New story! . I'm not so sure about somewhat normal but those of you who still want it to keep going please review on that. Fly on!
Max POV
I bolted out the door. Oh crap oh crap I'm gonna be late for the third time this week if I don't hurry up! "Bye mom!" I said quickly already being down the sidewalk. It was a five minute walk from my house to the school. but you see... when I run... eh its about 2 minutes. I have always been known as the clumsy one at school and at home. I finally made it to the school but I was ticked that it was already 7:55! "Come on Max hurry your but up..." I mumbled to myself irritated.
I ran to my locker got my binder and shoved my bookbag in my locker without giving a crap. I slammed my locker shut so loud people stared at me. I rolled my eyes and burst through the door, but right when I got there I tripped and fell and ran into Dylan. No! crap! "Oh.. umm, sorry Dylan..." I mumbled and blushed. Seriously Max?! Way to go.. Everyone was laughing at me but I seriously couldn't care less. "Smooth Max... Smooth." Said my best friend Nudge.
I gave her a playful shove and glared at her. Suddenly I felt like someone was watching me. I whirled around to see a boy wearing all black staring at me from behind. "Alright class calm down" Said Miss Rose. We all turned around to face her, I still felt the boy watching me... it was REALLY creeping me out.
"We have a new student attending our class today" Miss Rose said gesturing the new kid to come to the front. He walked up without making a sound. I heard some girls sigh as he walked by, but he just kept walking with an expressionless face. He glanced at Lissa though. Of course... He has the Lissa spell on him already... great just freaking great!
"Class, this is Ni-" She was interrupted by Lissa of course. "Oh Miss Rose!" Lissa said sweetly standing up. Miss Rose sighed. "Yes Lissa?" she said irritated. "Can I show the new boy around the school after lunch?" Lissa said twirling her hair. "Thank you for volunteering Lissa!" Miss Rose said "Of course you can!" Lissa gave a quick smile and sat back down.
"As I was saying... Class, this is Nick Miller." She said kindly. Nick nodded saying hello. "I prefer Fang." He said in a hushed voice. That just made this girls go CRAZY.
Miss Rose looked taken aback by the name. "Oh. Alrighty then uhh Fang.." She said unsure by that name. Fang walked back to his seat and glanced at both me and Lissa. Lissa glared at me and mouth 'He's MINE. stay away from him bitch' I glared right back at her and just sat in my seat quietly.
"Ok. So Max!" Nudge started, " I'm having a pool party for my birthday and your coming so we are going shopping after school today!" I protested "NO! You know I hate shopping Nudge!" I whined
"Too bad we're going shopping wether you like it or not!" She said. I started to protest but she held up a hand and continued. "No exceptions! I'm dragging you into my car if I have to!" The bell rang and I went to my next class with Nudge.
I went to a school for talented people so my next class was Vocals with Mrs. Sage. "Ok, class we are going to need people to sing for the homecoming game!" Mrs. Sage began excitedly "But we are only going to audition boys because we all know whose going to sing the other part!"
Mrs. Sage was talking about your truly! Apperently I was her best girl singer. Actually the best singer in the whole school she says. "Max!" she said excitedly looking at me.
The 'Popular' girls glared at me. Yea I mean 'Popular' because there the ones who wear 16 pounds of makeup and million dollar shoes. Of course everyone else cheered for me because they think that with me we'll win best act for homecoming.
I listened to all the boys sing. They all were super talented but only one could get the part. I was surprised when Fang came up and he was AMAZING. Dylan was amazing too!
"I cannot decide between Fang and Dylan!" cried Mrs. Sage "So... we'll have a singing competition!" she sang. "Fang you first, only sing the chorus to the song you'll sing." He walked to the front of the class and started singing.
Well they do not need to be told
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic, This drunken semaphore
And I-I-I-I
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time x2
I was called out in the dark
By a Choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
When he finished I was shocked on how good he was. That was one of my favorite songs by snow patrol. Mrs. Sage was crying for some reason. "I love the song Called Out in The dark!" Mrs. Sage said wiping tears. "Okay, Dylan, Your turn." he walked tot he front and started singing.
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone baby it's all wrong,
Where are the plan we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember the people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That your not here next to me
You say its to late to break it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted,
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You've turned off the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time
When we called it love
He finished his song and went to sit back down immidietly. I wasn't shocked he was good. I've heard that boy sing many many times. "Alright I have picked the winner!" Mrs. Sage sang. "Michael, drum role. And the winner is... FANG!" She said happily clapping her hands. Just then the bell rang. People clapped fang on the back saying good job.
I was walking to my locker when Fang appeared next to me. "Hey..." He started. "Max" I said giving him the answer. "Right, well your blocking my locker." He said and smirked I moved my locker slowly. I snatched my cooking folder and shoved my locker closed.
"You have cooking next?" He asked me still expressionless. I really hate it when I can't read people's emotions. Yea... I know it sounds creepy but I have like incredible senses. "Yea." I said quickly. "Me too, can you show my there?" He asked. "Yea, sure whatever." I replied not knowing how to react.
We got to the cooking room and I walked to my table with Nudge and Iggy. There was an extra seat that nobody sat in.
"What's up Max!" said Iggy coolly. He was blind but he was the best cook this school has ever had. He was even better the our teach Mr. Fransis. "Hey Ig." I replied tiredly "This is Fang, Fang this is Iggy and Nudge." Fang nodded saying hello to them. Nudge waved excitedly. "Hi Fang." Iggy said almost looking at him in the eyes but looking at his left ear.
