Hello Everyone! Glad you all loved chapter 11. I'm so happy that I'm on break so I can update more for you guys. Though I have to go back to school next week so this should be some fast, but long updates. :P
To answer 2 questions from VampiresExplodeInLight:
Q1: How long does it take you to write a chapter?
A1: It takes about an hour or so. Then I go back and fix any mistakes before publishing it. However, with that said, it also depends on when I can get to typing a new chapter because I have a busy schedule where I can't be typing 24/7. Sadly : (
Q2: What's your favorite color?
A2: My favorite color would be silver. (Hint: look at my username :P) Though, I do have another favorite which is purple (not the girly kind).

Chapter 12
Max P.O.V.
I buried my head into his chest and sighed.
Then I said, "Fang, I- I can't do this." I pushed away from him and ducked beneath his arm. Once I was out of his reach, I said without looking, "You and I can never be. I don't care for you or even feel the same way."
I didn't stop to hear his reply as I turned the corner and ran from that hall. Away from the guy I was starting to like. Tears developed in my eyes, but I blinked hard to keep them away. I wasn't going to cry any longer. I was finished.
When I finally arrived to 1st hour, the bell rang a moment later. The teacher glared at me and I just sat in my seat ignoring any comments. A second later the teacher called on me, "Miss Martinez, can you tell me what the vocab for last night was?"
I looked at Mr. Shoot in the eye and said, "It was: Lagoon, Pillow, Falcon, Emerald, Singapore, Labyrinth, and Crowned Jewel."
Mr. Shoot nodded at me and went back to the bored. He started writing the vocab on the side of the bored when the classroom door banged open. We all turned to see Fang stumble through the door seeming as though he was out of breath. A few chuckled and others swooned. All I did was grimace and look away.
I heard Mr. Shoot snarl, "Is there a particular reason why your 20 minutes late to class, Mr. Wolfe?"
I could almost sense Fang shrug as he made his way to his seat. Which so happened to be right beside me, to my right. I felt the air whoosh as he sat in his place, but didn't make any move to look at him. I felt eyes on me and looked around to see no one was looking at me.
Then I figured they were Fang's eyes. The ones that I had grown to love- to see every day when I came to school. The ones filled with such mystery such emotion. Unknown to many except a few. Me being one of those few.
I decided to finally look at him only to see that he was gazing at a girl a few seats in front of me. She had long bronze-colored hair. It looked dyed to me. Though I wouldn't know because I don't use that stuff. Anyways, the girl was facing forward so I couldn't see who she was. Though from here, she seemed to be a really pretty girl.
This made my heart stop a little. The thought of Fang looking at another girl made me feel a little jealous. Why? I have no clue. But, I crushed the feeling immediately reminding myself of what Fang was known for. He was the biggest player in our school. No wonder he wouldn't stick to me. He probably told every girl what he told me in the hall. An I was stupid enough to believe it. Stupid enough to let my self fall for someone like him.
I looked out the window, to my left, and felt my face fall from its façade of calmness. Luckily, no one could see my face so they wouldn't see. I watched the clouds gather outside as a storm rolled in. They covered the sky life a blanket of darkness. Covering up the blue that was the sky above. Smothering the sun and its light like billowing smoke.
I felt my face fall even more and watched closely as the clouds continued to gather. Forming large lumps in the sky. The air thickening with tension at the coming of rain. The first few raindrops fell without care then more came. Then more after that, till it was showering out there like a waterfall. I watched as thunder ripped through the dark haze. Roaring like a lion in triumph. The sound grabbing everyone's attention.
A few girls squealed in fright while some guys whistled. They had no clue what the true beauty was. What nature had to offer to the world. They couldn't truly see how magnificent this storm was or any type of weather in that case. They were all foolish. Not knowing what was to come from a storm so brutal yet still so beautiful in the eyes of the Earth.
I continued to gaze out the window as Mr. Shoot called the classes attention back to him. When he called my name a few times, I felt the need to ignore him. The need to keep gazing out the window at nature's beauty. However, Mr. Shoot was getting agitated so I reluctantly removed my gaze from outside and focused on the now red faced teacher.
