Max POV
I woke up it was 6:00am another day in a run down place I was forced to call a house. My brother Iggy was already awake. Now something particular to know about Iggy is that he's completely blind yet could walk around like he could see. Most times it was easy to forget he was blind.
"Well Maxie finally woke up I thought I was going to have to pour water on you again"
The memory appeared in my mind and I shuttered "Ever do that again and I'll kill you"
Iggy threw a rag at me with scary accuracy "Challenge accepted Maxiepie"
By the time he finished I was walking out of the room and began to get ready for school. "Yeah yeah and don't call me that!" I yelled at him.
Once me and Iggy were ready we drove to school. We usually joked around and made fun of all the populars but today was different there was a sinister scilenc in the air.
"I'm going out of town again. Ari wants me to do another job for him."
Ari is Iggy's "boss". Ari is this big shot wannabe drug dealer. Iggy was his main man cuz he could get the job done better than anyone else.
"No no no no! you promised we were going to have out sibling day like the good old days."
"Max you and I know there was never 'good old days' okay?!"
"I don't want you to go." I said sadly
"Well how else am I supposed to get food on the table!"
"Ig it's called a job ya know."
"Yeah cuz there's a job field made especially for blind hoodrats!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. I swear the people in the next car heard us.
"We can talk later okay. Here's some money for lunch." He handed me a few bills which was accurate for me since I could eat an entire cow and still ask for dessert.
"Thanks" I said quiely and took the money and put it in my bra. {what don't judge that's what bras are for they provide extra pockets}
By this time we had reached the school we had just been sitting in the car since we were so early.
"See you after school" he said as he got out of the car.
School droned on and on and on until I saw him. We were friends since we were in dippers. Well at least until he discovered we came from different sides of the track. Tragedy of life I suppose.
Before I knew it my locker was slammed shut making me jump. "What's up hoodrat?" It was him how did he get near me so fast?
"Fuck off Fang before your I rip your head off and not the one on your shoulders."
This got him it got any guy to shut up. I smirked as he blushed in anger.
At lunch time I sat on the bleachers outside with my friends Nudge, Angel, Gazzy,(the twins) and of course Iggy. As usual Nudge was talking our ears off while Gazzy tried to blow us up or make us pass out.
"So Max we saw Fang at your locker today." Nudge said with a smirk
"What did HE want?" Angel said which was a shock since she observes more than she talks.
Everyone was looking at me which was uncomfortable.
"Nothing as usual just trying to look tough around the populars"
"Why? He was one of us until his 'daddy' hit it big." Iggy said
"No I mean like 5th period he was hanging around you locker waiting for you." Nudge said.
" Nudge for once we want you to speak more!" Gazzy said getting into the conversation
Fangs POV
I had wanted to confront/apologize to Max about what had happened in the morning. I waited by her locker but she never showed. Then I remembered us we used to be best friends. Why had we weren't friends anymore you ask? Well that's a different story. Right now I was in a tree [yes a tree] listening to them talk about me
"Nudge for once we want you to speak more." Uh Gazzy? Yelled at the top of his lungs. The group simotaniously shushed him as Nudge began to speak.
"Ok well word around is he was going to tell you off for the incident in the morning. Omg if that happened Max would have totally kicked his ass and that's why he didn't wait to long. But I think it because he was either going to apologize or just talk since Angel told me he had like an anxious look on his face. Oh btw he's in the tree right now listening to all this." Nudge said without looking up. Shit I'm dead.
"Yo dipshit get your ass down here now!" Iggy yelled in my direction. Great I'm going to get my ass kicked by a blind guy oh joy.
"What?" I said walking up to them.
"What are you doing around my little sister?"
"Showing her her place around here" I responded
"Oh yeah where would that be?" Iggy gave me the same death glare Max gave me in the morning.
"With you hoodrats of course"
"We'll let me show you your place" before I could respond he punched me in the square in the jaw. The twins ran inside as soon as they saw the punch and Nudge screamed. Max on the other hand ate her lunch in silence as if a fight wasn't going on in front of her. I held my jaw and contemplated if I should fighting Iggy or not. That question was quickly answered when he punched me in the nose. Dam how did he do that?!
I quickly grabbed him and flipped him over my shoulder and kicked him in the gut. Then out of no where Max kicks my back sending me face first to the grass. I grab her ankle and twist it as hard as I can. All of a sudden I felt a pain in my head as everything went dark.
I woke up a while later in the nurses office. What the hell?
The nurse came over and told me to go to the principles office. Then I saw Max. With the ankle I twisted elivated and in a cast I think.
"Is she ok?" I ask the nurse
"Not exactly considering you broke Miss Rides' ankle"
I simply looked down "sorry"
