Ok. Here's chapter 7:
Max Pov
I woke up to the sound of Nudge's motor mouth shouting in my ear to GET THE HELL UP! I moaned. I walked up, and slouched to my closet and got out sweat pants and a black t shirt. I put on a sweat shirt, combed my hair and pulled it back into a messy bun. I washed my face, gabbed my book bag, and two chocolate chip muffins. I stuffed one in my pocket and bit into it as I jumped on the bus. I sat down by Fang and gave him his muffin.
"Thanks." Was all he said.
I shrugged and pulled out my IPod. I scrolled to the song firework by Katy Perry.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe"
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
"Max" I opened my eyes to see the school. Fang grabbed my hand and hauled me off the bus. We separated when we got inside the building. I went to my locker and grabbed my stuff to go to homeroom. I took out my IPod. I listened to a Song, "Cooler than me"
If I could write you a song,
and make you fall in love,
I would already have you up under my arm.
I used to pull all my tricks,
I hope that you like this.
but you probably won't,
you think you're cooler than me.
you got designer shades,
just to hide your face and
you wear them around like
you're cooler than me.
and you never say hey,
or remember my name.
its probably cuz,
you think you're cooler than me.
you got your hot crowd,
shoes on your feet,
and you wear them around,
like they ain't shit.
but you don't know,
the way that you look,
when your steps
make
that
much
noise.
see I got you,
all figured out,
you need everyone's eyes just to feel seen.
girl, your so vain,
you probably think that this song is about you.
don't you? don't you?
if I could write you a song,
and make you fall in love,
I would already have you up under my arm.

you think you're cooler than me.
you got your hot crowd,
switching your walk,
and you don't even look when you pass by.
but you don't know,
the way that you look.
when your steps make
that
much
noise.
and don't you dare act like you don't know,
know what's up,
cuz your nose is up.
I'm approaching up.
like I can't give you winter in the summer
or summer in the winter
Miami in December
trying to look bored in them Dior's.
she probably is,
Was acting shallow 'til she found out
how deep that my pockets is
Mrs. pre-Madonna, this is your reminder
That I think you're fine, but I'm finer
'Cause it sure seems
('Cause it sure seems)
You got no doubt
(That you got no doubt)
But we all see
(We all see)
You got your head in the clouds
(Clouds)

I took my IPod as Sam came up to me. "Hey, you wanna do something tomorrow?" He winked at me.
"No." I said.
"C'mon babe." He sat beside me and started to run his hands up and down my leg. Strike one.
"No." I said.
Sam started to pull me into his lap. Strike two. "C'mon. We can go to a nice dinner, go to my house, and have some beer" He was getting really close to my face. I tried to pull away. Sam smashed his mouth on mine. Strike three. Oh, he's out.
I grab his hair, yank his tongue out of my mouth and do a roundhouse kick. He crashes on the floor, gets back up and grabs me by the shoulder. Everyone was staring. Oh, please I thought. Someone rescue me. He releases his grip and grins wickedly at me.
"Some other time." He snarls. He walks to his seat and I sit down. Fang comes in and sits next to me. He sees my face and gives me a questioning look. I nod my head toward Sam's way and Fang nods. He puts a reassuring arm around my shoulders and pulls me close. I'm practically sitting on his lap during homeroom. It was embarrassing, having all of those people looking at us. But I felt safe in Fang's arms. I went to chemistry then Gym. Coach Peterson told me to do 15 sprints up and down the field. I saw the boys snicker. Obviously, they haven't seen me. Fang gave me a nod.
"On your mark, get set, GO!" Coach P said.
I was off. I sprinted so fast, I don't believe my feet ever touched the ground. I finished without breaking a sweat. Huh, I guess those new genes I have in me give me funning abilities too. I've never run this fast before without sweating.
Coach stared at me. The boys mouths were touching the floor. Even Fang had his eyebrows raised.
I shrugged. I walked off toward the girl's locker room. Time to get changed. I came out of the locker room to see Fang waiting.
"Did you take steroids?" He asked.
"No." I grabbed my lunch and went to sit down. I was hungry.
"I knew you were fast, but you have got to be cheating. Even some one as fit as you has never done that."
"What was my time?" I asked.
"Three minutes." Ok, he did have a point. It did sound like I was taking steroids. But I wasn't.
"Maybe I'm just different." I said.
Fang shrugged.
"Why were you late?" I asked.
"Lissa. She was trying to cram her tongue into my mouth." Fang looked to the ground.
"Uh huh." I said. "It's ok. As long as you don't say I'm on steroids."
"Kay." Was all Fang said. Typical Fang.
"C'mon, let's go to lunch." I grabbed his hand and led him to our table.
"Hey Max! Hey Fang! Is it true?"
I looked at her. "What's what true?"
"That you and Fang are going out." Nudge looked at both of us. "Well, are you?"
I looked at Fang. "Last time I checked, I think it was at the best friend level." Fang nodded.
"Oh. Well, you two should really go out. You guys look cute together."
"Who looks cute together?" Asked Ella as she, Iggy, and Gazzy joined us.
"Max and Fang. Don't you think they should go out?"
Ella squealed. "Of course! They're already best friends!"
I rolled my eyes. Fang just ate his sandwich. Typical Fang.
Lunch was over and then the school day. After I got home, I went to the woods and jumped in the air. I unfurled my great thirteen feet wings and soared in the air. I floated in the current of the wind and practiced my turns. It felt good, being all the way up here. No boundaries. I liked it. I looked at my clock on my phone: 7:45. Time for dinner and homework. I landed, and as I did, I saw Fang watching at me.
Dun, Dun, Dunnnnnnnn!
Yay! Chapter 7 is up in one day! I think that's a great achievement. So. Nice cliffy, right? What will happen next? I know! And I'm not going to tell you! But, if you want a hint, you'll have to wait for chapter 8 to come out! Don't worry! It'll be as soon as possible! Don't worry! Thank you guys! Keep the reviews coming! If you want chapter 8 so bad, I have to have at least 3 reviews by next week. You guys rock!
Max: Nice cliffy
Me: thanks. I thought our readers would like it.
Max: Well, hurry it up girl!
Me: Max, I've never heard you talk like that before!
Max: I'm just excited
Me: Ohh! Do you think James Patterson will read my story? Wouldn't that be cool if he did?
Max: You sound like Nudge. And yes, that would be cool if he did.
Me: See you next chapter.
Max: Life's a ride. Enjoy it.
Me: I like that. That should be your signature quote.
Max: I think it is.
Me: See ya
Max: "Am I tough? Am I strong? Am I hard-core? Absolutely. Did I whimper with pathetic delight when I sank my teeth into my hot fried-chicken sandwich? You betcha."
Me: Peace out.
