Hey it's The Angel of Charity here.
Blurb:
"Lights camera, ACTION!"
Going to a high school can be hard. Going to an acting school, is even harder. And going to a coeducation boarding school which is about acting, well unless it's for paparazzi and publicity, you better be prepared.
Max always wanted to go to an acting school, and she knew it would help her mother if she got a scholarship. She just didn't realise High school was a drama.
Fang gets forced to go for his sister. He didn't mind acting, but acting school, as in for prances and drama queens? No thanks. He was always more of an action sort of guy.
But with Fang's sister as Max's roommate the movies merge together a lot. And who can guess when a story will turn into a romance…

Max
*guitar strumming and calm music* I remember tears running down your face, when I said I'd never let you go. When all those shadows almost killed you light. I remember you said don't leave me alone. But all that's death and gone and passed tonight. Just close- "
My hand shot out like a zombies hitting the snooze button with precision mastered over 16 years of early morning practise. Not that I wanted to stop the song, I just don't think my sister would appreciate being woken up at 6:00. I grabbed my tank top and my shorts that ended just after the ¾ make of my thighs. After getting changed and clipping my I-Pod onto the end my t-shirt I galloped down the stair, a habit I had picked up recently.
Turning the door knob I braced myself for the darkness I knew I would see. I had another hour before the sun rose.
With my earphones plugged in I started to jog heading towards the park. The trees around me swayed as the wind rustled past leaving dandelions in its wake. My mind shifted to running mode, and everything else flew out of my mind. Music flowed through to my ear drums halting before flowing through. Right now I was happy. Right now I had nothing to worry about. Right now nothing could hurt me.
Before I knew it my feet were drifting towards the front door of our house. Sunlight crept up as I reached the door and the sky became a tainted pink. I stepped onto the front porch, taking out the key, I opened the door.
And there sat my mum on the coach as if she woke up this early every day. I felt the need to acknowledge her, but the sheer thought of my mum waking up early stopped me. She obviously was thinking about something important. I had only seen her wake up this early two years ago, when we left dad and she was preparing herself for her new life. I instantly stepped back because I knew she was thinking hard about something, why else would someone who works all night saving animals wake up so early?
I crept up the stairs, making sure I didn't disturb my mum. I went to my room and grabbed my uniform, other necessary clothes and my rubber bands. I turned towards my bathroom which was attached to my room. The white painted wooden door stood out from the blue walls of my room. And the golden handle didn't help, I realised, as I opened the door.
After I was ready and my hair was in a ponytail I walked down the stairs again. My sister was sitting on the stool near the breakfast table when I walked in. Putting my toast and the jam on my plate I took a moment to analyse the quietness of the room. My mum strode into the kitchen her steps as light as feathers.
"Max, I need to talk to you." said her croaky tired voice.
As I turned to face her I caught a glimpse of my sister thumbs up. Maybe I was in trouble? My mum gestured to the coach in the room. We walked there together almost in sync. Thoughts entered my mind at once, 'Why now, before school?' 'What was so important?' 'Was I in trouble?'
Her sigh broke the silence as we sat down, hearing only the sounds being produced by Ella's cutlery and plate.
"You got a scholarship Max. To Flight High, the best acting school in Arizona."
"I got a scholarship at an acting school? That's great!" When I remembered her sigh and the deep thoughts she was in this morning my excitement died down. "Wait, why are you so upset about this?"
Her eyes send me compassionate message as she said "Well Max, Flight High, is a co-ed boarding school."
Fang
You know when you are sleeping in the morning and then suddenly hear a high-pitched guy singing about who some girl rejected him and you just want crush that dude's neck. I mean, it's not like I don't have plenty of other reasons to kill the stupid duff, but waking up him is just freaking annoying .
"NUDGE!" I roared from my room over her shrieks of "ear rape".
"Sorry" was her reply back, as if that helped anything. What I had just heard, could not be un-heard.
Getting up I stormed into her room and shut her stupid alarm off. "Why do you even have Justin Bieber?"
"I don't it's on 'radio' mode, and apparently the radio things this is a good song to play in the morning. I thought they just talked in the morning. Anyway, I am really sorry, NEVER putting it on 'radio' again."
After that I went back to my room and slept again because my alarm hadn't gone off yet, and I would take all the sleep I could get.
I don't know if you have heard but apparently if you have a bad morning your whole day goes bad. And I had definitely had a bad morning, so how could me day go well?
"Fang I need to talk to you." my mum told me.
"Why now, I have to get ready for school." That response obviously wasn't the answer my mum wanted, but I couldn't help it. And you can't blame me either cause I did have a s*** morning.
"Just call Nudge and meet me in the living room"
"NUDGE!" I shouted up. I knew mum could have done that herself but I really couldn't be bothered to go up the stairs.
When Nudge came down Mum sat down and so did we.
"Nudge, you know how you wanted to go to Flight High?"
"Yeah" Nudge said dragging out the word. As people often do when they know what is coming but want to pretend they don't.
"Well, you're enrolled there for the coming year."
I interrupted Nudge's squealing. "Okay two questions. Why am I here? And why are you telling this right now, while we are supposed to go to school?"
"Well, Fang I am telling you this now because I just got the letter today and I need to reply confirming the enrolment by a week, and postage takes time."
"Okay you still haven't told me why I'm here."
"Fang, you didn't really think I'd let her go to a boarding school without someone to protect her did you? The reason you are here, is because I enrolled you too."
"WHAT?"
