Max POV

And for the next scoop of Max's insane roller coaster some people may call life and/or highschool I welcome you to Monday at school when I find posters all over the school advertising my own personal hell or as many may like to call it Sadies. *insert creepy thunder noise here* I mean it wouldn't be that bad if my life was the way it had been about 2 weeks ago before the whole breakup happened, but its not so its pretty terrible.

I'm sitting in class staring out the window thinking about things. Yes... I said thinking... stop looking so shocked. Yeah I mean you in the back.

The gossip about the breakup between Fang and I has been wandering around the schoo like a bad smell and every time I hear a comment about it, I want to implode.

From the girls:

"Did you hear what happened to Max and Nick?"
"He broke up with her last week! OMG So insane! Who would have thought?"
"I saw it coming, there was no way a guy like Nick could stick with something as ugly as that thing he was dating... he was way to good for her anyway."
"Well now he's totally single and totally hott and we totally have a dance coming up. Like OMG... I'm SOOOOO going to ask him!

... And I'm so totally going to barf.

And from the guys:

"Dude, Apparently Max put Nick in his place last week."
"Dude she's such a badass."
"I know man and so hott."

*insert sigh here* I wish I could curl up and die in a small pathetic hole. Why me? Perfect timing Fang... just plain-freaking-perfect.

The bell rings signaling lunch and I stand up so fast, all of my books dump out of my backpack onto the floor. With a sigh, I shove my hand through my bangs and kneel down to pick my stuff up. Today is not one of my favorite days.

"Hey... need some help with that?" A deep voice says from above me. I look up and find myself staring at Dylan. My mind snaps into hyper-drive. If I say no, I'll have to pick it up by myself which means time to think, and less lunch and not seeming like a hopeless damsel in distress... but if I say yes, things go faster and it will be a good chance to make Fang (who's walking up the aisle at this very moment) jealous... hmmmmmm what to do?

"Um... yeah, sure whatever." I mumble. Dylan kneels down and picks up my journal, he hands it to me and gives me a sad look. "Sorry about what happened." He says. I look up and glare at him. "That is none of your business." He looks dejected for a moment and then looks down and picks up the last book lying on the floor. "What are you wearing to Sadies?" Dylan asks. I raise my eyebrows... "I'm not going dumbass." He shakes his head and stands up. "Sorry I just thought I'd try to make conversation." I roll my eyes. "Yeah well don't bother... I'm not in the mood to deal with people right now, and frankly? You're not worth my time." I said grabbing my backpack, the hurt on Dylan's face was obvious... But I ignored it, stood, and walked out of the classroom.

As I walk out to lunch, I notice a very dejected looking Fang sitting at a table with what looks like bazillions of girl standing around twirling their hair and giggling like maniacs. I feel a pang of jealously, but I stomp on it and walk over to my group of friends... I won't be saving him this time...

Fang POV

"Like omigod Fang! We should totally go to Sadies together! What do you say?"

"No."

"Fang will you please please please! Go to Sadie's with me?"

"No."

I am going to shoot somebody... I swear the moment someone else asks me to Sadie's I will hang them.

When I was with Max, I never had to deal with things like this. People left me alone because they didn't want to end up beaten to a bloody pulp via Max. I'd forgotten how annoying this was.

I sat at a table at the far corner of the cafeteria, as far away from Max's table as possible. I'd like to say I was sitting by myself, but this was clearly not the case. I was surrounded by girls... Tons of them, and they were EVERYWHERE. The word Sadie's was present at every angle of my head... No matter where I went, I couldn't escape it. Everyone wanted to go with me. Max had it easy... I wonder what it'd be like for her when any other dance came around.

No... Bad Fang get her out of your head NOW.

The thing about being broken up with Max was the insane awkwardness that came along with not being her friend anymore. From the moment Max set foot in this school, she was one of my best friends. I trusted her, and I went to her whenever. She had been my go to person in every situation.

In a good mood: call Max

In a bad mood: call Max

Just heard the funniest/nastiest joke ever: call Max

And now that I wasn't able to go to her... It was as if I had nobody. Screw that I did have nobody. Everyone was pissed at me for ending it. Iggy wouldn't talk to me, neither would Nudge, and definitely not Max. Everyone I cared about was mad at me, and everyone who I didn't give a damn about was thrilled.

