"Max! How can you not be freaking out?! This guy way in your room! Are we sure he even came from a book?"Ella bickered as Max logged on to the school library.
"Ella I freaked out to but until we learn more about him he's staying with us. How can he know so much? And yes I'm freaked out too. I just hide it better,"Max typed 'Nicolac Martinez' in the search bar.
Nicolas Martinez was one of the wealthiest men in 1600's. It is said that he had fallen in love with his best friend, Maya Cain. But his family betrothed him to another. A Lissa Wood. She never care for Nicolas and was said to have had many affairs. Then she met a Dylan Summers. He was a body-guard and friend for Nicolas. When Nicolas found out he called off the wedding. He become sick for unknown purposes that today is called iron poisoning. Lissa had fed it to him little by little causing permanent damage.
Lissa convinced her lover, Dylan, to kill him. Dylan, blinded by love, did so stabed his life long friend in the back over 48 times. None were severe enough to kill him. He ended up bleeding a slow and painful death. It took him 8 hour to bleed out. Dylan said that he had attacked him first and the murder was forgotten. Lissa and Dylan settled down and had 11 children. All the children died of 'unknown' causes. 3 died of S.I.D.S. shortly after they were born. 2 were shot while watching a duel. The bullets strayed off and hit them. 2 were raped and murdered. 3 had gone insane and killed themselves. The last child, a daughter, they renamed Maya, because their closest friend had died of a heart attack.
Maya, though sickly, was the only child to survive the horrible line of tragedies. It was said that Nicolas was the one killing them through a revenge plot. But Maya survived because she was named after his only love, and he could not bring himself to kill her.
Ella was crying by the end of the passage. Max had tears in her eyes but refused to let them fall.
"Come on Ella let's go get Fang he's probably still in the office,"she logged off and left. As they walked down the corridors Nudge ran into her.
"Ohmigod did you see the total hunk running around the school? He looks sooooooo hot! Id like myself a peace of that! Mmm so sexy! He's a new kid everyone's talking about it like he was fresh candy. Brigid Lace has her eyes on him. But he keeps going around like he's never been in a school before. Youd think he was from the 16th century the way he acts!"Max went pail.
"Y-Yeah 16th century,"she laughed nervously.
"You know something don't you? Oh my gosh is he your boyfri-"Max slapped a hand over her mouth.
"No he's not. Now which way did he go?"Nudge pointed to the left were the lockers were."Good girl."Max let go of her and ran down through the lockers. If she hadn't known better she would have got lost. Max caught a glimpse of the roof door opened. She stopped, it was worth the try. She ran over to the door and up the stairs. All this running left her out of breath.
"F-Fang are you up h-here?"she panted her hands on her knees.
"Mmmm?"a dark figure turned to her."Max what are you doing here?"
"L-Looking f-for y-you! Its time f-for class,"she stood up straight.
"Ok, let's go,"he stood up and walked over to her.
"You have either me or Ella in your classes with you. So if you need anything just ask,"Max lead him down stairs and to his first period class. He had english, gym and french with Max. Study hall, lunch, with Max and the gang, and history with Ella.
Fang sighed they were reading Shakespeare. Like he didn't already know the guy. God this class, this school, this time, was confusing! They had to go to school for 13 years. Or if they wanted to have a certain study they went for more years!
"Nick could you start reading?"he sighed stood and read. He didn't even try but the words flowed fluently from his mouth. They class could feel the emotion from him, even though he wasnt trying.
By the time he was finished most girls were crying and they boys had envious looks. Max was smiling and he couldn't figure out why. By lunch time, Max was sure he was the teachers favoret student. He was smart athletic and could speak french 4 without trying. It comes naturally, he insisted.
"Max that's the guy! He was the hot one-"
"Hey!"Gazzy shouted. He didn't like her looking at other boys because he liked her.
"So who is this guy?"Iggy asked looking at them.
"He's a friend staying with us for some time wail his parents are away,"Max told them. She bought 2 trays of food and Fang looked at her.
"Why 2?"
Max smiled and went over to a small girl sitting all alone.
"Here would you like to join us?"she put the tray of food next to her and gestured to their table. The girl smiled and nodded going to their table with her.
"Why?"Fang asked.
"Because I know what its like to feel lonely and unwanted and hungry. We weren't alway rich. My mother and father used to live with us but we weren't doing so well. Jeb and mom fought a lot. I almost died in a fire and thats what snapped them out of their stupidity. They went back to college and got good jobs. When they went to college we wouldn't eat for days. So yes I know how if feels. No one helped us but I'm going to help them. Thats the only thing I can think of doing,"Max explained.
Everyone was sitting at the table mouth open. Max had never revealed her personal life to anyone.
"Your rich?"Iggy asked.
"Yes,"they nodded.
"Anyway what is your name?"Max turned to the new girl. She had brown hair and hazel eyes. She was short about 5:7.
"Jesse,"she spoke her voice barely a whisper. She shoved around her food before eating.
"Are you new here?"
"Yes."
"How do you like it so far?"Iggy asked.
"Its fine. The people are really nice and everyone's friendly,"Jes smiled faintly.
By the end of the day Fang was pooped. Why was this place so hard! How did Max and Ella do it?
"Hey Fang let's go shopping we need some clothes for you,"Max took him to the 'mall'. He got 6 pairs of clothes. All black gray or dark blue.
Max made up the guest room so he could sleep comfortably. Before she left the room Fang had taken his shirt off. There were over a dozen scars on his back. Max stood there and brushed her fingers across them. He stiffened slightly.
"Oh Fang I'm so sorry,"Max whispered.
"It's over now. Theres nothing you can do,"they stood in silence.
Max hugged him from behind before pulling away."Im going to bed. Call me if you need me,"with that she left.
