ME: Hi

FANG: ciao

ME: So Fang and I have been talking

FANG: And I know I'm not going to like this

ME: But he promised me something

FANG: Yeah. I said I wouldn't try to escape out the window when she wasn't looking.

ME: This was a relief to hear because otherwise this chapter still wouldn't have been finished. Sorry it's late I'll explain why at the bottom

I sat in front of my dressing table mirror and whisked my clean brush over my face for a sense of comfort while I figured out what the heck I was going to do about my... situation. I mean do I pretend nothing changed. Do I stop talking to him? Do I tell him? But how do you say something like that? It's not like I can walk up to him and say, 'hey guess what? I'm in love with you, do you like me too?' obviously not. I need to call in the professional on this type of thing, the one person who knows guys better than most people. I need to call in-

"MAX!"

-Ella.

I run down the hall to her room where Ella's door was opened just a crack. I pushed it open further and gasped at the sight. "Oh, my gosh, Ella," I gaped. "What happened to your room?"

"Max do you know where my phone is?" She asked and when I shook my head she screamed. "Oh no my life is officially over! Iggy told me he had something important to ask me but I forgot my number so he put his number in my phone but now I can't find it so Iggy's going to think that I'm not interested in him even though I told him I liked him," Ella rambled.

"Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about," I explained. "You see I kinda-"

"Max, I don't have time for your problems I need to find my phone," she snapped. "Go ask Nudge or someone who's not having a mid-teen crisis."

I made a 'hmph' sound and stalked out of Ella's room and across the hall to Nudge's room where I slammed my knuckles against the door.

The door opened a second later and nudge stood there, her mocha skin hidden by a facial mask. "Hey, honey, what's up?" Nudge asked.

"I need to talk to you about something," I explained. Nudge stepped out of the doorway and I walked in, shutting the door behind me.

"What's up, babycakes?" Nudge asked and I looked at her confused. She shrugged. "It's just my thing at the moment."

"I need to talk to you about something really important, an area that you know well," I said slowly. Nudge nodded her head to symbolise to continue and after a deep breath I did. "Well I was thinking about Fang today and was looking at him, Angel caught me and apparently Iggy caught Fang doing to the same so he started to make fun of us and."

"My gosh, woman, breath, and try the short version because you were starting to sound like me... Oh wouldn't it be uber cool if there was two of me because I could be, like, having a conversation with myself and ZOMG now I soooo want another me!" She exclaimed and I shoved my hand over her mouth before she could start again.

"Okay, okay calm down and I'll tell you. I think I like Fang," I whispered and tensed waiting for Nudges reaction.

"Oh my gosh! That is so..." Here it comes. "Ah-May-Zing!" You say what now?

"I cannot believe this! I mean we kinda guessed but still, like, this is so cute! Seriously, you guys are going to be so cute together! I have to go text Angel," Nudge said without taking a breath. "Well skedaddle, I need to have a very important conversation."

Nudge shoved me out the doorway before I could object. Her door slammed and I was left in the hallway feeling abandoned. Who did I have left to talk to about it? Ella was having a major man-induced meltdown, Nudge kicked me out when I brought it up, and I can't talk to my mum about it.

I was deep in thought when my phone buzzed. I pulled the phone out and checked the caller ID. Angel. Yes, fate is on my side, Angel won't flick me off for a boy crisis or anything like that, she'll listen to me and give me advice. I wonder why I didn't call her in the first place.

"Angel! I'll give you twenty seconds to flip out about this whole thing and then you have to shut up and listen because I really, really need to talk to you," I explained before she could sway a word and it took a millisecond before she began to rant about how I told Nudge before her.

"Oh my gosh I cannot believe you told her first. I mean I know she's your adopted sister and everything but we've been BFF's since, like, forever. You know I'm soooo moving in with you guys if it means that I get information first hand and it's not like mum can stop me... but then I'd have to leave Gazzy. Oh actually I couldn't leave him but next time you have to call me because I can't be behind on your life," Angel called through the phone, taking the exact time I gave her before entering a silence.

"Wow, you need to stop spending so much time with Nudge... Anyway, so I guess Nudge told you about my... feelings for Fang?" I asked and she responded with a small 'yep'. "Well I want to tell him but I don't exactly know how."

"Oh, honey," Angel responded. "What was your first thought on how to tell him?"

"To just tell him," I explained. "But surely it can't be that easy. I mean what if he doesn't feel the same way?"

At my last comment Angel laughed. "Oh you are so naive. Call him and ask him to meet you tomorrow down the stream." As I was about to protest that I had plans to go out with her, Nudge and Ella she said, "Oh don't worry about us, you wouldn't have enjoyed what we had planed anyway."

Suddenly I was really grateful that Iggy embarrassed me.

ME: So we are back with a new update!

FANG: It would have been sooner

ME: But we've been really busy

FANG: In the past couple of days we have:

ME: Been to visit my great great Aunty

FANG: who's really old

ME: Had my best friend sleepover

FANG: Who told Bex she would have liked it better if I was some English singer

ME: And my cousins came down from the country

FANG: One of them crashed an aeroplane into the side of my head

ME: So as you can see

FANG: We've had a pretty busy couple of days

ME: But we should update more often soon. Until next time, Bex

Ps. Huge, huge, HUGE thanks to FAXismylife123 for reviewing and also to my alerters and peoples who added this to favourites. I would thank you individually but my email account is being stoopid. (sorry there's no explanation thing on this chapter because it came from my mind not something that has happened but let me know if it has happened to you in a review).
