YO! So, yes I know you will look at the chapter and be like "What the ...?" That I skipped most of break. SORRY! But seriously, I'm saving you guys the torture of reading my crappy filler chapters. ;) Oh and I almost forgot: CHAPTER 25! YESSSS! Thank you so much for the reviews (love them!) and the favorites and followers! Makes me so happy! I will keep writing this FanFic until I get bored and run out of ideas. So expect a lot more!
Enough randomness! Shall I set the scene?
It's monday morning, School. (bleh.) Fang desides he is going to go to school again! YAY! Maybe some Ari and the wicked (b)Witches drama. Oh and a new character!
Enjoy! -Faerie :D
Fang's POV
The rest of break had been boring. Max had been hanging out with Ella and Iggy all weekend. She always invited me, but I got the feeling that Iggy doesn't like me. Like, REALLY doesn't like me. I missed Max so much that I decided to go back to school. My mom had the teachers email me my homework and I copied Max's notes but really, sitting at home by myself without Max was killing me. I just hoped Ari didn't bother me again.
Max's POV
It was very early on Monday morning when I heard my door close. I was in that half awake state when the rightside of my bed creaked a little. I opened my eyes to find Fang lying next to me smiling.
"Holy crap, you are a freaking ninja!" I practicly screamed, throwing a pillow at him. Fang smiled and put the pillow under his head. I stretched my arms and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.
"I'm going back to school today," he said in his calm voice, staring at my ceiling.
"You are? Awesome!" He nodded. I rolled over to face him. Fang just stared at the ceiling. I flicked his earing and smiled when he smirked a little.
"What's wrong? You don't seem excited. Tell me." he rolled over on his side, proping up his head on his elbow, so he faced me.
"It's the kids at school" Fang said quietly after a few long moments. "I hate being the outsider."
"Don't we all?" He avoided my eyes. "Just give them a totaly badass glare and walk away." Silence.
"Or you could just ignore them and follow Ella, Iggy and I around."
"Iggy hates my guts."
"No he doesn't. He is just..." Oh god what was the word... "he is like an over protective brother." Well that was better than telling him that Iggy likes me. Fang laughed and smiled.
"What's so funny?"
"People really need to realize that your are Maximum Ride and you can handle yourself."
"Tell that to my parents, teachers, neighbors, Iggy, THE WORLD." Fang laughed some more. But I was not kidding. Everyone is always saying stupid stuff like "Oh Max, careful walking to the bus stop!" or "Max, slow down, you are going to hurt yourself!" Or even "Max darling, you are so fragile! Please be careful!" Yah. Fragile. Sure.
*line break*
Fang and I decided to walk to school and stop at the little cafe down the street. Fang walked with his arm around my waist, giving me butterflies. We stopped in the cafe and got coffee and giant chocolate chip cookies. The little metal table rocked a little on its cheep unsturdy legs. All was well until Ari and the populars walked in. Dylan, Ari and Ryan walked in with the little (B)Witches, Tiffany, Lissa and Aubry. Oh crap we were doomed. They walked over and pulled up chairs at our table.
"Hey Max. Hey Fang." Ari reached for my cookie. I smacked his hand so hard a couple people at the other tables stopped and stared. Nobody messes with my cookies!
"So, Fang, you are coming back to school?" Tiffany asked with a sneer.
"Yeah. Hope the school hasn't been infected by you guys while I was gone."
"Nope. But lets hope you don't turn everyone Emo." Ari said, Dylan laughing like it was the greatest come back of all time.
"You can't "turn someone emo". So leave us alone." I said, finishing my coffee so we could get out of here.
"Oh shut up Max. You don't know anything." My god they were terrible at this. Fang and I got up and walked out. They were idiots. Nothing we could do to change that.
*line break*
I went to math and Ella and I passed notes the whole class. We mastered the art of Note Passing in 7th grade. If you sit behind the person, toss it onto their chair. Infront you use your foot to slide it to the person. Across the room? Hopeless. Ella and I sit across the table from each other so we stick the notes in our notebooks so the other can slip it out and answer. Our school was to stupid to give the cool row desks to every class room so we have stupid tables filling our cramped classroom.
Classes went by with me txting Fang under the table. You would think if we were living down the hall from each other you would be sick of the person. Not true. I missed Fang incredibly. During fitness we played volley ball (NO!). I HATE it more than any other sport. It's flying objects hurtling through the air at you and you fall down trying to catch the thing. Lissa and Aubry hit the ball over the net and hit me in the head at least 4 times.
"What is this crap!? I bet it's horse meat or something!" Ella screamed at lunch when she was covering her hamburger with pickles. I poked at mine and followed her to where Iggy and Fang were sitting. We sat at the round blue table and began to eat the mysterious meat hamburgers with radioactive pickles and "ketchup". Suddenly Ella started waving like a lunitic to a girl across the cafeteria. The girl walked over and sat down.
