MAX POV:
"Hey Max…" I turned around to his barely audible voice, his eyes a mix of worry and anxiety, "You know I love you right?"
Without control a grin was drawn on my face, I got a warm feeling inside, one I always got when I was around Fang. "Yeah I know, you're a great friend. I love you too Fang." I leaned over to hug Fang, and slipped him a kiss on the cheek.
And I meant it, some would be so lucky to have someone you know you can count on through thick and thin. He was like my knight in shining armor, except I would kill him if he ever called me a damsel in distress.
FANG POV:
We cleaned up the kitchen together, the occasional throw of sugar here and then, but the job was completed in due time.
I started to think back to when I first realized that I was falling for my best friend.
It was the ending of senor year of high school, Max and I would be attending Stanford together next fall, it was amazing that we both managed to get into Ivy league schools, Max who had never really been a part of my circle of friends, agreed to attend an end of the year blow out party with me.
I could tell she was uncomfortable as we entered the large house, "Hey Fang!" I heard numerous greetings like this as I shuffled Max and me to the food table.
"Oh come on have some fun!" I said trying to encourage a smile out of Max, who only agreed to give a small smirk out.
"No one at this party even knows who I am Fang. Oh wait! They know me as Fang's nerdy friend."
I laughed, at the truth in that sentence, but I was happy that Max was here with me.
"Well here's your chance to get to know them." I bent down to her height and tried to put on a failing puppy dog face.
When no sign of her resistance faltering I sighed, and told her we would be out of here in an hour, she smiled and nodded agreeing to my terms.
She had disappeared somewhere else for the remainder of the party, and as the clock hit twelve, a tap on my shoulder, and there she was.
"Where have you been?" The curiosity stretching from my voice, and her face showing a wouldn't-you-like-to-know expression.
"Let's just get out of here." I linked her arm with mine, and she smiled, "You'd better let go, I'm getting death glares from girl half of the party."
I laughed at her joke, and just pulled her closer to me, never really caring what people said about Max, and I.
As we exited the party, Max practically sprinted towards my car and banged on the shot-gun seat wanting me to unlock it.
We entered the car in sync, and I ask Max, "Where do you want to go now?"
"Well graduations tomorrow…let's do something stupid." Her evil grin arose, and I clamped my foot on the ignition whirling down the highway to who the hell knew where.
We took turns standing in the sunroof screaming our lungs out, music blasting and disturbing anyone unlucky enough to be next to us during a red light.
"You know if you acted this cool all the time, little miss goody two shoes, you might be a little more popular." I had finally turned down the music, and we took this time to chat.
"Oh, yes because that's always been my life-long dream, to be popular just like you." She clamped her hands together, and sighed as if she was making a birthday wish.
The rest of the conversation was a mute blend of insults and jokes, reminiscing about out four years of high school, and about how our new college lives would be like. Until Max, shouted, "Fang! Fang! Stop here."
I read her body language and pulled into the drive way of the beach. It was pitch black, and there was not a soul in sight. "Let's go into the water." Her whisper was scratchy and excited, and we slipped out of the car slowly, tip-toeing on the sand trying not to burst out in laughter as we shoved each other.
When we finally reached the water, Max pulled out a small flashlight and a camera.
"It's beautiful here." I had to agree as we stared out to the calmed waves the stars seeming as if they shined right above.
Handing me the flashlight Max began to snap pictures, and almost blinded me when she took a picture by surprise.
"That's such a hot face Fang."
"I always am."
We stayed at the beach the whole night, up until around five in the morning, taking pictures building sandcastles, tossing each other into the freezing water, and watching the sunset.
Our mother's were ok with it don't worry, we're not delinquents.
As the sun rose up Max was leaning into my chest taking another picture, my arms wrapped around her waist, we just sat there.
When Max sighed and nuzzled closer to me, laying her head on my shoulder, I got this bubbly feeling, one that I've never gotten around Max before.
I looked at her and it was clear to me for the first time, I had just developed a little crush on my best friend.
I could never forget that even if I wanted to, there were too many photos, but it wasn't just that special night with Max that made it such a special day, it was because…that was also the first day I met Maya.
Who's Maya! Ha-ha I hope you guys liked this chapter, please continue to read and review the chapter! Thank you guys so much! Leave any comments you think necessary I really want to get better at writing! ;)
