School Days

Chapter 21

"Fang?"

"What?"

"I'm bored."

"Go to sleep."

"No."

"Max I'm tired."

"I'm not."

"Please Maxie? I want to sleep."

I rolled over so that I was facing him. "You slept all day."

"So?"

"You shouldn't sleep all day. It's not healthy."

"Spell healthy."

I glared at him. "You spell healthy!"

"H-E-A-"

"Okay, stop."

"Why?"

"I don't know if you're right or not."

Fang stuck his tongue out at me. "I knew you couldn't spell it."

"I-T."

"What?"

"You said that I couldn't spell it. I just did."

"Shut up Max."

I rolled over again, now not facing him. "Fine. Be a jerk."

"I will!"

Ten minutes later

"Fang I'm bored again."

"I don't care!"

"Why are we still in this fucking room?"

Fang jumped off the bed. "Hold on."

"What are you doing?" I asked him, staying on the bed.

Fang shrugged, kicking the door. What's wrong with that boy? He pulled a key out of his pocket. "You want out Max?"

"When did you get that?" I yelled. How could he have that but not tell me? I hate him!

"I stole it." Fang said, putting the key in the lock. "I was just waiting for the right moment to use it."

I jumped off the bed and opened the door. I started to walk out but Fang didn't follow. "Come on Fang."

He shook his head. "I told you, I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep."

"Chicken." I mumbled.

"What did you say?"

"I called you a chicken." I looked at him. "You aren't fun anymore! All you do is sit there, worrying about if that Eraser's going to get you. Get over it Fang."

Fang glared at me. "I hope that he gets you. I hope that he hurts you and that he never lets you go so that I don't have to see your ugly face again."

"Fine. Anything's better than being with you!" I yelled at him and ran off.

Fang's POV

I hate Max. I hate her! I hope she dies. I jumped back on the bed and laid down. I hope that he makes her cry and calls her names. I closed my eyes. I really was tired. Life with out Max will be great! No one telling me what to do, that I need to beat up Iggy, or getting me in trouble. I bet Iggy will be happy when he finds out too. Nudge probably won't be. She likes Max for some weird reason. Who could like a bitch like that? Ha, ha. I called Max a bitch and no one yelled at me. I love this!

I fell asleep. I like sleeping in a bed without Max. She either hogs the covers or gets on my side of the bed. It's weird. I woke up later, feeling happy. Then I noticed that Max still wasn't back. Uh oh. That's not good. What if she's hurt? I mean sure, when I was mad, I acted glad that she left. But now…no way I want him hurting her. I bet she just got lost. I waited a long time. She didn't come back. I got to go find her! I jumped off the bed and opened the door. I ran down the hall , avoiding the people that were yelling at me or trying to grab me. One guy almost got me but I jumped up, flapping my wings. I got off the ground! I flew! I'll have time to be happy later. I've got to find Max!

Max's POV

Stupid Fang. He's mean. All I did was tell him what I think! He needs to quit being a baby.

"Hi there."

I turned my head and saw a woman. I smiled. Their nicer than the guys. Well most of them. There's this one that always yells at me when I get out of my cage and go exploring. Fuck her. Ha. I said a bad word. Anyways, I looked at the woman. Guess my exploring's over.

"Are you taking me back to the room?" I asked.

"What?"

I smiled. She didn't know what I belonged in the room? This might be fun! "Nothing. Who are you?"

"I'm Mrs. Batchelder."

"That's a hard word." I told her. "I'm going to call you Mrs. B."

She sighed. "I was actually looking for someone."

"You don't live here?"

"No."

"You're not a Whitecoat?"

"A what?"

I smiled again. "Nothing. Who are you looking for?" Was I going to help her? No. But this could be fun!

"A man named Jeb." She said.

"Oh I know him." I told her. "Come on!"

I started walking towards where his office was. Yeah, I found it one time with Fang when we went exploring. We took some candy. This time though, Jeb was in there. I opened the door.

"Jeb! She wants to talk to you!"

He jumped up. "Max was are you-" He looked at the Mrs. B. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. You told me one time that you worked out here and I came to find you. It's about the baby. I left him at the neighbors."

Jeb looked sick. I bet he's in trouble. "You shouldn't have come here."

"Is she your mom?" I asked. "Are you in trouble?"

"No." Jeb said.

"Max!" Fang came running by the door, a bunch of people running after him. Uh oh.

"Got to go Jeb." I ran out the door. "Bye Mrs. B!" I yelled over my shoulder.

"Max get your ass back here!" I heard Jeb yell.

I smiled, opening my wings. When Fang and I were in the room, we tried to fly. It was hard. I wonder if I can do it now? I flapped them and kept running until I was above the ground. I flew past the people and above Fang.

"Hi Fang!"

He looked up. "Max?" He fell. The people stopped. They grabbed him and pulled me out of the air. I glared at the person dragging me back to the room. The others went back to work. They threw us into the room and Fang hugged me as soon as they closed the door.

"Fang! You're hugging to hard."

He let go. "I'm sorry about what I said. I don't want him to hurt you."

It took me a second to remember what he was talking about. Oh yeah. "That's not important. Guess what I did?"

"What?"

"I flew!"

"Me too."

"Liar."

"I did."

"Sure Fang." I got up on the bed.

"I did Max!"

"I'm tired now. Night." He's such a liar.

Fang glared at me. "Whatever."

I have no idea if Jeb's wife ever went where he worked. And I highly doubt that she ever met Max. But I'm bored and was running out of ideas. It jsut came to me.
