Hello! This is the first story I've written in a while... my others were very cringy so I deleted them.
Max
Another Day, another migraine from Nudge's excessive chatter. My sisters, Nudge and Ella, and I, were currently sitting at the table with our Mom, Dr. Valencia Martinez. Nudge decided that the topic of this mornings rant would be the fact that it is her first day of her Freshman year. Ella and I both decided we had had enough, both being Juniors, since we were Fraternal Twins. She had our mothers Dark long hair and dark eyes. I had received our fathers Lighter hair and dull brown eyes. It was our first day of school and I was seriously dreading it. I've always really hated the first day. I love to learn but the idea of being forced to learn and being tested on your ability to retain information kinda takes the fun out of it.
"Pass the Syrup please Maxie" Ella called at me, mockingly. I shot her a glare and slid her the syrup and watching as she missed it and it knocked her syrup caked fork off the table onto the tile floor.
"Oops, Sorry Ells" I snickered. Ella scrunched her nose at me and cleaned the mess on the floor and took her dish to the kitchen and placed it in the overflowing sink. She slung her back over her shoulder and made her way to the door, nodding for us to follow and alerting us that it was time to leave.
Nudge and I followed her actions of placing the dishes in the sink and grabbing our bags. Nudge made her way to the bus stop while Ella and I jumped in my car, since I was the only one who actually saved her money for insurance on one. The car was a Blood Red Mustang, considering we were fairly wealthy because my father was a well-respected Doctor and my mother was a world redound veterinarian.
The drive was quite a lengthy one. Ella was currently chastising me for my appearance. A grey V-neck with a Fall Out Boy hoodie and some faded ripped jeans and a pair of old Chuck Taylor's. Ella, on the other hand, wore a pair of white skinny jeans and a teal blue tank top the read the word "Flawless, her usually straight hair was curled in beautiful ringlets and her makeup consisted of a thin eyeliner wing on each eye, light mascara, and a subtle pink lipstick. My hair was thrown in a messy bun and I wore no hint of makeup. Ella told me constantly that a little mascara would make my eyes pop, I still never took her up on the offer.
We pulled into the student parking lot, we must have been early because the spot was fairly close to the schools entrance. We made our way to the Entrance when we were stopped by Fang and Iggy, My best friends since Kindergarten. Iggy had strawberry Blonde hair and Caribbean blue eyes and Pale skin. Fang was the opposite of Iggy's light features, with His jet black hair that hung in his onyx eyes, and he had olive colored skin. They were both very attractive, bringing every girl in a mile radius to my locker. They all fawned over My Boys, yes, my boys, they're my best friends so I'm allowed to call them that. They couldn't have been less interested, shaking every girl off without even a sideways glance.
"So, Max" Iggy began, "Would you mind watching Angel again tonight? I know it's short notice but I have to work late and my mom's still away in New York. It'll only be Ange this week, Gaz is at his friends tonight." Ah yes, Angel and Gazzy, Iggy's younger Siblings, both with beautiful blue eyes and pale blonde hair. Angel was six and Gazzy was eight.`
"Sure Ig, I'll do it" I answered his question, then turning to poke Fang in the cheek.
He looked down at me, obviously I just shocked him out of some weird place he just spaced out of. The female population has since, mostly dissipated, gladly. the Bell rang, alerting students that they had exactly 5 minutes to get to their class rooms before they were counted tardy. I currently had 4 Tardys, 5 meant detention. If I got detention, I wouldn't be able to babysit Angel for Iggy tonight. I rushed to my first class, AP chemistry, so I wouldn't be late. The second I crossed the threshold of the door, the bell rang.
"I made It!" I whooped, causing a few students to snicker.
"Very good, Ms. Ride, Now please, go take your seat" I walked down the aisle of lab tables and sat down next to my lab partner, J.J. She obviously wasn't paying attention, to engulfed in some book. I tried to peek at what book it was, but unfortunately, I didn't catch even a slight glimpse.
-Lunch-
Ah, yes, Lunchtime. The most glorious part of school, because I get to eat. You see, my school has this strict 'no eating or drinking in class' rule, which leads to a very hungry, and cranky, Max. So this makes Lunch the best part of my school day. There were three lines today, salad bar, sandwich bar, or Cheeseburgers with fries and any can of soda of your choice. Obviously, me being the carnivore I am, I chose the Burger. The line was longer than all the other options, so It took me a little while to get back to our usual table. At our table sat Fang and Iggy, Nudge sat with some other Freshmen, Ella with some of her friends.
The boys were gnawing on their burgers like wild animals, which was to be expected, they almost never ate breakfast, Fang couldn't stand being with Anne, his aunt, that long. Iggy had to get up extra early and get Angel, Gazzy, and himself all out the door before 7, ever morning. This left no time for either of my boys to get breakfast. Both have also repeatedly turned down my suggestion of bringing them something to eat before class. Which annoyed me to no end
"Max!" Fang said, obviously he had been trying to get my attention for a bit, while I had been staring off into space.
"Oh, Uh Yeah?" I flushed, embarrassed that he'd been tryimg to get my attention and I was just staring off into space.
"I was asking you If I could come to Iggy's with you. I need to talk to you after Ange falls asleep." His voice had a hint of something, it was undectectable, his voice was almost... strained?
I just nodded, finishing off the last off my fries, when the lunch bell rang.
-at Iggy's-
"Angel hon, please calm down, it's time for bed" I pleaded as the six year old was practically running laps through the house. Her curly blonde hair was tied back in a loose braid, she was in a Princess night gown and was all ready for bed, except that she was practically bouncing off the walls. And I had no idea why.
She continued like this for a few minutes, till we heard a knock on the door. I peeked out the windows, noticing fang outside. He was almost shivering from the frigid air of September in Virginia. I opened the front door, feeling the rush of cold air enter the house; then I shut the door quickly after Fang entered the house.
"Fangy!" Angel screamed, jumping into his arms. Instantly he smiled at the young child, making something inside me feel weird. My Heart quickened a bit and my stomach felt as though it was tied in knots. what?
"Hey Ange, you're supposed to be in bed" He said, handing her off to me as I walked towards her room. She yawned and laid her head down on my shoulder. I smiled and laid her in her bed, pulling the blankets up to her chin and kissing her forehead. 'Night Ange", and just like that, she was out.\
"anyway, what did you need to talk to me about," I started, walking back into the living room and laying on the couch with my head on Fang's lap. He tensed slightly, a pink twinge in his cheeks.
"I.. Uh... Max? How can you tell a girl that you really like her...? that you have for a very long time?" He was stuttering and looking at his feet, apparantly his Chuck's were very intresting at the moment.
Then It hit. Fang likes a girl. He has for a while apparantly. I felt... Jealous? But.. Why?
Before I could even answer, I felt Fang's lips on Mine.
