Oh my word guys, the feedback just made my heart swell. Thanks so much :) There was some comments on doing a point of view of Fang, and it would be cool, but here's the deal.
I think it's messy when people switch around POV's all the time. It's just not neat. Unless it's something like every other chapter. But it hasn't been something I've started out doing, and I did it once last time around, and it just felt out of place. So, thanks for the suggestions, I'll work on getting a little bit more of Fang in here, alrighty?
It really made me feel good that you guys loved it. I'll try to incorporate ideas into the story as well as I can. :)
"Hey, Ella."
"Hey, Max."
Maybe if my heart stops beating
It won't hurt this much
And never will I have to answer
Again to anyone
Ella and I, dorm roommates for two years now, were unpacking our stuff from Winter break. The Holidays are over. Thank goodness. I'm so glad I can be away from family. It hurts to much to be around them.
For your information, the last few years were a little better in some parts, and a little worse in others.
On the good side, after I graduated from High School with my acceptance letter into University of Southern Maine, and Ella, who became really good friends with me after my best friend moved away to New Hampshire (insert sobbing and loss of will to live), got into USM as well. So, we're living in Portland, Maine. We're good friends, and she knows about everything. We shared quite a bit on our late movie nights where Nudge visits us. She goes to college a few hours away from us, so it's pretty amazing. We're all good friends. Anyways, we talked a lot those nights, and I spilled about switching with Maya for a stupid, stupid reason, and then me crushing hard on her boyfriend, her boyfriend breaking up with her a month later, and me being a total coward.
We've gotten close, long story short.
She saves me from having to see her brother when he visits. He goes to Colby College in Waterville, Maine. She's really awesome; she's like a more feminine version of me.
Speaking of friends and college, Iggy and I also hang out a lot, movie nights where we share petty secrets. Occasionally we cry. But mostly, Iggy's my man if I just want a good time with no feelings. That sounded way cruder than it was meant to be.
I can promise you, Iggy and I have nothing going on. Iggy goes to college in New Hampshire as well, to be an engineer. He goes to Dartmouth.
Maya…. well, Maya had a bad spell for about a year, when she was really distraught, and I have no idea how hard it must have been for her. That must have been tough to go through. I wouldn't know.
But she's dating someone, his name is Andrew. He's really sweet. I like him a lot, he really tries to build relationships with the family.
Margaret-Ann graduated last year. That was fun. We all showed up and now she's living in Maine, where she went to college. She's a teacher for second-graders, in Troy.
That's really all that's happened.
Ella and I unpack our stuff, listening to Paramore, Fall Out Boy, and New Politics, getting ready for the concert we're going to in Mass. in June. We've loved Paramore for a long time, even before we met each other. It's really exciting.
I unpack my clothes, and she unpacks her make-up.
English class, here I come. "Home again, home again."
Thanks for reading so much! Remember: I want to hear what you have to say! What do you want to see? I love to see where you think this is going, and where you think it should go. :)
This is admittedly a filler chapter, for informational purposes.
