Chapter 2: Secret motives

My first two periods went by fine and thank god it was time for lunch. My stomach was rumbling so loud I was afraid that somebody would ask what it was. I'm glad my mom arranged for the school to give all of us more food than anybody else because we have a "rare foreign disease" that causes us to digest more than most people. It was Tacos today and once I got my food I sat down next to my best friend Nudge. Her real name is Monique but I started calling her Nudge in the 3rd grade and it stuck. Nudge is the cheerleader that has a new boyfriend every other day but she's fine with that. Right now her boyfriend is Darius Brown. He's the lead basketball star. Nudge was going on and on about him when someone caught my eye.

Across the room coming out of the lunch line was the definition of tall, dark, and handsome. Yes I know that's the cheesiest thing you've heard but its true. His dark shaggy hair laying over his forehead and onyx eyes. His dark eyes looked over at me and for that split-second, I was in heaven. This guy was wearing a "Fear My Thoughts" T-shirt, which was the in-band right now. Nudge noticed that I was staring at someone and decided to butt in.

"Who ya staring at Max?" She questioned

"Oh, uh, uh, Nobody why do you ask?" I failed miserably at trying to act innocent.

"Oh come on, I know that you were staring at someone. Now who is it?" I figured since she was my best friend and she would figure it out eventually so I gave in and told her.

"Okay fine, you see that guy over there with the dark hair and black T-shirt," I pointed over to him "He's sitting next all to the Jocks" Nudges mouth dropped.

"See I told you he's hot" I applauded myself for finding him.

"N-n-no that's not what I mean. Uh, Max that's my brother" She sounded completely and utterly shocked. But there was no way she was as shocked as me

"Oh, uh, Nudge I-I-I mean th-that uh he just looks so different from when I saw him last I didn't recog-" Nudge cut me off

"OMIGOD you guys would be so cute together I mean sure he's really tall but that's how me and Darius are but there is one problem he has an anger management problem. He can be a real jerk sometimes. But other than that its perfect, do you want me to set you guys up together? I can if you want it wont be a problem. Max…Max . Are you okay? What are you staring at? Dude!" She shook my shoulder.

"Uh Nudge I guess its fine. You don't have to ask I'll figure it out, okay?"

" Sure just get to know him." She was trying to convince me.

"Will do and thanks Nudge."

"No problem anytime" She said reassuringly. At this time lunch was ending and we had to go back to class. Of course this was the class I had with him. But to make things worse the teacher made me and him sit next to each other.

I held my breath as I sat down next to him. "Hey um its Max right"He asked me as I pushed my books to the side. "Um, hey" was all I managed to say. He smirked then said "my name's Fang. I'm Nudges brother."

"That's great to know" I blurted out not realizing that I had said it with an attitude until after I said it. Oh god I hope he didn't take it that way. Way to make a great first impression Max. Was my argument inside my head. The teacher began talking beginning her lesson. God how I hate Ms. Welch.

The class went by terribly slow so I decided to zone out and look around. I had my elbow on the table and my chin resting on my palm. I looked at every face in the class room and all of them were bored out of their minds. Until I got to Fang. Who was smiling at me. Yeah I said it right smiling. But all that ended when the bell rang and the class ended. The rest of the day flew by and finally we could go home.

The bus ride home was one of the best I had ever had. One of the guys started a would you rather game but they turned it into would you tap. Of course most of the guys would rather tap me but everyone was just playing it in the name of fun. Iggy played too but he also got chose the most. Of course Angel and Gazzy were nowhere near close to this conversation. Good thing that neither me or Iggy really cared what anyone said. But soon enough we got off the bus and were on our way into our house when a few kids that we didn't even know shouted through the windows "Holy shit you have a big house" Gazzy just smiled and said "thanks" like a nice person would.

When we got inside we kicked off our shoes and went our own ways. I went into my room and changed into sweats and a top from Pink. Which BTW is my fav. Store EVER. Then went on my laptop and saw that Nudge was on IM I typed…

Hey Gurl wats uppppp;)-Pinklova4eva

Heyyyyyyy y didn't u tell me?-youknowu3me

Tell u what?-Pinklova4eva

About the party 2moro at ur house duhhhh-youknowu3me

Wait what party? Who told u-Pinklova4eva

Uhhh the 1 that evry1 is invited 2. how did u not no? and Darius told me that Iggy told him to tell every1-youknowu3me

Iggy that Bastard, hold on let me go kill him brb-pinklova4eva

kk-youknowu3me

Why would he do that without letting me in on it? I mean I would have agreed. Its not like we never have parties. In fact we have them like 2 times a week. I don't know how but somehow we have a REALLY big house. I mean its not like our parents were that rich they had normal jobs. Dad was an entrepreneur. And Mom was a vet. But somehow we had the biggest house within 15 miles. Ours had 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Not to mention that our basement was the coolest game room out of anyone In our entire school.. So it shouldn't surprise you that we throw a at least 2 parties at a week, but no one in our family seemed to mind because it got them really popular. But still I think that Iggy should tell me. I wonder If Angel and Gaz knew about this. I eventually got to Ig's room.

Iggy's POV

I cant wait until someone tells Max 'Cause it sure as hell isn't going to be me. I planned a party at our house for tomorrow and invited every single person from our school. Mainly for one reason only. To get Max a date. She has NEVER went on a date and I just wanted to help her out like a nice brother would.

