Curse the Bambi Eyes.
Now I'm sure you're all wondering my newest reason for hating Bambi Eyes.
It's because they got me into school once again.
Frick my life.
Let's start with the world being saved. Go us. Yup, Itex is gone, all schools were shut down and the scientist involved with torturing children/screwing with their genes were sent to jail.
So, with the world being saved and no more guys chasing us, we decided to head to my mom's house. Since the kids don't have parents (or good ones) I told them they I'd share mine. They all call her 'mom' now and think of Ella as another sister.
The only one that can't grasp the 'call Dr. M mom' concept is Fang. He says it's just too weird.
Actually, Max, that's not the real reason. Cute little Angel chimed in my mind. What? You don't have a six-year-old mind reader? Oh, don't worry I have extra coupons.
Alright Angel, what's his reason? Even though I don't like you snooping in peoples minds without permission. I thought back to her.
Ok, sorry Max. Oh anyway, he doesn't want to call her mom because he thinks it'll make him think of you as just a sister, and he wants to me more then a sister with you.
Uhm, angel? I think you got your deets wrong. And I blocked my mind from her to keep this conversation from going any longer.
But back to my story.
So we were at my mom's house. I was in my room-haha 'my' room- when all of a sudden Mom, Angel, Nudge, Ella, and Gazzy were surrounding my bed.
I turned down my music. "Uhm…hi?"
They all had these evil glares on their faces and then without warning BAM!
All their faces showed the same expression that I despise oh so much. Bambi Eyes.
Shit. What do they want now?
"Max", my mom started. Hey, I didn't know she knew Bambi Eyes! "Please don't flip, but I have a really, really good idea. The kids really like it too. I've found…a school.. Now before you freak, it's a boarding school, and it's so safe, you have no idea."
"Why aren't Fang and Iggy in here begging too?" I asked.
"Well we told Iggy, he said he didn't want to be here when you exploded. We didn't tell Fang yet. We thought it would be better if you told him, or, it you didn't go for it, we were going to tell him so he would 'persuade' you to come." Ok. That was the longest sentence Nudge had ever said without going off topic or mentioning shopping.
"Ok well I'm going to go talk to him and see what he says." I walked out of my room and turned left down the hallway, not going to far since he has the room next door.
I knocked on the door and not even a second later the door opened.
"He-"I cut him off.
"Fly. Now." I had already passed him standing in the doorway and crossed the room to the window. I didn't even look to see if he was following, just threw open the window and jumped.
We flew together to an old, run-down park that rarely anyone goes to. We landed in the trees, tucked in our wings and hopped out. I walked over to a bench with Fang still following, and sat down. He sat next to me, maybe a little too close, but I wasn't complaining.
Wait.
"Ok. Mom got a brilliant idea again. They told everyone but you because they thought you could 'persuade' me if I didn't go along with it." He smirked.
"I can get you to do anything."
"No you can't! Anyway, they decided, since the world is saved, we should go to Boarding school. I told them I had to talk to you first."
"You see? I can get you to do anything. I told you." He had an almost smile on his face, but I could tell he was thinking.
"Whatever, I just thought you should have some say in it."
"How courteous of you. It's safe right?" I nodded. "Well then it's worth a hot, I guess." My head shot up to meet his eyes. I didn't realize he was looking at me this whole time.
"W-wh-what?" I stammered out.
He looked at me very intently, and then said very slowly, as if I had a mental problem, "If Dr. M thinks it's a good idea, let's give it a shot."
That reminded me of something I was going to ask him.
"Why wont you just call her 'mom'?" I was planning on testing what Angel had told me.
"I don't know…it feels…weird…" Sure, buddy. He turned his head the other way and focused all his attention on two birds that were sitting very close, like us, on a telephone wire.
"If your sure, I guess we could try." I said in a strained voice.
Fang turned his attention back to me and nodded. We headed back to the woods to take off.
Remind me again why Fang is my right-hand man?
