Hey guys. Second chapter for today hope you like it.

Max's POV
"Ugh, I feel awful." I said when I woke up this morning. Fang was sat on the floor of his living room staring up at me. I would never admit this to anyone but it was pleasant to wake up looking at his face.
"Morning Sunshine. Your phone buzzed at a round eleven this morning. Sam wants to meet up at four o'clock." He said leaning back.
My stomach grumbled. "Okay, what time is it now?"
"Half four." Said Fang amused.
"WHAT? I slept for seventeen hours? Please say that you texted him to tell him that I was still asleep?" Please, please, please. I crossed my fingers.
"Nope." He put the emphasis on the p, "He thinks that you stood him up." Just on time my phone stated to ring.
I picked it up and said "Hello?" Even to me I still sounded groggy.
"Hey Max. Where are you? We were supposed to meet up half an hour ago!"
"I'm soooooo sorry! I've basically only just woken up like two seconds ago."
"It's half four." He said in a disappointed voice.
"No shit sherlock! I fell asleep on Fang's couch. We were babysitting Angel and I just flopped onto the couch unwillingly."
"Oh. You still coming down to the skate park?"
"One sec..." I moved the phone away from my ear and put him on hold. "Hey Mom?"
"Hi Max. Are you okay? Have you just woken up?"
"Yeah. I was just wonderin' if I could go to the skate park to meet Sam?"
"oh. No sorry hun. We're going out with the rides in about an hour. We're going out for dinner to celebrate the start of your highschool life."
"'Kay Mom. I'll be back soon." I hung up on her and went back to Sam. "Hey Sam. Sorry I can't. I'm going out with my family and the Rides."
"Oh. It's cool. I'll see you in school tomorrow then?"
"Yeah, see ya Sam." I hung up and turned to Fang, "I'm going home to get ready." I said standing.
"No need. Nudge brought some of your stuff round for you. They're in my room. You can use my shower if you want."
"Thanks." I walked up the stairs sleepily to his room. I went straight to the bathroom and pulled a towel out of the cupboard. I stepped into the warm shower and realized that I didn't have any shampoo and shower gel with me. I ended up using Fang's. When I was finished I stepped out of the bathroom and into Fang's room. I was thankful to Nudge and Ella for giving me nice clothes to wear. I had purple skinny jeans and a black button down shirt that clung to my curves. I then had black converse that a jammed my feet into. I threw the towel into his black washing bin and walked out.
"Hi Max!"Said Angel when she saw me coming down the stairs. She was stood in the doorway looking at her Mom two seconds ago. Now she was sprinting towards me. I was at the end of the stairs by then and I put my arms out just as she leaped into them. "Max? You smell funny!" She said smelling me and then smelling my hair. "Fang! Come here!" She shouted. Ouch!
"Hey Ange, What's up?" He said coming up to us and kissing Angel on her fore head. She grabbed a handful of his hair and dragged his head to her nose. "Ow Angel Geroff."
"I knew it!" She said smiling.
"Knew what?" I asked for me and Fang.
"You smell like Fang! Are you two like together or something like that? Nudge said that you two would be perfect together I agree. Max. How did you get to smell so much like him?" Oh god! This child was starting to take after Nudge. I was going to kill her when I got home.
"No Angel we aren't together. Don't listen to a word Nudge says. I smell like Fang because I borrowed his shampoo." I said to her really annoyed with Nudge now.
"Oh right. You smell nice but go back to your natural smell soon please?"
"Sure Angel. I don't want to smell like a boy anyway." I said teasingly. In actual fact I thought I smelt nice. Very nice.
"Good!" I put her on the ground and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed an apple and I was about to turn around when I felt someone's breath on the back of my neck making me flinch a little. I turned around very slowly to see Fang laughing silently behind me.
"You're eating? We're going out for pizza in twenty minutes!" He said.
"Yeah, you forgot that I haven't eaten in like ages. I missed breakfast and lunch!"
"Oh yeah..." I could tell that he wanted to say something else but his Mom walked in holding some groceries.
***Thirty Minutes Later.***
I slipped out of Fang's Mom's car and waited for Fang, Angel, Mr. R and Mrs. R to get out. My mom was taking Ella, Nudge, Gazzy and Iggy. I saw a black SUV park in a space just down the parking lot from us. When Fang was out we walked down to the car together whilst the adults and Angel went to get us a table. Nudge stepped out first and the others followed suit. "Hey guys" I said when they were out.
"Oh my god! Are you two holding hands?" Asked Nudge looking at us.
"No." I said shocked. I looked down and saw that our hands were right next to each other and it looked like we were holding hands. I moved a little to the left whilst Fang moved a little to the right. Awkward.