I mean I'm a full year younger than her and I've been going on dates since I was 13. Its not like no one likes her. I mean when I'm in the locker room after a game I hear things. Things ranging from "Hey did you see that sexy cheerleader on the sides uh what's her name? Oh yeah Max!" to "Hey Ig you know your sister you wouldn't mind if I you know took her back to my place tonight and we can well you get the picture.". Basically every guy in the school has asked her out and she never gives them an answer. All I want to do is help.

Suddenly Max walked in with a questioning glance toward me. I responded by saying "Hey Max what up?"

"Uh Ig did you plan a party here without asking me?"

"Oh did I forget to tell you? Must've just slipped my mind"

"Come on why didn't you tell me?" I demanded an answer.

"Its just a party and I'm kinda hungry what should we have for dinner?" I asked trying to change the subject. If she really knew what my motive was she would never show her face at that party.

"Ugh fine I'll let you change the subject now but we will talk about this later" Max then left the room and figured that we would just order in pizza with some of moms money she left us for food and emergencies only.

Max's POV

I went back to my room after ordering 5 double Bacon Six cheese pizza's and started talking with Nudge again.

Back-pinklova4eva

Well erm uhhh I guess but I don't really no him all I no is that he is really really hot!-pinklova4eva

Chapter 3

Nudge's POV

OMIGOD Fang shut up. I looked at the clock on my dresser. Ugh 3:07. I grabbed my phone and texted Max

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me ur up(youknowu3me)

Ya what do you want(pinklova4eva)

Ugh Fang likes to sleep with his door open as do I and he wont stop saying your name and I can hear everything!(youknowu3me)

Max POV

I read that text and randomly dozed off into sleep.

HEY YOU WAKE UP. YOU CANT BE SLEEPIN STLL. I STILL SEE YOU YOUR IN YOUR BED. GE-WHACK

Wait, there is no way that Fang keeps on repeating my name in his sleep is there? Oh well no time to worry on that, I've got a party to plan after all.

Music-check

Food-check

Boys-check

Looks like my work here is done. Now to go get everyone up.

Since everyone seemed to do wake up fairly easily I treated them to a breakfast of chocolate brownies from the night before. Angel got practically high but by that time it was time for school.

On the bus I got bombarded with questions about the party like. "Oh My God is that new kid Jason Coming?" and "Should I bring the 'good stuff'" And even "Hey um is your brother willing to well you now I guess never mind". After that awkward silence the bus driver pulled into our school parking lot and we all flooded out.

I went to my locker to find my entire cheerleading squad waiting for me. "Uh, Hey did you need something" My friend Jessie stepped forward.

"Well we were just wondering if you were going to make a move on uh, Fang?" Oh god did everyone know about this now.

"What would make you guys say that ?" I asked then looked around to find that Nudge wasn't there. Of course not…

"Well there's just this rumor going around that you like him"

"I guess I will tell you guys when I figure it out for myself." I stated jokingly and then sighed. "Guys I better get to class. See you at practice tonight" I smiled and went off to first period.

Math went as usual and then I went to the dreaded second period. God how I hate social Studies. Nobody really needs to know about history, right?

It was during lunch that things got kinda weird. We all know that teachers hate Rap music and that students do anything possible to annoy teachers. So I was sitting down with my group with consisted of the cheerleading squad, and the football players which included Fang. Yes I know it was a surprise to me too but yes Fang is on the football team. And I hear he's the captain too. Well anyway the entire football team silenced simultaneously, causing us to do the same. Suddenly Fang and another Football player Mitchell pulled out a backpack from nowhere. Set it on the table then pulled out a speaker and an iPod.

Then without hesitation they plugged in the iPod and it started playing Lil' Wayne's 6 foot 7 foot started playing. Since no teachers were really listening they turned it up so loud it was echoing off the walls. Everyone's head snapped toward our table and every single football player got onto the table and started rapping and dancing to the song. I didn't feel like being left out so I jumped up there as well. Soon to be followed by the entire cheerleading team.

This lasted a good 5 minutes before the principle came in and ordered us to get down. It was good while it lasted but at least all we got was detention. So in two days I have a 2-hour -WHOOP. At least nobody cares what you do in there and I get to be with my friends. Lunch was over and I had to get on with my day. Next period was science and we were told that we would be put into pairs the next day, then she gave us the rest of the class to 'study'.

Fang's POV

Damn. Why did Max have to be so sexy. You have no idea how hard it is to just not stare at her, every opportunity you get. I hope tomorrow me and her get paired together just so that I c-I was cut off by Mike. A stupid basketball player.

"Hey did you get everything for the party figured out. I'm sure its gunna be really fun!" wow such a loser is that the best pick up line he can think of. But hey let him do what he wants.

"Uh, yeah actually thanks for asking" Max said a little timid.

"Look I saw what you did at lunch and thought it was really creative and brave and I was wondering if you wanted to maybe go hangout at my place sometime." Okay 1)It was me and Mitchell who thought of that and 2) hang out with him psshhh please anyone could do better than him.

"You see I really think that sounds good but let me ge-" Max started only to get cut off by Mike's lips attacking hers. Max froze and Mike stopped.

"So umm is that a yes?" he asked. God he's such a dumbass. Why cant he just take a hint and reli-

"Sure" Max said sounding pleased with herself
