When I went back to my room, I saw the Gasman and Angel jumping on the bed. "Whoa!" I exclaimed. "No more bird-kids jumping on the bed! Please." They stopped jumping and sat down on my bed. Angel giggled. " Okay, so if anyone needs to use the bathroom, it's down the hallway," I pointed to the right, "and it's the first door on the right.
Iggy appeared a few seconds later. Fang asked, "So how's Ella?" Iggy's face burned red.
"She's OK," he said, still red.
Angel giggled, "So what did you guys talk about?" I silently gasped. She must've just read Iggy's thoughts! I sent a silent message to Angel: What was he thinking? She replied back: You'll find out soon enough. And we did.
Iggy's face got even redder (if that was possible) and he said, "I told her that we were safe."
Angel asked with a mischievous grin, "Anything else?"
Iggy muttered something that sounded like, "Angel, I'm going to kill you!" He sighed, "Ella told me that she misses me already. And that she loves me so much." Everyone oohed and awwed.
Fang patted Iggy's back, "That's so sweet." He smiled. "And you said…?"
"I told her that I love her too." He stuck his tongue out at Angel. "But I told her…" he trailed off.
Nudge asked, "What's wrong, Ig?"
"I'd rather not talk about it," Iggy sighed again.
"Alright, we won't push you," Max said. "Right?" she asked everyone else with a glare that said Agree with me or suffer. Everyone nodded.
I went over to Iggy and whispered, "If you want to talk, let me know. I'm all ears and zipped lips." He nodded and smiled slightly.
Total interrupted, "Um, I have to go, if you know what I mean…"
"Oh!" I gasped and ran downstairs with Total following me. I slid open the back door and let Total out. I waited a minute or two to give him privacy, then let him back in. We went back upstairs. I yelled up the stairs, "Coming back up!" Just incase Max and Fang were kissing.
When I reached my room with Total, I saw everyone gathered around Angel. When she saw me, she tried to hide something. I saw a flash of pink. Please tell me Angel did not just find my diary! I thought.
"Okay, give it," I said to Angel and held my hand out.
"I don't have anything!" She exclaimed as she held both of her hands out.
"Nudge?"
"Nope."
"Max, Fang, Gazzy?
"No."
"Nada"
"Nope"
Aw, crap! That must mean, "Iggy?" He blushed and pulled out my diary from behind his back. Oh no! I opened it up to where the bookmark was. I read it to myself:
March 12th
I really love Iggy from Maximum Ride. He's just so awesome! He doesn't let his blindness stop him from doing normal things. I wish that we could kiss. But that'll probably never happen. He and the rest of the flock are usually out saving the world (and other extreme sports). Lol I wish I could meet him. I 3 Iggy!
My face grew red with embarrassment. Who had found my diary? "Angel, did you find my diary?"
She nodded sheepishly. "I'm s-s-sorry," she stuttered. Then she started crying.
"Aww, don't cry, Angel! It's OK." I went over to hug her. I pat her head. "My major concern is: did you read it out loud?"
She nodded and continued crying.
"Shhh, it's OK. Shhh." I picked her up and put her on my bed.
