Max POV

"Hahahahah!" I laughed as Cassie struggled with the seatbelt on the bus.

"Ha, will see who's laughing when this metal death-trap get's in an accident and all of you go flying out the windows." Cassie mumbled after finally getting her buckle on correctly.

"Yeah, okay." I said sarcastically.

"So, you excited too be going back?" Cassie asked setting her hands on her lap.

"No." I said honestly. You see after I 'exploded' Cassie found me in the middle of the woods passed out and in desperate need of a good healing session. So she took me to this special cove in the middle of the Indian Ocean for a week to get me back on my feet again, but then Cassie wanted to teach me more about our world, so she and some other magical beings decided to help me out. But then me and the mermaids got in a little fight and me and Cassie got kicked off the island. So that's why were back here now.

"Oh come on aren't you the least bit excited to see what rumors the sea witches started about you after you never came back to school that day." Cassie asked excitedly.

"No...maybe...yes." I admitted.

"See, we have something to look forward too now." Cassie said with a grin.

"Why would you get excited about rumors?" Our new partner in crime named Nudge asked from behind us. You see Nudge was one of the few mermaids that liked us and thought our humor was funny and not repulsive, so we decided to take her back with us and lets just say she LOVES land. Like really LOVES it.

"Because there airheads." Cassie said while smoothing her white dress.

"Oh...alright." Nudge said before sitting back down in her seat, but not before mumbling, "Humans heads are full of air now?"

"HEY WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT BELT ON!" Cassie screamed at Nudge.

"Me, take the risk of wrinkling this new skirt, uh no thanks." Nudge said.

"You all are going to get yourselves killed." Cassie mumbled while crossing her arms.

"And we will haunt you forever." I said giving her a side hug before turning my attention towards the window only to see the school coming into view.

Oh Joy I thought before grabbing my bag.

School Time!

I watched as the bus pulled away from the curb and let out a deep breath before during my attention back to the prison known as school.

"EEEEEKKKK! I CAN'T BELIEVE I GET TO GO TO AN ACTUAL SCHOOL!" Nudge squealed happily.

"Whoa calm down Nudge it's not all it's cracked up too be." I said while rolling my eye's.

"Oh shut up and stop raining on my parade. OOOOOO IS THAT AN ACTUAL DRINKING FOUNTAIN." Nudge screamed while taking off and running through the double doors.

"Oh marsh..." I mumbled while shaking my head.

"Oh, give her a break Max. She's never been to a normal school in her entire life." Cassie said while punching me lightly on the shoulder.

"I know, but her excitement is really bringing me down." I said lightly.

"Alright Mrs. Sunshine how bout I run and get Nudge and then we will go grab our schedules and come find you before the bell." Cassie suggested.

"Sure." I replied after a moment of silence. Cassie gave a curt nod before running off after Nudge and through the doors of the school. I then slowly started walking towards the trees in front of the school and leaned against one letting out a long exhausted sigh not really ready to go in yet.

"MAXIE! IS THAT YOU?! IN A DRESS!" I heard an all too familiar voice scream. I slowly opened my eye's and saw a very perky Iggy running towards me with his arms opened wide and before I could even scream, he had wrapped me tightly in them.

"OH MAXIE I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! HOW WAS THAT TRIP TO ALASKA!" Iggy asked excitedly and started jumping us up and down.

"Iggy, I texted you I was in Alabama not Alaska." I gasped out through his tight grip.

"Pssh girl I knew that I was just testing you. Sooooo did you meet any cute cowboys?" Iggy asked while looking down at my white dress and cow girl boots.

"No." I snickered as he winked wierdly at me.

"Fine don't tell me." Iggy said while putting me down linking our arms instead.

"So, how have you've been Iggy." I asked as we walked towards the double doors.

"Oh you know same old, same old." Iggy said shoving the doors open.

"Wow I never thought I'd see the day where your life went boring." I said surprised.

"It's not boring! It's just I decided to press pause on my life story for a while." Iggy said appalled.

"What ever you say Iggy." I laughed before starting to walk towards my locker. But when I arrived I saw the most repulsive thing in the world sitting on a familiar black-haired traitor in a wheelchair in front of my locker...again.

"OKAY!," I shouted while making my way towards my locker, "REALLY STOP HAVING A THREESOME WITH MY LOCKER! I MEAN I KNOW IT'S SEXY AND ALL, BUT REALLY I DON'T ENJOY YOUR GUY'S STD'S RUBBING OFF ON IT." I yelled while kicking Fang's wheelchair away from my locker.

"I don't know Max, I'm pretty sure it's infected now." Iggy said.

"Yeah, your probably right." I replied sadly and slapped it before shouting in fake hurt, "WOW DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO CHOOSE THE NASTY PEOPLE! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"

"See Fangy, I told you she was sent to a special home." I heard Lissa sneer.

"Lissa..." I heard Fang warn. But I quickly spun around and let out a fake gasp before screaming,

"AHHHH! FANG WHAT DID THAT THING TO YOU?!"

"ARE WE EVEN SURE THAT IT'S A THING!" Iggy screamed before wrapping his arms around my waist and putting me behind him.

"No! Iggy! We can't!" I pleaded.

"No! Max if were going to make it out alive we have to run now." Iggy said. But before I could even reply Iggy already threw me over his shoulder and we were racing down the halls.

Well at least Iggy didn't change I thought before letting out a laugh. But not before seeing Fang shove Lissa off him and start wheeling after us.

"Iggy! The dark one's gaining on us!" I hissed in his ear.

"Don't worry he won't..." Iggy started, but was interrupted when a strong force knocked into his feet causing his grip to loosen and for me to fall out of his grasp. I let out a surprised gasp as my head connected to the floor and I watched as Iggy collapsed to the floor with a loud 'thunk' beside me. I then felt strong arms lift me off the ground and set me on their lap, but before I could even look into the familiar black eye's I knew I was going to turn too, I felt his hand grip my chin and then his lips came crashing down on mine.
