How's it going? Haha here's another chapter…IN FANG'S POV! YAY! Enjoy :)


Looks Like I'm in a Band

Fang's POV

All the guys at school stared at Max as if she were a piece of meat, it was disgusting. I don't know why I was so protective of Max. She is my best friend, and nothing more. I've only known her for 2 days but, it's like she's been my friend for my whole life.

There aren't many girls like her out there. She's the type of girl who hates wearing skirts and that's what makes her one of my best friends. She isn't afraid to be herself. At my old school all the girls clung to me like glue and I hated it.

I was walking to first bell with Max when she suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me into an abandoned classroom.

"Fang. Tell me what's wrong." she said, in a tell-me-now tone. "You're like my best friend and those guys made me upset by treating you like a play toy." I told her the truth because I knew she wouldn't judge me.

She rolled her beautiful chocolate brown eyes and said, "Don't worry Fang. You're my best friend too, and I'll let you kick any guy's butt for being a sexist pig as long as you leave me a piece. Deal?" she held out her hand for me to shake, which I took. Immediately, a shock coursed through the veins in my arm. It was the best feeling in the world and made me smile. I can't believe it, I actually full out smiled. What was wrong with me? Whenever I was around Max, I had the urge to smile all the time. It was so new to me but, I loved it.

Max snapped me out of my trance by saying we were going to be late. I agreed and we headed off to Mr. Banner's class.

"Good morning class. Today we are going to start a project. Now don't worry because it's all review. You will partner up with someone, of your choice, and create a game that helps one learn about the periodic table. It has to be original and creative. Also, it can be based on a popular game like jeopardy or wheel of fortune. You can bring in props and what not. This will be due next Wednesday."Mr. Banner announced.

This would be easy. My easiest part of science class last year was when we learned about the periodic table. I really understood the concept well and would most likely get an A on this project.

"Hey Fang you wanna be partners?" asked Max. I figured I'd play with her a little and said, "No thanks. I'll be working solo." She seemed a little hurt and turned away from me. Oh no, what if she thought I wasn't kidding?

"I was kidding Max. I'd love for you to be my partner. Please forgive me." I said, adding on the Bambi eyes. She looked at me from the corner of her eyes and smiled.

"Geeze Fang. You are so gullible. And yes I forgive you. So, what game do you want to do?" I honestly had no idea. "I don't know. I guess we could do a game like jeopardy. We could have flashcards with questions on them." I suggested.

"Ooh! I got it! We could have a wheel with different points on them, and 5 different flash card colors. A different color has a different amount of points. We could keep track of who gets the most points. You get points for answering the question correctly. Whoever gets the most points wins." She sounded really excited about this, and I couldn't help but get excited too.

"That sounds like a great idea. I can make the wheel out of the cardboard boxes we used when we moved." I responded. She agreed and we started writing down questions for our project for the rest of the bell.

The rest of the day went uneventful and was pretty boring if I do say so myself.

After seventh bell Max and I walked to our lockers. "What's up guys?" someone asked from behind us. We turned around to see Iggy, Ella, and Gazzy standing in the middle of the hallway. "You ready for band practice Max?" asked Gazzy.

"You bet I am. Hold on, let me grab my stuff and we'll go." She said.

Once she grabbed all of the necessary things needed for her homework we headed home. Max and I let fell behind a little bit.

"I didn't know you had a band. I thought we were best friends. I'm offended." I pretended to put on a disappointed look to sell my act a bit more.

"Very funny Fang. And yes, we have a band. But, we haven't gotten any gigs yet. Gazzy on drums, Iggy on bass, Ella on violin, and me on lead guitar. We all sing a song every once in a while. Hey, you should play with us! You could be on piano." She suggested.

"We'll have to see what the rest of the band sees about that now won't we?" I said. Then we reached our street.

When we got inside Max went straight for the kitchen. She saw a plate of cookies on the counter, grabbed five, and headed to the basement. No, it wasn't a basement. It was a music room! There was a stage, a set of drums, a piano, and three guitars in stands lined up against the wall.

"Hey guys, I asked Fang if he wanted to play along with us. Would you mind if he played piano?" she asked. "Not at all. But, of course he'll have to audition." said Iggy.

"No problem." I said, and went to the piano and started playing. (The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars)


Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up
Then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gonna tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch,
Just chillin' in my snuggie
Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
Oh, oh

Yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out: 'This is Great'
(Oh my god, this is great)
Yeah

I might mess around, get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait
Oh, oh

Yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eah

Oh
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all


Once I was finished I was met by a round of cheers of applause. "Dude, you are so in." said Gazzy. Looks like I'm in a band.


And there it is! Fang's POV. It was kind of hard because I'm a girl, and he isn't. I had to channel my inner guy but, I made it! Woohoo!
