I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for taking FOREVER to update. It's just I don't have a lot of free time on my hands anymore where I can type chapters. So, I gave everyone a super-uper long chapter to apologize. I hope you like it.

Max's Pov

I woke up at, probably about 6 in the morning, during summer, on a weekend, because of a certain kid, cough LOUIS! I swear, one of these days I was gonna kill that kid. I mean really, I'm used to not getting much sleep, but can't I have 1 night, just ONE NIGHT! "Oh well" I thought, as I sat up and got out of bed like everyone else, minus the grumbling. Then of course, Ms. Lei screamed down the stairs.

"PANCAKES AND BACON! FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!" Huh, that woke everyone up. I joined the mob of kids running for the stairs. I was looking for Fang, when I remembered what happened last night, and suddenly I became a lot more interested in breakfast. I just couldn't wait until after breakfast when the fun would really begin. If I was right and it was the first Saturday of the month, it meant the neighborhood kids would come over for our annual sports day. Whoo-hoo! Girls vs. Guys like everything else we did at this house, and the winner got to decide on games until the next tournament. I saw a kid trip going up the stairs ahead of me, and as I reached down to help him up(mistake #uno), I got plowed by another kid. I started to fall back down the stairs, and would have too, if not for someone catching me. I looked up into a set of deep brown, almost black eyes.

"Are you ok?" Fang asked.

"Fine." I replied. He started up the stairs when I spoke up.

"Thanks for catching me." I said. He flashed me a grin, and then raced back up the stairs, eager for breakfast. And if you're wondering why I said that, well, let's just say I don't like to owe people things, even if I am kinda mad at those people. By the time I actually made it to the top of the stairs, the line was already around the kitchen for breakfast. By the time I actually got to the food, there wouldn't be any left! And if you're wondering why, it's because you get one serving, so you learn to pile as much as you can on the plate you get, and if you think +15 kids can pile away food, you're right.

"Mine!"

"No, it's mine!"

"Guys, come one, don't fight, it's just a pancake."

"JUST A PANCAKE! IT'S THE LAST BIG ONE LEFT!"

And the first fight of the day had officially begun. It's sad that I've been here 2 days, and am already used to the fighting. "Yes!" I thought as my turn for food finally came. I was one of the last ones up, so I got the puny 'last bit of batter' pancakes, and burnt bacon (Which honestly, didn't look that much like bacon).

"Nice food here huh." Fang said, sneaking up from behind me as usual.

"Top quality, I mean, aren't these the best pancakes ever, it looks like a top chief made them."

"Meaning Susan (An annoying as hell 6 year-old) helped."

"You catch on fast."

Max was right, I did 'catch on fast' but with my life, you get used to it. We had about, eh; five minutes to eat as much as we could, then we got literally kicked outside (courtesy of David and Emma) . That was another rule, once outside, you couldn't come in until Ms. Lei said you could, you had to really go, or for a meal. Max had explained everything to me at breakfast. The day would go like this,

Wake up and get ready. Check.

Eat Breakfast. Check.

Go outside and wait for the neighborhood kids. Check.

Little kids go play tag or something, older kids divide into girls vs. guys teams (Everything after this if for older kids and cool younger kids).

Sprints, kickball, and football are done before lunch.

LUNCH!

Any swimming after lunch, then baseball and basketball before dark.

DINNER!

Then night games after dinner (flashlight tag, kick the can, manhunt, ect.)

Then we get cleaned up (usually by the hose), come inside, get ready, and night schedule is like any other, except everyone falls asleep faster.

Sounds fun doesn't it!

This was gonna be a, well, interesting day. So far, me and Lily had ate half the food at breakfast, and were now laughing our heads off as David and Emma, the team captains, tried (and failed) at getting everyone who was competing under control.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Emma screamed, and when Emma screamed, she's mad, and you don't wana mess with a pissed Emma.

"Thank you" David said. "Now, will all the boys get in order from youngest to oldest on this side of the yard?" The boys filed over behind David.

"Girls, do the same over here." Emma said, while the girls piled over to her side.

"Come on." Lily said. "We'd better get going."

"Good idea, I mean we don't wana get Emma mad, she seems pretty pissed already like zomg! If we lose she's gonna be in a bad mood for like, the rest of the month." I babbled, as we both got up to walk over. When we got there, the main age groups were already established, so I wished Lily luck as she headed to the 10 year-olds. I, on the other hand headed to the group of 12 year-olds.

As Emma came around to double check everyone, I saw Angel in a group with the 'better' batch of younger kids. On the boy's side, I saw Gazzy talking with Louis, they looked like they were planning something, and last time they did, well, we had to redo the basement, with added bomb protection. Further up, Iggy talking to Fang about, well honestly, I probably didn't want to know. I still couldn't get over the fact Fang actually here! I mean, I'd have to thank Max later for getting him over here! I wonder if Max reminded him of, well, Max. I mean same name, voice, look, it was almost like, well, no that would be impossible, Max died, right?

