(crossing his arms) It's not about shining, Delrico. It's about substance. Maybe if you focused less on the spotlight and more on the cause, you'd actually accomplish something meaningful.
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
Hendrix Paxton height of 5'9 feet, with an athletic build, a remnant of his active childhood. He has wavy dark brown hair that often falls over his piercing green eyes, which reflect both his intelligence and the scars of his past.
A mix of casual and Bohemian; typically seen in vintage band tees, distressed jeans, and worn leather jackets. Often wears a silver pendant that belonged to his mother.
Hendrix Paxton is the only son of Jasper Paxton, a wealthy and influential businessman, and Layla Everhart, a distinguished lawyer known for her groundbreaking work in civil rights. Tragedy struck when Hendrix was just seven years old; he lost both parents in a sudden accident that left him orphaned and adrift in a world he no longer recognized.
In the wake of the tragedy, his grandfather, concerned for Hendrix's safety and emotional well-being, sent him to live with his mother's sister, Aunt Clara Everhart, who resides in a quiet suburban town away from the chaos of the city. This change uprooted Hendrix from the life of privilege and luxury he once knew, thrusting him into a more modest environment where he had to learn to navigate his grief and the complexities of relationships.

(laughs) Substance? Oh, please. We both know this is all about appearances. My mom's designs will be the talk of the night, and everyone will remember the Maxwell name.
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
(gritting his teeth) Maybe instead of riding off your family's fame, you should try building your own legacy. But I guess that's hard when you're always living in someone else's shadow.
Delrico Maxwell (ML/ Novel Villian)
(taking a step closer) Shadow? You think you know what it's like? My father's a power player, and my uncle's a world-renowned doctor. You're just a kid who lost his way.
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
(raising an eyebrow) At least I'm not clinging to my legacy. I'm creating my own path, even if it means competing against you at every turn.
Delrico Maxwell (ML/ Novel Villian)
(smirking again) Competing? You mean trying to keep up. Let's be real, Hendrix-I'm better at everything. Sports, academics, you name it.
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
(scoffing) Keep telling yourself that, Delrico. Let's see how well you do when it counts. And by the way, how's that crush on Hestia working out for you?
Delrico Maxwell (ML/ Novel Villian)
(Defensive) What do you know about that? It's none of your business.
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
(smirking) It is when she's my best friend. And she's not interested in you, you know. She's moving on with Rowan-someone who actually treats her right.
Delrico Maxwell (ML/ Novel Villian)
(clenching his fist) You think that'll stop me? I'll prove that I deserve her. Just because you're upset that your best friend isn't swooning over you doesn't mean 1 won't fight for her.
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
(Taking a step back, smirking) Fight all you want. No one wants to be caught up in your family drama. She's better off without your games and drama.
Delrico Maxwell (ML/ Novel Villian)
THIS ISN'T A GAME FOR ME ! I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT HER! (raised his voice)
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
Oh, really? Care or possess? You need to figure out the difference before you make a fool of yourself... again.(mocking)
Delrico Maxwell (ML/ Novel Villian)
(seething) Enjoy your moment in the spotlight while it lasts, Hendrix. It won't be long before I take it back.
Hendrix Paxton (Novel ML)
Good luck with that, Delrico. Remember, rivals may come and go, but I'll always be here-right in your way.(smirking)
(The tension lingers as Hestia and Rowan walk by, subtly eyeing the boys. The rivalry ignites once again as they both powerfully resolve to prove themselves.)