He glared at me, but I kept my face solemn and guarded. Giving him no access to my thoughts or emotions. He grumbled under his breath and turned back to the board and started writing terms down. I smirked inwardly and watched the rest of the class talk, text, laugh, and goof off.
Glancing over at Fang, I noticed he was now talking to the girl he was looking at earlier. Now I could see her face. She had clear beach-tanned skin, hazel eyes, and an oval-shaped face. Her long hair was set in smooth beach-waves rolling over her shoulders like water. Overall, she was really pretty. No wonder she caught Fang's attention. He was sitting at her desk while she sat on top of it smiling brightly down at him. She wore a red-laced cami with a loose v-neck over it. The cut dipping way lower than the school allowed. Giving Fang a full view of her cleavage.
She giggled as he stroked her leg and he leaned forward to nip at her thigh. This made me shiver in disgust. An quite frankly it irritated me that he was over there flirting with her when not even an hour ago. He was in an empty hallway kissing me. I guess the saying 'Kiss and don't tell' applies to this situation. I growled to myself and turned to my notebook where I hade been aimlessly drawing.
Nothing, but a bunch of circles and lines covered the space. I closed the book just as the Mr. Shoot called the class to order. He sneered at a few who continued to talk until they shut up.
Then he said loudly, "Class, we will be receiving a new student tomorrow all the way from Spain. He will be coming to our country on a military move. I hope you all treat him with kindness and welcome him. Though, he does not know English from what I know. The only languages he knows are Italian and Spanish. If anyone is fluent in these I ask that you help him out. That is all. You have the rest of the time to talk or read."
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the class and everyone resumed their previous conversations. No one spoke of the new kid, just about sports, make-up, shopping, and anything else related to those subjects. I rolled my eyes and glanced around at the different groups. My eyes flashed to Fang and the girl. They were still flirting up a storm. Though now the girl was sitting on Fang's lap. Or more like straddling him.
He smirked at her and nipped her neck making her giggle. I narrowed my eyes and turned back to the window where the storm was still brewing and building. Though, the lightening had ceased a few minutes ago. Now, all that was left was the sound of the rain hammering on the school and the world outside.
Finally, the bell rang causing a few to jump in surprise. Students gathered their things and rushed out the door relief and joy clear on their faces. I decided to take my time and gathered my books along with my bag. When I stood up, I noticed that Fang and the girl were gone and the only other person in the room was Mr. Shoot.
I sighed quietly and headed out the door to my next class. I arrived two minutes before the bell. So I went to my seat and started drawing as students began to pour into the room. Mrs. Cal was behind them with a ferocious expression on her face. I never understood why she taught if she hated kids so much.
I just let it go as the bell rang and class began. Mrs. Cal handed out a packet with history problems on it. I finished the first three before she explained the thing. There were only five pages in the packet. Then I completed the last two as she said, "You may begin. Hand it in when you are done."
As I finished, I walked up to her desk and handed it to her. She stared at me skeptically and snatched the packet out of my hand. As I moved to go sit, she hissed, "Stay where you are Miss Martinez."
I watched as she checked every problem and wrote something on the front page and handed it back to me. I grabbed it and looked at her questioningly. She grimaced at me and turned away only saying, "Read the page."
I nodded even though she wasn't looking and headed back to my desk. On the page, in red ink. The words read: "EXCELLENT JOB". I smiled slightly at this. Though not enough for people to notice. Then I tucked the packet into my binder and read for the rest of the class period.
When the bell rang for class to be dismissed, I gathered my things and was one of the first people out the door. I rushed to my locker and threw everything in, not caring if it was a mess. Then I ran down the hall and to the cafeteria where people were already heading in. I grumbled at the line that stood before me, but was happy none the less to be getting something to eat.
Once I got my food, a slice of pizza and a sprite, I walked over to a table near the large glass windows and sat down. Not caring if there was no one around me. I simply started eating. That was until I heard the smack of plastic on wood. The sound that a tray made on one of the lunch tables. Then the chair across from mine screeched as someone sat down and moved it to sit up against the table. I didn't bother to look up. Knowing it was probably someone who wanted to annoy or bully me.
