Chapter 3

Max POV:

I'd just finished my last lesson of the day, Gym. I did who knows how many hours of dance a week, but I still have to go running round a field, doing what they call exercise in the fall. At least dancing keeps me fit, so it's not exactly what you would call hard.

Unfortunately, Lissa is in my gym class, and God, she moans about everything! You just want to say 'Shut the fuck up'!
ZOMG (Great now I'm turning into Nudge), I've got Lissa's new nickname, to add to Bitch and the Red-haired wonder! Her new nickname is the 'Moana Lissa', you know like the painting?

I'll definitely call her that at dinner tonight - she practically lives with us because of James, and some nights she stays over. James' room is next to mine, so I can hear more or less exactly what goes on in there, much to my disgust. Slut much?

My phone started to vibrate, so I pulled it out of my pocket and answered it. It was Nudge...

"Max, hurry up and meet me by your car! The letters have arrived!" she said, and with that I cut off the line, grabbed my bag and sprinted off to my car in 30 seconds flat,

"Climb in, and let's go," I told Nudge. She was staying over tonight because her parents were going out, and my parents are still best friends with the Venom's, even after what happened with me and Fang...

Bet, you're all wondering what these letters are all about if they had me running? Well around 3 months ago all the students majoring in music and dance applied for this trip to New York for 8 weeks, that's right 8 weeks of no school work! There's some kind of competition, and the prize is to perform for some of the top Broadway directors and choreographers. My dream is to be a choreographer when I'm older so this a huge deal! Only 20 students will get picked though, so only the best of the best will get in! But you have to be 16 to enter, so Nudge was gutted as she turns 16, in January. I said she could design my costume if I got a place which she seemed to be happy about.

When we arrived home, I ran all the way to the kitchen and shouted at the top of my voice,

"Mum where is it?"

"As I was just telling James, Lissa and Fang," she continued to stir the cookie mixture, making my mouth start to water, "We are waiting until after dinner and till your father gets home," she said sternly. What was Fang doing here anyway?

"But Mom..." I whined.

"No buts Maxine," she said using my full name. I hate the name Maxine, my name is Max and when I'm 18, I'm legally going to change it to Maximum, it's already my stage name.

"How are you Nudge?" my mum asked.

"Hi Dr M, I'm good! How are you? Are those cookies? I love cookies, especially your cookies, the chocolate always melts in your mouth, and it tastes all cocoa-ish, like the Oompa-Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factor-." Before she could go on even more I slapped my hand over her mouth.

"You coming Ella?" she nodded,

"James and the 'Moana Lissa'," Fang snickered at my nickname, "could you please keep it down tonight, I have a test tomorrow." Lissa, blushed and Mom rose her eye-brows at Iggy, who just grabbed Lissa's hand and rushed off upstairs.

"Nice one Max," Ella said, and I high-fived my sister, her room is on the other side of James'.

"Yeah. Nice one Maxie," Fang said.

"Thanks tooth." I smirked at him. "Who wants to go out in the pool?"

"Me, me, me!" Shouted Nudge, "But I don't have my swimming costume..." she said sadly.

"Nudge you live next door!" I reminded her.

"Oh yeah, come on Fang," she said grabbing his hand and pulling him off to go get his swimming stuff.

"Come on Ella," I said and I dragged her up the stairs, and pushed her into her bedroom. Then I went into my room and found my bikini, (.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/ermou_wide_stripe_) chucked on a baggy t-shirt and flip-flops, and I went and knocked on James' door.

"James and slut-face, stop sucking face and come join us in the pool, or is Lissie to worried about her hair?" I snickered.

"Don't call my girlfriend a slut!" James' shouted and opened his door.

"Fine, she's not a slut she's a whore, and you're her perfect match, a man-whore." I headed out to the pool.

No one else was out there yet, so I took my flip-flops off and just as I was about to remove my t-shirt, something or should I say, someone, came running into me, wrapped their arms around my waist and pulled me into the water with them.

When we finally came up, I saw my condemner, and guess who it was?

Fang of course.

"Hiya Maxie, you okay?" he asked. Then he patted me on the head. How dare he pat me on the head! I'm freaking Max Ride, and I'm 5 8'! I'm not exactly what you would call small!