"Guys, this is Ally. She is new. I saved her from being kidnapped and drugged into stupidity by the populars." The girl had brown eyes framed by mascara coated eyelashes. She was tall and had dark blue rectangular glasses. Her hair was just below her shoulders and a natural shade of red. I felt unsure about her. No wonder Ella had to step in to save her. The populars would have snatched her up and turned her into one of them, all because of her hair. Trust me. We don't need any more redheads running around wrecking havoc.
Iggy, Ella and even Fang loved her as soon as she opened her mouth to talk.
"I transfered from Park Dale because the kids there were brats." I laughed.
"Yah, this place ain't much better." Iggy put his arm around her. (bleh)
"Oh Ally, that's just Max being Max. As long as you hang with us you will be fine." He gave her a flirty smile, making her freckled face blush. (double bleh)
"Really? Hang with a flirt, a spaz, a weirdo and an emo?" We all stared at her. "I'm kidding! I'm such a dork. You guys seem really cool." I caught Fang watching her. I pulled out my phone.
Me: Hey dude. Over here! Your girlfriend is sitting at the same table!
Fang: I'm not checking her out. She will leave us for the populars any second now.
Me: Sure. She is just another copy of Lissa in disguise.
Fang: Maxy, seriously. You are the prettiest girl I have ever seen. I don't want some stupid Lissa clone.I smiled and tuned back into the conversation with Ally.
Fang's POV
Crap. I was dead meat. Red hair is one of my weaknesses. I mean I love Max. Really love her. But Ally was actually really pretty. No Fang. Shut up. You love Max. I looked to my angel Max. Her chocolatey eyes glaring at Ally, a fake smile plastered across the lips I craved. There was no thinking about it. I loved Max.
*after lunch*
Still Fang's POV
Ally sat next to Iggy at our table in english. Max looked like she was going to explode. We were supposed to be reading our openings for the paper due and giving critiques and filling out papers. Instead, we were listening to Ally talk and flirt with Iggy.
"Iggy you are SO funny!" She said, practicly sitting on his lap. Max was trying to work on her paper. I heard her swearing under her breath. She jammed her earbuds in. Dang it. I was on my own.
"But really I was sick and tired of having the populars bully my friends. So I just gave them the finger," Iggy told her.
"Yeah and later, this is the best part of the story, Dylan shoved him into a trash can and all the trash went everywhere and they both got detention!" I said sarcastly, going back to drawing in the margins of my notebook paper. Ally laughed and got up to sharpen her pencil.
"She is so HOT!" Iggy whispered loudly to Max and I.
"She is such a s-" Max started, her voice filled with venom.
"Max, calm down." I interrupted her, I placed a hand gently on her arm and then went back to drawing. Ally came back and moved her chair between Iggy's and mine. Then she started flirting with me. Max was going to tear my head off. Or hers.
"So, Fangy, mind if I read your paper? I need some ideas for mine. And I'm sure you are an amazing writer," she said, perfect teeth shineing.
"Uh...It's Fang. Not Fangy. And no."
"Why not Fang? Please? You seem like a really cool guy." Ally pouted slightly and started to slip the paper I had typed and printed out from under my arms. I stuffed it in my bag and lifted Max's chin. I kissed her lips breifly and turned back to Ally.
"No." She looked between me and Max, who's glare was gone but was looking around the table, trying to decide what had happened. Ms. Lang walked over.
"Max? Music out. You guys are supposed to be sharing your work. Ally? Leave Iggy alone and Fang, please save the kissing for the hallways." She smiled and walked away. Well that was embarassing. Max was glaring at her paper and stuffed her iPod back in her bag. All I could do was pat her back and give her half smiles when she looked up at me.
Max's POV
The minute I got home I chucked my phone onto the couch. Ella and I had gotten in a texting battle about Ally. To her she was some "cool" new kid who we should all be friends with. To me she was just another Tiffany. We already have to deal with her and the clones Aubry and Lissa. They don't need a fourth. But we don't need a fith. But I saw the way Fang looked at her. Ally was pretty. I'm not going to lie. I just can not STAND seeing Fang look at her that way then turn and give me the same look.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a Fanta from the fridge. Some people drown their sorrows with alchohol. I drown in soda. I sat on the couch. Suddenly Fang hopped over the back of the couch.
"Again with the ninja skills. Goodness." He smiled and laughed a little.
"Max, I'm so so sorry about today. You are the prettiest girl I have ever seen and so smart and funny. I wouldn't want any other girl. Expecialy not that Ally girl. And besides, she dies her hair." I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer for a kiss. Okay maybe today wasn't that bad.
