Chapter 3: Meeting Friends

Fangs Pov

I walked over to the door, still in shock. I did know one thing though; I was going to kill Angel and Nudge. The bell rang again just as I yanked it open, and the girl on the other side jumped. I was about to ask what she wanted, but she beat me to it.

"Hi, my name's Max." She said in a bored tone. My guess was that she had already done this at least 10 times.

"I'm the new girl at the orphanage, nice to….." She drifted off and I looked up, to see her looking at the piece of bacon I had subconsciously taken to the door.

"Is that bacon?" She asked.

I nodded my head and she asked, "Can I have some?" I smiled, which she apparently took as a yes, and so she invited herself into the house. When she got the kitchen she took a plate and loaded it up with pancakes and bacon, then proceeded to sit down, and dig in. All this happened in a blur, and since I couldn't kick her out, I let her be.

As she was eating I noticed she had blond hair with brown highlights in it. She was wearing black shorts and a blue Under Armor shirt. From the lines in her shirt, you could tell she had a swim suit on under her clothes. After I took all this in, I looked up to see she had practically inhaled all her food, and the amount she had would have given Nudge a stomach ache.

"So, it's Fang right?" Max said.

Max's Pov

After I said that Fang looked at me like I was insane, so I decided to explain.

"The kids at the orphanage told me about you, and how you don't talk, like at all. Also I met you're brothers and sisters on the way over." He seemed relieved to hear that, but it was very well concealed. I would have let it drop there, I mean I had gotten a ton of food, and he actually smiled at me, but there was one more thing I was dieing to know.

"The kids at the orphanage told me something else about you to." Ok I had his attention now. "They said you go into the woods a lot, and so I was wondering if you could show me around them." I couldn't believe I said that, but Ms. Lei said I needed someone to go with me, and all the girls in the orphanage were too scared. I would go with the boys but there, you know, boys. But I liked something about Fang, he wasn't like the others, and I felt, different around him.

"Sure." He said. Most girls would have fainted because he talked to me, but this is me were talking about. He seemed surprised, even though he hid it very well. I figured it was either because he talked to me, or that I didn't faint when he did. We walked outside and, I asked him a simple question.

"Wanna race?"

"Sure." Was all he said in reply. Wow, Iggy was right; he really was the complete opposite of Nudge.

"On three," I said "one"; we both got into a starting position. "Two" I took a breath and said, "three!" And we're off!
