Thanks for all the reviews! I was not expecting 21 for the first chapter, but I'm not complaining. XD

I have confirmed the story will be continued! I said this last chapter too, but there will be a twist at the end that's not in the Buzzfeed. I still don't recommend reading it, but if you can't stand it then don't worry, you won't be spoiling the entire story.

And to pepperpotz and anyone else wondering: the story will, unsurprisingly, be 17 chapters plus maybe an epilogue. The details will become clearer as the story progresses.


Of course, I couldn't get away from Fang. He lived right next door, and we walked to school together every day. I couldn't just ditch him.

"How's Angel been?" he asked me, looking over at me.

"Uh, um, she's been fine," I said, definitely not hyperventilating or anything. I just stuttered to, you know, give myself more time to give Fang a better answer. Yeah! That was it.

Is "she's been fine" the best answer you can think of? Shut up, conscience! I never asked for your input.

"That's good. I'll have to come over sometime soon. I haven't seen Angel in a while."

"Yeah."

"And maybe we can do something together sometime. We haven't done anything with just us lately besides walking to school," Fang said, oblivious to the tempest that was brewing in my brain. I knew he just considered it a friendly event…but he wanted to spend time alone with me? That was a start (if I ignored that we'd been best friends for 8 years and spent plenty of time together).

"Yeah! I mean, that'd be fun."

"Yeah. Cut the crap, Max, what's wrong?" he asked me, stopping.

"Nothing! I mean, yeah, nothing's wrong."

"You can tell me, whatever it is. I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Um, I got an F on a test. My parents are pissed at me," I lied, racking my brain for anything, anything that would shut Fang up long enough for me to think about something not named Fang.

Fang raised his eyebrows. "Since when did you care?"

"I want to, um, get into a good high school."

"There's only one local high school, and it's hard to not get in."

"Oh yeah! Well, I want to do well, um, to prepare myself for high school."

Fang shrugged. "I guess that's a good idea. It's kinda…interesting that you care, since you didn't study for a single minute on the test."

I didn't respond, not trusting myself to speak without messing up. Fang took my silence as a lack of interest in the conversation on my part, thankfully, and continued on his way to school. I trailed him, making sure to stay several feet away from him at all times. Disaster averted.


Now I need to talk to you some more to make sure.


I'll put the Buzzfeed quotes at the end now, so it doesn't give away what's going to happen. (:

Question of the Chapter: Do you want awkward teenage Fang or suave, 'player-like' Fang?

The chapters will be kinda short, sorry about that, and updates should come about once a week. I'm trying to balance this with my main story, A New Beginning, that gets updated with much longer chapters.

Please don't forget to review!
