up at me almost surprised I had said something to her. Not surprisingly though...being that she was the one whom talked most the day....moreover ninety five percent.
"I don't know.." I looked to her and watched the little plumes face fall slightly. "I was raised by miss Lattan most of my life...and then at some points I had nobody..." I felt my heart drop when the optimism seemed to lesson a bit. Her mismatched eyes staring into the trees of central park. "oh...I'm sorry...are you ok?" She looked to me and nodded "I'm fine! just a few memories... what about you?" I recoiled a bit racking through my brain on what to tell the little fifth grader. Nothing much...I didn't really have family. I had one or two friends in the past, but those friendships didn't last.... Come on Max say something, be the cool high school teen buddy you see on those cute tv shows....
"I had parents, but I lost them a long time ago. I live by myself now" September blinked and stared at me in wonder
"Nobody took you in?"
I paused thinking then frowned shaking my head. I mumbled a quiet no that she had seemed to hear, her eyes sadly staring at me. "Thats too bad..I'm sorry..."
I sat next to her and smiled, going to try to lighten the mood "So your 10 years old... what grade?" September seemed to brighten up and she laughed "5th! I'm going into middle school next year!" I smile at her enthusiasm, which I never had even when I was her age....how could someone as young as she is be so easy to talk to. September pulled me our of my thoughts by her poking me in the side. "Max Max Maaaxxxx you spaced out again!" I paused and quietly apologized, that seemed to happen way too much...
"I asked what about you?" I thought for a moment "I'm 18...I'm a senior in high school" "really??" September began to stare at me in awe, her eyes brightening up a little, I nodded and laughed. "Yup!" "Thattsss awesome so are you one of those cool kids?" I let out a sigh and shook my head, staring out into the park. "no...I'm actually one of the nerds" I leaned back on the park bench "I play video games, get good grades and well.....unlike others I don't really have many peers..." September looked at me quizzically and shook her head "No friends? that's not cool....hey wait you do have a friend" I looked at her shaking my head "What do you mean?"
"I'm your friend! I don't have much friends either- I think we can be good friends!" I open my mouth to respond but I cant.
Friend? really? someone actually wanted to be my friend?
"You....want to be friends?"
September nodded happily and jump up in front of me, her eyes sparkling "yup! we can be the best of friends! you the more older brother figure and me the baby sister~"
I shake my head in amusement, was she for real? it would be nice to have a friend but...she was in elementary school? I was graduating this year...I was practically a legal adult!
I looked to September staring me down with her eyes, almost like a puppy dog...and I couldn't help but smile. Maybe being friends wasn't that bad...after all, she was nice enough.
"Sure, we can be friends"
I watched her light up like fireworks on the forth of July as she unexpectedly jumped into my arms for a bone crushing hug. I stare ahead not use to the random affection from this child...my 'friend'
that sounded so weird but so great....a friend... I had a friend... that's when I noticed a female plume a few feet into the park running frantically to us that very point, she looked distressed...
"S-S-Sir! h-have you seen...S-SEP!" September jumped and slipped away from me in an instant "LAT!'.
so this was Lat...
'Lat' looked to me and smiled as she embraced September, a thankful glint in her eye "Tt-t-t-hankyou for ww-watching sir, I've been l-l-looking everywheree-e." I mumbled that it really wasn't a problem and as soon as she had arrived, Lat dragged the little plume away. Not even a goodbye, though I do beleive we will cross paths again, and in fact we sure did...
a few weeks after that ordeal, I met the little plume once again at the comic book store where I find myself every week. Except she wasn't lost, of Course her guardian was with her.
It soon became ritualistic and I became super protective of her. I really did seem to adopt as my younger sister at that point, and Lat? may as well now be as close as my 'little sis' September. Having a new found family was overwhelming at times, but then... I'm lucky...
and I'm happy.
