Max P.O.V.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The red numbers on the digital clock beside my bed glowed against my face. I groaned loudly and while I rubbed my eyes I turned my head sideways. The clock read 9:30 am. My mind was processing this far too slowly, until I finally realised.
Oh shit.
Our plane to Hawaii was leaving soon!
I jumped out of bed and sprinted down the hallway, knocking on each door, loud enough to wake the others. At the end of the hallway I jumped, causing my messed up dirty blonde hair to fall all over my face -Fang was already there, casually leaning against the bathroom door and smirking.
"You decided to wake up?" he grinned.
"I thought I'd set the alarm earlier..." I replied, angry at myself for coming home so late last night and forgetting about changing the time. A piece of Fang's lustrous dark hair fell over his obsidian eyes. He cleared his throat and said:
"I already woke the rest up, and they're downstairs eating breakfast,"
I stopped. "And no one thought of waking me up?"
''No one is ever able to wake you up, Max," Fang replied, yet he was in a bit of a daze for some reason.
I frowned but immediately smiled and turned away to go downstairs. I heard the radio coming from the kitchen and a mouth-watering aroma of pancakes filled my nostrils, making my stomach growl with hunger. I raced down and I noticed that the others had already placed their luggage and things by the door.
I turned towards the kitchen and saw Iggy at the stove, his strawberry blonde head facing down and concentrating on the cooking. He had his usual hot pink apron on, accompanied by his unnecessary crimson lobster gloves. He had his back to a group of wild looking children gathered round the table, eagerly digging into their breakfast. However, one of the children had an empty plate in front of him, and he had a smug look on his face, watching the slow reactions of his fellow peers.
"GAZZY!" Nudge shrieked, making me jump.
Gradually a foul smell reached my nose, making me lose my appetite. Everyone pinched their noses and began hurriedly waving their hands back and forth, attempting to lose the horrid scent of something that shouldn't be said nor written down. Even Fang, who somehow sneaked up behind me coughed and backed away.
After a few minutes everything seemed to be back to normal. I clapped my hands and stated loudly;
"Alright folks! We've got less than an hour to get on to our flight! Has everyone packed?" A group of heads nodded and murmured yes.
"Well, all that's left is the head count and we're off," I quickly counted and smiled as I noticed Fang doing the same. One head was missing though, and my smile faded. We stared at each other, our eyebrows furrowed together confused.
"Angel!"
Fang P.O.V.
When I crept into her room this morning to wake her up I was greeted by her loud, obnoxious yet cute snoring. Wait-did I just say cute? What the hell? I shook the thoughts away and stared at her, noticing her tangled hair and perfect round face. The sun shone through the window nearby which made her features shine, showing the light freckles that sprayed across her cheeks and her full, pink opened lips.
Whoa there Fang- what's going on? Why am I noticing these things? She's just a girl that you've grown up with your whole life! So what? And anyways, it would be weird to have feelings for her, what if she didn't like you back?
FANG!
This was getting out of control. I turned around and headed towards the door. I decided to wake the others up for a fresh start and leave her for a while.
I walked up to Iggy and Gazzy's room, where the two lay sprawled in various directions. I chuckled and bent down before shaking the two sleepyheads awake.
"Wake up, lads. We're going to Hawaii today!"
"...but...my bombs...off...no..." Iggy muttered in his restless sleep.
"WAKE UP!" I shouted, causing the two startle and roll of their beds with a sore thud.
"Ow...oh God Fang what was that for?" Gazzy groaned as he rubbed his blonde head.
I smirked and turned away. "Get up guys, we're leaving in a few," I replied.
"I'll make pancakes..." Iggy sighed.
I closed their door and walked across to the girls' room. Cautiously I opened the door-I didn't want another bash on the head from Nudge like last time. All I wanted to do was check if they were ready, and Nudge just happened to be changing into another one of her fantabulous outfits at the same time I opened the door. Thus, resulting in a large bump on my forehead from a thrown shoe. Since then, I've always stayed clear from that door. But today was an important day that we couldn't miss. Not even getting hit by a shoe would stop me today!
"Um...good morning girls..." I carefully said as I walked in. Luckily, Nudge and Angel were still in bed, still asleep. I shook the two of them and pushed the hair from their eyes.
"Cmon guys, Iggy's going to make pancakes..." I added coaxingly. Nudge's eyes flew open.
"PANCAKES!" she shrieked, throwing her light pink covers away which unfortunately landed on Angel's confused face.
"Oh no..." Angel said. I pulled the covers off of her and picked her up in the bridal position. She giggled and smiled at me. A little 'oof' escaped from me when I realised how big she'd gotten.
"Someone's getting bigger, aren't they?" I said. Angel just laughed again and showed her pearly white baby teeth and jumped off.
"We'll be down soon," she said, her blonde curls bouncing around her face.
"Okay,"
When everyone had sat down to eat I ran back upstairs to see if Max had woken up yet. Her alarm read 8:58am. I casually strolled down to the bathroom door at the end of the hall, smiling to myself as I thought of what her reaction would be like. Suddenly I heard the loud beeping of the alarm, which was seconds before the booming steps of realisation came thundering down the hallway. I grinned as I saw her alarmed face as she ran down the hall, knocking on the white wooden doors as if to wake up the rooms rather than the kids who were already downstairs.
I smiled. "You decided to wake up?" I noticed her hair fall over her face.
"I thought I'd set the alarm earlier..." she answered, but I could tell she was angry at herself. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, and coughed slightly, deciding to change the subject. I told her about the kids and everything but I wasn't listening after that. I was watching her facial expressions, her eyes, cheeks...
When she went downstairs, her nose high up in the air, I followed her down. Just when she was at the doorway to the kitchen, she stopped. I was tempted to sneak up and grab her waist- wait, what? Her waIST? FANG WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU THIS MORNING?!
ANYWAYS- But I was interrupted when a nasty smell began to float into the air and into my nose. I shuddered and backed away. Gazzy...! Eventually when things got normal again, Max clapped her hands and asked us if everything was packed and ready. We all nodded and I did a head count with Max. One head was missing though.
"Angel!"
