Nudge grinned evilly at me,

"So you and my brother then?" She asked casually,

"WHAT?" I asked,

"Well it is just so obvious that you like, sorry luuuuuuuuuve him!"She smirked,

"I do not" I replied sharply,

"Right, so what would have happened if I had burst in" She wiggled her eyebrows, "And the closet" Her eyebrows wiggled more,

"That was a dare" I snapped,

"Right, "She smirked, "Now let's begin,"

As soon as the makeup brush touched my face I stopped struggling, I knew it was no use,

You just couldn't stop Nudge, when she was like this...

But why the hell was she like this, I was going to the cinema with my dance partner, who I would never date in a million years, ever?

So why as she gone into Crazy Nudge mode? Dylan couldn't think this was a date,

COULD HE?

Chapter 9:

Max POV:

Nudge unstrapped me from the chair, then forced me into the bathroom, and shoved the clothes into my hand...

I couldn't be bothered to study the clothes in great detail, and I was putting them on, careful not to mess up my hair I got changed and walked out of the bathroom. Still horrified at the thought of me and Dylan going on a date... Gross...

And Nudge gasped and dropped the pair of converse in her hand,

"ZOMG! MAX YOU LOOK AMAZING! Dylan is gunna be tripping all over you, and Fang is gunna" I slapped my hand over her mouth,

"Not one more word" I growled, giving her my death glare, Nudge winced, what I told you it was good.

I looked in the mirror, and mentally agreed with Nudge, dancing all the time certainly has its perks...

I looked at the clock, 7:57, crap Dylan was picking me up at 8.

"Bye Nudge" I shouted running out of her room and down the stairs, I managed to slip and nearly fall down the stairs, but strong arms wrapped around my waist and caught me long before I could hit the ground.

"Thanks Tooth" I said blushing, and rushed out the door.

Dylan was just getting out of his car,

"Max, don't you live at that house" he said pointing to my house,

"Nudge" I replied and he nodded smiling...

"You look nice," He said,

"Thanks" and I walked over and got into the car...

"So does seeing Vampires Suck sound ok to you, then going for something to eat?" Dylan asked, as he drove off...

"That sounds great" I said trying to sound as un-awkward as possible,

"Cool and the rest of the drive we sat in silence...

Well isn't this great, and out of the corner of my eye I could see Dylan checking me out, this is not good... I mean, just omg... Why did I agree to this? It is just so awkward... I mean I could have been at my house staring at Tooth,

STOP BLOODY THINKING THAT! I MEAN FOR CRAP'S SAKE SNAP OUT OF IT MAX...

15 minutes later, we FINALLY pulled into the cinema (A/N Theatre for all you Americans out there),

"So, "I said and we got out of the car, and walked into the mall, it was absolutely mobbed, well it was a Friday night so what did I expect? And completely unfortunately for me Dylan grabbed my hand, so that we wouldn't get split up...

I'm so lucky aren't I? (Maxine 'Max/Maximum' Ride would please like the world to know that her last sentence was indeed a one of great sarcasm...)

He pulled me through the crowds as after being dance partners since freshman year he knows that I hate crowded spaces... (Wincing just thinking about them)

When we FINALLY arrived at the cinema, Dylan went up and bought the tickets after all my protests about how it was sexist; he then bought us each a large popcorn, large coke, and a bag of sweets.

Then we went in, he had got us back row seats, right in the middle, so that was good, I suppose.

The film well, it would have been amazing if I hadn't had to keep dodging his arm trying to go round me, and he kept trying to hold my hand. Can't he get the message already; I was slightly relieved when we finally got to leave, the film had started at 8:30, so it was over by 10:30 so I was glad that the mall had died down a bit...

As we were walking over towards the car, Dylan grabbed my hand and started pulling me somewhere.

"Dylan let go" I said struggling, but he was too strong

"No, no I have to show you something Max" he said gripping my wrist so tight it started to hurt and started to drag me along, as I tried to stand my ground.

"Let go" I said more fiercely, although I was starting to panic, he was dragging me along into a dark alley.

Why the fuck did I come out tonight.

I could be at home all snug in bed right now,

Or in my dance studio,

And not with my turned creep dance partner...

He finally had succeeded into dragging me into the dark alley and within seconds had pushed me up against the wall, and was kissing me roughly.

I felt violently sick, it was horrible, I tried to push him off as hard as I could and eventually I succeeded, but before I could run, he had be pressed be back against the wall.

Thankfully not kissing me,

"Dylan, stop it please" I begged,

"But why Maxie, I love you I've always loved you, every single day since the first time I saw you Max, I love you, and when we got paired up in dance it was the best day of my life, and you have to love me too Max, we are made for each other... Not that Nick Max, all he did was hurt you, I would never hurt you Max," and then he kissed me again, and before I knew it he was sticking his hands up my shirt... It was horrible...

Then sudden he was ripped off me by a hooded figure,

"Stay away from her" Dylan said,

"Me, you're the one who needs to stay away from her," A familiar voice growled, then punched Dylan straight in the face, he fell to the ground, blood squirting, clutching his face.

Then the hooded figure looked me right in the eye, and pulled down his hood,

"Fang?"
