Hi everyone! Straight on to review replies, I'll talk about my life and this chapter at the end of it.
Thisiscorinth – That's the point.
MissSemi-Dependent - dude I got so scared. I had a 38% in math at one point because my teacher hadn't put my test grade in so I had a 0% on it and that dropped my grade all the way from an 81%. DUDE SEUSSICAL IS AMAZING though I'm sure I've already told you that… I love Wicked with most of my heart. In fact, I'm wearing my Wicked sweatshirt at the moment. And we get to sing For Good and I'm just so excited and ahhhhhhh
CakeIsAGoodFriend – I've always wanted to go there. In fact, I'm thinking about going to college in Cali somewhere. That won't happen for years but still.
UnicornLover – aww, you're so nice! I was born in America and so were my parents, but my dad's grandad was an immigrant from Germany. Dude you live in Egypt? That's so cool! I mean, the political situation there is a bit suckish at the moment, but you have mummies and pyramids and stuff. I love Egyptian history.
Mister Moronic – okay seriously dude. Where the heck do you get such a vocabulary? You sound all posh talking about "prestidigitations" whatever that means, and then you use fanfic slang and it's just odd. Anyways, the Philippines sound neat. My dad almost went there, had a flight booked and everything, but then the whole trip was cancelled. I dunno why.
My-Username-Suck14 – 'Murica. Oh yeah. Haha I did that at school the other day, except I was running and screaming but not singing that song… people were staring and it was hilarious.
TheseWordsSpeak – I'm updating, even though it's been over a month. I'm really sorry that I don't update frequently, but once school's out I should be able to update more often over the summer.
Maxride227 – I don't have a job…. That would be child labor and that's illegal…
Raisa ana' Mariana – me too. I wish I could update sooner L
Guest – tell Mr. Tumnus I said hi!
Guest – I've been to Ohio. It's pretty ish. A bit boring.
Illovebooks – read below to find out :P and they knew it was hers because… well… you'll find out.
MSPJO22 – Max and Thalia would realllllly butt heads, and then be best friends. Like her and Nico. They're all a lot alike, Max and Thalia and Nico and Fang, I think. Except Nico's twelve.
On to the chapter!
I stood in the back teacher's parking lot, staring in shock at my car.
Or, at least, what was my car. Whoever had taken my car last night – because I definitely didn't do this myself – had completely and utterly vandalized it.
"Oh my God," I muttered under my breath. Who the hell thinks they can do this to my baby? My car is absolutely demolished. It's almost as if they followed Carrie Underwood's path because everything she did in her song was done to my car, plus more.
Lights bashed in? Check.
Doors keyed? Check.
Popped tires? Looks like it.
And my cloth seats were looking like they had bust open, but it was pretty obviously sliced open multiple times with a knife.
Not to mention the smashed in front windows and eggs cracked on the windshield. Someone had done this on purpose, but who? I'd only been for a day, I couldn't have made enemies here already! Could I have? I mean, I know I'm not the nicest person, and I take pride in that. But honestly, I thought I would've been at least approachable before people automatically hating me.
Unless…
Lissa.
~!O!~
"I cannot believe that stupid fricking biotch," I said, slamming my lunch tray down on the table next to Nudge and CeCe. The latter seemed a slight bit surprised at my sudden outburst, but Nudge only raised an eyebrow in question, being used to it after years of being my friend.
"Someone vandalized my fricking car! It's totaled… there's no way I have enough money to fix it even if that's possible. Ugh," I grumbled, slamming my head on the table, "and today started off somewhat well even!" I sat up and threw my hands into the air before slamming them back on the table and viciously stabbing my food.
I think it was fettuccine, but you can never be sure with cafeteria food.
"whoa whoa whoa, what's going on here?" I heard Iggy's voice say as he reached our table with his own tray of synthesized crap to eat.
"I think Max needs to calm down," a smooth, low voice said from behind him, also behind me.
Oh yeah. I forgot about Fang… time to bring on the awkward.
What are you talking about, awkward? This is only the second day you've known him!
Shut up, Voice. No one asked you.
If you say so…
I snapped back into reality just in time to realize that Iggy and Fang had taken their seats – Iggy next to CeCe, Fang across from me.
Oh dear, here we go…
"So…" he said, shovelling gruel into his mouth. "How've you guys' day been?"
"My fricking car was vandalized and I don't know who did it… I mean, I have a hunch, but it's not like I can just spirit off and interrogate her…" I sighed, still stabbing my food. I didn't really have much of an appetite left.
"that explains it," he nodded. He shoveled even more food down his throat. I raised an eyebrow, but Iggy answered for him.
"Why you were throwing a hissy fit when we arrived," he spat out through a mouth shoved full of food, spewing a bit on the table.
Now, I may be a slob, but I'm still a girl. And that's just nasty.
"don't talk with your mouth full," CeCe said with a disgusted look on her face.
"I second that, although I may occasionally break that rule." I put my hand in the air before taking another bite of whatever the heck was for lunch. I still hadn't figured it out.
"Poor Maxie doesn't want to be a hypocrite, does she?" Iggy smiled sarcastically in my direction. I stuck my tongue out at him.
I swallowed first, don't worry.
MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER PEOPLE GOSH!
"Whatever. I have a pretty good idea of who did it and she is getting hell later. On to more interesting topics. Who all has to perform at the Autumn Showcase for Mrs. Ottwein?" I asked.
Everyone raised their hands, even Fangles. Who knew he took a singing class?
"Sure am," Iggy said. "I think I'll end up singing something with Tooth here and then maybe playing a song on one of my instruments. Who knows what'll happen?" he shrugged.
"Well, I'm keeping my songs secret," CeCe said as she sipped some lemonade.
Or is it urine? You never know with this place.
You've only been going to this school for two days.
Oh, stop criticizing me!
"we didn't say anything," Fang pointed out with a wary glance across the table at me.
"What?" I asked stupidly.
"You just said,'oh stop criticizing me!' like someone was making fun of you or something, Max. are you okay, there? Maybe all that makeup Ella's caked on your face is getting to your brain! Oh no! We need to call Poison Control, in that case. Does anyone have their num-" Nudge was cut off by Iggy's hand slapping over her mouth.
"You need to learn when to shut up as badly as Hermione in A Very Potter Musical." He shook his head. A second later, he tensed up. "Licking my hand's not gonna work, squirt."
"dnmt cmll mmmm skweit!" she struggled to get out of his grasp. He just laughed.
"What was that?" he kept laughing, but she finally got out of his grip and slapped him upside the head and then excused herself to go wash out her mouth from licking his hand.
These people are amazing.
I am so sorry I made you wait two entire months for this crappy filler of a chapter. It sucks. But here's the good thing: I AM OFFICIALLY OUT OF SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER! And holy crap, I'm gonna be a freshman… damn, that's scary. Anyways, TheHerondaleGirl and I have a joint account that we are currently writing a TMI story on. The account is ThemPeskyParsnips if you wanna go check it out J and hopefully since I am now out of school for the summer, I will be able to update more. The beginning of August you won't get a schedule, telling you that already. But I hoped you liked this chapter!
Any ideas/concepts you would like to add? I'm getting a bit of writer's block. Should I add in Angel and Gazzy? Should I bring Brigid into the picture more?
Thanks so much for reading! You guys are amazing, and please review! It would mean a ton J
