Max was learning new things about Jay in real time, and one of them was just how fast the guy could run.
Despite his size, Jay was keeping up without breaking a sweat as they tore out of the school grounds together.
The second they passed through the front gates, most of the students behind them gave up the chase. Not everyone was brave enough to ditch class, and definitely not everyone had the principal in their back pocket like Max did.
"Looks like they're not chasing us," Jay said, breathing hard and clutching his chest. "That was scarier than I thought it'd be."
"Yeah," Max replied, still walking. "It's scary when a whole group gangs up on one person."
Jay knew exactly what Max was getting at. That was a direct shot at him, back when he ran with Snide's crew, when they'd all jumped Max together.
Come to think of it, Jay had never really asked how Max managed to hold his own in that situation. Most people would've hit the floor and started begging.