After finally getting everyone organized, Emma and David decided to tell everyone the schedule for today, because it was just a bit important for everyone to know what was going on. So, looks like we would have sprints first off, then the winner would choose between football or kickball for the next game, and so on and so forth. Lila and JJ marked the start and finish for the 200 meter dash, they made 4 running spots, so we could get through everyone as fast as possible. We would run in heats by age, so there was no 7 year-olds vs. 16 year-olds. The younger kids would go first; meaning 6 and 7's, then the winner would run with the eights, winner in 9's, ECT.(FWI everyone is as old as they are in the end of Fang) In the first group there were 2 girls and 2 guys, so no one had to run twice. It was Angel and Susan vs. Coleman and Eli. As soon as David said go, it was obvious who was going to win. Angel had shot a good 20 meters in front of everyone, and she didn't even seem to be going as fast as she could! I myself was impressed with the kid, she finished in first with 39 seconds, then Coleman in second with 56, and Susan and Eli came in last. Meaning Angel moved up with the 8's. The 8 year-olds heat included Angel and Halley, racing for the girls, and Derek and Darrin for the boys. Even racing kids a year older than her, Angel still had it off to a huge start, and still beat everyone by over 10 seconds. The thing was, as I looked around, no one seemed surprised to see a girl be moving up 2 groups above her. I did kinda feel bad for the kids though, they really never had a chance. In the heat for 9 year-olds, there were a few faces I didn't recognize, but I did see Gazzy step up, and I noticed most people started paying attention. I myself was wondering if the whole Martenz family had the great running skills. Emma started them off this time, and Angel again, had a great start, even though Gazzy sped through even faster than her, in 35 seconds! They boys went CRAZY, they were probably happy to have someone finally moving on. SO Gazzy, just like his sister, easily sped through the 10 and 11 age groups, and again, just like his sister, was beat in the 12's by Nudge, with a time of 29 seconds. Nudge sped through the 13 and 14's, and when she hit 15, I was a bit worried, I mean, I knew I could run fast, but I honestly didn't want to draw attention to myself. 15 was the largest group, since we were also the oldest group and we had to run 2 heats, Nudge, Lila, JJ and Nate would run first.

"And… GO!" Emma started them off. It was a decently tied match, with of course Nudge winning. Meaning it was up to Nudge and I to win this for the girls. I of course had complete confidence in myself; I figured I could run fast enough to beat at least Iggy. Fang on the other hand, was looking at me with a 'bring it on' look, which I happily returned. For the final race, Emma used a flag to start us, make it more formal, you know? I could imagine a sports announcer in my head right now.

"And the green flag is up…. and there off!"

As soon as the flag went down, we all sprinted off. I wasn't really paying attention to anything but racing, until I realized all the girls were cheering for me. I looked over to find Nudge in last behind with Iggy, and Fang, uh, Fang running right here next to me!

I thought about it, you know, winning for the girls and proving to all the sexist pigs out there girls rule, or blend in and be the normal one.

"Oh well," I thought to myself. "Screw blending in." I ran, full force and sped past Fang and over the finish line.

"AND MAX IS OUR WINNER, WITH A NEW RECORD OF 19 SECONDS!" David screamed over the kids. Meaning the girls who were cheering so hard they sounded like fans at a baseball game. It was very painful to hear, especially with my –ahem- enhanced hearing. Well, that sure was interesting. We had eh, 1 minute to congratulate everyone, until kickball started. How I knew it would be kickball you ask? Well, A- most of the girls HATE football, and B- They….

"We pick kickball to be the next sport in the games." Well, that's B. And guess what?! Girls kick first, so, like, yey us! (Sarcasm anyone?) Well, anyways, we started off to a half decent lead, 4-0, which the boys quickly passed, 4-7, which, we soon smothered in the dirt, 13-7, until the guys matched us 13-13, and on the last inning, with 2 outs, 2 on base, it was all up to Fang to win for the guys, which of course, he did, since he kicked it to the gossip girls, Jordan, Kayla, Amber, and Rachel. (I'm sorry if I used anyone's real names, but when I think gossip, I think them) Meaning, they dropped it, meaning the boys got someone in before we got another person out. Meaning Fang was now a superhero in the guy's minds. But ignoring the guys win, which tied up the main scores, the best part was about to come. Meaning in about 10 seconds we would get called in for...

"LUNCH!" Was yelled across the yard, and I mean really people, could you act like a stampede anymore?! And so as everyone flew past me, I soon, realized I was left on the fields with only Fang for company, again. I swear, the universe is trying to kill me today, I mean really? Like "Hello? Anyone home? I'm supposed to be mad at this kid, stop making me talk to him!" And then of course, the universe actually heard me, and sent Fang over during my silent rant, proving my point.

"Hey." I said to Max, who happily ignored me. "Aw is little Maxie gonna cry since she lost?" O sh!t, wrong thing to say. I think that made her mad.

"No I am not gonna frickin cry, I haven't cried in so long I can't remember and I'm not gonna break that record because some idiot beat me in a game!" O yep, definitely mad.

"Hey, Max come back I was really just kidding, come on, please come back!"

"NO! Get away from me!" And with that she stormed into the house. Well, that ended well.

I'm so sorry, you all hate me, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry I haven't updated. I just didn't have time this summer to write like I thought I would, and this year has been so dramatic and everything. Also I have lost some of my obsession to the series, but I still like it; so I'm still gonna do this. I can't even say when I'll be able to update, I have a lot going on between friends and school and well, life.
