Max just sat there with Fang's lips pressed against hers. It was kind of like a shock that started in her mouth and traveled through her body, but there was a bit of of guilt. She had just broken up with Dylan. And now she is sitting here lip locked with Fang. This was so wrong, but it felt so wrong.
Max pushed Fang away. As she pulled away she saw a look of disappointment and sadness cross Fang's face, but as soon as it appear it was gone. "Sorry, That was my fault", Max said as she looked down at her shoes.
"S'okay", he replied rubbing the back of his neck.
"It is just that me and Dylan ended and...and I need to think about what I'm gonna do. The kiss wasn't bad. I just need to think some more. It feels a little wrong but-", Max mumbled.
Fang cut her off, "Max you sound like my sister". She smiled at Fang.
"Soo, where exactly did Fang come from?", Max asked smirking at Fang.
He shrugged. 'So I guess there will be no more talking for this one' Max thought.
Soon enough they got off the ferris wheel. They were met by Nudge. "You two are early. I wonder where Ella and Iggy are. We were meeting here at nine. Right? I really could have stayed with my friends longer instead of waiting for these two. Oh Max! I met this cute boy that goes to your school. His name was Sloan. He was hot. Thank god I'll be starting school with you tomorrow. I wish we-", Nudge rambled before Max cut her off.
"Your starting my school tomorrow?", she asked Nudge. Nudge just rolled her eyes and babbled on about how it is rude to cut people off. Max turned to Fang giving him a questioning look. "You too, Fang?". He smirked and nodded. Max was happy they she would get to hang out with the two more often, but with Fang coming to school with Dylan things were bound to get interesting.
"Sorry we took so long", Iggy came up laughing hand in hand with Ella. Max flashed Ella a we-need-to-talk look. Ella nodded.
"What took so long?", Nudge asked.
Iggy smiled then said, "Ella wanted to win a goldfish". Ella blushed and looked at her shoes. Iggy continued, "We finally won one, fifteen dollars later".
"Wow Ella. Well where is the fifteen dollar fish?", Max asked taunting her sister.
"We have to pick it up at the entrance", Ella answered ignoring Max's teasing.
They all walked to the entrance. Soon enough they saw the big Enter sign. Near the entrance was a dingy looking kiosk with a bored looking teenager. The sign on the stand read 'Goldfish'. Ella and Max walked up to the boy and his face started to lighten up as they got closer. Max could see the boy looking at Ella and her with a excited look. A little too excited. They walked up and handed him the ticket Ella received for winning the game. The boy didn't even notice Max's hand with the ticket, he was a little too busy looking at other parts of her body. 'Great, there is no better way to end a horrible night than with a pervert' Max thought.
She slammed the ticket down on the counter. He stopped staring and glared at Max, like she had ruined his night. "Pick anyone you want, Sweetheart", the boy said smiling at Ella. She obviously hadn't noticed the way he looked at her and she started to examine the fish.
She pointed to a large goldfish the size of a fist, "This one". It was a reddish color with gold scales. Max could swear it was the ugliest fish she ever saw.
"Ella it looks gross", Max said bluntly.
"If I don't take it no one will", Ella replied. She had the heart of an angel, but the common sense of a five year old.
"Fine, but do not come crying to me when it dies in the car ride home", Max told Ella.
Ella just turned to the boy and pointed at the ugly fish, "This one, thank you".
The boy sighed and smiled lustfully at Ella, "Sure, babe". Max was about to say something to the ignorant little boy when Iggy walked up to the stand. The boy turned around with the fish in his hand smiling, to greet Ella Max guessed. His smile fell when he saw Iggy. Iggy just smirked and grabbed the bag, "What no smile for me?". The boy grunted. Iggy winked at him and took Ella's hand. He didn't let go until they got to the car.
Max was a little concerned. Iggy was a player and Ella was her sister. She had enough on her plate already. She handle watching Ella and Iggy right now. And she definitely didn't need her sister with a broken heart caused by her best friend.
They all loaded into Fang's car. Nudge sat in the passenger and Fang drove. Max sat between Iggy and Ella on the back seat. They were about halfway home when Iggy leaned closer to Max, his strawberry blonde hair tickling her face. "So you and Nick?", he whispered to her wiggling his eyebrows. She playfully punched his arm.
"Nothing going on there", Max whispered.
Iggy gave her a sarcastic sure. Before he turned around she whispered, "You and my sister. Explain". Iggy just blushed and slid far as far as he could from Max. The rest of the ride went by quietly.
Fang dropped Ella and Max off and left to drive Iggy home. Max walked up stairs to her room and called Ella to join her,
"Listen, we need to talk", Max said.