"Awwww. That would have been so cute!" Said Ella stepping out of the car. Mom went to the boot and took out some bags.
"What's that Mom?" I asked looking at the bag.
"You'll see later." She said walking over to the restaurant.
"Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me..." I said over and over again.
"Max! Be patient. Hello. We are with Gareth Ride." Mom said to the woman that was taking people to their seats.
"Ah yes. Follow me please." She walked over to a table right at the back of the restaurant where Mr and Mrs R were sat talking and Angel was sat at the opposite end of the table.
We all sat around the ten seat table. Me, Fang, Iggy and Gazzy were sat on one side Mom, Mr and Mrs. R and Angel were sat on the other and Nudge and Ella were sat at one end of the tables Ella was next to Angel and Nude was sat next to Gazzy. The waitress gave us a menu each and said, "My name is Lizzie and I will be your waitress for tonight." She said pushing her boobs out at Fang.
I was snickering beside him when she walked away. "What?" He asked me.
"Is that what you get everywhere you go? All of the teenagers showing you there boobs?"I asked trying to stop laughing at his face this time.
"Welcome to my world." He said sending me a half smile. Holy Shit! He is hoooooottttttt! Shut up Max!
I silently was having an argument with my brain when Fang asked, "Max? Are you okay?"
"What? Yeah. Just having a little argument with my brain." I said blushing, "I mean... I wasn't having an argument with my brain... I was..."
"Of course Max, just come up with excuses for your retardedness."
"That's not even a word!"
"It is now!"
"No it's not. It's not in the English dictionary!"
"How do you know. Prove it! Right now." He said thinking I couldn't do it. Pah.
"Nudge? Have you got that English dictionary with you today?" I looked at her. Everyone else turned to her looking confused as she got a big Oxford English Dictionary out of her bag. "Thank you." I said as she passed it down.
"Why do you have a dictionary in your bag?" Asked Gazzy.
"Because you never know what you might need when you're out." She said as if it was normal.
"Isn't it heavy?" Asked Iggy.
"Nah not really. I'm quite strong you know! I do shop!" She said as I turned back to the dictionary finding the word retardedness in the dictionary.
"I told you! You were wrong I was right!" I did a little happy dance.
"Ugh!" He said and was quiet for another ten minutes while I rambled on about random crap.
"A little quiet aren't we Fang?" I asked.
"Humph" He said and sighed.
"Is this all because I beet you?" I asked.
"Mmmmhmmmm"
"Talk!"
He shook his head at me. The waitress came back over for the orders.
"What would you like to order?" She said showing a little too much cleavage.
"Er... Max would you like to go first?" Mom said and the girl turned towards Fang when she said my name.
"Yeah sure." The girl looked back at me confused. She probably has a pea instead of a brain. "Er... Can I have a large meat feast pizza with stuffed crust and a coke please." The girl looked shocked.
"Er.. You do realize that the pizza that family over there are eating is the large?" She said pointing to a massive pizza that was being shared between five of them.
"Yes. Your point?" I asked smiling sweetly. She muttered something under her breath about calories and then turned to Fang.
"What would you like to order?" She tried to sound sexy but failed as I held back a laugh again.
"Er... I'll have the same as my friend here. But a Pepsi Max please." He said and turned back to me and whispered just loud enough for her to hear "She's such a slut." I couldn't contain my laughter any more and just started laughing out loud with Fang smiling slightly when he saw the face of the waitress. No manners.
"I'll have a medium pizza with everything on top and a stuffed crust!" Said Iggy, "Oh and can I have a J2O Orange and passion fruit."
"I'll have the same." Said Gazzy.
"We'll have two margarita pizzas with stuffed crust and two large 7UP's please." Nudge ordered for herself and Ella.
"Can we have a large margarita with extra ham for us four to share." Said Mr. R. "And can I have a pint of beer please."
"I'll have a glass of white wine." Said Mrs. R
"Make that two." My Mom said next, "What about you sweetie?" Mom asked Angel.
"Can I have a big glass of orange juice?" Asked Angel looking adorable.
"Is that all?" Lizzie asked.
"No. Can we have five baskets of garlic bread as well." I asked her.
"Sure." Then she walked off.
"Max!" My Mom said at the same time as Fang's Mom said, "Fang!"
"What?" We both said confused at the same time.
"You ordered a large each? And then you asked for five lots of four garlic breads. You'll explode!" My mom said sternly.
"Mom. This is me we're talking about. I was the winner of a pie eating contest for adults at the age of six!" I said to her.
"Haha! I remember that day!" Said Nudge. "It was hilarious you should have seen the guys face! He threw up several times and Max still had ten more pies and a pizza after that!" She looked at me. "How do you not gain weight?" She asked me curiously.
