POV Max
I stared over at Fang. He was just as shocked as I was. Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge were bouncing off the walls. Iggy was scratching his head.
"We're going on vacation?" I asked, dumbfounded. Jeb nodded. Mom smiled.
"To Disney World?" Iggy confirmed. Jeb nodded again. Oops.
"Yes," Jeb replied, realizing his mistake.
"Yay! Max we get to go back!" Angel said, hugging my legs. I was seriously confused. Jeb even bought plane tickets. Without telling me. He was stepping into my role as leader! That son of…
"Now now Max. It's just one tiny vacation," Jeb teased. I smirked. Jackass.
"Max!" Angel gasped, reading my thoughts. Oops.
"Sorry Ange," I apologized, ruffling her hair.
"So, when's the flight?" I asked Jeb calmly.
"You mean you're going along with it?" Fang asked me. I nodded.
"Four hours. Start packing!" Jeb instructed with a smile.
First class was comfy. Where did Jeb get all this money? Oh well. I'll just enjoy it!
"I can't believe you're going along with this," Fang muttered, his seat next to mine.
"Loosen up, Fang," I told him, smiling. He rolled his eyes and checked his blog. Angel's head popped up behind her seat.
"This is like last time!" she smiled, "Except everyone's here!" I smiled weakly.
"Not everyone," I said. Angel frowned.
"Oh yeah. Sorry Max," Angel apologized. Fang looked over at me.
"It's okay," I told her reassuringly. Angel pouted and popped down into her seat. I kicked back and sighed. Stupid Itex. Stupid whitecoats. Why didn't they kill their own brothers instead of mine? I'm so glad I destroyed them.
"You okay?" Fang asked. I nodded.
"What hotel are we staying at Jeb?" Gazzy asked as we drove in a big rented van fitted for nine.
"The Boardwalk Inn," Jeb said from the driver's seat.
"No way! That hotel is like, so nice! It has three pools! And it's near the boardwalk! The boardwalk has all kinds of shops and restaurants and," Nudge started to babble.
"Nudge, we get the point," Iggy complained. Nudge shut up. Jeb parked the van in a giant parking lot and we all hauled the luggage up the hotel.
When we walked in, I felt so out of place. I think we all did. The lobby was big and fancy, like it was from the turn of the century. It had chandeliers and the bellhops were wearing outfits from the same time. And we were all wearing loose athletic shorts and tee-shirts. Geez.
"You should see this place, Iggy," Gazzy said in awe. Iggy huffed.
"I should see everything," he complained. I patted his shoulder. Jeb showed us eight room keys.
"Each room has two queens and a couch. We have two rooms. I'll take a couch, so everyone pair up," Jeb instructed. Angel grabbed Nudge's hand. Ella hugged Mom's waist. Gazzy and Iggy high-fived automatically. Which left…
Fang and I looked at each other.
"I'll take the other couch," I offered.
"Max, just take the bed," Jeb told me. My eye twitched.
"I'm sharing a bed with Fang," I replied. Jeb sighed.
"It's not like you'll have to touch," Jeb told me. I sighed.
"Fine," I mumbled. So I got stuck in the same room as Fang, Jeb, Iggy, and Gazzy. Great.
"We should head down to the pool!" Angel suggested.
"Uh, I don't know, Ange," I told her.
"It's almost nine. No one will be there," she assured me.
"Okay, let's all head down to the pool," I smiled at her. She grinned right back.
"You're too easy," Fang told me. I shot him the death glare.