The person cleared their throat as if to get my attention. Though, I just ignored them and continued to eat my lunch. Then the person spoke, their voice filling the empty silence that entombed us.
"Are you still upset at me," the person sighed, "because I'm really sorry for what I did Max."
I glanced up to see Ella was looking at me sadly. I glared a little at her which in turn made her flinch. Then she sucked in a breath when she caught a look at my cheek. She instantly was at my side and was examining the gash like Fang did this morning.
I tried tugging my face away from her, but she held on tight. She looked closely at my injury until she finally let it go. She was spacing out for a moment until I said, "Ella?"
Then her brown eyes focused on me and she narrowed them. "What happened to you?"
I shrugged and said, "I fell. Why do you care?" Ella sighed and said, "Max, you're my friend of course. I care about all my friends so I care about you. That's why. Now, how did you fall?"
I glared at her and said, "Look, I fell alright. Leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to have you care about me, I don't want you to be a friend. Just go, please."
With that I got up and left. Leaving a surprised/shocked Ella behind me. I scurried down the hall to my next class. I arrived about twenty minutes before class was even supposed to start. Without pausing I pushed open the heavy class door and walked in. This was science class, though the teacher- Ms. Dragon, was here yet. I smiled and sat down. Happy to have sometime to myself.
For about ten minutes, I sat in peaceful silence just drawing and looking out the window. The door opened suddenly and I froze at the sight before me. It was Fang and the girl from earlier. I growled quietly, but they didn't hear me. You want to know why?
They were in full make-out mode and Fang had the girl hiked up on his waist. Supporting her full weight. I heard the girl moan and cringed in disgust at the sight. I cleared my throat as Fang trapped the girl against the wall and that caused them to jump in surprise. I guess they didn't expect anyone to be here this early.
Fang and the girl glanced around before their eyes met mine. The girl blushed a bright red while Fang stared in shock at my presence. He turned to face me and opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came about. The girl however, giggled nervously and said, "Um….I'm sorry you had to see that."
I just shrugged and looked back at my notebook replying, "Doesn't bother me. But, I think you would be better off checking the classroom before you decide to Do It in there. Just a thought."
With that I organized my things and stood up. Then I looked straight at the girl, "Though I think you would be better off with not making out with him anyways." I said while pointing at Fang.
The girl looked confused for a moment as did Fang. Then his eyes widened in realization, but it was too late. I spoke before he could stop me.
"You see, just this morning, he was kissing me in an empty hallway and was telling me all these stupid lies. I fell for it and now he moved on top another girl. Another toy at that. So you would be better off leaving him and finding someone who would really appreciate you. An not just for your looks."
The girl gaped at me and then she glared saying, "So are you implying that I'm I slut?!"
I rolled my eyes and said, "No, I'm simply stating what is going on through his mind. You just called or own self a slut. So don't get pissed at me for telling you the truth."
The girl gaped at me and then looked at Fang, "Is what she said true?" Fang was at a lost for words and looked between us. Then he gathered his barracks and said, "Yeah." The girl glared at him and slapped him across the cheek.
Leaving a giant red mark in its place. Fang stumbled from the blow and glared at the girl as she pushed passed him and shimmied out the door. I watched with a look of smugness as Fang gaped after her still unable to speak. Then his shocked eyes locked on me and narrowed in anger.
He then said slowly, "What the hell was that for?" I smirked and said, "That was for lying to me and also to protect the girl from being used."
Fang glared at me then something crossed his face as he thought about what I said. He gaped once again when it finally dawned on him. He said hesitantly, "You thought what I told you this morning was a lie?"
I nodded, not trusting my words or my voice. He sighed and ran a hand through his thick black hair. Making it even messier than earlier, but some how made him even hotter. I mentally smacked myself at this thought. Then I looked at him square in the eyes and let down my guard. I showed him through my eyes how hurt I really was and how much I really cared for him.
I got the reaction I wish no one had to go through. He laughed. Laughed at me like it was all a funny joke. At that sound I felt my heart snap. He smirked at me while he said, "You thought I liked you?"
