Chapter 10

Max's POV We all lined up, our team on offense first. I had to prove myself... Then we could play for real. We set up our defensive/offensive lines, and as we bent over into our positions, I looked up to see Kay-C right in front of me, grinning with his perfect teeth. I glared at him fiercely. Fang called the play and then belted out, "HUT". Let me tell you... I was not ready for what happened. Kay-C rammed into me with such force that I knocked over, flat on the grass with the wind knocked out of me. Everything stopped, no one ran for the ball, everyone was frozen... And they were all staring right at Fang. Fang was frozen, his eyes shifting from me, to Kay-C. He stood there and then said icily,

"Help her up." Kay-C's eyes widened,

"No way, man!" Kay-C exclaimed.

"Help her up. Now. or you'll wish you were never born," Fang said, his jaw clenched.

He held out his hand, in a gesture to help me up. I ignored it and stood up myself. I didn't need some douche bag's help. Fang stood, watching intently. Kay-C turned toward Fang and raised his eyebrows. Everyone was still frozen, staring at Fang. It was like something in a movie. They were just waiting to see what he would do. Fang licked his bottom lip, and then made a quick gesture with two fingers, telling Kay-C to come to him. He hesitated and then walked uncertainly toward Fang. He towered over Kay-C. They locked eyes and Fang's icy ones stared intently at him.

"What game are we playing?" Fang asked him sharply. Kay-C looked around.

"Flag football?" He said uncertainly.

"Yes, and in flag football do we tackle and block people?" Fang asked.

"Ummm... No,"

"Yes, that's right. You owe Max an apology and if you ever hurt my best friend again, I'll make your life miserable," Fang said, sharply, his eyes a steely onyx. Kay-C opened his mouth to talk, but Zach cut in,

"Y'all are just friends?" He asked with a small smile on his face. Fang shot him a death glare and I didn't reply in fear that Fang would come and punch Zach right in the face. Jealousy practically radiated off Fangs body. I rolled my eyes and put my hands on my hips.

"Are y'all just going to stand around, causing a bunch of drama like fifth grade girls, or can we play some football!" I asked. A bunch of the guys hooted and punched their fists in the air, like the morons they were. Everyone started to go into the former positions, I followed their lead, but Fang grabbed my arm. I looked up at him.

"You're going to play center... You know what that is right?" He asked. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yes Fang, I know what center is!" I exclaimed.

"Chill, I was just making sure! Okay, so I want you to snap the ball to me and then before Jake knows what you're doing, I want you to run around him, right to our in zone, he doesn't know how fast you are and he will underestimate you, be looking for the ball!"

"Okay! I can do that!" I said. Fang and I glided into position with everyone else. We sat there and Fang said the play and then called,

"HUT!" I snapped the ball with ease, and Fang jogged in place, the second I heard the ball connect to Fangs hands I zipped off towards our inzone, my bronze legs stretching out in front of me, carrying me at the speed of lightning. I could see Jake double take, and then start running after me, but I was already too far ahead. Fang threw the ball towards me. I held my hands up, ready to catch it and make a touch down, when a figure flew in front of me and caught the ball. Crap! He started to run when I saw who it was... Kay-C. I swore under my breath and took off after him. He was quick, but I held my own! I reached out after him, but couldn't grab his flag. Yards flew by, going to his inzone, when we were at the 30 yard line I reached out again, and felt nervous sweat forming on the back of my neck when I realized I couldn't grab his flag, so I didn't the next best thing...

I fell. That's right, I fell. But as I fell I grabbed firmly onto Kay-C's shorts and yanked down. His pants fell below his ankles and he tripped, soaring towards the ground, making a beautiful face-plant right into the grass! He fumbled the ball, and I jumped over him and picked it up with ease. I ran past Iggy, and then Derrick came running towards me, trying to push me out of bounds, I just jumped to my right and he rammed into Iggy who had been trying to gain on me again. I stretched my legs as fast as they would go! My lungs burned for air, but I ignored them! Yards flew by! 40, 30, 20, 10, and TOUCHDOWN! I slammed the ball in between the cones and jumped up into the air! Kay-C was laying on the ground in his care bear boxers, blushing like crazy, Derrick and Iggy were groaning on the ground, rubbing their soar muscles, and then Jake, along with all of my team stood, staring at me in awe. I half expected them to start bowing! I stood, shoulders back, and let a small smile spread across my face. I then strode across the grass, after the few minutes it took to cross the field, I sauntered up to Kay-C. I slowly bent down, and put my lips close to his ear,

"How's that for a girl?" I asked in an icy whisper. Then I strutted over to Iggy, pulled him up, and marched towards my house, on the way grabbing Fangs arm and taking him with us too.

When we were gone I groaned and said "Oh... That was awful," in annoyance. Fangs eyebrows shot up.

...Speaking of Fang- I what you're all thinking... What happened to being mad at each other! Well the thing is... I can't be mad at Fang, he is my best friend after all. And that's what I don't want to ruin... And so I decided to take a chance and come hang out with them... And luckily Fang acted very normal about the whole situation... He pretended like nothing happened. So... I guess I'd talk to him about it later and until then we can just hang out like normal FRIENDS.
