Chapter 2

I walked into school with my regular crowd that consisted of Angel, Monique aka Nudge, Ella, Ashley, Jamie, Amanda, Kris, Brittany, Juanita, and Kaci. We were all juniors this year and played on varsity sports teams. Sports at our school lasted all year so one person could only do one. During the off season we had 2 get together and do drills or run to stay in shape. Ella, Kris and I play soccer. Angel and Nudge do cheerleading. Ashley and Brittany play softball. Jamie, Juanita, and Kaci do track.

We walked into the cafeteria where everyone stood waiting for the bell to ring. All of a sudden one of the girls in our junior class walked up 2 us.

"Hi, Max. OMG have you seen him. He is absolutely the hottest guy I have ever seen. What do you think? He is so checking you out. OMG!" Kimberly said.

I raised my eyebrow. "Really now, do you mind pointing him out to me." I said to her.

She pointed to a boy that was taller than me, which is hard to find since I am the tallest girl in school. He had black hair that was styled to go down to his chin. He saw me looking and smiled, showing perfect, pearl white teeth. I smile back showing him my own.

The bell rang and we all went to our first block. I had Algebra 2 with Ashley, Brittany, Juanita and Ella. We went and sat in one of the back corners. I noticed the boy from earlier walk in and sit in the other corner with some of his friends. All we did was go over the syllabus and read the first chapter. I also caught glances from the boy. I really need to find out his name, 'the boy' just isn't that catchy.

"Hey, I'll meet you at the lockers." I said to my friends who nodded in response. Then I walked over. When he saw me walk over he told his friends to go ahead with out him. "Hi, I'm Max. And you are?"

"Nick, but I go by Fang." He said

"Interesting. What's your next class?" I asked him.

"Chemistry." He said.

"Really, me to. Walk me there?" I asked him.

"It would be my pleasure." He said. We walked out of the class room and he put his arm around me. "This is my locker, but how about I meet you at yours and we can go from there.."

"Okay, I'm all for that." I said and walked down the hall to my locker.

"Hey, OMG, what happened, what did he say? Never mind I bet I can tell you exactly what he said, I mean seriously did you see the way he was looking at you during math, I mean seriously. He totally has the hots for you" Nudge said in her usual chatterbox way.

"Jeez, Nudge, slow down. I found out his name is Nick but he goes by Fang. He is in my chem class next and he's walking me there." I said calmly. She squealed and someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to find a girl about 3/4s my height with red frizzy hair. "Umm, hi. Can I do something for you?"

"Yeah a few things. One, my names Lissa. Two, I was told that you're the queen at this school, but you better back down, I was the queen bee at Stearns. And three, there is one guy you better not go near, that would be Fang." She said.

"Are you done now?" I asker her, I continued when she nodded, she also looked a little scared which I smiled at. "Alright. One, my names Max. Two, you heard right, this is my school, and I do not go down with out a fight, whether its verbal of physical, it doesn't matter to me. Three, when I was with Fang earlier he didn't tell me he had a stalker, but I'll be sure to ask him about it when he gets here to walk me to class. And look here he is, bye carrot top." I said and patted her head. I walked down the hall about a few feet then turned back to her. "And oh yeah Livia, that scared expression wont help you in a fight. Take some advice form a pro, never let the enemy in on your emotions. It'll only bring you down."

"Whatever, and its Lissa." She said.

"No one really cares and don't try fighting me. You won't win, especially looking like that. Try a straightener." I said to her and then turned to Fang. "Jeez Fang, you never told me you had a stalker." I said to him and he cracked up.

I was in the cafeteria at Schenck when I saw her. She was beautiful. She looked at me after a girl with bleach blonde hair pointed me out for her. I smiled at her and she smiled back with a blinding smile. She had blonde hair with dark brown eyes. She was tall, maybe a few inches shorter than my 6'4.

The bell rang and I headed for Algebra 2. When me and my friends walked in she and 3 of her friends that she was with in the cafeteria were seated in one of the back corners of the room so I led my friends to the opposite back corner.

The only good thing that came out of first block was at the end. I looked up and saw her tell her friends to go ahead without her and then she made her way over here.

"Hey you guys go ahead, I'll meet you at the lockers." I said and they looked to see why and they just nodded when they saw her and then walked off.

"Hi, I'm Max. And you are?" She asked so that's her name. She had the most beautiful voice.

"Nick, but I go by Fang." I replied.

"Interesting. What's your next class?" She asked.

"Chemistry." I replied.

"Really, me to. Walk me there?" She asked and there was no way I was going to say no.

"It would be my pleasure." I said and I wrapped my arm around my shoulders. We walked a few feet and then I stopped. "This is my locker, but how about I meet you at yours and we'll go from there."

"Ok, I'm all for that." She said and started walking away. Then I felt someone tap me on my shoulder.

"Hey man, she is a hottie, not 2 mention she is a killer kisser. She pretty much rules the school with her group of super athletes. Their all smart, and kinda bad assed. She doesn't look like much but she can reduce you to tears if you try and insult her. Especially on the soccer field. In soccer last year she made some of the guys in the senior class cry because they couldn't get the ball from her. They totally lost their self-confidence." He said.

"By the way, I'm Sam, her ex-boyfriend. And be careful with her, she's feisty." He said and then walked away. I put my stuff away and then shut my locker. I got to Max's locker and saw that Lissa was trying to pick a fight with her.

"…, but I'll be sure to ask him about it when he gets here to walk me to class. And look here he is, bye carrot top." She said and then came up beside me and we walked a few feet down the hall and then she turned. "And oh yeah Livia, that scared expression wont help you in a fight. Take some advice form a pro, never let the enemy in on your emotions. It'll only bring you down."

"Whatever, and it's Lissa." She said.

"No one really cares and don't try fighting me. You won't win, especially looking like that. Try a straightener." Max said and then she turned to me. "Jeez Fang, you never told me you had a stalker." Once she said that I just cracked up, I don't think I stopped laughing until we reached the room.

"Hey do you and your friends want to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" She asked.

"Well since we haven't had any invites yet, I guess we can."

"Awesome." She replied and smiled at me. I could of sworn my heart skipped a beat when she did that. Whoa, what the heck, its like I'm falling in love with her even though I just met here. But I've never felt like this before. We talked most of class since all we did was go over the syllabus and then did nothing else whatsoever.

We walked out. "How about you and your friends meet us at our lockers and then we'll head to the cafeteria." She suggested.

"Alright, I'll see you in a few minutes." I said and then walked down the hall. "Hey guys we're going to sit with Max and her friends during lunch.."

"Alright man, her friend Nudge is hot man, I had her in my last class. Hey you should totally ask Max to homecoming. I hear she is always nominated for homecoming Queen, and you will most likely get King. Go for it man." My best friend, Iggy said.

"Yo man, I think I will. Now c'mon we're supposed to meet them at their lockers." I said and we started to their lockers. Once we Max and I introduced our friends. "Hey, I'm Fang and these are my friends, Iggy, Gasman or Gazzy and you don't want to know why we call him that, Mike, Ben, Tommy, Dylan, Tyler, Josh, Kameron, and Cody."

"Hey, I'm Max and these are my friends, Angel, Monique aka Nudge, Ella, Ashley, Jamie, Amanda, Kris, Brittany, Juanita, and Kaci. We are really excited that you want to join us for lunch." Max said.

"Well it's our pleasure. Shall we?" I asked.

"We shall." She said and let out a beautiful laugh.
