I walked off stage with everyone at my side and I grabbed Sam's arm lightly.

"Hey, can we talk for a minute?" I asked quietly.

"Sure." Sam said shrugging.

I walked off and Sam followed beside me. We got on the opposite side of the room as everyone else.

Ella, and Iggy were talking on the couch, Dyl was grabbing a drink and Nudge was texting.

"What is it?" Sam asked confusingly.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." I said slowly. I sighed and explained, "We have been friends for a long time, and I was wondering..if you wanted to.." i couldn't speak. I didn't know how to ask my best friend out.

Sam looked at me and smiled slightly. "You were wondering if we could go out." He said smiling big. "Well, I will under one condition." He looked into my eyes and I nodded. Please don't be about Fang. Please don't be about Fang. "The condition is.." Please don't. "if we break up, we're still best friends." I sighed in relief and he smiled.

"Thank you." I said breathing slowly. "And I promise."

He smiled and we started walking over to the band.

"Hey, what's up?" Dyl said smiling at us both.

"Nothing, Dyl." Ella said looking at me curiously. I sighed and looked at Sam, who was smiling still. Her eyes widened. "Max, can I talk to you? Now, please."

I walked over to where me and Sam were and she stomped over.

"What the heck?!" She said furiously. "Why Sam? I know he's your best friend but still. You like Fang, and you know it. Nobody wants Sam to get hurt, and you don't want to hurt him either." She said looking at me angrily.

Well, it was true. I liked Fang, and I couldn't help it. Sam is my best friend, and I don't want to hurt him. But I could learn to love Sam. I already love him like a brother, maybe I could love him in another way.

"Well I don't want to hurt him. But I can learn to love him in that way, besides loving him as a brother." I said calmly.

I walked away and stood next to Sam, and he put his arm on my shoulders.

I smiled up at him and we all left the park.


We all went to Iggy's because he had cake and ice cream at his house. We didn't care for anything else except the food.

Iggy opened the door and there were screams.

Everyone jumped except Iggy.

"Argh. Fine you got me." Iggy said frustrated.

We all looked down and saw a little girl and boy.

"Oh yeah!" Iggy said laughing. "These are my little bro and sis. Their twins." He said proudly.

Iggy quickly grabbed the little girl and she giggled.

"Hi, I'm Angel." She said. We all smiled, and she laughed. "And that's my brother Gazzy." She said looking at the little boy.

The girl, Angel, had short blonde curly hair, and bright blue eyes. The boy had blonde hair spiked up and blue as well.

"Ella!"Gazzy yelled.

Ella looked at him and smiled. She picked him up and started tickling him. I looked at her confused.

"Oh, I came over to Iggy's right after you got hit by that truck. I met Gaz and Ang and they made me feel better, and reassured me you would be safe." She said happily. So she's been to there house...and didn't tell me?! Wow. What a thoughtful sister.

"You know, Iggy doesn't stop talking about you." Angel said giggling. Iggy's eyes widened then he pushed his hand on top of Angel's mouth. She was yelling words that we didn't understand and he was struggling.

Gaz looked at Ella and laughed slightly. "Iggy just doesn't want you to think he's a weirdo for thinking about Ella all the time." He said quietly to us. We all smiled and looked at Iggy.

We all stood there and he looked up.

"Heh..yeah." He said coughing slightly. "Well, let's go get that ice cream." Iggy pointed to the kitchen and we all walked in.

We all sat down and Iggy left the room for a minute.


IGGY POV

I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room where Ang and Gaz were sitting.

"Hey!" I whispered loudly. They both looked at me with Bambi eyes and I looked at them cold.

"No." I said. "Not this time. I told you not to say anything!" I yelled quietly. I don't know how it was quiet because I was angry.

"Well, from how you guys talk, it seems as if she likes you too." Ang said calmly. She smiled at me and walked over to me. "Just let me work my magic."

We both walked into the kitchen with me holding her hand. Angel looked over at Ella and walked over to her.

"Ella, can you come to my room and look at this project I did for school? If Iggy saw it, he would find a way to blow it up." She said then giggled slightly.

"Sure." Ella said nicely and sweetly as anybody on the planet. What? I'm in love with girl, you don't expect me to put some compliments in there?!

They both walked out of the room smiling sweetly and everyone looked at me.

"I don't know. Little girl thing." I said.

I got out the ice cream, and bowls and started scooping. I hurried and finished then ran upstairs to the outside of Ang's room.


ELLA POV

We both walked into Angel's room and she smiled at me.

She sat on her bed and I sat next to her looking around.

"Ok, so there's no work." She said frowning slightly. I looked at her and smiled slighty. "I was just wondering what you think of my brother." She said shyly.

"I love Gaz." I said, actually knowing which brother she was referring too.

She was about to open her mouth when I sighed.

"I know which one, Ang. And yes." I said defeated. "I like Iggy." I just got defeated...by a six year old.


IGGY POV

I leaned against the door and listened.

"I was just wondering what you think of my brother." I heard Angel say.

"I love Gaz." Ella said. Wow. Ok, I see how it is.

"I know which one, Ang." I heard Ella say. "And yes. I like Iggy." I froze.

I couldn't stop smiling, and I felt like squealing like a little girl! My gosh! The girl of my dreams likes me!

Wait. Ok, Angel did her part, let me do mine.

I knocked on the door and opened it slightly.

Angel came to the door and opened it wide.

"Hey, I just finished putting away my work." She lied calmly. She turned around and ran to Ella, giving her a hug and thanking her.

Ella smiled and Angel ran down the stairs to the kitchen I'm guessing.

"She didn't have artwork did she?" I asked lying just as easily.

"No." Ella said sighing. I couldn't help but want to smile.

"Kind of figured. That evil grin of hers is always finding ways to trick people." I said walking towards Ella.

I sat next to her and she leaned into me softly. She put her head on my shoulder and I stood up. Ok. It's time for me to strike.

"Ella," I said. She looked down at the ground and sighed. I smiled. "will you be my girlfriend?"
