Hey, everyone! I hope you like this. It's been done a lot, but every story is different and I'm going to put my own spin on it. Please review! The first 3 reviewers will be featured in a scene in the story.

It was the first day of my freshman year. I walked through the doors of Seaview High school with my best friends by my side.

Nudge, our mocha skinned talk-aholic was going on and on about how excited she was to start school. Tall and pale Iggy, (A/N iggy can see) was sharing his ipod with my tall dark haired friend, Scarlet. Tiny, little Julie was listening to Nudge and muscular Sam was bouncing along beside her. Fang was walking next to me. Now, Fang is my very best friend out of everyone. I've known him since we were two. He's tall, dark, and incredibly handsome.

Ok, scratch that whole 'incredibly handsome' part. He's just a friend.

And then there's me. Tall, dirty blonde, brown eyes; Max in a nutshell.

We'd already compared schedules. I had 1st hour history with Fang and Scarlet. I grinned remember that I had every class with Fang.

"Let's roll guys," I said to Fang and Scarlet.

We walked into the classroom and grabbed seats in the back.

"Ewww," said Scarlet, "Lisa is in this class"

I groaned. If you haven't caught on yet, Lisa is not my favorite person.
So I was surprised when she walked over to us, swinging her long red hair behind her back.

"Max." she said snidely, "We meet again."

Ok, I couldn't help but crack up at that. I mean seriously? 'We meet again.' How cliché is that?

"Oh wow Lisa," I said trying to subdue my laughter, "Is that the best you can come up with?"

She scowled and shot me the bird. Then she put on an innocent expression and turned to Fang.

Oh no.

She's been a borderline stalker towards Fang since 7nth grade. He was extremely creeped out by her and for good reason.

She opened her mouth, but just then the teacher, Mr. Leidich, walked in.
Being the complete suck-up that she is, she sauntered back to her seat before he could even tell the class to quiet down.

Mr. Leidich began a long, supremely boring speech about this class. I was saved from my boredom when Scarlet passed me a note.

Poor Fang, Lisa is NEVER gonna give up on him.

I scowled and wrote back:

If she tries anything with him, I'll deck her.

She smirked and wrote:

Oooh, someone's jealous…

My eyes widened. I responded with:

Am not! He's my best friend. That's all.

She glanced down, rolled her eyes and wrote:

You are so in denial.

I frowned and was about to write back when Fang reached over and snatched the paper off of my desk. Uh-oh. I felt my cheeks heat up.

He read the notes and threw it back to me. I snuck a look at him. He was innocently looking at the board but his eyebrows were raised and a smirked played on his lips. He caught me looking at him and his smirk widened. I gave him my best death glare but he just chuckled and looked away.

I scowled. Scarlet was totally wrong. I only cared about Fang as a best friend…..right?

Fang POV

Max and I waved goodbye to Scarlet and headed to to Math with Julie and Sam.
Ugh. Sam. For some reason he got on my nerves. Even now as we waited for class to start, he was flirting with Max. He'd always had a thing for her. I felt my jaw tighten. For some reason, I had the strongest urge to grab Max and punch Sam square in his smug little face. Weird.

But I knew he couldn't help himself. Max was gorgeous.
No, I told myself firmly, do not think of Max that way. She was just my best friend. Nothing more.

The next few classes flew by and soon it was time for lunch. The seven of us grabbed a table in the cafeteria. I tried not to let it bother me that Sam was pressed up against Max. But the guy just irked me.

The rest of the week passed by quickly. Then, it was time for the annual Friday night sleepover at Max's house. The seven of us did this every Friday. Although I would never say so, I loved these.

We were all gathered in Max's living room, deciding what movie to watch.

"Dawn of the Dead," said Max, firmly.

"Noo, lets watch The Haunting in Connecticut." said Julie excitedly.

"Yeah!" said Scarlet.

In the end, everyone agreed to The Haunting in Connecticut.

Max POV

I, Maximum Ride, am not a scaredy cat. I just..get startled easily. And this movie was creepy. So it was totally not my fault when I launched myself into Fang's lap.

He chuckled and said teasingly, "Too scary for you?"

I scowled and said, "No. I was just startled."

He smirked and for some reason that even I can't identify, he didn't push me off. Instead, he put his arms around me. And for another reason that I most definitely cannot explain, I stayed in his lap until the movie was over.
