Chapter: 2
"Fang huh?" I asked smirking a little at his name.
"Yeah I like my name. D-"
I cut him off "that's not your real name." I stated and he took half a second to glare at me. I fake yawed unable to resist.
"so what's YOUR name?" he asked me.
I brushed past him walking inside "Max, Maximum Ride. You wont believe how many sexist remarks I get about my name." he took a moment to figure out what I meant and his unreadable mask of a face was replaced by a look of disgust.
...
"so Mrs.- or is it Ms?" i asked Ms. Walker
"oh Max you can just call me Anne." she said laughing lightly. her look was a cover up. i could tell for some reason she seemed a little...uneasy
"like ZOMG Ella do you want to see my room your welcome to come to Max because i doubt that Fang will ever invite anyone to his room he's been all coped up painting it and gets mad when anyone disturbs him so you guys can come and help me with my room an-" Ella put a hand over the girls, whose name we found out was Nudge (aka Monique") mouth
"we'd love to!" Ella said grinning.
"Excuse moi?" I asked in a terrible French accent. "if never agreed to this."
"Want to see my room then?" Fang asked.
i shrugged as Ms- I mean Anne and Nudge stared at him. "Sure," so we got up and walked up the stairs.
"So where are..." my moms' voice trailed away as Fang led me to his room, which was actually the attic. He opened a little stair thingy from the roof and led me up.
"Welcome to my humble abode." Fang said smirking. I had quickly caught on that Fangs biggest smile was a smirk. Fangs room was...well...just anything from what I expected. The walls were black (duh) but other that that it was different. He had painted stars on the roof and I quickly noted that he was a nerd: I noticed he had the stars in constellation patterns. Along one wall was a portrait of his family: with wings. I recognized Fang his mom and Nudge but there were also two little kids. Both with big blonde hair and adorable blue eyes. on a different wall (where the window was) was fangs bed. it was like a bunked but without the lower bunk instead there was a computer area.
To my right was...a blank wall. Same as the one behind me. Fang was shifting rather uncomfortably "well?" he asked
i kept looking around for a minute "I love it" I said slowly. Maybe Fang wasn't what he appeared to be; maybe I had actually discovered a guy who didn't have a different girlfriend each week.
He relaxed a little and walked over to the window. Behind his house was kind of a forest thingy. Our houses were far enough apart that I didn't go into that often. Only once actually.
"You like the night sky." i told him.
"Yes I'm so glad you could actually see that" he replied
"Is that sarcasm I hear" I said cupping one of my ears.
"Maybe"
"ahh, maybe, I see was that maybe sarcasm?"
"Yes"
i grinned and decided i liked this family. "who are the two kids? the twins in the picture?"
"Angel and Gazzy" I blinked. wow this family was very nicknamey. "What's in there" he said gesturing to the woods.
"Trees duh" he raised an eyebrow at me.
"Max-"
"Fang"
He narrowed his eyes "Max-"
Fang"
"...Max"
Fang I get it, you know my name."
"Max!"
"FANG!"
"Look!" I glanced out the window to where he was looking. In one of the trees a man was sitting on one of the highest branch...sharpening a knife.
