Chapter 4


All i could think about was Fang and Iggy.

I mean, I think I was falling for him.

Falling in love with....

Fang.

~*~::~*~

Yep.

I was falling in love with Fang.

Don't get me wrong, Iggy was a great guy, and would make an even better friend, but Fang was sooooo cute and his eyes were so deep, it was like looking into a black whole and-

ugh, don't tell anyone i was thinking that. DONT! I can't even believe it.

"....going to be such great friends! I just know it!" Danii exclaimed.

"Yeah!" I said, with as much joy as I could muster.

She didn't notice anything and went to take a shower.

I sighed and started thinking about Fang again.

Iggy's POV (3 hours after Max)

Wow. I couldn't stop thinking about Max.

She was just so... beautiful? No, no words could describe her.

I'll ask her out tomorrow, I vowed.

I rolled over, and finally fell asleep.

Fang's POV (Same time as Iggy's)

I was used to being shunned. I was the weird emo goth creep that no one had wanted to be around in my last school.

Even in the orphanage.

Max definitely wouldn't wanna go out with me if she found out my mom was a teenage drunk and I had been a mistake. So she gave me to the orphanage, getting rid of the thing that had almost ruined her life.

I sighed. My roommate seemed nice enough. A bit of a computer geek, but whatever. I was just glad it wasn't some jock. ick.

Max's POV

beep beep beep beep beep....

"Ugh," I rolled over and grabbed my cell phone. I opened one eye and snoozed my phone alarm.

beep beep beep beep beep....

That wasn't me... It was Danii's. Apparently she wasn't a morning person either because she rolled unwillingly out of bed and grunted, "Should ge'up now Max. Class starsat 8."

I groaned and got up.

Danii shuffled over to the bathroom and closed the door. I heard her turn the shower on. I opened a cabinet and found some Lucky Charms. I sat down at the table and poured some in a bowl. I ate slowly, savoring every bite.

Danii came out of the bathroom, fully dressed, ten minutes later.

"Your turn," she said, more awake now.

I got up, "Is today the first day of classes?"

"Yep," she replied, yawning.

"Oh," i said. In AZ, school went back 2 weeks ago. Obviously here they went back later. Weird.

I took my shower and got all my stuff together. We walked over to the high school together.

"Hey Max! MAX!" someone behind me yelled.

I turned to see Iggy, slightly out of breath, but smiling.

"Hey," I said

"Hey," he replied. "What'cha have first period?"

I looked at my schedule.

"French II."

"Really? Me too!" Iggy exclaimed. "Oh hey I'm James, but people call me Iggy," he said, holding out his hand to Danielle.

She giggled and said, "I'm Danielle, but people call me Danii. With two ii's at the end."

"Cool," he said. "What do you have first?"

"Spanish," she said, looking a bit disappointed. "it's the only class i don't have with Max."

"Nice," Iggy said. "So Max, I was wondering-"

"Hello."

Fang had come up behind us, completely quiet.

I felt myself blush, "Hi Fang."

He nodded.

Danii rushed to introduce herself, "HI! I'm Danii. Well actually Danielle." she went.

Fang looked at me whispered, "Monique."

I giggled.

Danii broke off, "What?"

"Nothing nothing," i shook my head. Danii looked at me suspiciously, but shook it off and went back to talking to Iggy.

Just then a little boy ran up to me.

"Max?" he asked.

I looked down at the kid. He was about 9-10 years old. I felt like I had met him before, because he looked so familiar....

"Max?" he asked again.

I nodded.

"Can I talk to you? By yourself?" he asked sweetly.

I couldn't resist. I followed him away from my curious friends....

Fang's POV

I watched her walk away with the little kid.

He looked a lot like her. Maybe they were cousins. But she hadn't seemed to know who he was.

Just another reason for me to love her. She was nice to everyone. She had even been nice to me, the weird emo kid.

I was a little jealous of Iggy, cuz he seemed to have certain elegance around girls. It was kinda odd...

Iggy's POV

If Fang hadn't shown up... Max would be my girlfriend right now.

Ugh!

But she had just walked off with that little kid, who looked uncannily like her. Creepy.

"So, first block?" said Fang, apparently trying to make small talk.

"Spanish,'' said Danii. She was kinda cute too, but i wanted Max.

"French," I said

"Same," said Fang, nodding at me.

"Cool."

Danii looked disappointed.

"Well I'll see you guys around," she said and headed for the Spanish classroom.

Fang and I walked to French in silence. We lined up outside the classroom.

The warning bell rang and we went inside and sat down.

"If Max doesn't hurry up, she's gonna be late," I muttered.

Fang nodded.

"Iggy!"

A girl from my old school walked in and spotted me. She plopped her stuff down in the seat next to me. The one I had been saving for Max. Grr.

Just the Max hurried in, just missing the bell.

And she sat next to Fang. Double grr.
