An Opportunity
Max simply explained what he did as a profession to (Y/N) and she found it rather interesting. Problem is, she doesn't know how to edit videos.
Back in high school, (Y/N) joined a cinematography club. After the first meet up, (Y/N) was already overwhelmed with different kinds of software, techniques, tricks, and how to download files. It was too much for her, already being held of high standards and being in advanced classes. So (Y/N) never returned to that club ever since.
Max told (Y/N) about how his friends and him were famous youtubers, and they make comedy content. Max also mentioned a couple things that happen during the work day, to hopefully not make (Y/N) stress over the proposed job.
"That sounds really fun!! But I don't know how to edit videos." (Y/N) said with a pursed lip. Then, the waiter came back with a plate filled with salad and dressing on the side. (Y/N) said a 'thank you' again.
"That's fine! You can just help us set up when we have to do skits and all that. And maybe if I have time, I could probably teach you how to edit our content." Max smiled proudly. For once, he brightened up and he felt confident. He actually sat up straight and genuinely talked to someone.
It was like (Y/N) made him comfortable. But it was weird. It was the 'comfortable' feeling of when you talk to someone you already know.
(Y/N) sighed in relief and smiled at Max. "So you think I can start, maybe tomorrow?" (Y/N) asked politely, hoping for the best.
Max turned around to look back at the table of his friends. He eyed down Adam, and of course he was eavesdropping. Adam nodded, already knowing what Max was wondering.
Max turned back to (Y/N), and she was already chewing on her food. Max grinned, thinking she was pretty cute for someone just eating a salad.
"You can start tomorrow, is 8 am okay for you?" Max replied to (Y/N)'s question. (Y/N)'s eyes widened and her heart beated faster.
"Yeah! That's great! Oh my gosh, thank you!" (Y/N) said exited with a huge smile on her face. Max almost admired it. Then again, he did think (Y/N) was a pretty person.
"Alright, here's my number and I'll pick you up?" Max asked confidently taking a pen out of his pocket and writing the 10 digit number. He caught himself and thought 'wow, I'm actually doing this'
(Y/N) nodded, taking the napkin Max wrote on, putting it away. "I'll text you my address then. I trust you not to be a creep." (Y/N) chuckled playfully. Max giggled shaking his head. "I'm not crazy."
(Y/N) nodded and Max began to stand up from the booth. "It was nice meeting you, (Y/N)." Max said scratching the back of his neck. (Y/N) grinned saying the same thing. "You too, Max." She said rather quietly.
Max grinned turning away from (Y/N)'s booth and going back to his friends.
"Max looks very familiar.." (Y/N) whispered to herself, and only to herself. (Y/N) swore she saw him one time. Or maybe it's her mind playing tricks on her.

Ross and Tim saw Max coming back and they were astonished that he was smirking. Adam, Red, and Barney waited for an answer.
"So, she's gonna start working with us tomorrow?" Adam asked but more in a statement tone. Max nodded and tried to hide his excitement.
"Max is happy. Glad Max." Red states as the guys start to laugh. Max only glared at him, but it was who his friends were.
"Shut up." Max said sharply. "Mad Max." Red then said with a straight face. Max took a step closer to Red, and Red put his hands up in defense. "Woah woah, it's just a prank bro."
Max ignored Red and sat in his seat where the food he ordered sat on the table. Max began eating and he tried to remember that (Y/N) was going to work with him tomorrow to make him feel a little better.
Max had to take (Y/N) under his wing. Somehow, for some reason, Max thought (Y/N) looked familiar, but the memory was very very faint. He ignored it, and focused on his food.
The guys were talking amongst themselves and Max decided to take a peek at (Y/N). And as awkward as it is, (Y/N) was already looking at Max. But she smiled to avoid the weird atmosphere. Max smiled back, and he took a mental picture of (Y/N)'s cute smile.
'Have I seen that smile before?'