I just looked away as he continued to laugh. Then I felt heat surround me as someone hugged me close to them. I looked to see it was Fang. He was hugging me close to him and burring his head into the nape of my neck. I stood there as he hugged me and whispered, "I don't like you Max. I don't care about you."
I felt tears sting my eyes as his words ripped through my heart like thorns. He sighed and pulled away only to look me in the eyes. His face no longer amused or laughing. He was serious now.
I asked him the one question that was at the top of my head. "Why did you tell me all those things then? Why couldn't you just leave me be and hate me like everybody else?"
Fang was silent for a moment before he said, "I did all those things to chase you away Max. Don't you get it? You of all people should have been able to figure me out."
I stared at him confused as he continued, "Max, I don't care about you because I would die for you. You are what makes me come to school everyday. You are what I look forward to seeing. When you told me you didn't like me back or that you didn't care about me. It broke my heart. I don't like you Max because…..I-"
I stood there was he continued to stutter over his words. My heart and mind thinking and remembering every word he spoke.
He sighed and took a breath before saying, "Max, I don't like you because I have fallen for you. I don't want anyone else. You are all that I can think about, dream of, and look forward to seeing every waking moment I have."
I stared shock at his proclamation as he watched my reaction. Searching my eyes for any sign of emotions. Though, like always he turned up with nothing. I turned my face to the floor as Fang waited for my response.
Finally I said, "I can't go on like this Fang? I'm not saying I doubt you, but how do I know that what you say is true? I'm not going to deal with this pain again. Nor am I going to become a one-time fling. I'm sorry Fang."
With that I turned and was about to walk away when Fang pulled me back and kissed me on the lips. He seemed to have put every emotion he had into that kiss and I just froze in surprise. He continued to kiss me sweetly and I finally got the courage to kiss back.
He smiled when I finally responded and held me close kissing me with everything he had. Then he pulled back and smiled a rare full-blown smile for me. I gazed back at him and saw the one emotion I found amazing in his eyes. Love.
He gazed back and said, "Max, I love you and I really do want to be with you. Will you give me a chance?"
I thought for a moment and got the reaction of Fang becoming wary and then fearful of my response. Then I smiled at him and nodded. He laughed and kissed me on the lips lightly filling my heart with joy.
Then he said, "I have to go to Art. I'll see you later. Okay?" I nodded and was pecked on the lips once more before Fang turned and headed out the door with one last special smile at me. With this new found joy I went back to my desk and started to read. Waiting for the class to finally begin.
Fang P.O.V.
I chuckled as I made my way to art. I can't believe she fell for it. Now, I will be the only guy in this school to have been able to have Max for himself and get to sleep with the slut.
I chuckled again and continued to walk down the hall not caring that it was still ten minutes before class started. The halls were still empty and everything was silent except for the noise I was making.
That's when a pair of manicured nails snatched my arm and pulled me to an empty classroom. (Thank god!) I looked over to see a small girl smiling flirtatiously at me. I smirked at her outfit.
She was wearing a skin-tight black cami that showed off more cleavage then allowed. She also had on a short gray mini-skirt. Her long tanned legs were totally exposed. Then I saw her hair was short and beach blonde. Man, she was really hot.
I watched as she pulled me close and sat on a the teacher's desk. I happily stood between her legs as she clasped her arms around my neck. She giggled at my smirk and pulled me down to kiss her. When our lips met, I dove right in. I took her face in my hands and forced my tongue into her mouth making her moan in delight.
I smirked and continued to massage her tongue with mine as she grinded against my body. I could feel pleasure from her movements, but continued to kiss her none the less. Her cami's strap was falling off her shoulder making her breast more exposed. This was my chance.
I was about to kiss her cleavage when a small gasp filled the air. I turned around ready to murder whoever had interrupted us when I caught sight of Ella. She was standing there with a shocked look on her face.
I quickly turned to face her letting the girl beside me feel embarrassed. I really didn't care. Ella glared at me and hissed at the girl, "Go now."
The girl scrambled off the desk and rushed out of the room before anything else could happen. When Ella was sure the girl was gone she looked back at me with a serious and pissed expression on her face.