Like Dylan for example.

Ok I know the guy isn't all that bad, but seriously? The whole pick up the girl who's having a bad day's books? I mean really? Anyone knows that playing that card with Max... Well let's just say you should have folded. Dumbass...

Im thinking about all of this, my mind racing when i suddenly realize that things have gone silent and everyone has left the lunchroom and it is dead silent. The bell rings and I curse under my breath. I can hear my teacher's critisism now "Tardy again Fang?" I sigh and make my way to fifth period.

Bridgid POV

"Zoey my life sucks right now." I say in a depressed tone to my friend who sits beside me in my world cultures class. "Whoa no hello? Things must really be bad." she says looking up at me, black eyes wide with concern. "What happened?" I sigh and sit down. "Well F-Nick broke up with Max and-"

" Guys did you hear? Nick is currently single and Obviously not ready to mingle." Caitlyn, my other friend says sitting down in her seat on my other side. "We were just getting there." Zoey says. "Besides, why do you care? You've already got Derek..." Caitlyn shrugs. "I was saying for Bridgid's sake."

"I know he's single... And I'm not happy even though I should be!" I say. Both look at me with their eyebrows raised.

"You're kidding right?" Zoey says. "Is this not like the thing you've been dreaming of ever since you met this guy?" Caitlyn finishes. I sigh in exasperation. "Yeah... Sort of but I feel like it's my fault so instead of a victory... It feels like crap." Both look at me confused. "How the hell would this be your fault?" Zoey asks. I shrug. "I don't know! It's just how I feel!"

"Girls if you have something you'd like to say to the entire class, please do." My teacher, Mr. Hilger says. We all look up and I put on my best innocent face. "No Mr. Hilger, we were just discussing the topic." I said and give him my best smile. He shakes his head and continues to speak. "We're so going to talk about this later." Caitlyn says to me and I roll my eyes.

Dylan POV

Well phase one of mission "get Max to like me" is obviously failing miserably. And when I say like me I mean as a friend... I mean, yeah maybe I have a small crush on her, but I'm not about to force her to date me, especially after what happened with her a Nick. I'm not going to be a jerk. Now if only I could get her to speak to me for more than a minute and actually have a decent conversation with her... Now that'd be nice.

I sigh while going over all of this in my head. The last period of the day is always the worst... And for me, it's math. Usually it's easy for me to pay attention, but today, paying attention might as well be a mission to mars. What did I do to piss Max off so badly? I just didn't see it.

I glance at the clock and realize that class is about to end and hurriedly shove my stuff into my backpack. Just as I zip it up, the bell rings and I'm the first person out of the room. Now it's off to find Bridgid, and go home. I walk fast with my head down, my mind wandering off in random directions when I slam into something and am rudely snapped out of my gaze. I hear a gasp, a curse and suddenly I realize that Maximum Ride has fallen to the ground at my feet and all of her stuff has dumped all over the floor again.

Well shit

"You've got to be kidding mr." Max says and hold my hand out. I'm surprised when she grabs it and allows me to help her up. "I'm really sorry." I say. Max looks at me for a moment with a half glare and then it dissolves and her look softens. "Look I'm sorry about earlier but... You know... Um don't worry about it. Uh yeah." I look at her and smirk. "Why... am I getting an apology from the great Maximum Ride?" I say placing a hand over my heart. Now Max gives me a full on glare. "Don't get used to it." she says and shoves her stuff back into her backpack. "Look, I'm sorry about running into you, I've been out of it all day." Max nods. "It's fine... Payback for earlier." I shrug. "Look, I don't want to make you hate me ok? And if you do I apologize for whatever I did that made you feel that way but please, give me a chance. I just want to be your friend." I say in a pleading tone before I can stop myself.

Max is raising her eyebrow. Crap. One of my major downfalls, always speaking my mind right when it is completely unnecessary. "Why Dylan... Is that an apology I hear?" she says and I laugh. "Yeah I guess... So... Friends?" she smirks and nods "Sure." My heart soars. And my manly points go down the tubes. "Cool." Max gives me a half smile. "I'll see you around Dylan." she says and then turns and walks away.

Well then... Mission accomplished.
