Thank you to the two of you who reviewed the last chapter

MAX POV

"Maximum Ride. Maximum Ride, please come to the office." Uggh. I slumped down against my locker. This day was just not getting any better. All thanks to Nudge and Ella.

*Flashback*

"Go talk to him Max."

"Yeah. This is your chance. He's all alone…" This bet was so stupid. Why did it have to be Fang Walker. It could have been any other guy at this school. But no.

Fang Walker was emo. He always wore nothing but black. He had silky black hair that fell over one obsidian eye, and he had perfect olive skin, and-wait. What am I saying?

Anyway. Fang was also probably the most popular guy in school. He had girls falling all over him. But he was also self-centered player.

And he had a girlfriend. Lissa.

Lissa was probably the most popular girl in school. She had really frizzy red hair, always wore way too much make-up, and never wore enough clothes. She was the school slut, and she was obsessed with Fang.

If you got anywhere near him, she would hunt you down, and I really didn't want to deal with that.

Not that I was afraid of her or anything. No. She couldn't hurt a fly. Notice how I said couldn't, and not wouldn't.

Plus, Ella had added in a new rule that we actually had to date for three months to determine if it was genuine.

So, I really did not want to do this, but if Mom's cookies were involved, then…

I walked up to Fang. He was wearing-you guessed it- all black. As usual. He had a very solemn look on his face.

"What do you want?" I took a deep breath. I didn't know how to explain this. I didn't actually want to date him, I just wanted cookies.

"Listen," I started. I could see Ella and Nudge watching us intensely just a few feet away. " I kinda need your help"

"My help?" I could see a grin creeping up on his face.

"Yeah. With a bet that my friends made." I told him about it.

"So, you want me to be your girlfriend?" He was now right in front of me. I was starting to get really weird feeling.

"Not for real. Just pretend to for a few months."

"Yeah. I don't think that's gonna happen."

"Oh like you wouldn't resort to something like that?" I was starting to get annoyed.

"OK. Maybe I would. And maybe I would help you, if it weren't for…"

"Fang!" A shrill voice cried out. "What are you doing with her?!" I could hear the sound of six inch stilettos clunking noisily on the floor, and the red haired bitch herself appeared in front of us. She shot me a glare, and then started shoving her tongue down Fang's throat.

Uggh. This was disgusting.

"Can you guys like, stop that. There are actual people here. And you're scarring them for life.

Lissa stopped, smiled sweetly at Fang, and then turned to me.

"You know what bitch? You need to stay away from my boyfriend!"

"And what if I don't" She growled, and then slapped me, surprisingly hard, across the cheek. Now that made me really angry.

"Did you just slap me?"

"What are you gonna do about it?" Now I am strong. I can throw a punch, and that is exactly what I did.

The second my fist connected with her face, it was like pure glory. That wonderful, wonderful moment happened all too quickly

Lissa shrieked, and blood started running everywhere. Her so called "friends" came and dragged her off somewhere. Probably to the office. Fang just looked at me and shook his head, before dashing off to his girlfriend. Ella and Nudge just gave me nervous smiles.

*End of flashback*

"Maximum Ride. Maximum Ride report to the office immediately."