"What the hell are you thinking?!" She was all red-faced and seemed on the verge of exploding from anger. I just shrugged and said, "I do this all the time. Why are you so shocked?"
Ella narrowed her eyes at me and said, "I know you're dating Max. I over-heard you two talking. I can't believe you're not even with her for more than an hour and your already cheating on her."
I shrugged again which only pissed Ella off more. "Why do you care? You know this is how I am."
Ella gritted her teeth and hissed, "Because I thought you actually cared about Max. Fang, you of all people know how long she's been bullied and I thought maybe you actually did like her."
I rolled my eyes at Ella's logic and turned to look out the window. "Ella, you know I don't care about any girl since what happened to Jissel." I heard Ella sigh and then she was standing next to me. Her small hand resting on my shoulder.
"Fang, you can't keep going on like this. We all miss her, but she's gone now. You have to move on and stop treating girls like their flings. Jissel wouldn't want you acting like this and you know that."
I shook my head as a tear fell down my face. She just didn't understand how I had felt about Jissel. She was the only girl I had loved and the only one I had told my secret to. An now she was gone. Taken away by some drunk driver.
I stared out the window as the image of the girl I loved replayed in my mind. Her long blonde hair, tanned skin, and beautiful blue eyes ripped through my mind. Causing my heart to ache from her death.
You see, Jissel was my girlfriend a year ago. We were planning on getting married after high school and to start a family. Though, on our six month anniversary, she was killed in a car accident that was caused by a drunk driver. I can still remember her bloody image as she laid broken in the hospital.
I could feel more tears rip through me as a sob escaped from my mouth. Ella pulled me into a hug and said, "Everything is going to be alright Fang."
I wiped my eyes as I pulled away from her. An pulled away from the image of the girl that had once been my everything. Ella stroked my back while she waited for me to calm down. Finally, I looked her in the eye and tried to smile. Though it probably looked more like a grimace.
Ella smiled weakly at me and said, "Jissel is probably watching over you and is probably a little mad at the way you've been acting."
I nodded and looked at the floor, "I just don't know anymore Ella. She was the only one I ever fell for and I can't let her go. I'm just not ready."
Ella shook her head in agitation, "Fang, listen you me now. If Jissel was still here. She would be yelling at you right now to cut it out. But, she's not so I'm doing it for her. You have to stop this and start living like you did when Jissel was alive. Yeah, it will be hard, but everyone else has accepted what had happened and has moved on. Now you have to do the same."
I rolled my eyes and earned a smack in the head from Ella. She continued, "You are a lucky guy Fang. Every guy in this school would kill to go out with Max. Even though they make fun of her. They are all just sad that she won't go out with them. But, she chose you Fang. Now it's time you owned up to what you did and tell her. If you really loved her Fang. You would tell her the truth and make things right."
I looked her in the eye and said quietly, "I don't even love her Ella. Yeah, I like her like every other guy, but I don't think I love her."
Ella smacked her forehead and grumbled something before turning to look me straight in the eye. "Fang, I know you love her. Everyday the group is talking and you'll be looking around for someone. An don't lie to me when I say I know you're looking for Max. Every time she's in the same room or in your sight. You go crazy and you won't stop talking about her and won't stop complaining about every time you don't get to be with her. Now, if that isn't love then I don't know what is."
I stared at Ella in shock. Do I really do all those things? I must have said that last thought out loud because Ella nodded yes in reply. Now, that I thought about it. I did do all the things Ella just mentioned. Then it dawned on me. The feeling I got every time I looked at Max. It was love. It was the same feeling I always had when I was around Jissel.
I smiled at this thought and stood up and started for the door. Ella said, "Where are you going Fang?"
I turned to look at her with a smile on my face. "I'm going to go apologize to the girl I love and tell her how much she means to me."
Ella grinned from ear to ear at this statement then said, "Go get her lover boy."
Without a single thought I rushed out the classroom door towards where I had last saw Max.
So what did you guys think? Like or dislike? Let me know in your reviews. Thanks again for reading and hope everyone has a great New Year! Happy Holidays!
