Max's POV
Dinner was a normal affair at our table tonight. There was singing, (and not just the dinner song (coughapronshanecough (check out my channel on you tube miss.Ceilidh92!!!))) chatting, and large amounts of food consumed by all (me and Mel). We were all talking about what we were wearing, and although I had the top I came in, I didn't have anything suitable for the occasion. When I figured that I would just wear it anyway, I didn't know how wrong I was. As soon as I put it on, and came out of the bathroom stall, The other girls (and for some inexplicable reason, Danni) ran into the bathroom. " Now, girl, you know that just won't do!" Em practically shouted. The others quickly agreed, and made me change into something "better" loaning me what I didn't have myself, and doing my make up for me (I usually don't carry any with me, it doesn't fit in my pack, but they made me wear some). In the end, I actually did look kinda nice. But still, totally not worth going through that kind of torture every day. Not over my dead, rotting, riddled-full-of-bullet-holes body.
That can be arrangedthe voice (almost) cheerfully put in.
Shut up, I thought I was supposed to save the world.
No reply.
Anyway, as soon as I got to main camp, I started looking for the flock instinctively, before I realized that only regular campers were aloud, because the Bernie's were having their own carnival. So that left only Fang and Iggy. They were both standing right next to the bandstand, and I was about to head over there, when I noticed a girl hanging on to his arm as if she were practically glued there. I waited for him to shake her off, or try to get away, but he just stood there, looking around for someone. Me. I realized as soon as his eyes looked on mine. He half-smiled, and looked back down at her. My raptor vision picked out their nametags. They were both upside-down, and the horrible truth hit me. Like a ton of bricks. They were going to the dance. Together. I staggered backwards, as though struck, then turned tail, and ran into the woods.
Fang's POV
I waited nervously by the bandstand, wondering what to tell Max, so that she wouldn't hate me. It had been so stupid of me to say yes to that Abby girl. (she was currently clutching at my arm, complaining bitterly about the no PDAs policy) But if Max didn't flip out, then things would be a whole lot better. But I was kind of hoping that she would.
Then she might actually like me back. Suddenly, I saw her, walking towards us, out of the woods. Her friend was quite pretty, but Max, Max looked… well, amazing just wouldn't cover it. Ravishing, radiant, bewitching, and drop dead gorgeous were closer to the mark. Then our eyes locked for a second, and she turned on her heel, and ran, tears streaming down her face. Her friend saw us, walked up to me, and whacked me upside the head. "Hey what was that for?" I asked. "You idiot! Do you not realize what you've just done?" I shook my head. "You just broke her heart! She's been hopping that you'd ask her to the dance, and now you're going with this." She said jerking her head at Abby.
"Hey! She has a name!" I protested. "whatever… Jeff, do you think you could help me find Max?" he nodded, and went off. I started to follow, when Mel pushed me back. "Don't you think you've hurt her enough already?" She walked off without waiting for an answer. Now I was left to spend the rest of the evening with Abby. Great.
