A/N: I haven't updated this, or my other story, in forever. I actually have a reason though: I decided that instead of writing about a chapter in 3 months, I was going to get a chunk of it done in the summer and update regularly. I don't believe in sneak peeks (yet...) so I've just put the next chapter up.
Recap: Angel is mad at Max, meets Nick, etc.
~Angel POV~
Shoot! I can't believe I just told a random stranger my name. Max is going to kill me when she finds out. If she finds out...
"Are you okay?" Nick asked.
"I'm fine," I reassured him, not wanting him to get suspicious.
He straightened out, as if he was struck with an idea.
Excitedly, he proclaimed, "Why don't you try out for the after school rack team? It's for anybody who wants to run, and you run really fast."
Hmm… why not? It would give me a chance to get under Max's skin, but she wouldn't be able to refuse an afterschool group activity.
"Sure!" I said, "Where do I sign up?"
After Nick gave me the details, we headed our separate ways.
I stepped into our huge Arizona house, located in a remote part of the woods. Nudge and Iggy lived in one wing, Max and Fang in another wing, and Gazzy and I occupied the last. I couldn't think of whom to go to for help, as I was beginning to have doubts about the track team. Nudge and Iggy were busy with their two kids, Max would make me forget about it, Fang would go to Max, and Gazzy wasn't the ideal person to go to for help.
The name hit my head like a barrel of bricks. Ella! Rushing to the phone, I called her.
"Hello?"
"Hi Ella, I'm coming over."
"Okay!"
With that, I was gone.
Max had moved conveniently close to the Martinez' household and it was only a 5 minute flight away. I quickly grabbed my bag and left the house.
A/N Thanks to Fangxxmylove for their review! By the way, I'll try to lengthen the future chapters.
