Chap 11- Blushy

A/N

Fang: Ok she has a message for you, so I would run.

Me: Shut up Fang, I know that there is no FAX yet but I mean I listed it as romance and friendship and they're like 11 so the romance won't come yet. I wanted to establish the friendship between the two of them first.

Fang: I told you to run, once she gets started she doesn't shut up.

Me: Shut up Fang

The last day of jumping rope finally arrived and I had so much I wanted to tell Sophie. Fang, Iggy and I walked into class and sat down. Mrs. Overwood started to read the role when she reached Sophie's name.

"Ah Sophie has left the school," She replied as if we all knew it and she was reminding herself.

The words struck me by surprise and Fang and Iggy instantly turned to face me. I couldn't believe that Sophie had just left without saying anything to me. I know we weren't all that close but still it was a shock.

As we were walking to the gym Iggy and Fang came over to me.

"Max, are you alright?" Fang asked.

"I guess I'm alright, I mean I didn't really know her and we weren't that close," I shrugged. When we got inside Fang and I lost Iggy in the crowd.

"Where the hell is Iggy?" Fang demanded.

"Fang," I warned him, I was getting really sick of his swearing, nice people don't swear.

"Sorry," He grumbled.

We ended up sitting in the back row with Casey and Sally.

"Aw aren't they cute," Casey laughed with Sally. I chose to ignore Casey and turned to Fang.

"They aren't going to stop are they?" He mumbled.

"Do you care?" I asked him.

"Sometimes it just gets annoying," He shrugged.

"Is that what was wrong that day?" I guessed.

"Yeah, I was in a mood and someone mentioned it that morning and I got pissed off," He explained. I was shocked Fang was telling me how he felt, that never happened.

I heard weird noises next to me and turned to see Casey laughing with Sally. Casey sighed and put her head on Sally's shoulder.

"Pass it on," She giggled. Sally sighed and did the same thing to me.

"Pass it on," Sally instructed me. I turned to see Fang.

"I'm not passing that on to him!" I refused in shock. Fang looked at me like I was some crazy person.

Casey then made kissy noises at Sally and told her to pass them on.

"No way," I replied. It kind of went through it a circuit, from heads on shoulder, to lovesick sighing, to kissing sounds.

"There is nothing going on between me and Fang, we're just friends!" I exclaimed. Fang looked at me in shock and I realised that it was the first time I had admitted our friendship to him.

"We are friends aren't we?" I double checked.

"of course," Fang grinned at me. (again not a full smile but still a smile).

"So there you have it, nothing with a big fat nothing!" I insisted.

"Um, Max, you should see how red you're going," Sally laughed.

"Oh my god," Casey laughed.

"You look like a tomato," Sally laughed.

"Is it even possible to go that red?" Casey laughed. I had a funny feeling that I was going redder and redder by the second if at all possible.

"Blushy!" Fang exclaimed quietly.

"What?" I demanded.

"Blushy," He smirked at me.

"Oh no," I groaned as I realised that this was my new nickname.

"Oh yes," He smirked again.

"That's not fair," I cried.

"Yes, it's revenge," He nodded.

"Um, hello I got revenge on you this would be revenge for revenge," I pointed out to him.

"Exactly!" He exclaimed. I banged my head against my palm and carried on to myself. On my left I had Casey and Sally raving on about kissing, hugging and leaning my head on Fang's shoulder and all that crap and then on my right I had Fang whispering my new nick name in my ear. My life officially sucked especially when my heat gave a little skip whenever Fang whispered in my ear. What the hell was up with that?

I tried to get through the rest of the demonstration without thinking about Fang which for some reason wasn't easy.

"Are sure that you guys don't like each other?" Sally asked me.

"I'm sure," I insisted with a long sigh of frustration.

I made it through the jump rope thingy without turning completely red and without my heart jumping too much. I didn't like boys I just didn't, I wasn't supposed to. I didn't date so why should I bother. I was slowly getting a feeling that my friendship with Fang would change my life forever.

I was glad that we both confessed that we were friends though I mean that was a relief. We'd only been friends for a few weeks but I felt like it was longer like I couldn't believe that we had waited this long. The only down side was that because we became friends so quickly people wouldn't shut up. I know everyone says that you shouldn't care what people think but that's easier said than done. Take it from someone who knows. I was so grateful that we didn't get caught talking though I mean we would've been in so much trouble.

I spoke to Nudge about a lot of my feelings, I mean Fang listened but sometimes I just needed a girl to talk to. I used to hang with some of the boys and kick a footy around but I wasn't really proper friends with them and now I know why. They are so complicated, I swear they were put on this planet just to screw things up and I bet with science I can prove it.
