Max Pov

I flew beside Fang. His eyes bore through me. Why did he have to be so handsome? Why did I have to be so dumb?
He laughed, "Your eyes are glazed over. Either you are thinkin of something or you are talking to the Voice again." I gazed down at the water. He bumped me with his wing, "Are you even listening, Max"
"Yeah, I'm listening," I said while looking behind us. Nudge was blabbing Iggy and Gazzy's ears off And Angel was talking to Total.
"If you were listening answer my question," he said. Crap, how could I avoid this. I shifted nervously. I had to think quickly about what to say. I quickly sputtered, " I was just thinking about what we are going to do next." My problem was solved for now. Then to my chagrin the Voice chimed in: Just admit it. Max, you love him.
With that I replied oh so nicely: Shut up, Jeb. Boy was I direct and to the point.
Angel giggled behind me. Hopefully she was laughing at something Total had said, but what can I say luck was diffenently not on my side today. Angel sent me her thoughts on the subject: Jeb is right, Max. I quickly shot Angel my if-you-ever-say-that-again-you-are-dead glare. She responded with an innocent laugh "So Fang, what should we do now?" I directed towards him. I had no idea on what to do. I mean the voice hadn't chimed in about any deadly occurences lately. We were all basically wandering aimlessly.
Fang raised his hands defensively, "Don't look at me. I'm out of ideas. Not that I had any in the first place"
Nudge whined behind us, "Max, I'm hungry," looks like our dilemma on what to do was solved for the moment.
"Ok guys we have a choice of either Burger King or McDonalds," I said looking downat what was now a highway exit.
Iggy replied, "Great choices. Hmm... I'm thinking Burger King"
"Oh no," said Nudge. She had a worried look on her face. "Last time we ate at Burger King I was up all night to the music of Gazzy's bodily functions." Gazzy laughed and almost did a full somersault in the air. (That's what happens when you go into fetal position and lean foward while flying.) "Ok then everyone let's put it to a vote," I said, "Fang"
"McDonalds." Ok, he could go with Gazzy. "Nudge"
"I'm with Fang. McDonalds sound good," she replied. Ok, so we had a small group going to Mickey-D's now.
"Ig-," I said but was cut off.
"I already answered"
"Ok, Angel what about you?" I said, already knowing her answer. I wait, here it came.
"Burger King," She replied with a smile. There was one reason and one reason alone for her to chose Burger King. Simple, they had Hello Kitty toys.
Total spoke up from Iggy's arms, "Wherever Angel goes, I go." As I had expected.
"Ok it's decided. Fang, you go with Nudge and Gazzy to McDonalds. I'll go with Iggy, Angel and Total to Burger King"
Gazzy had a scowl on his face, "How come I don't get to chose where I want to go"
Iggy laughed, "Sorry man. I guess you body chose for you"
We split up. Fang's group headed for McDonalds with a wad of cash we swipe from the ATM. While my group head towards Burger King. Credit card in tow.

We walked into Burger King. My combat boots stuck to the linoluem flooring. The resterant was pretty much desserted, except for a middle-aged couple who sat at a two some table. I have never seen Erasers that old,
but you never know. That would be an extreme curveball from the school. I looked around for various exits that could be used in case of an emergency (ie: Eraser Attack). I was about to head towards the counter , when I noticed a small glass door accompanied by many glass windows showcasing an indoor playground. I'm sure I was not the first to notice. I looked in front of me at Angel, who was eyeing the playset with enthusiasm.
I patted her shoulder, "Go ahead I'll order your food for you." After, I had finished the last word, Angel darted towards playground. Total trailed only a few feet behind, moving as fast as his small legs would allow. I tapped Iggy's shoulder to tell him that I was going to head up towards teh register. He beat me there. He must have been very hungry.
The pale, platinum blonde woman who was manning the counter looked down. Her visor hid her eyes, "May I take your order,sir?" she said in a monotype voice. Talk about hating a job, two words, Career Choice. Even though Iggy was most obviously blind, he looked in the general direction of the display. Who was he kidding?
He had already memorized every type of food they served. " Ok, I want 3 double cheeseburgers, 2 xtra large fries, a chocolate milkshake, and a large coke"
Surprisingly, the woman did not mention the amount of food, (or make snide remarks about how he was sure skinny to eat so much). She simply sighed," That will be 27.82"
He handed her my card which she quickly swiped through the register and motioned for Iggy to wait for his food at the end of the counter.
I eyed Angel through the concave plastic window. She waved at me with a wide smile. I simpled smiled back as I progressed towards the counter. The "enthusiatic" cashier asked me what I wanted to eat (in the same monotone voice I might add). I quickly told her the long list of various food items that Angel and I usually got. I had to bribe Angel and Total with a strawberry milkshake to come out of the playset and eat with Iggy and me. We chose a booth (the closest to the door). Angel quickly finished her food. Total and her ascended once more to the top of the playground, leaving Iggy and me alone in the booth.

"So, when does Fang plan on telling you?" Iggy said, while grabbing yet another french fry.

I was confused. "When is Fang going to tell me what?" I said, my eyebrow quirking upward.

"That he's in love with you," Iggy responded melodramitically. It was simply ironic that he could joke about a subject that sent my head spinning.

"What?!"

Oh Cliffy (sorta) I absolutely possitively promise the kiss in the next chapter. Thanks for Reading and Please review