He still had his arms around my waist and I was stuck, not that was a bad thing, Fang wasn't wearing a shirt so I could feel his eight pack! MAN this boy is fit! No! Bad MAX!

"I'm fine, thank you Tooth," I said whilst putting my arms around his neck and leaning in, making it look like I was gonna kiss him. He thought I was so he bent his head down low enough so I could leap frog (ex-gymnast here!) over his head and get to the steps. Then I got out and very slowly pulled off my t-shirt,

Fang's jaw dropped.

"Yo, Tooth you're gonna catch flies..." He snapped his mouth shut after that. I don't blame him, though dancing for around 12 -15 hours a week does give me a good body! Not that I'm biased or anything, and I'm not exactly flat chested!

Then Nudge and Ella came out, both in tankinis; Ella's was blue and Nudge's green.

"ZOMG! Max you look so hot in that bikini! I LOVE- " Ella slapped her hand over Nudge's mouth,

"Thanks Ells."

"Your welcome Max!" Then I went over to them and pushed both of them into the pool, ha ha!

Then Lissa and James' walked out,

"I don't want to go in the pool James, or get wet, so make sure your pathetic sisters don't push me in." Lissa whined,

"Babe, do not call my sisters pathetic, okay!" James replied. I looked at Nudge and Ella and rose my eyebrows, they both knew exactly what to do!

Lissa was wearing a lilac bikini, and she really didn't look good, as she couldn't stuff her bikini top!

So as Lissa went to lie on the sun beds to sunbathe, James came and offered his hand to Ella to pull her out, she took it but then yanked him in instead.

I then dived by into the pool, and someone grabbed me,

"Aargh!" I screamed; then there was Fang laughing his head off at me.

"Ha ha. You are just hilarious!" I said sarcasm dripping off every word...

"Well, you wanna team up and throw Lissa in the pool?" he asked.

"Won't that ruin your little 'secret' love fest with her?" I asked.

"Nah, I'm gonna break it off tomorrow," he said casually.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because she so freaking moany - I love your nickname for her by the way!"

"Thanks. Now lets get her!" I smirked evilly, and he smirked back. His smirk is so sexy... NO WAIT! BAD MAX! What is it with me today?

Me and Fang casually got out of the pool, and wandered over to where Lissa was sunbathing, Fang grabbed her shoulders and I grabbed her her legs as we picked her up.

"Put me down!" she shrieked. Oooooww my freaking ears!

"Nope," I said, 'popping' the p!

"Jamie!" She was shrieking but he just ignored her, and kept on splashing with Nudge and Ella!

"Have fun Lissie!" I said, whilst laughing.

"3!" Me and Fang swung her;

"2!" We swung her higher;

"1!" We swung her even higher and let go...

"Aaahhhh!" Lissa shrieked, as she hit the water with a splash. Fang and I high-fived each other.

Then we burst into giggles. Well we cracked up. I'm not exactly sure Fang would giggle ...

My Mom shouted from the kitchen, "Cookies are ready!" and within 10 seconds I was in the kitchen with the cookie melting in my mouth. In one word - Yum!

The others joined me about a minute later.

"Maxine, how can you eat those things? It's just carbs, fat, sugar and calories!" Lissa whined.

"First of all my name is Max, not freaking Maxine, Lissie, and just shut up cause no one wants to hear your pathetic little whiny voice!"

Then I grabbed some cookies, and went up to my room. I turned on my iPod and started to practice my solo dance for the choreography competition next week. Just after I had finished Fang knocked on the door and walked in. I went over to my closet and pulled out a shirt. Wow it's been a long time since Fang's been in here. We used to spend everyday together, me, Fang , Nudge and Iggy, I miss those days...

Fang walked over to my picture wall, it has 5 sections - holidays, family, friends-past, friends present and dance. In my room I also have all my dance certificates, ballet, modern, tap, street, jazz, ballroom and Latin.

He smiled at all the old photos. I went and stood next to him. His smile faded when he saw the on of us kissing on New Year's. We kinda got forced into it, but it was my first proper kiss and it was then that I realised I liked him. Iggy took the photo. I can't believe that was nearly 4 years ago.

"So what do you want to do now? We have around half an hour to dinner?" I asked.

"Well, um, we are doing this dance in class, and um," he scratched his head and ran his fingers through his hair, "and I was wondering if you help me with it?"

Review!