"My metabolism is a wonderful thing that scientists have tried to experiment on. It's true. One of dad's work colleagues asked if he could see why I was so thin yet ate so much. You should have seen Moms face when he asked. Priceless." I said looking at her sweetly.
We all broke apart having different conversations. The adults having one about wine tasting, Nudge, Ella and sometimes Angel having a conversation about fashion, Gazzy and Iggy were talking about bombs and bacon (rather strange mix I know) and me and Fang were having an argument as to who could eat the most and then play on Dance Dance revolution without throwing up. Good times good time.
Our pizza's came and we stuffed our faces with it and the garlic bread. It was delicious! I was half way round when I finally looked up from my pizza. Everyone was at the half way point. Me and Fang were racing and on the same slice of pizza. I had had one more piece of garlic bread then he had though so I was wining. We finished me first, then Fang, the adults, Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge and last Ella.
"Mom?" I asked.
"What?" She replied sounding worried.
"Can we have pudding now? I saw a hot chocolate fudge cake that's calling my name over there." I said pointing in the direction of the puddings. Everyone's jaw dropped and eyes widened. "What?"
"How can you still eat?" Asked Mr. R.
"I'm up for it." Said Fang next to me.
"Max. You and Fang are as bad as each other." Said Mrs. R
"So..." We asked at the same time putting our Bambi eyes on
"What?" All of the adults said.
"Can we?" It was creepy when we did it. But it was fun.
"N-Fine!" Said Mom after seeing our faces. Me and Fang high fived and the waitress, Lizzie, came back over.
"Is that it?" She asked.
"No. Can we look at the deserts menu?" I asked and her eyes opened wider.
"er..." She said picking up some plates. "Yeah." She took the plates and returned with the menus for us to look through. "Here you go."
"Thank you." Me and Fang said simultaneously.
We ordered. Me and Fang got the hot chocolate fudge cake. Nudge and Gazzy were sharing the profiteroles. Awww. Iggy was having the vanilla cheesecake. His parents were having strawberry cheesecake, Mom and Ella were both having the strawberry tart and Angel was having three scoops of mint chock chip ice cream.
When Lizzie walked off to get our order the adults stood up and said that they had something to give us as starting presents for highschool.
"Oh! So that's what was in the bag!" Yay! I love presents. We were all given a bag of gifts each.
In my bag I had several wrapped presents. The first present was a bag that went across my body. It was black with purple strips across it. It also said MAX in the middle in purple. I had a pair of earrings with wings on them and another pair of earring that said M on them. I got a watch that was like on a brown string that felt leathery from Pandora and then I had a bracelet to match it and a Buddha charm that had come off Nudge and Ella because of my obsession with Buddha's. (They are so cute!) "OH MY GOD THANKYOU GUYS! I love the bracelet it is amazing look Fang!" I said showing him.
"Cool." He said lamely.
"It's awesome!" I commented.
"er..If you say so." He said awkwardly
"Ugh!" I said putting my head on my left hand
"It's a bracelet." He said like it was unimportant.
"But it's cool!" I disagreed
"It's still just a bracelet!" he said bored
"An expensive bracelet with a Buddha!"Come on that's important people
"Still just a bracelet!" he repeats himself too much
"With a Buddha!"I commented
"..."
"IT'S A BUDDAH ON AN AWESOME BRACELET!" I almost screamed at him
"..."
"You're so … ungirly. You're supposed to get these things!" I sighed
"You should know that I'm ungirly by now." He stated
"Douche bag!"I muttered
"It's a piece of string! Idiot freaking over a piece of string." He repeated yet again
"It's not a piece of string it's an amazing expensive bracelet with A BUDDHA" How many times?
"A piece of string with a bit of silver." Come one!
"Yeah silver!" He didn't talk. "A silver bloody Buddha!"
"..." After a while he said, "Really don't see the point." I threw my hands up in the air showing how annoyed I was. "Idiot!" He said.
"You're annoying!" I stated the obvious fact
"That's what I do best!" I ignored him until our food came and then I ignored him some more. It was starting to piss him off because he kept on nudging me.
"Piss off!" I muttered under my breath so that my Mom couldn't hear.
"Is this about the string... bracelet thing?" He asked confused
"Yes!"I said pissed
"Sorry." I still didn't talk. "What do you want me to do?"
"Wear it tomorrow for school!" I said. Brilliant
"Fine!" He said annoyed.
"Thank-you!" I said and hugged him. After a minute or so he hugged me back and then we let go of each other. Now everyone was staring at us. Not again!
So me and my friend actually had this argument and this is how I expect her to apologise but you are not having it for school! Not even for one day. It is not a stupid piece of string it is my present off my mum for doing well in our exams I think (: I will get an apology. Thanks for reading guys hope you liked it.
R&R?
