POV Max

After unpacking, we all changed into are bathing suits and headed down to the biggest pool. I wasn't really going to get in the water, but I decided I should come.

Gazzy ran and did a cannonball. Iggy carefully stepped in. Angel, Nudge, and Ella held hands and jumped in together. Jeb smiled and slipped in. Mom sat in a lawn chair and read a novel.

"Come on Max!" Gazzy called. I shook my head.

"No thanks. I'm going to stay dry," I told them with a smile, standing over them on the deck. Just then, I felt a push on my back and fell in.

"FANG!" I yelled.

"Calm down Max. You don't want to boil the water," Fang teased with a smirk. Suddenly, Fang lost his balance and fell in the pool has well. Mom winked from behind him.

"Don't mess with my kids," she told me. I gave her a thumbs up. I swam over to the recovering Fang and dunked him.

"Oh yeah?" he said. Then he dunked me. Then everyone got into a giant splash fight, boys vs. girls. Jeb helped the guys, but he wasn't really good.

We ended in a draw and we all dried off and covered our backs and headed into the hotel.

"Dibs on the bathroom," I called, opening mine and the guys' room. After changing into some pajamas bottoms and a tank top, I headed back into the room. Fang was listening to something.

I plopped down next to him on the bed and pointed at my ear.

"Blink 182," he told me. I nodded.

"What song?" I asked. He looked away.

"A song," Fang muttered.

"What song?" I asked a little bit louder. Fang rolled his eyes. I grabbed the headphones and slipped them on.

'First Date'. I looked over at Fang. He was looking away. I fell over laughing.

"Thinking about someone in particular?" I asked, throwing the headphones at him.

"Maybe," Fang said, slipping the headphones on again.

"Bet it's that whore in Virginia," I guessed, turning on the TV. Fang pursed his lips and looked at me out of the corner of his eyes.

"I know who it is!" Iggy interrupted, popping up next to the bed. Fang wrestled him to the ground.

"Shut up," Fang hissed. Iggy smiled. I looked over at Gazzy.

"I unno," Gazzy told me. I shrugged and went back to the TV. Jeb walked out of the bathroom.

"Can't you kids go ten minutes without fighting one another?" Jeb sighed.

"Weren't you paying attention when we saved the world?" I asked Jeb, amused. He smiled weakly. Fang finally got off if Iggy.

"Don't even think about it," Fang warned. Iggy and shrugged and flopped down perfectly on his bed. Fang slipped under the covers of our bed and shut his eyes.

"Night," he mumbled. I rolled my eyes.

"So whos' this girl?" I whispered to Iggy.

"Max…" Fang warned.

"Fine, fine," I agreed. I pouted for a moment, then looked over at Fang. Looked like he was sleeping.

"So who is it?" I whispered again.

"MAX," Fang warned again.