We cooked Pastries today in cooking which is pretty boring so I promise I wont bore you with it! When the bell rang for lunch we all walked out together. Iggy had asked Fang is he wanted to sit with them at lunch.
We all sat at the lunch table and Fang introduced himself to everyone. Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Indie, Annabella, and me sat at the table. Now Fang was part of our little group. Iggy was tall and pale with strawberry blonde hair and super bright blue eyes, Nudge had coffee colored skin, chocolaty eyes, and dark curly hair, Gazzy had spiky blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes, Indie had dark skin with straight black hair, Annabella had light brown hair with dark blue eyes and tan skin. I had tan skin light brown hair with blonde streaks and chocolaty eyes.
"So Fang, what your talent?" Indie asked. "Mine is Dance, Gazzy's is Guitar, Nudge's is fashion, Iggy's is cooking, Annabella's is art, and Max's is Singing. She's the best singer in the school ya know!" She said excitedly. "Indie, that's an opinion, the real fact is that I'm okay but definitely not the best in the school!" I protested. "Okay whatever" Indie said.
"I'm here for art and singing." Fang said coolly. "ZOMG!" Nudge screeched looking at her phone. "Max! Look at this!"
I glanced at her phone and it was me singing Starships at the park! I snatched the phone from her. "WHAT THE HELL?!" I practically yelled. A couple kids looked at me but I paid no attention. When it ended I looked at who posted it and when. Yep your guessed it... Lissa. This was posted this morning! I glared at Lissa from across the lunchroom. She saw me and smirked and flipped her hair.
I shoved the phone back into Nudges hand and stomped out of the cafeteria. I sat by my locker doodling in my notebook. I saw a pair of feet next to me. I knew right away it was Fang.
"Can I help you?" I asked irritated. I looked up at him and he shoved his hands in his pockets. "I just came to see if your okay." He said smirking. "I'm fine I don't need a babysitter." I looked back down at my notebook and continued doodling.
He sat next to me. I pretended not to look at him but my heart kept beating faster and faster.
"What are you drawing?" Fang asked casually. "Just doodling." I replied not giving him a glance. The bell rang and it was time for class.
I jumped up from where I was sitting and opened my locker. Fang looked shocked and just looked up at me. He stood up too. "What's your next class?" He asked. "Art, Yours?" "Same"
We walked down to class and I fell into my seat rubbing my temples. Fang took the seat next to me and sat there casually. The silence between me and Fang are... comfortable. When its quiet I usually feel awkward.
Mr. Jones walked it and was surprised we were here early. "Good afternoon Max" He said nodding. "Whose your friend?" I looked around but then knew he meant Fang. "Oh, this is Fang."
Mr. Jones walked over to me and Fang and shook his hand. "Hello, Fang I'm Mr. Jones." Fang nodded in reply and when back to drawing in his notebook. Mr. Jones glanced over at what he was drawing. "That's quite a drawing." He said admiring it. "Thanks." Fang replied quickly. I looked over at it and it was a picture of Gazzy holding a guitar, Iggy with a chef's hat holding a spatula, Nudge holding up a glittery dress with a thinking expression, Indie posing, Annabella with an art hat and a paintbrush, Me with a microphone to my mouth singing, and him with a pencil in his ear and a microphone held up to his mouth.
The rest started piling in. Fang quickly closed his book and shoved it in his bag. "Okay class, today we are learning how to draw people." Mr. Jones said. For the rest of the class most people learned to draw people the others who already knew how sat around drawing people.
When the bell rang I headed to my next classes. And I had ALL my classes with Fang... Which I don't know if it was a bad thing or a good thing.
When school was over I grabbed my things and tried to sneak home. But right when I was about to cross the street. A pair of string arms grabbed my and slung me over there shoulder. "Agh! IGGY!" I screamed and smiled. "Thanks Ig!" Nudge replied and gave him 10 bucks. "You sold me for ten bucks Ig?! I'm so much more worth than that!" I said sarcasim dripping in my voice. "Your right, Nudge I need 50 bucks!" He said playing along. We all laughed and jumped into the car.
"Iggy you want me to drop you off or you want to come with us to the mall?" Nudge asked eyeing the road. "Drop me off!" He said "I can't be seen at a mall with two girls!" I dropped my jaw playfully and smacked him. "Sitting right here Iggy!" I said. He sat there cackling his head off.
"Drop me off at the Gazzer's place." Iggy said. We pulled into Gazzy's driveway and Iggy jumped out of the car and burst into his best friends house. We could here Iggy saying 'Honey I'm home' in a deep voice. Nudge and I glanced at each other and laughed.
I climbed into the front seat where Iggy was sitting. "Let's go to my house and grab Ella!" I said cheerfully "Okay then we're going to meet Indie and Annabella at the mall." Nudge replied.
We arrived at my house and ran into the house. We walked into the kitchen and found my mom and my half sister sitting at the island eating cookies. Me and Nudge both grabbed some. "Hey Dr. M" Nudge said with food in her mouth. "Hello Nudge." she replied cheerfully. "Hey, mom, we're going to the mall to get stuff for Nudges pool party." I told my mom. "Okay, take Ella with you." She said knowingly "That's what we came for!" I said with a hint of duh in my voice.
We threw our school stuff in my room and headed for the car. My sister Ella was in the same grade as me but we went to different schools. I was in a talented school and she went to a public school.
When we got to the mall we met Indie and Annabella there. And two other boys we didn't know.
